Beautiful that buddy, got nothing you’re after trade wise I’m afraid

The IMA patches are very good. GLWTS man

Ampeg V4B Reissue 100w Valve Amp. In great condition and always kept in the Ampeg Cover sleeve. Only 6 months old and very light use, gigged it a few times and it's excellent. This is beautifully paired with a matching Ampeg SVT 212A. They both have almost brand new Ampeg Soft Covers too. Only selling as I use my new Barefaced 310 which is magnificent and I would like to purchase the Aguilar DB751 which is on here, if it goes I will probably withdraw this or would trade for a Hiwatt DR103 or 201 plus cash. Happy to help with delivery / meet up somewhere if that helps. No offers, price is firm.

The Ampeg V-4B bass guitar amplifier head is a modern reissue of the legendary, much-loved original model that was first released in 1971.

The Ampeg V-4B features all-valve pre- and power-amps, with the power amp producing 100 watts thanks to its compliment of four 6L6GC valves. The pre amp comes equipped with a pair of 12AX7 tubes and includes a driver section that is fitted with a single 12AX7 and a single 12AU7 valve. The pre amp also features a three-band EQ with Ultra Hi/Lo switches and a three-position rocker switch that selects the mid tone frequency.

To give the Ampeg V-4B a more modern edge, it comes equipped with a -15dB input for use with active instruments, an integrated balanced DI output and multiple speaker outputs.

Oh, I was taking to you all yesterday (mainly Paul) and didn't realise you were connected to BC (I was the guy playing the pre EB blonde Stingray)...! 

 

Everyone is connected via Basschat in one way or another 🤣

What a bloody brilliant show, thanks again to @AndyTravis for the mega help and @LukeFRC for bringing some apple shaped sustenance. I can't promise to bring such high profile 'rock stars' to every show but Andy will always be there! Wonder who I can get to come to the London shindig in October 🤔

VJ from Kaisers is a super cool cat and top guy, bought a bass from me during covid times and sorted me out tickets and backstage beers to after shows too, and JMJ I've chatted too for years about weird and wonderful basses. and the stars aligned to get him to rock up to a Village Hall in the outskirts of Leeds! Weird how things work out. He's coming to the studio at the weekend too. 

Just back from a mega old valve amp collection to Wales. Well played everyone!

Yeah it was pretty cool, such a great guy and a fairly epic bassist too, thanks for popping in buddy

Very pretty thing

I will be down at the Leeds/Bradford Guitar Show this Sunday with Vintage Bass Room, assisted by the quite magnificent @AndyTravis so if any of the Basschat massive are local and at a loose end, come and give us a shout and try some of the plethora of basses im bringing down. Should be good fun and if the start align theres going to be one hell of a Bassist popping into the stand for a bit too. Its not a huge show but should be worth a pottle around and its only 7 quid.

Some of the info below -

Cheers Paul, I did get an HX Stomp but it is the XL and I am now wondering if I need all of the extra switches (and size) or if a regular Stomp would suit better! 

 

  

Basic Stomp is the way tbh mate. It’s just does everything and if you ever need more buttons you can add them, but I don’t reckon you will

@warwickhunt ? Did you get sorted yet

Holy crap, thats a looker 😍

Looks absolutely class and Jon has built a couple of basses for me in the past, they were outstanding and both still going/gigging well

@hiram.k.hackenbacker was looking for one I think?

Is the Anagram a better option than a used Quad Cortex which is perhaps 2 to 300 quid more?

Doesn't look like it atm. Im pretty new to the QC and im blown away at what it will do. Lots of compliments from sound techs and crowd about the sound too. Id like to try the Anagram but think its a year or 2 away from being a real competitor to the QC
