  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. This is the best rig I've ever had, love it.
  4. 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.
  5. This thread has taken an unexpected turn......😎
  6. Are we still talking about strings here.....?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. It's designed to sound like a quality valve DI , has some great eq , gain and pad settings too.
  10. 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
  11. Thrashing the crap out of any amp probably isn't the best thing to do...just saying!
  12. I've had the RB112 for a while now and it's been flawless both at home and at band rehearsal.
  13. Keep the V4B the Abm and the 212SVT and sell the rest.
  14. PA support is your best option here..the V4B will work in gigs larger than you think.
  15. Just rock that thing 🤘😎🤘
  16. MV up 3 quarters and adjust gain for volume usually at gigs. Less MV at home of course. There's no right or wrong, just personal preference.
  17. The Ampeg pre amp is really simple but effective and makes perfect sense to me. Like you say , it just works. I don't think you could make that amp sound bad , just dial in what sounds good to you and enjoy it.
  18. The Fender and Ampeg combination is a classic sound!
  19. I'm glad you like it...you made a great choice 🤘
  20. Last couple of gigs I had the master at 3 o'clock (3 quarters up) and gain at about 10 o'clock. I cut the bass slightly, boosted mids (800) and slight treble boost...this was pretty loud for a mid sized room , punchy and quite clean. I always use the gain to set the overall volume level.
  21. That's a perfect combination, enjoy 🤘
  22. I have the V4B and 212AV cab. This rig is plenty powerful enough for gigging with a rock band. I played a medium sized room last week, drums etc were through the pa but my bass wasn't. Really punchy and got loads of positive comments about how it sounded out front. Best sounding rig I've ever had.
  23. Looks pretty good , but the lack of mid control on the Ampeg side doesn't make sense to me , as that's where a lot of classic SVT tones can be dialled in. I would rather just have the Ampeg and Marshall options with their own eq sections and not bother with the high gain part. Does look interesting though.
