I have wanted a 5 string bass guitar for a while and got this last week: the Dave Ellefson model however not his signature custom as that is quite a bit costlier than this: it has EMG active pickups:
I thought that I should have an amp-head with an active input so I got this:

This is my first NGD or NAD post, the photos are awful and really don't do the gear justice. The bass guitar is what I had been looking for and Jackson is a Fender family member now, the amp is great sounding and has a volume knob on the direct out so going into my GK head boosts my output to a better level.

Nice!! Congrats on your new gear SBLS!!!

Congrats on your new aquisitions Rollie

Ellefson always had the best sound of the big four. I'll even go on record and say better than Cliff Burton.

Congrats mate. Hope you love it.

I love "shark's teeth"!

Was it your birthday or what? I have to perform some major "sucking up" to the wife to rate a new guitar AND a new amp on the same day.



Rawk on!

Hey, Boy Blue is back!

+1 But I gotta ask Arjay...how many pair of shoes do you have to buy the 1st Sgt to rate a NAD/NGD?

SBLS...congrats on the pair! You are one lucky guy!

Well I've never had a simultaneous NAD/NGD.

But for a guitar OR a combo amp, three pair.

For a large piggy-back, five.

So if I am correct in my public math...the answer is 8? Glad you know the going rate!

Sorry for the hijack...my apologies SBLS!

Thanks Bros. This was really brought on by the "is a paint over possible" thread. Your encouragement on that thread helped bring out gear options I hadn't thought of before.

I've become a fan of Acoustic amps, too - both the acoustic type and the bass type. In fact, I own that same bass head, which I usually run through a Peavey 1820 cabinet - 18" BW subwoofer and two 10" speakers above. I like my bass to sound like BASS!
