    Beautiful looking bass. Do the also have a good acoustic sound/ voloume?

    I've owned this amp from new and love the tone. However some years ago it developed a fault...the volume slowly " fizzled out" after playing for 20 mins or so...and the faded in and out of it's own accord. I took it to Surrey Amps, and they did a very thorough job servicing/ repairing it. The fault came back..they very graciously had another look, and could find nothing wrong with it. I hadn't used it for a while..plugged in again..and now...nothing. Curiously..in the past, the amo would sometimes leap into action, if I hit the strings hard with the palm of my hand. Does anyone know an Ampeg expert..? I'm out of touch with " new" mini amps..I tried a mini mark bass amp..and didn't like the tone. Is it time for a new amp? Are these old transistor amps inherently unreliable? Any suggestions welcome. If any of you are amp repair experts..fancy buying a wounded Ampeg? HELP!

    Has anyone compared the old & new Ibanez Affirma basses? Are there significant differences I quality, tone, spec? I've always wanted a fretless 4/5 But they're rare & expensive..was thinking of defretting a modern one...IF they're just as good as the old ones. Anybody?

    Gutted today, to discover that Burke Shelley passed away. A major influence on me as a young bassist..and huge Budgie fan. 😪😪

    Is this strung with a low B? If so hows the tension with the shorter scale?
  8. alembic1989
    Thanks for that Russ. I don’t suppose you ever remembered where the Nuax Sauron went?

    They look fantafabulous. Gotta ask though..assuming you’re tuning E-G. ….how do get over “ over slackness” that one might associate with shorter scales? Do you use heavier strings?

    That’s a lovely looking bass. Sounds lovely too…sweet playing. Are the controls V-V-T? Could you kindly explain what the “ push-pull parallel system” is please? Thanks.
