Sorry the cab is 800w @ 4ohms
-
Hi. I'm getting into the pre/power game.
Only have one cab (ATM) @ 600w but would like to push it to the limit.
Not sure if this is a factor but needs to handle a lot (a lot) of fuzz and drive.
Pairing with ampeg pre.
Older sh stuff is fine by me -

what's in your zilla?
-
I think my ideal number of knobs is 6 - gain, vol, bass, mid, mid sweep, high. That's perfection for me - not sure if I've ever found this though.

Awesome - I think 70s Ps really have the best body shape.
-
I need them, thanks for reading.

embrace the mushroom rig!

If you want an old 'green russian' muff sound (imo, great for bass), go for a frederics effects green muff - http://www.fredric.co.uk/green-russian-sovtek-clone

this!!! great amps i had a mark iv and a vi back in the day, both awesome amps, if they can nail that in a lightweight format ill be all over it.

Maybe just me, but my mark iv IS a lightweight format! it's a dead easy 1-handed lift (though a bit lopsided...
Maybe it's because I'm a reformed GT200 and V4 owner... but the mk iv is just not that heavy. -
looking forward to buying these for £100 in 5 years time

Leon at Grizzly Guitars on Hackney Road... he's a master.

I have a '78 ... the last bass you'll ever own.

Cool, I guess I'll look out for offers.
Gumtree is fine, but there's just not the same reach (just shipped 1 item to Sweden and 1 to LA - struggled to sell either on gumtree). Plus the weirdo/d*ckhead/tim waster issue is just getting a bit much for me.
But I guess with eBay you do have resolution and paypal also gives you some cover for some things.
Just something I'll factor in next time I guess.
But still, 10% of postage - come on. -

And some users have a moan about the selling fees on BC. It's a total bargain.
[/quote]
It cost me ~£20 in paypal fees alone for ONE transaction of less than £400. -
Wow the fees are off the scale these days. It's been a while for me.
I knew about the 10% final price fee, but to pay 10% of the postage cost as well is outrageous! Shipped something to Sweden for £35 and had to pay eBay for the privilege.
And also got stung by paypal as well!
Lesson learned for sure - add about 20% to what I really want for the item... -
I still record with tubes though!
-
This is my main amp now. Sold all my tube stuff.
It feels light to me though! Compared to my old GT200 and ampeg V4 anyway, it's a 1 handed lift - total dream. -

During sound check last night I put the DI cable into the 'pre amp out' by accident (never did that before). It cuts out all sound to the cabinet.
Does this mean I can use the 'pre amp out' for DI recording without having a cabinet attached?
Always assumed it was a big no no, but's it's solid state, and if there's no power to the cabinet then is there no risk of damage to the head? -
delicious

For silent practise I recommend a vox amplug.
