I will have these by the end of the year hopefully.

I am going to look used first but check out these beautys! Solid rock n roll machines.

The amp is going to be a bit harder to find.

The amp is discontinued which is a shame but I am hoping I can find one used in the 1200-1500 range...and then one of these bad boys.

I was inspired to look for this stuff after a buddy and band mate of mine said he had about 3k to buy a Gibson Firebird, and Marshall stack! Well....I am selling some land this year (hopefully) and there is no way I am gigging out with a Korean made bass and a solid state setup on a budget cab. I have a low end Spector that sounds good..but the other guitar player is rocking USA made Fenders and a Marshall tube. I am not going to look like a hobo on stage next to these guys! LOL

But when I get the rig built I will take some pics for you rock n roll cats on here. BTW: Its pretty much the rig of the late Mike Starr from AIC. Except his bass is actually a higher end one than the one I posted, and his is rare. Those things are like 5-7K.

Anyway I am hyped! Hopefully before the end of this year, I will be flipping the tiles on neighbors floors and shaking the fillings in their teeth loose! Bwhahahahahha!

Now I just need an awesome top hat.
