indeed plus i could probs use it for smaller gigs/practices as it seemed pretty bloody loud!

tried one in mansons and im considering picking one up! as a practice amp for my room, as far as im aware its very close to the ampeg tone, maybe not as warm but not a bad tone and considering it was on 1 in mansons bloody loud i imagine! anyone have one? what are peoples views on the amp? andy

[quote name='Finbar' post='575757' date='Aug 20 2009, 04:33 PM']My back will go, heavy gear or not. So make the most of the time now! Though to be fair, I used to have a Marshall head that was a two man lift - this rack can be lifted in one hand and carried short distances. And my heavy 412 was replaced with a 1212L. So I guess I have gone lighter anyway [/quote] vba marshall by any chance those things are silly heavy! im looking into getting one of those skts but i want one with a surge protector built in? can you get em? andy

amp all fixed! was the kettle lead! who would have know, still buying the backup amp but im glad the ampeg not got a bigger problem. andy

[quote name='umcoo' post='571990' date='Aug 17 2009, 07:41 PM']How dirty can Fender Bassmans get? I've played vegashooker's 135 and it had a wonderful tone, but I can't recall if it was really driven hard. I'm throwing around the idea of a Bassman 70 or 100 and a Barefaced Compact so I can be loud enough for gigs, but get into power amp overdrive pretty easily. Thanks for all the suggestions already, by the way![/quote] the bassman gets pretty dirty! and its pretty darn loud! and my mate uses it thru an old fender (i think) 115 cab. andy

[quote name='umph' post='571252' date='Aug 17 2009, 12:06 AM']the one you had will be in a completely different league to the new ones, the old matamp ones are completely different amps[/quote] ah yes of course mine was hand wired! looked so cool when i looked inside once! and it was number 17 of 17! shame i couldn't afford to keep it. andy

the oranges are wicked, can't comment on the 200b but i owned a 140b for a bit and it sounded awesome when cranked no need for distortion at all! i can only imagine the 200b is the same but louder? also im using a TE v4 at the mo, while my peg in for repair and that sounds really nice to thru my 610hlf. and i know someone with a fender bassman 100 which sounds killer! andy

took it to mansons today, they're leaving it on in the store all day, but he thinks its maybe a faulty kettle lead which is good. im still not convinced tho!? the amps wicked but ive only had it 6 months, and it already had to go in, im getting a very nice backup amp in the next to months and if i like it i may well get rid of the pro-6, as its really not as loud as they make out! andy
