Just out of interest really - I was reading opinions on how the old ones were the best sounding bass amps ever made, and wondered how close the new ones came to that accolade.
I’m not thinking of buying a new one, and I definitely couldn’t justify owning/maintaining an old one. I’ll carry on with my little pf350 for the foreseeable as I’m only doing pub gigs and weddings 😁
I’d just been reading about B15’s & B12’s, then thought of this thread.
Sorry if this has already been covered, but wattage aside, are these new valve heads recreations, reimaginations or just looky likeys of those old 60’s beasts?
I read the thread title as “feathers” earlier, and “Fenders” this evening.
1. Zero fret
2. ultralight tuners
3. rolled edge fretboards
4. the ability to balance (two strap buttons on symmetrical body or one offset on a non-symmetrical boy like wot Tobias used to do) whilst still being plugged in.
Two One10’s will sound awesome. I just started using both all the time (two Marshall 4x12’s to contend with) hence my want of a Two10. Heck, if I’m flush I might just get a Four10 and be damned with the roof!
I had 2 x One10’s before but had to sell them when I was skint.
The cabs were great, and the customer service was top notch. Looking forward to getting another!
I’m thinking I have enough now, maybe even one too many for now. I’ll never be shot of the JV. It’s perfect!
The black bitsa needs some tweaks but I feel will be a great player once the nut is done.
My new headless is so comfortable to play, and is conveniently small and light!
Th lovely blue HB originally done by @yorks5stringer is possibly going to be on the bench a bit more these days. Hmm. Could put a Stingray pickup in and make it a bit uniquerer?
Bought a Hohner Jack from Mike I’d been wanting for some time.
Mike is an absolutely lovely bloke, and has been very patient and accommodating in my prolonged enquiry, to eventual purchase and then collection of said-instrument!
Thank you Mike!
Just got in from meeting @scrumpymike to pick up this fantastic beast!
I first saw it in the classifieds here, then shortly after played it at the SW Bass Bash. I wanted it.
Fast forward a few months and here we be! I will have to get used to the narrower string spacing (ironic as I posted about not liking narrow necks earlier in the week) and the lack of head, but my playing feels more fluid already. Looking forward to gigging it Friday!
