Duff McKagan

Duff is seeing playing this bass on thr Live Ritz '88 show, as he said post on an interview for Total Guitar Bass Special Issue 2, April 2004: "I had a real bad experience with an active pickup. When we filmed live for MTV at the Ritz, the first song was It's So Easy. Kramer gave me this bass they wanted me to play and it was active. It's So Easy starts off with dnnna dnnna dn dnnna dnnna dn (sings opening bass figure and air fingers the bass)… The bass stopped working so I threw it and got my Fender back. So from then on I want my bass with a cord going into an amp; if it's two amps that's fine. And I'll probably play live that way." About the Spector Guitar in case the name kramer make some confusion: Spector Guitars In 1985, Kramer purchased the Spector guitar and bass company. It should be noted that during this time, Kramer was doing extremely well and was well on the way to becoming the biggest domestic manufacturer of electric guitars thereby, putting them in a position to buy out smaller companies in an effort to expand the size of it's base. http://www.vintagekramer.com/spector.htm Here is a pic of the bass http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q551/guitarhousenet/NS2%20Black%20Kramer%20Era/BlackNS2FullFrontw.jpg Here's another pic of Duff at the Live Ritz: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2011/32/1313325702-kramer.jpg And here is the live video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qix7JNA_Y70

Pure Function

A blue one of these ways my first "Real" instrument. A place called Black Market Music in SF used to let gigging musicians pay 1/2 and take the gear and pay the rest as you could-coolest elfin shop ever and I miss them :-( Anyway these are light, but neck through so you don't sacrifice any low end. It is SO easy to fret, and I pulled it out of storage after maybe 6 years and it was still perfectly intonated. Mine came with EMGs and so it has a nice high-mid clatter, but bump up the bass pot and its got a deep dance music rumble. Kick ass bass...
