Good call, although the OP is situated in Georgia USA so I thought Peavey heads may be more easily
available there.
👍

I'm not in the market for an amp head, but if I were, I'd be all over the Ashdown Mag400 in the for sale section.

The Yamaha EMX512SC is 500 watts x2 into 4 ohms according to Yamaha.
Whether that is RMS is anybody’s guess, but great bit of kit whatever.
Agreed. I've used one for... a long time.
FOH on one channel, monitors on the other - done the job for the last 15 years at least.

Good point, I know a good few guitarists who bought Tokai Love Rocks as backup to their Gibson Les Pauls only to decide the Tokai was better.
No first hand experience of their basses, but I've owned a Tokai Love Rock (Les Paul) and one of their Strat copies from the 80's (I think it had something cheesey like "oldies but goldies" on the headstock) and both were fabulous guitars.
I do have a Vintage (brand) P bass - possibly a VB4, not sure - and it's... OK. Decent Wilkinson hardware - nothing to get excited about, but I'd happily gig with it.

In. I've not bought anything since 2014 IIRC, and I'm OK for strings so don't see that changing any time soon.

Yamaha is always the answer, whatever the question 😏

I have, on occasion and depending on the design of the jack, been able to pull a tiny contact file, from my Strowger days, between the contacts.
For a clean barrel & t/r contacts, a squirt of Servisol on a cotton bud is my preference.

It's a bit difficult to explain. It's not the tip or ring where a jack would touch. It's a set of contacts that break when the jack is inserted. I'll try a get a pic of the type of socket used.
No need, I know. Maybe read my post again?

The effects loop have make/break jacks. If you don't use them the contacts, which are normally made, can oxidize and go high resistance causing a loss of signal.
Yes, that's exactly my point...

How does dirt/oxidisation on the barrel (or ring/tip contacts) of a jack socket cause problems if there's normally nothing plugged in to it?
More likely the problem's on the (normally made) switching contacts, and breaking them a few times by inserting a jack plug cleans the contacts sufficiently to get rid of the problem. No gloop squirting required - although I guess some of it may find its way to where it's really needed.

I'd give the WD40 variant a go, but I've had the same can of Servisol for probably 20 years, and at this rate it'll outlive me.
Me too. Same with my wee bottle of Dr Ducks.

Is anyone else on the Nextdoor app? It's a bit like local Facebook groups, but for really nosy people. Most of the posts on it seem to be Does anyone know why the police helicopter is out tonight? as well as Does anyone know this guy (Ring doorbell footage attached)? He was trying my backdoor last night. or Please stop letting your dogs shite on my driveway.
Followed by "hope your ok hun"?

I've always found PMT in Cambridge very accommodating.
Have a look on their website for anything that takes your fancy, then ring to confirm they've got it in stock?
(They're also in Norwich & Romford)

Does anybody have any experience of G4M gear?
I've got one of their 12 string acoustic guitars.
I returned the first one, which they swapped with no fuss.
The replacement's OK.

See if you can find the SPL data for it. It’ll show as dB per Metre.
More likely dB per Watt, at 1 meter...

Does anyone click through the individual forums to browse the topics anymore?
Yup.

I have 4 pairs laying around the house.
2 pairs of Sennheiser, a pair of Superlux, and a pair of Phillips which can be used either wired or wireless. I've no idea of the model no's. - I just grab whichever are most convenient.

Not used them myself, but I used to use a rehearsal place in Stevenage, and the guy that ran the place used - and spoke highly of - Mal at The Amp Workshop (also in Stevenage) for all of his repairs.

I was in the same position a few months back. Ended up giving it away through a local Facebook group.
We humped it out of the front door, expecting a van, but he pushed it up the footpath on its wheels...

Yep, and if you’re fumble-fingered or not got the specs on it’s easy to do it by mistake.Yup, I do similar on here all the time on my phone - go to tap a thread title, only to be presented with the OP's profile...

I used to have a red faced MAG400 combo. Got rid due to the weight.
I often wish I still had it - great amp.

Cut down combo for a cab?

Personally I wouldn't bother. Old school 15's (Ashdown/Trace/Peavey etc) can be had cheap, and would be more sellable than something that's been hacked about.
Just my opinion...
