I played this with the last rock band I was with and always enjoyed it. Didn't use any effects but drove the preamp side of the amp quite hard, just clipping slightly.

You are certainly getting the tinkering/modding bug Richard. Looking forward to seeing the finished job.

[/quote] IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.......... DO NOT PANDER TO SINGERS This sort of thing just encourages their diva tendancies.

[quote name='Thunderpaws' timestamp='1393002501' post='2375186'] With my G&L my volume is at about 75%. Seems to work/sound better with my amp that way. Think it's fairly HOT. [/quote] I find the same when using my G&L. When I'm using a Fender P the volume tends to be on full but I do make adjustments with the tone setting.

Does Mr Chili have the oldest most vintage instrument on BC. Wow 1870.

Who needs sensible advice when GAS is calling?

Not gigged with either, although I have tried out a few Mark Bass amps and have been impressed by all of them. If the Ampeg is giving you the sound you like and is reliable, may be save yourself the expense. If you just fancy an upgrade, then hope you enjoy

A very enjoyable afternoon tea time read, thanks Tim. The bass player in the That'll be the Day show was using one for a good few numbers. It sounded impressively good.

Mr Discreet's recommendation is a good one John. A while back now, I finally got cheesed off enough to ditch IE, went with Google chrome. It was a good move

Richard, sorry to hear this. Hope you get sorted pronto.

Well done Seashell, happy days.

Click on the link Tim, you will have fun. Lozz there was a whole lot of pretty impressive instrument swapping going on last night.

That does have a pleasing feel and groove. Not my usual sort of thing but I enjoyed, so thanks

Welcome aboard. This site is one I've used for parts http://www.axesrus.co.uk/ BC'er Kiogon does some splendidly good wiring kits,

They do use some lovely looking timber. Love the headstock design as well.

Anyone seen it, not the film with David Essex but the travelling show? Wasn't sure that I much fancied it but my good wife got us some tickets and told me not to be a miserable git. Ended up having a thoroughly enjoyable evening, some great muscianship from a talented, versatile bunch, playing a bit of everything, from early rock 'n' roll, pop, rock, disco, motown, glam. Even a Chas 'n' Dave parody. Some nice basses used during the evening and very tasty bass playing. Anyway, recommended. Next time it visits these parts, we will be booking tickets.

Think I would be tempted to replace the blown speaker, assuming that is the only fault and then get an extension cab. Maybe a 1 x 15". Giving you a nice powerful rig. Back in the days when I could lift the kit I had a Trace combo. It was good but always seemed to lack a little something, until I added an extension cab, which really did the trick. I'm sure I would still be using it now, if it hadn't been necessary for me to go all lightweight.

Very interesting Chris, I will certainly be tuning in.
