I never noticed that, I’ll take a look 👍

Welcome D 👍

You become a mentor , like mr Miyagi 😁

Welcome K 👍

Looking at the fingerboard I’d guess the truss rod isn’t good

One of Ampeg’s suggestions is the SVT-15E , has anyone tried this cab

Thanks BA, I nearly bought your one, too much low end isn’t possible for me 😁, I’m edging towards the one you had , I’ve emailed ampeg for recommendations

Scroll to the left gives you the 2012 colours , I think more were added later https://www.chorder.com/electric-bass-guitars/fender/2012-american-standard-jazz-bass-8784

Ampeg V4-B, it’s quite beastly

What would be it’s value if it was fixed up

I’ve found exactly the same with my 1024, I was playing my US jazz and left all the amp settings the same , the 1024 was quite a bit louder and considerably deeper on the bass front, I wouldn’t say it was better, just different 🙂

Omg how cool is this, none for sale though

Time for an Errol track

Thanks mr P , I’ll take a look 👍

Thanks JL👍, very informative, so I’ve just ruled out the HE, I’ve no use for a tweeter 🙂

I’ve just got an ampeg V4-B amp and I’d like to pair it with an ampeg 115 cab, the 3 main ones I think are PF 115 LF PF 115 HE SVT 15 E but I believe there’s others, I’m using my Markbass ny 115 at the moment which I like , but I fancy trying an ampeg to match, what’s the differences and will I still get nice deep lows for reggae and dub 🙂

I’ve found labella flats break in fairly quickly , I’ve had them more or less since I started , but the fender ones I tried once seem to take ages before they started to feel any good ,and they had a higher tension, which might not be a good idea on a stingray as they would be stiff at the bridge

Was they new flats, only some can feel tacky out of the packet but once they are played in they are silky smooth, maybe buy a lightly used set from here, they come up quite often 🙂

Starting the day with Peter Broggs

Sounds good, I’m feeling the urge to try this on something 😁

Nice job stub, it looks so much better
