Who is excellent at repairing SS amps in North East?... Urgent. Not Cameron Electronic. After taking a look inside he didn't want to take it apart. Possible gig next Thursday could do with it back sharpish. Cheers Bren

Yak

Want.

Last year I just wanted more headroom for one band in particular, and after much thought, discussion and agonising I took the plunge with a GK Fusion 550 from Bassgear. Fantastic amp with all the edginess you could want but the versatility to dial it out if you wish. The SMX is now my 'home practice ' setup, except when I feel guilty and gig it as happily as before. Pondering a GK MB series as a compact practice /backup head.. [/quote] I think the GK will be the one for me. I've just set the Gallien Krueger model up on my Zoom B3. It sounds pretty good. Cheers

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1472849350' post='3124864'] Not sure an svt 3 pro would suit tbh. There a bit tame!, they do sound good though. I fancied one for a while and tried out a few. Bought an Bugera bvp 5500, a kind of clone of the ampeg, all valve front end etc, after seeing a thread on talkbass comparing the 2 side by side and build quality etc. The bvp 5500 does exactly the same as the 3 pro but actually does proper overdrive too and costs almost 1/5th the price of the ampeg. There cheap enough to give a try. [/quote] Cheers Twincam, they do look good value.

Three bands... Ghost/Signals - Baba Yaga - The Golden Age Of Nothing + DJ. Cheers 2elliot (The Golden Age Of Nothing)

Cheers thodrik. I thought it was older than that. I'll keep a look out in the for sale section for another. I understand how good the older TE gear is, I still own my 1225v which I bought new back in the early 90s. I was hoping another company would have something similar available new... just in case.

I've been using this head for the last few month and have to say it sounds great. It's the later Peavey head with all the bells and whistles. I use it with everything engaged. Drive, compression pre shape etc and it spits out a wonderful clanky crunch. As this head is getting on a bit I was wondering what else is available that could offer up a similar racket. I'm thinking maybe an Ampeg svt pro 3 but have yet to actually try one. I did have a Ashdown evo 111 but it didn't quite have the attack. I also own an Ashdown Ctm 100 but that's way to nice for my current requirements so will be for the chop if I can find a TE replacement. Any recommendations? Cheers

Great set up. How are you getting on with the aguilar head?

All of them more than once. That was many years ago, since my second wind I haven't snapped any,maybe I'm just not trying hard enough.

Hipshot Kickass looks interesting

That's cool bass!

All good tonight, loud and angry. The stage monitors v drum machine, well that's another story...

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1470864287' post='3109104'] If it booms on that hollow stage try turning it on its side (I know it doesn't have side feet but just to test). If that solves it then it is the output from the hybrid resonator causing the problem, if not it's just the usual powerful cab generating pressure by a hollow stage and causing stage resonance problem. [/quote] okay, I'll give that a try if required. Cheers
