police squad

absolutely blown away I'll spend more time with it this week. Plug the other cab in and see how do As you say it feels different, it's more dynamic and organic gigs coming up will need Mustang with flats (blues/rock gig) New wave/ ska / mod dep (4003 with rounds) P bass with flats Police gig 50s style P bass with rounds I know its going to smash the new wave gig with the 4003

This arrived this week at PS towers Ampeg V4B. It is simply incredible 100 watts. Simple to set up Absolute ampeg delight. I just didn't know this model existed or I would bought one ages ago It looks cool and isn't remotely back breaking at 18kg Gets its first Policed gig next week Then a blues/rock gig Then a ska/new wave gig

wowser wowser wowser words fail me on just how good it sounds bass flat mid about 10 o clock treble flat ultra bass in ultra hi in mid swith in the middle gain just on the edge with a mark bass club 1x15 cab with my 4003 it's amazing I didn't even spend that long on it and found the sound I have a couple of interesting gigs coming up in August so it'll get a proper work out truly fat

Im waiting for @walshy to have a look at his, the super dude that he is

I'm still thinking to stick with the ampeg sound. All the people that have the rig love it. So there must be something in their cab design that gives the classic sound I've tried the V4B thru a small Mark bass 1x15 and that ampeg sound and grind is there in spades so if their cab enhances the amp, so be it I think

Ill try a squirt of deoxit as suggested

Yes I'll try that. I have a can in the music room

Not clear enough picture to tell

Yep agreed I just tried it thru my mark bass cl115 Sounds epic with my HW4003

I haven't got the ampeg cab, only the V4B I have other cabs to use but I have these neos that I'd like to use

L serial is correct for 1964 veneer board also correct

it depends how tall it is I suppose

I never realised how complicated cab design could be I'm trying to save a bit of weight over the Ampeg SVT212 which is 30Kg and as stated in my original message, I have a couple of Eminence neos I'd like to find a home for

bloody switch! I have to press it in and out a few times otherwise it sort of cuts out/crackles Great amp though

I love the last bit The rage is quite a joy to behold!! brilliant My Andy Summers tele has a Jap fender body and a WD neck with a Fender logo

a Tele for all things there

600 quid. You get a discount on the tools too My luthier that I've always used has retired now, although he still does a few jobs for his mates (I have a neck reset that needs doing on my hofner) I have decided it can't be that hard I understand how to level frets and know that they have to be crowned after levelling. May as well learn to remove frets, plane the board and fit new ones etc you can buy tools that show you when the neck is dead straight, so you can start levelling etc Crimson guitars down Dorset way

I have done this too 2 x ebay necks and one from Aliexpress of the two I've fitted both nuts were cut well and they set up really well I'm going on a Crimson guitars course, to learn how to refret/ level and set up etc and will take them along to level the frets (but I don't think they need it, they play great) I've got some unknown bodies from an auction and used one. Turned out ok Bought Northwest guitars own brand tuners and bridge and a tonerider pickup, it gets gigged in the U2 tribute I'm in

I hope so. I've played thru a couple of full fat SVTs and loved them. I'll try and get plugged in later today and give it a whirl Any settings to start with?

Well it turned up this morning It's ex Demo but in great condition I might try it out this afternoon, when I get back from shopping er work!

I have an ampeg V4B incoming which I will use on gigs when I don't have to supply PA I's beena long time since I gigged on bass, with valves (Marshall superbass 50, many many moons ago)

if you're gonna feel dirty, a telecaster makes it worth it

yes mate will do I'll try and get some of it recorded

I'll try those settings, thanks Yes mainly pick player but occasionally I dip to the dark side and use fingers/thumb Should sound epic with my HW 4003. A mate of mine played me a track recorded with his Rik and the V4B, sounded huge

I actually have a Police gig end of next week, so it'll get a good thrashing then
