  1. Very useful list. Vanderkley ext112 cabs do have a tweeter! I have two of them.
  2. I've been using a VanderKleij 112EXT to my LMIII which proved quite sufficient for most gigs. Just for flexibility I added a second 112EXT. It's a perfect lightweight solution for me.
  3. Does changing the input selector make a difference?
  4. The Squire VM and CV series are certainly good quality instruments. From what I've heard and read the CV series are the best. I have a CV60 strat and it's a top guitar.
  5. In an active thread on this forum there is a discussion about a fair price for a 1972 Jazz. It is rated between 1750 and 2000 UK pounds. Still Fender has been "upgrading" the Jazzbass since. I love Fender basses and guitars but Fender's name changes don't impress me. The only improvement I see is in the production process, the use of CNC machines etc.
  6. Changing pups is a matter of personal preference. Both the Am.Std. and the Am.Pro don't NEED any upgrade. They are top notch instruments as they come which ofcourse one may expect for such a price.
  7. For what it's worth......I have a 2009 Am Std Jazz and a 2017 Am Pro Precission. Two different beasts ofcourse. The build quality is on par and so is the playability (considering different neck widths). The 2017 P pickup is somewhat hotter than the 2009 J pickups but again, two different beasts. The 2017 has fluted tuners and the 2009 doesn't .....it does not matter to me. Both basses stay in tune perfectly. If someone would have offered me a new Am Std P for a reduced price I would have bought it without a doubt. The main reason for Fenders name change is probably profit/marketing driven. Inspite of the newer Fender ranges people pay a fortune for much older instruments. They can't be much worse instruments than the latest models can they?
  8. I have no experience with F1 but I don't expect it to be much different from my LMIII which still makes me happy every week. It's small light and loud with plenty eq possibilities. 300 watts into one 112 (8 ohm) will probably be plenty for most venues (it is for me, I hardly use my second 112) I am not using Marbass cabs so I cannot comment on that.
  9. I'm using two VdK 112's for gigs in general. For rehearsal and practice and very often also for small gigs I only bring one 12" cab. So far they have never let me down. As mentioned above, having two separate 12's give you flexibility (but cost more).
  10. Nice lookin' bass! My only Squier experience sofar is with the CV60's strat I have and although I'm not really a guitar player I dare say it's a fantastic guitar on par with many Fenders.
  11. I prefer a genuine USA fender simply because I've been gazing at them since the early 60's when we couldn't afford them. But I could do any gig on a squier, no problem. I do own a Squier CV60 strat and it is a very decent guitar which can stand up to a Fender.
  12. I have a LMIII which works fine without any distorting but after switching it on it takes several seconds before I hear a click. Only then sound is processed to the speakers.
  13. I have two VdK 112 cabs and they sound fantastic! The red is not so bright as the above Custom Sound and to my taste gives them a classy look. Prices on mainland have not changed for quite some time.
  14. I wrote an email to Fender customer service and they sent me a mail back with the complete spec of my Fender Jazz Bass.
  15. Can't you check by serial number?
