I love my VBA400!!! more power than I have sticks to shake at it .
I’ve always fancied one. Amazing bang for buck secondhand. My Laney Tube 400 has the same 8xKT88 layout but very different front end.
How versatile is the VBA?

The biggest one I've personally played through is this 2 X 500 watt build a friend of mine did:
That’s absolute bonkers!
What’s the set up? Master/slave?

I have a pair of as-new EMG 35 HZ soap bar pickups for sale.
These are completely intact and were removed from a brand new bass professionally. They’ve never seen any active duty and are immaculate.
Postage to standard UK included. Highlands, Islands etc extra.

I picked up an as-new premium finish blueburst (that's the one with the blue burst on the back rather than the black) L2000 for £270 quid on ebay, put an old East MMSR 3-band preamp in it, set it up, sanded the neck, rolled the edges and it's a monster rock machine and as good a tool bass as any.

Being in a ciovers band, this will be a fabulous and much-used resource. Many thanks for the offer.

Hipshots gone.
1 set of Schallers left and also the Vintage Yamaha ones.
-
At £900 starting bid and local collection I reckon that'll be around for a while.

Ashdown CTM400. Licked my Mesa 400 into next week .
Should that be BTA400?
At £3,249 it makes the Laney Tube 400 look like an absolute bargain at £1399! Great EQ on the Laney too.

What’s the highest power all-valve bass guitar specific monster out there?
We have the VBA400, Laney Tube 400, Mesa Strategy 8:88, Mesa 400+, Trace Elliott V8 and a Matamp 8 x KT88 one-off made for Julian Cope.
is there anything bigger?
What else is there that equals or crushes these leviathans?

Full valve head in a MB TTE size box and I’d be seriously tempted!
Sounds like what you really need is a high protein diet and a weight-lifting regime. Some things don’t come easy ;-)

Ooooh, now that's more like it! Wonder if he'd build one?
He will do pretty much whatever you want...

What have you ordered?

No problems here. An excellent buyer. Great comms and prompt payment. Highly recommended.

How heavy is the body?
or, how heavy is the whole bass? That’ll tell us what we need to know

Thought so. That Taranis looks like a monster, and not too far from us as well.
The Taranis is amazing however if I was having another I’d go for 6 (300w) or 8 (400w) KT88s.

1. I didn't like the Dean at all. Neck is ludicrously wide.
2. I don't subscribe to the idea that an 8 is easier to get around because of the lesser number of strings. Set up well it doesn't matter.
The Schecter 8 I've played has a normal (40mm nut width) C shape neck and for me was much faster to play than my Dean, which I agree has a beast of a neck.
The Dean is very affordable, though but I'm yet to try anything slimmer. It would be interesting to see how I got on with a Hamer or similar.

but they just don’t resonate(!) with me like a Hamer

That’s why they don’t resonate the same.

Please tell me why I should avoid Ashdown amps? (aka why Ashdown are just great!)
in Amps and Cabs

I’be played a Root Master at Pirate Studios in Cheltenham and the guys in the band kept saying how good it sounded. I was running my board with a DHA preamp into the FX return and bypassing the Ashdown pre.
