Ampeg got everything right with the V4b, lovely amp.

Other people at gigs.

Any bass with more than 4 strings isn't a bass and should be banned from being advertised as such. Wonky frets...pointless and trendy, much like pointy headstocks (i had 2 of those) Class D amps..(I have 2 of those) People who expect you to play for free on an outdoors "stage" that is basically a shelf. Darkglass...just because... I'll stop now as I can feel my blood boiling...

There's not a bad sound in that amp, just a case of choosing what works best for you. Enjoy!

Glad you like it. Fantastic amp 🤘😎🤘

I tend to back off bass slightly, small boost of 800 and treble. Sounds great with a Jazz or Precision.

Here's a pic of mine, just because it looks cool 😎

The reissue V4b and 212av cab is one of the best rigs you can get. Find one, buy it and don't look back.

Cioks DC7 would also do the job.

They should have billed it as a tribute show with an appearance from Ozzy. Everyone would have known what to expect.

Bit of a tough sell when they're not sure exactly how much it will be, what it will look like or when it will be available.

I've had mine for over 4 years and not opened it up or changed anything. Not had the need or a problem with it.

I think of the sound from this rig as having no gaps in it...no annoying frequencies that you can't dial out and just very musical wherever you set the controls. I don't think there's a bad sound in that amp..or at least I've not found one yet!

This is the best rig I've ever had, love it.

I've had a couple of sets that sounded slightly unbalanced at first, but they quickly settled in after playing. My most recent set were good straight from the pack though.

This thread has taken an unexpected turn......😎

Are we still talking about strings here.....?

TI flats are my favourite strings. Once you have used them for a while it's hard to enjoy playing anything else! I liked the LTF strings also, but were a bit too mellow for me. TI's just seem to work so well with my Jazz and Precision basses , they have a certain mid range thing going on that sits so well in a mix.

https://reverb.com/uk/item/42144898-jt-amplification-alpha-direct-box-standard I can recommend the JT Alpha Di. I've had mine a while now and I wouldn't be without it now. Great bit of kit.

It's designed to sound like a quality valve DI , has some great eq , gain and pad settings too.

Save yourself some money and get one of these instead. Great bit of kit and mine arrived in about 10 days from what I remember. https://reverb.com/uk/item/42144898-jt-amplification-alpha-direct-box-standard

No sliders please...thanks!

Thrashing the crap out of any amp probably isn't the best thing to do...just saying!

I've had the RB112 for a while now and it's been flawless both at home and at band rehearsal.

Alan Lancaster's basses were auctioned off by Bonhams not so long ago.
