  1. A 200 watt version of this would suit me fine. The 19'' width sounds perfect too. looking forward to seeing how this all works out.
  2. Just turn the knobs until it sounds good to you. It's the best way to get a sound that you like.
  3. My old Marshall VBA was 400 watts and the power was ridiculous plus expensive to re valve . 200 watts valve power would be much more useable and I'd be more than happy to gig with that .
  4. You'll probably find that these old trace heads sound better than many micros. As has been said , they aren't that heavy at all. I remember the days when all we cared about was the sound an amp made , nowadays first thing many care about is the weight !! Anyway 60 quid for this ? If you don't buy it then I will !
  5. Good amps those , should be perfect for you connected to a decent cab.
  6. There wasn't anything wrong with my Streamliner so to speak and I used it for 2.5 years with no trouble at all. I just started using my older non class D amps again and decided I liked the sound of them better. Streamliner is still a good amp though.
  7. You need a bigger amp. The LB30 isn't really meant for loud gigs to be honest.
  8. [quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1394227289' post='2389440'] Did I just spot a guy with a Squier bass in the studio? [/quote]goes to show there's no need for a fancy 6 string bass with wonky frets to groove with funk and soul !
  9. Sounds good as long as you like distortion. Interested to find out if it does loud and clean too.
  10. The more bells and whistles means more stuff to go wrong. Any amp with a control called Kosmos and lights that you can change the colour of is not for me.
  11. I'm not that impressed with the lightweight heads , the older heavier amps just sound and feel better to me . Some of the newer light cabs are great though.
  12. I've got the 212MNT and it's superb. Big sound and really even over it's frequency range. Well recommended.
  13. Just get a p bass , an ampeg and be done with it !!
  14. Work to the strengths of the vocals.Turn everything down until the vocals are loud and clear enough without feedback otherwise it all becomes a volume war and sounds a distorted mess out front. In those type of halls sometimes the only way to make it work is to use less volume not more.
  15. I did a Christmas tv special recorded in May a few years ago. A very strange experience indeed !!
  16. I compared the vanderkley to the hd212 berg and the genz cabs and bought the vanderkley. Your taste might be different though so you really need to try before you buy.
  17. I've got the vanderkley and It's superb. Plenty of everything with a very clear and balanced sound. Fantastic build quality too. Not compared it to the other cabs you mentioned though so I cant comment on them .
  18. Thats the sound and feel that lightweight heads don't produce isn't it ? There is something that valves and big power transformers do that cant be done by the class D stuff , very rich and musical. It might be heavy but It's worth it when you consider how long you will spend playing it compared to carrying it !
  19. Bump for a great amp , I bought the other one for sale on here , powerful and punchy to say the least !
  20. Ding ding ..round...Er.....I've lost count !!
  21. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1387095841' post='2308083'] how was the finish on them? [/quote] Not as smooth as the aubergine , a bit rough , looked like it was painted on. Surprisingly light though , also a one handed lift ...
  22. I could have done with that aubergine last night. Luckily had a couple of sweet potatoes as back up....phew !!
  23. Lots of interest in this but as yet no definate takers ...go on , you know you want to ....
  24. It's been very entertaining today , well done to everybody !!
