    I listed this for sale a few months back, got cold feet and withdrew it, but having not used it for almost 6-months I could use both the cash and the space As I said in the previous thread, describing this monster as a combo is like describing Live at Leeds as a gig, but both are technically correct! This to me is the dream unit for a studio where a classic but powerful all tube bass amp is needed, for a gigging player who doesn't mind humping around what is a pretty heavy unit (I keep the head in a separate case to reduce the weight), or for the home music room assuming you don't have neighbours...... Tone is glorious as you'd expect. Trade-wise hit me, I like Precisions and FLs 👍

    I struggled at first with my Bass 400+ for that very reason, i.e., I was using controls as if it were a standard hifi amp! There's a reason the amp is so iconic, and that is the eq, so I'm guessing it's well worth persisting with the tone controls on the 880D also. Of course, if anyone tries and fails, I'll be happy to take it off their hands given it's looking like a 3-month wait minimum 👍

    Again, do you not understand how this place works Jack?
  4. Beedster
    You'll regret it young man 🤔

    If it helps, it's an amp that is well worth trying, which you'll only know works or doesn't work if you do (no matter how experienced we all are, none of us have your ears/your expectations/your band), and which is getting harder to find as well as more and more costly when you do. Given i'm confident that whatever you pay for it at Bass Bros you'll get back if you decide to move it on, I'd snap it up 👍

    Despite what we may think, we rarely buy the best tool for the job, which is why Fender are where they are and G&L are where they are

    Sad but true

    Yamaha’s next buy?

    ....although he now plays wooden necks again...... (will be a great bass assuming it's what I think it is) 👍

    Could I take that please @Supernaut 🙏

    Spend the amp cash on a decent acoustically oriented DI e.g. EBS Stanley Clarke and go into the PA or if needed a powered cab, you’ll have far more options and with an acoustic some of them are life savers 👍

    The V4B is possibly the best combination of tone and versatility that Ampeg produced - it does lovely pre and power tube stress albeit at usable pub/club/venue volumes - in a unit that utterly defies the 100w designation 👍
  13. Beedster
    It's the modern way 👍

    Waits meets Springsteen, nice work 👌

    I totally agree, trust is a big part of choosing gear for me, which is why I’ve ended up with amps from only two brands, Mesa and Ashdown, and cabs by Mesa only. Both Andy at Mesa and Dave at Ashdown have given me great advice also 👍

    Came across this by chance and was thinking that if not you Andy, someone here should 👍

    I can't find the car thread but the immortal line that sticks with me is "Mate, your f***ing cab has broken my car.....". We got the 1516 in the back, were walking around to the front seats to get in when we heard an ominous crack from the suspension. The rest, as they say, is history 👍
  18. Beedster
    Here's the first, it still makes me laugh every time I think about it mate......
  19. Beedster
    Mesa and Boogie….?
  20. Beedster
    Damn, decided to go for the 800D given stock arrived in the UK today AND THEY’RE SOLD OUT ALREADY 😡
  21. Beedster
    I agree entirely 👍
  22. Beedster
    I must dig out my two 1516 stories, one in which it broke the singer’s car, the other in which it created its own horizon rendering it apparently invisible to the human eye 👍
  23. Beedster
    Now then, when a man who holds more Mesa stock than do Mesa buys a new Mesa unit we should all sit up and take notice 👍
  24. Beedster
    Wouldn't work, part of the tone was the direct result of the gravitational field that was itself the result of the mass of the cab
  25. Beedster
    Wow, I’ve been thinking about getting a 5/er Precision and they are few and fat between, and that is stunning 👍
