I've a fender amp and it rocks - it just doesn't shred.
Jack Bruce imitators BEWARE.......nomatter how sassy and sexy your
EB-0/EB-3 may be........it will never sound like JB without an old
Marshall Bass 100 head, preferably through a 4x10" or a 4x12".
In fact, I suspect, if you get your technique right, that and your amp
can produce an extremely Bruce-esque tone nomatter what bass you have
(single coil pickups won't work). My Eggle 5 through a 1971 100w
Marshall SuperBass head and a 1973 Bass 4x10" has that perfect Cream
live sound - just fat and sassy. Geezer Butler copyists take careful
note too.
Chris.
