This goes down as a very tentative feeler. This is without doubt the best sounding amp I have ever played through, I've played three medium sized venues with ease with this, however the last time I took it out it got a little dink on a corner (actually a tiny dink which you can see just above the A on Ampeg), but it was enough to make me leave this in my front room as a rather extravagant practice amp! It's not the easiest thing to transport, in fact it's rather awkward, there are metal studs on the back suggesting that you can lay it down however I don't like the amount of pressure it puts on the head brackets so always stand it up in the car. I would consider a trade for a Mesa boogie walkabout which is something I'd feel happier gigging with, with cash my way, let me know.

I found that I would need the eq so that the bass was about 3 o'clock and treble at 1 o'clock for a nice fat sound.

Is there a reason for the apparent dislike for active basses...
chrisanthony1211 replied to Rocker's topic in Bass Guitars
I've had plenty of active basses in my time but only have passive at the moment, nothing wrong with active basses but i also find that I spend all my time knob twiddling, always thinking I can improve my sound, drives me crackers. With a P bass I can just roll forwards or backwards with the amp set at neutral and job done, I'm happy... -

I find that the best way to manage GAS is to keep buying new gear, its strange how once I've bought something I no longer want it !

I bought some FS's yesterday and my first impression is that they give a bit of a phatter sound.....there's a little more tension, which I quite like, so a little tweak of the truss was required, but overall, phat, higher tension, very silky smooth on the fingers, im impressed.

Towards the end of 1964, Fender starting using pearloid fret markers, below are the fret markers from my June 64 which has the "clay" (or whatever it was) fret markers. [URL=http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/chrisanthony1611/media/IMG_1261_zpsbiiueyjs.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r776/chrisanthony1611/IMG_1261_zpsbiiueyjs.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Here are the pearloid ones from the December 1964 Precision that I'm selling. It still has the clay on the top dots though, they didn't go until 65 I think...

I currently have a set of FL's on my Precision which I really like, however I just can't help wondering whether I'd like the FS's even more, any thoughts and experiences about the differences would be appreciated.
