    Hi Clarky The guitarist in my band is looking for one of these. I'll double check with him and get back to you asap. Cheers Gareth

    Makes me feel very nostalgic, as I had one of these are my first "proper" amps back in what, 89? They are the business, and that price is a steal.

    [quote name='philw' timestamp='1351507014' post='1851799'] Somebody is going to get a ridiculous bargain. [/quote] No kidding!

    [quote name='lawriemacmillan' timestamp='1351298512' post='1849963'] I',m thinking of putting tapewounds on it [/quote] Yes! La Bella black nylons would be lovely on this. So tempted by this..... Cheers Gareth

    Maybe it's modded? Who would bother to copy an Overwater? Pretty sure that Laurence from OW (Bassadder here on BC IIRC) would know the skinny.

    Looks okay to me, but why not ask the seller for the serial number, and then email OW to verify?

    The LB cabs were made in the UK and had neo drivers whereas the VS cabs are made in China. The LB212 was a far superior cab to the two VS112 cabs I owned briefly, plus the LB series are much lighter.

    Mid range snarl? Not sure about the J pickup but that sounds like the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder SPB3 for the P position!

    Just heard the completion date for my VT5 has been put back two weeks

    [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1351242783' post='1849066'] ^^ I don't think shipping to Norway would be economical though ^^ Nice bit of kit if you're local [/quote] Ah, I'd missed that

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1351242164' post='1849051'] And there`s a feeler in the for sale section about an LB. [/quote] And the matching LB212 cab. A match made in heaven......

    MY LB30 was a superb amp, the tone was just wonderful. It is the only amp I really regret selling

    [b][color=#000000]1 x "Heads Up" strap [/color][/b] Basically, this is a 2.75" wide strap that is counterbalanced with lead weights to stop neck dive. It really works, I just have no need for it any more.

    This bass is now withdrawn.

    [quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1350679756' post='1842352'] I don't suppose there's anyone here in or near London with one of these (4 or 5 string, Alder or Ash body) who'd be able to meet up somewhere for me to try out ? I feel virtually ready to order one but have never played one, so I'm a bit hesitant. Please PM me if you think you could help. [/quote] My VT5 (that's a PJ to you and me) will be landing in London in two weeks Andy. More than happy to meet somewhere if you fancy giving it a workout.

    The "official" setup is two ECC83 for the preamp (the two valves next to each other), with a single ECC82 as the driver.

    [quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1350480748' post='1839449'] Ok, I removed the hood from the little sucker... and found a few strange things. The two preamp tubes at the left side are two 12AX7 while the last one (right side) is a 12AU7. [/quote] 12AX7 is the US code for the European code ECC83, likewiswe 12AU7 is an ECC82.

    La Bella now make flats that are suitable for through-body stringing.

    I didn't order a tinted neck with my VT5... didn't realise I could..... hope it doesn't look too weird with the hardcore aging!

    [quote name='alstocko' timestamp='1350312761' post='1837128'] First day of the Lakkies, great so far! [/quote] How do they compare to the La Bellas, both in terms of feel (i.e. smooth, rough to the touch?) and tension?
  25. franzbassist
    I would take one if someone would buy my second NY151RJ, but sadly no takers
