  1. I would have stared at your pics for hours as a young lad mate....theyre the epitome of proper gear porn! Lovely rig...if only l was 40 years younger😢
  2. Don't forget the bass legend that is Jimmy Lea of Slade!
  3. Never played through one but seem to have great reviews...whats not to like? Glwts
  4. I tried the the 1 o'clock input setting...bass slightly rolled off from centre and treble at 1 o'clock, contour off and no clip light even at very high volume settings and it sounded great...l just love the r400 amp its simply fantastic!
  5. I can personally testify to bags of power and tone for any gig. I use it with 2 x super compacts and will blow the first 3 rows away if required. A 4 ohm cab stated earlier would have same desired effect, no problem. Best amp l have ever used and after 50 years of playing lve used a lot.
  6. Aren't heat sinks apparently made of aluminium though? Good ability to move heat...thermal conductivity etc but only half that of copper. That would be a lot heavier and much more expensive.....
  7. Yeah l think the same....you realise this guy properly knows what he's doing.
  8. Heart says YES.......back says NO.. Great amps for sure, used them all through the 80's. For any young uns out there who don't mind a bit of a lift then these amps are among the best. Glwts bud👍
  9. Thats great mate, thanks for digging that out from the archives! It begs the question though....why put the light on the front panel in the first place if only to confuse us bass playing mortals😄
  10. The MM bass controls are always flat. But l will definitely use the gain control at 1 ish. The sound isn't distorted so it will probably be fine. And get back to you all. Thank you all for your imput👍👍
  11. These are the settings l used last weekend Dave...
  12. Cheers mate...it always sounds great tbh. I noticed it coming on a a lot during an outside gig this weekend. I was thinking of calling Watford valves to see if they had lower gain pre valves than the electro harmonix that are fitted.
  13. Now then Handbox brothers, l think l need some advice...my R400 has started clipping. The clip warning light comes on intermitently when l'm using my Barefaced sc's by themselves and together. Ive tried gain up, main volume down and gain down main up but it still comes on on a regular basis...any ideas please? Could it be the pre amp vales are failing? Or am l just pushing it too hard? My main gigging bass is a musicman stingray. Its a 2019 model and is used on a regular basis. Any suggestions would be helpful...thanks in advance.
  14. A brilliant review of a very poor bass amp!
  15. Just to confirm that these amps are the best l have ever used after playing through most amps over my 50 year career. They sound absolutely sublime and they are loud if required. Cant believe this beauty is still here. Glwts bud.
  16. I think he put the extra O in so as to abbreviate 'Oh what a pile of shite' 😂
  17. I had a Carlsbro Stingray head....hated it so much l purposely left it at a gig in Newcastle.
  18. A beautuful thing.....would look lovely on my log burner😁

I would have killed for one of these back in the day!
  20. Never heard a Spector, never played a Spector but if it sounds as good as it looks its a great price! Glwts bud.
