I’ve moved on from both my Fender Rumble 100 (100W 12") combo amp and my Gibson EB-5 5 string bass. Both are mint, without a mark and have all original docs and packaging.
If you’re worried about a 5-string… I promise you will be forced to learn good technique lol, and it’s a lot easier than you think. I moved to a short scale Gibson SG because I play old school stuff
That’s a beautiful bass. I’d be interested if I was in the market, but I’m tapped out from recently buying the Rumble 500 amp head and cab.
I agree, playing a 5 string is just like playing a 4 string but with some conveniently located extra tones (plus the strings are closer together, which I like). Some people don’t like playing 5 string, but I love it… I’ll never go back to 4 strings.
Just a thought… You’re welcome to check it out, and if you think you’d like it I’d be happy to hold it til you’re ready. I’m not in any hurry and I don’t need the money.
Yeah if we can find a location in between us. I’m in San Tan Valley and you’re somewhere NW if I’m not mistaken. We’re probably around 60-70 miles apart.
Lol completely understandable. I do field service for may day job (including San Tan), so I already drive all over the valley and just incorporate that into wherever I want to go. I routinely drive 20-30 miles just to go out to eat to a specific restaurant lol
Lol self-inflicted for choosing to live in lovely San Tan! But it is a pretty nice area. I looked at buying a place there, but I really needed to be more centrally located for work.
It was what I could afford at the time. I have a nice little house and the value has more than doubled since I bought it. It’s a nice quiet neighborhood except for this one person who always starts practicing bass at 5 am.
Sorry, hope that didn’t come across as judgmental. Every decision has a grip of factors going in to it. We all have to make that decision that works best for our situation. Last time I bought a house, I chose it specifically because of its cost and mortgage payment, so that unemployment would cover it if I was laid off again… Which is exactly what happened lol. Glad to hear your decision has worked out so well for you. Lots of peace of mind there
