  1. Past hour
  2. Great set list @lozkerr
  3. The V4B is possibly the best combination of tone and versatility that Ampeg produced - it does lovely pre and power tube stress albeit at usable pub/club/venue volumes - in a unit that utterly defies the 100w designation 👍
  4. Funny you bumped this. I saw your listing on eBay and im trying to rationalise having two p basses. 🙈
  5. I think the main reason is to reduce the weight of the bridge and the overall weight of the latest Special Stingrays. The machine heads are also a reduced size lightweight design. As long as the bridge plate is well secured to the body there shouldn't be any noticeable difference in sustain. The classic pre EB bridge looks great but probably weighs twice what is necessary.

  7. Great amps - I just rehersed with mine this week after using something else for a year. I'd forgotten how good they sound. I'm gigging it tonight
  8. 😍 I love a bit of graphite weave 🥰
  9. Definitely is stubz, it’s all about the timing on that one , not quite as easy as it first seems
  10. Crisis…. 3pce original heavy rock since 1980….. we’re in the process of recording a new album “Homecoming”, which should be done by early next year. Three old men, pretending to still be relevant.
  11. I think this is why I don't work with valves and large voltages. I've read this 2-3 times. It looks like English, it sounds English but I think it's actually in Klingon. Hope you sleep well and I look forward to whatever you do being done.
  12. We're primarily an 80s band, but we don't enforce a cut-off date of 31st December 1989 or ignore anything released before 1st January 1980. The earliest song in our repertoire is Suffragette City (1972) and the most recent is Take Me Out (2004). But they're mainly 80s - here's our full list: Another Girl Another Planet Baby I Love You (Ramones cover) Back On The Chain Gang Bohemian Like You Call Me Cars and Girls Chance China Girl Crash (the Primitives song) Dakota Dignity Disco 2000 Don’t You Forget About Me Don’t You Want Me Echo Beach Everybody Wants To Rule The World German Film Star Going Underground Hanging On The Telephone Happy Birthday (the Altered Images song) Heart of Glass I Don’t Want A Lover I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll (Joan Jett rather than the Arrows) In Between Days Just Like Heaven Killing Moon Little Bird Long Train Running Losing My Religion Love Like Blood Love Shack Love Will Tear Us Apart Mandinka New Year's Day Perfect Skin Pretty In Pink Pride (In The Name Of Love) Psycho Killer Purple Rain Reward Rip It Up Running Up That Hill She Sells Sanctuary Should I Stay Or Should I Go Slippery People Somewhere In My Heart Suedehead Suffragette City Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This Tainted Love Take Me Out Teenage Kicks The Honeythief The One I Love There Is A Light That Never Goes Out There She Goes This Charming Man Town Called Malice White Wedding Whole Of The Moon
  13. A bit of a bugger to get right.
  14. Ampeg V4B Reissue 100w Valve Amp. In great condition and always kept in the Ampeg Cover sleeve. Only 6 months old and very light use, gigged it a few times and it's excellent. This is beautifully paired with a matching Ampeg SVT 212A. They both have almost brand new Ampeg Soft Covers too. Only selling as I use my new Barefaced 310 which is magnificent and I would like to purchase the Aguilar DB751 which is on here, if it goes I will probably withdraw this or would trade for a Hiwatt DR103 or 201 plus cash. Happy to help with delivery / meet up somewhere if that helps. No offers, price is firm. The Ampeg V-4B bass guitar amplifier head is a modern reissue of the legendary, much-loved original model that was first released in 1971. The Ampeg V-4B features all-valve pre- and power-amps, with the power amp producing 100 watts thanks to its compliment of four 6L6GC valves. The pre amp comes equipped with a pair of 12AX7 tubes and includes a driver section that is fitted with a single 12AX7 and a single 12AU7 valve. The pre amp also features a three-band EQ with Ultra Hi/Lo switches and a three-position rocker switch that selects the mid tone frequency. To give the Ampeg V-4B a more modern edge, it comes equipped with a -15dB input for use with active instruments, an integrated balanced DI output and multiple speaker outputs.
  15. I've spent some time yesterday and today, carefully commissioning the amp. I found a couple of screen grid connections that had somehow escaped soldering, so fixed that. The amp is working, in the sense that it produces output but I need to tweak the bias circuit as at present it's way too hot (over 200% of rated dissipation), even on the lowest pot setting and 180V mains supply. The over-hot bias is likely responsible for the hum I'm hearing (regardless of control positions). There is no audible oscillation when I raise the master volume, so the phase of the NFB connection is correct. I also used my oscilloscope to check for oscillation outside the audible range, and again there's nothing. I've done enough for today. Working on amps into the evening really messes up my sleep! A bit more work over the weekend and I'll be there.
  16. I had forgotten to add the weight. Using travel scales it comes in at a light 3.3kg. It is a hollow body ( no centre block like most Gibson derivatives) but the body is quite large.
  17. The classic, I think it is called. P1.
  18. My old one. It has to be said though, whomever decorated this rehearsal room in Sainsbury's colours needs to be humanely destroyed.
  19. Mesa and Boogie….?
