Reggaebass

I checked my Ampeg manual and I’ll continue to use mine , here’s what it says, STANDBYSWITCH:Pressthetopof the switch to turn the Standby mode on. The Standby mode allows the tubes to warm, or remain warm, without high voltage being applied to them, which helps to extend tube life. This switch should be OFF when first turning the amplifier on. Allow the unit to warm up for at least 60 seconds before switching the Standby to the ON position. During short periods of non-use, the amp should be put into Standby mode.

Welcome 👍

If I’m changing basses or occasionally plugging in pedals I use the standby switch while doing this, does anyone else do this, or do you just plug things in and out without using standby

I did a little bit of digging and on a reggae forum I visit it says the US version of the cd , Toots & The Maytals ‎– Funky Kingston / In The Dark, which I think was released in 2003 is decent quality ,possibly about the best you might get, it was mastered by Gavin Lurssen, I haven’t heard it but it might be worth looking into myke , I had a quick look on discogs and it’s there

I’ve never had that but I have seen it, apparently some foam degrades into a sticky tar like substance and some just go rock solid, looks like it cleaned up ok, was it quite a task Brian or did it come off easily

Can’t resist blasting this now and again

Welcome Tim 👍

I’m liking this , Baco music put out some great tunes

My ampeg has no fan, I always switch to standby for a minute or so before turning off

Just bought Stuart’s RM amp bag, he’s a pleasure to deal with and very quick delivery , cheers Stuart, Tony 👍

Welcome JC 👍

I thought I’d seen him in KFC 😁

Great strings, I’ve got about 7 basses with them and they get better with time too

I’ve got the elite jazz and they are definitely very good, I normally play US jazzes but the elite feels just one step better than any I have, and they are worth the extra money imo, the only reason I didn’t get an ultra was I liked the truss rod wheel on mine , I believe they upgraded the noiseless pickups on the ultra and maybe the preamp, apart from that I couldn’t see much difference

Nice tune, 1979 old style, when the right time come

Top job 👍

Welcome Wolfram 👍

I’ve had the same audience many times 😁

For anyone who doesn’t like P basses or slap, this might sway you , 73 P , full version , Freddie makes it look so easy

That’s really annoying when they don’t update a website, there’s a 74 jazz on Bassbros, not sure if you’ve seen it mr C

Loving that, i might have to invest in that, I bought Black Sounds of Freedom vinyl back in around 1981, I’ve still got it somewhere, I think Love crisis was out before that, great album
