Peavey Foundation bass.
It's left handed and going for 280 with the case. The thing sounds incredible through the pawn shop Crate I played it through.
I play guitar but would like a bass to fart around with, maybe play in a band as just a guy and not a contributing member.

782I played a fretless Foundation exclusively for about 10 years. It is a perfectly functional instrument. If you're a lefty then this is a no-brainer.GuyLaCroix wrote: Thu Jan 09, 2025 5:12 pm Peavey Foundation bass.

783Fender Super Six just sitting here, waiting to bought:

I don't need this, yet...well I'm posting here, right?
My feeling is that's it's overpriced given the speaker replacements. Ten 30 Celestions I don't have experience with, but what I've read isn't encouraging. Sound like budget speakers that get mushy sound. Any care to weigh in?
Tempted to offer $800 all the same. Tell me again why this is dumb.

784They’re very very very awkward to move/store/etc.
Re: Gear: TALK ME OUT OF IT or JUSTIFY MY PURCHASE?
785There was one for sale here forever and I couldn't tell why there wasn't anything desirable about it - looked cool, all walnut. Glad to hear they're perfectly cromulent.GuyLaCroix wrote: Thu Jan 09, 2025 5:12 pm Peavey Foundation bass.

The SDotD is a moving cart. I need a dolly and this one seems fine.

788My experience is pretty limited... I played in a band with a guy who had the 6x10 twin maybe 25 years ago? I remember it being loud and piercing, and that's about it, but I don't think any of us understood how to make amps sound good back then.
There was a 4x12 version sitting in our practice space for several years, it belonged to the bass player of the band with whom we shared the space - I don't think anyone ever bothered to turn it on in that entire time, he eventually sold it. Isaac Brock really loves those things, but I imagine he has people to move that shit around for him.
If it scratches an itch, go for it, says I.

789To add on. Conan ahad the Quad Reverb in Replicator for many year. It was a pain in the ass, but it sounded fantastic. It also always sounded loud and clear over our monster drummer with the giant drums.mdc wrote: Sat Feb 01, 2025 8:25 am My experience is pretty limited...

However, I can't imagine using that if the sheer volume or sound spread wasn't necessary. In a basement, I can't imagine the Super Six would do anything that a Deluxe or Vibrolux wouldn't do in a much more pleasant manner. However, those are much more expensive than the Super Six that's been posted.

790Bry Webb of the Constantines played one for years and it sounded amazing there. It was parked in my old studio for a while. I didn't use it much but when I did it was good. It was really nice clean. Nice driven too but very loud to get to that sound like every other super I've ever played.
