I think the ones in yours look like I would expect... the way to tell is the nitro- if it is nitro then it's a top top top of the fender japan range - go for it! (though possibly the cap has been changed for an orange drop at some point.

:S is there that much difference between the circuit that his man could make and one other companies would make?

Plate reverb bit screwed to the back?

[quote name='mybass' timestamp='1347364605' post='1799772'] The question was for a 'guitar shield'..I would never use a bass one ! [/quote] ah makes sense- I did wonder, but though with this being a place where well, we talk about basses a fair bit don't we?

[quote name='Shonks' timestamp='1347316270' post='1799371'] sorry, not sure what your getting at.......what are you saying? what's wrong with writing for the Gooners? best paid job I ever had, I produced it too. I had the whole team in Wessex Studios, it was quite a day. Of course my car was the cheapest in the car park... [/quote] COYS!

so as a shop they have a certain duty to sell things in good electrical knick don't they? whats the bets they havn't had it serviced, and cannae give you any guarantee that it will work, I wonder how much the price would come down if you start asking about the state of the tubes and the warrantee.... ?

This may be a silly question.... Drummers are loud, put a screen round them and mic them up. they can play like Keith Moon and not drown out everyone else Valve bass amps sound better louder, run them somewhere with screens at the front (and back?) and mic them to get the fully saturated valve guitar sounds. A bass amp... in most cases not so volume dependent.... why not just turn it down?

Gutted..until With the same money I bought an early 90's stingray. [/quote] woo way to make the OP feel better!
