Any recommendations?
Check out Eden.

IMO a parametric or semi-parametric EQ is essential. Every room/stage is different. The parametric gives you the best chance to adapt to different acoustics.

Damn.

How many bass players are on this forum?

Is there some correlation?

Agreed and you could also cram them in a rack case. It had too many buttons, lights and eq sliders for me to deal with. I kept it simple with tubes.
A heavy ass bass, phone cable strings, passive pickups, and tube power is what all those fancy esoteric lights and switches aim to emulate. Wanna sound like Jamerson? Dead ass strings a mute and lots of tubes.
Yep. I always subscribed to the theory less is more.

I’m a Libra but closest I come to bass is with a fishing pole.

I was wondering the same thing as I read through this thread! Add me to the list; I mess around with the bass as well. I have a Takamine acoustic-electric and an Epiphone that I bought recently. I'm also in the market for a combo - been looking at older models like an Acoustic 136 or similar.

Argh...add me to the list, too. I'm a sax player who also plays utility bass..."utility" means I can hold down the bass line, but if you want a bassist who's actually a frustrated lead guitar player, I'm not your man. I also wind up singing lead a lot.
