take a Gretsch White Falcon into a Mesa rectifier and play Funk with that ;)
Great guitar, great Amp, but the sound might be terrible - the tone will be still good if you can play guitar.
That's actually very true, taking an example more of what I play is sweep picking - I could get the best guitar in the world and the best amp in the world, and my sweeping would sound absolutely awful if I didn't practice. Also tone has a lot to do with fretting hand positions and how you hold the pick, tone is as much down to the person as his equipment :)
also makkE I don't know if you've ever heard of them, but two brands called Sadowsky and Mayones produce phenomenal basses. I don't play bass but I tried out a Mayones bass one time, and liked it so much I decided to buy a guitar for myself....but they're not cheap sadly :(
