I had a B9 briefly, the sounds were good but I didn't get on well with it as it glitched and didn't trigger well for me—which was probably down to my sloppy technique. I found the Boss SY-1 works much better for me and does the organ thing very well. The boss can also do the hold/freeze thing by holding down the footswitch to hold the current note(s)

I have one of these which I use with a Mars bar sized 10,000mAh rechargable USB powerpack https://www.amazon.co.uk/Voltage-Converter-Behringer-Harmonix-Electronic/dp/B09PD7PKBM This system can power a small pedalboard of five 9v pedals for several hours without using much charge but unfortunately it doesn't do 12V.

My 'B-Stock' ABM EVO IV 600 was delivered today. I've given it the once-over and despite it costing well below half the RRP, it is in near-pristine condition, it was just lacking the original packaging & manual. I have registered it with Ashdown so it has a five year warranty (nice). To help keep it looking good I have ordered a roqsolid cover. I connected the ABM to my Schroeder 1212L and plugged in one of my thunderbird vintage pros, and once I worked out what all the knobs do I can see why these amps are so well regarded. I even like the built-in compressor & valve drive.

If you're cool enough to carry it off, get an epiphone vintage pro thunderbird. If not get a Jazz.

I can tell who replied after only reading the thread title, rather than the whole post.

The transformation of the Hartke looks fantastic. I want to be rid of the fuzzy rat rur from my Schroeder 1212L, but I'm not sure I will have the patience to see the project through and will end up with a half stripped cab and loads of bits & pieces of hardware scattered about the place which the missus will attempt to tidy up and several bits will go missing.

That's one of the things Epiphone fixed on the wonderful Vintage pro/60s Thunderbird bass. The original 60s Gibson ones had the socket on the face of the bass but its on the edge for the Epi.

Is there any feature or element of your gear that you put up with despite being happy with the other aspects of the gear—due to it being a relatively minor quibble or the expense of replacing/upgrading the gear outweighing the thing you dislike? My personal dislike is the ‘fuzzy rat fur’ on my Schroeder 1212L cabinet. It just looks tatty from being scuffed at the edges and attracting dust and lint. Tolex always looks much smarter.
