Bright, punchy Stainless Steal Strings. DR's great.

They go dead a bit faster than other brands I've noticed, but while they are fresh they sound really bright.

A full stack for $350 shipped. YES PLEASE!

They work and for the musician on a budget that's one of two major factors in New Gear Acquisition (NGA), the other being price. I have an LH1000 pumping through them and they take it like champs.

They don't like distortion I discovered and the screws from factory need to be tightened a bit.

No bells or whistles. Just a straight up Bass Wah.

If you're needing a bass wah, might as well be this one. No complaints against it except maybe the price for them brand new.

Great rare piece of musical history. One of the most "metal" looking basses ever.

These were made from 1985-1986 during Takamine's short entry into the world of electric solid bodies, JUST before they got sued by Gibson and sold the company, losing nearly all their paperwork on these beauties.

Double precision 4 string, 22 frets. Made famous by front man and bassist David Vincent of Morbid Angel. Super fast neck as it was made for Japanese players' hands.

The pickups are a tiny bit weak on the high end. David Vincent swapped the PPs with EMGs for his tone.

It's an eye catcher. People have to look at it and touch it everywhere it goes. It's the 4th most rare in the Tak series so they can go for a pretty penny. Lowest prices seen were 800 back in the early 2000's.

That's cool. Definitely a bold design, and I'm a fan when companies take chances like this.

That bass looks like the model that Mike of Killswitch Engage plays. The body style definitely reminds me of his bass.

Dual channel Gain, built in Decimator G String-II noise gate, and decent EQ in one pedal

It's a great little stomp box. Built very well, the LEDs are amazingly bright, and it looks cool.

I mainly bought this for the Decimator G String-II circuit. Those by themselves are $100 less than this entire pedal so I figured I would grab the extra features. If you are looking for a distortion box with an EQ or just a small Noise Gate, look no further. The ISP BETA is the bass version of this pedal and even has a built in ISP signature compression.

Greatest entry level 5 string bass! Fast neck, 24 frets over 34 inch scale, and great tone shaping through an active EQ.

This was my main bass for a loooong time. It's efficient. I like small necks and this is one of the smallest 5 string necks you'll find. This model is from 2006 and has Bass Boost/cut, Treble boost/cut, Blend/Tone, and Master volume. They are hard to find in this configuration but it's worth it. You can find them in mint condition for $300.

The aesthetics are nice because the bass doesn't look out of place in different stages. Metal, Country, cover bands, etc. The look is so neutral it fits everywhere.

Great Bass. It's my main. Has great range in tone. Always sounds good and growly.

I grabbed it because my favorite tone on earth is Alex Webster's tone. For a fraction of the price of his signature, you can buy one of these, a brass nut, and the EMG QBC system with EMG 40DCs. Cost me 700 for all this because I bought my legend used.

Excellent little head, reliable as hell. Owners of these don't get rid of them. They know in 20 years they'll still be kicking out those 700 watts.

It's a great amp for the cost. They are in a lot of people's closets. They aren't a MAIN rig for active gigging musicians usually because of weight and headroom, but they make a great backup. I've never seen one that didn't work.

ULTRA lightweight and loud as hell, bring that Fender, overly clean tone with it. Best gigging combo out there.

I use it for gigs and auditions. I know it will overshadow a drummer if needed and it wont break my back getting it there.

There are magnets in the corners so if you pair it with other Rumble V3 equipment, it will automatically latch on and keep it straight.

Does the job and looks cool.

I use it primarily for turning on all my gear at once. I occasionally use it to hang shirts just in from the dry cleaners. Functional beyond it's purpose.

Look's great and it's very effective, even on lower gauge strings.

I use it atop my rack to give off a "Cylon Eye" effect. I can see it from about 80' of angles. The LEDS are bright and the tuner works very well. The only rack tuners I've seen beat it are $450+ . They only beat it in the slightest of degrees. They are not worth the extra cost in my opinion. Grab this one.

It's okay. It didn't do as much as I had hoped it would but it's an industry standard in small studios.

I try and use it to keep my sound more even. Occasionally I will have a finger nail pluck a string and it peaks super loud. I use compression to try and hide this accident.

Great little preamp preferred by many in the bass community due to it's parametric MID control.

I use it in series with the SansAmp RBI followed by an ISP THETA pedal.

Great tone shaping. Not as good as the Pedal version (Bass Driver DI) in my opinion but I'm a rack guy.

It's a great, hi power amp on it's own. Hartke is top of the line customer service and the front to back cooling is revolutionary for rack gear.

I use it as a 1000 watt power amp and my tone comes from my SansAmp RBI + RPM in series followed by an ISP THETA pedal.
