The greatest Bass of the 1980’s is the L2 Steinberger

Close second is what Michael Tobias was getting up to in California

One day I’ll repay the debt.

What is concern to me presently is the TM scam BS.

NBDWBPP (new bass day with bonus puppy picture)

2002 USA Stingray in translucent gold, courtesy of Nev Claughton. Strung up with LaBellas, already the nicest bass I've ever played (and I've played a few).

I think I need a bigger amp than the fly bass I have, something that takes pedals well and has a bit of oomph, but doesn’t need to be giggable…. Thinking 10” combo, maybe the Warwick BC40 or a Rumble 40? Thoughts?
