New rig in the house!!!!

[petruccirocks02]

Got a new rig in the house. An HD-500 to be exact, and the matching HD-410 cab will be here on Thursday due to UPS rescheduling the delivery. I can't wait to crank it up at practice and hear it with the full blown band. I'm sure it will sound phenomenal with my Bongo 4, Bongo 5, and my Sterling. I'm really psyched now that I'm all Musicman. Just wanted to share the excitement and a couple pics. I'll be posting pics of the head with the cab on Thursday along with all my "Balls" lined up. Thanks for taking the time to check it out. Also, if anyone has any good tone settings that I could try out with the head it'd be much appreciated. Thanks again.

Thanks Chuck! I couldn't agree with you more. I got the head and cab for a great price, so I couldn't have possibly passed it up. Now I just can't wait to hear it with my Bongo 5. I love the low B, and all those other low notes. Hah.

Sorry Alz, I'm trying to keep my hearing intact. LOL. I'd like to be able to hear and feel what I'm playing instead of just feeling it. LOL. Thanks though. Maybe I can get some suggestions from Stanky.

Nice! Looking forward to the complete pic & review...


As a player in my youth, my last set-up included a MusicMan 4x10 cabinet that was sooooo awesome - was my introduction to the bass-magic of 10s!

I've never had the pleasure of owning one of those heads, but I've always wanted to.

The cabinets are GREAT....

The cabinets are GREAT....

Well, that makes me feel good about my upcoming purchase.




Really though, you're going to enjoy that rig!

Indeed, I will. I finally get to try it out this week at practice. Should be pretty sweet. I'm gonna post up some pics tomorrow when the cab comes. Hey Andrew, you got any tone suggestions for the head to get a slightly overdriven sound on one of the channels?

Where did you get it?

Nice rig.

Heres my current all EB rig, that Stanky is sposed to be buying.

You know, I had the full rig set up last night practicing, and thought, " I just dont think Stanky is man enough for this rig". Andrew this rig has has BALLS.

 

[Dr Stankface]

Oh, i'm ready.

 

[petruccirocks02]

Where did you get it?

I actually bought the head from the Central Dallas GC, and the cab I bought from a store in San Jose.

I just got the cab about 2 hours ago and have been messing around with it. Man, it sounds great. Really tight low end, with a smooth top end. The cab can really move some air. I'll be posting pics in a little bit. Stanky, by the way, you're gonna love your rig when you get it I reckon.

I really wish they still made these

Here are some pics for you guys and gals. The grille of the cab is a little scratched up. After all it is used, but everything works great and sounds great. Other than the scratched up grille, I think I got a pretty good deal. The only thing I wish the cab had is wheels, cuz its kind of cumbersome to move around, but a set of Ernie Ball Casters will fix that. Enjoy the pics.

MusicMan... In & out and through & through!

MusicMan... In & out and through & through!

Exactly! Thats what I was going for. After all, I use their basses, strings, wonder wipes, fretboard conditioner, string cleaner, now the amp and cab LOL. What can I say? They make kick ass products.

Adelucia, I noticed you live in NJ. If you ever wanna get together and jam sometime let me know.
