OMG this thread. Frankly I’m just glad Mesa is available again and we have an official customer service point in the UK. Will the Gibson Garage service bass amps too?

Hi fellow Sandbergers i need to change the strings on my used but new to me VM4. Tuning to drop C for doom project and the nut isn’t wide enough for 110 or 120 gauge. any filing tips lads so I don’t bork it? Not had to do this before.

It is SO MUCH FUN and the standalone fuzz is really excellent too. Highly recommend it if you can find one. Very usable and really looking forward to incorporating it into some tracks

New board. Still not 100% sure if the Sansamp will stay yet.

Ah found the magnet stuck bottom right. Mystery solved!

Hey all, am a pedal noob so bear with me. Picked up an Octabass on Reverb and the footswitch wasn’t disengaging/engaging anything. Took out the board and it looks like this - it’s definitely missing the rest of the switch right??

Super intrigued by these, especially for new doom project. Where did you pick your up from?

Thank you. Genre wise it’s very riff heavy - a lot of doubled runs with guitar and only one guitarist so needs to occupy space during the solos. More modern end of the genre too I’d say but with vintage vibes - similar to Green Lung. to be clear I’ve always hated p-basses 😂 hence why I’m not sure what to look at. G&Ls maybe or lakland/sadowsky??

Thanks! Definitely keen on practicality at this point and as few points of failure as possible. never played a ricky. Definitely want something lightweight with a thinner neck and as close to a ‘wick-esque action. We have some fairly quick runs.

Hi guys I think this might be the place to get the help I need. i’ve joined a doom band after ten or so years off from gigging and loving it but need to do a full gear reset. I was in thrash and punk bands before and have been a lifelong Warwick/SWR/David Eden guy but it’s not quite the right aesthetic, innit. Need a new bass and rig - using an Orange terror but not mad about it with a borrowed P-bass and a Bass Butler for distortion. Thanks for any help you guys can give me. I’ve been eyeing some G&Ls, vintage Peaveys and barefaced cabs so far. No idea where to go next.

I've got an old Quad IV and had exactly the same problem. These heads are very sensitive to cabs, and if it doesn't like the cab it's hooked up to for whatever reason then it will start cutting out regularly. My EBS cab was on its last legs and the amp techs couldn't find a thing wrong with the head. So I'd get the cab looked at. There's something going on there that doesn't agree with the 'wick.
