My gear 19

The Moog Taurus 3 was about 2000€ 10 years ago. Not just a cheap instrument, but why doesn't it have an XLR output? In addition, the operating options are quite cumbersome. To be honest, I've never used the two wheels left and right on the dashboard, because I just don't have enough feeling in my feet to use the controls "musically". Instead, I use a Boss FV500L to control the volume, in which I built in a DI box. Very good: The pedal is extremely robust and clearly superior to its predecessors. So far I've done about 350 gigs with it and no problems at all.
The Kemper can also play bass! I used it to replace all the sounds I needed previously with the Boss GT10B. The important thing is that all sounds sound better and I still can't say that I have understood all the functions or that I have already perfectly adjusted the amp. But I'm working on it!
This bass speaker sounds great if you tend towards a more distorted sound. I'm primarily a pick bassist and used to regularly kill tweeters of many brands (SWR, Trace Elliot). The QS410's neodymium speakers are first class coax speakers, and the speaker weighs just 33 kg. Unfortunately, the tolex is almost completely worn off after more than 500 gigs.
The PSM300 does its job without any problems. Low noise and low power consumption. Unfortunately a bit expensive: The original Shure battery with charger.
Usually I prefer the Precision bass guitars, but I could not resist buying this awesome instrument from 1969. It features candy apple red nitro laquer and rosewood fingerboard
This guitar fits my needs perfectly. Very good action, reliable tuning. Very low battery consumption. Sometimes the tuner switch is a bit tricky, but works after several tries.
The bass sounds good and has a very good tuning stability. Low battery consumption. Criticism: The neck is rather long and the tuner button reacts a bit tricky
A terrible device, but it works well as a DI box. The operation is unfortunately cumbersome. The tuner is crap. After all it has an expression pedal, which I use for volume.
I had the chance to buy on e of the first production. Real good bass guitar
Some times I play guitar on stage. That's why I wanted to have a Strat. The guitar is good, but I found better Stratocasters in the past, especially some Custom Shop models or some really fine adjusted guitars which cost a lot more. Mine plays and sounds great and fits my needs.
I have it now for a couple of years. When I bought a second transmitter I had some action in updating the old package to the new software.
I already had some 5-strings (Lag, Rickenbacker, Framus Double Neck with 12-string, Warwick Thumb 5, Fender Jazz Bass). The Sting Ray 5 is the most comfortable of all. It's not too-heavy and plays great. I have it since 1995, but I've hardly used it for years - what a shame! I use it with regular steel strings (045 - 125)
It might be the thin laquer or the fine quality of selected wood what makes this 3,7 kg bass the best Precision of my collection - awesome! I find it somewhat annoying that the poorly visible fret markings on the side of the neck have also been taken over from the past. You have to use a marker to help you when you have to expect darkness on stage
This Ibanez Jet King is a very underestimated and inexpensive bass, made in China. Although it does not feel as *comfortable* as a Fender Precision Bass this bass offers a variety of cool sounds and plays wonderful. It is less than 4 kg and I prefer it for rehearsing with extra light strings (040-100)
I use it in cases of travelling by air in combination with a Roland JV2020. It is a kind of low weight Moog Taurus, but it works
Excellent Precision Bass with special laquer finish with mother-of-pearl effect and d-tuner. The bass features the classic Precision Sound. I have put on slightly softer strings (040 - 100). This makes it very easy to play in Drop-D without it sounding thin
I use it only for traveling by plane to replace the heavy Moog Taurus 3 - it works in combination with a Roland FC-200
It is pretty ight weight and is woderful to play. I changed the original white pickguard to a metal pickguard to pimp the look
This, 3,8 kg Fender Precision bass is as it should be. I found it online at https://www.captain-koerg.de I received the bass in perfect condition although it is 28 years old :-)))
