Like all such things (mentioning no names but h*******y springs to mind), if you believe it's true there's a greater chance that it's true 👍

Easy ride, seriously?

Yep, trying too hard

Is that a product? Looks a bit hand-made to me?

Wise man 👍

Drums weren’t the problem @Dad3353 🤔

Bottom line is that there is no objective measure of noise here, I’ve owned units by PJB, Markbass, Fender, and many others whose hiss and/or fan noise was too much, while I’m sure to others the levels were tolerable. None were faulty per se but each was moved on.

The big thing for me was always the people who worked there. I remember a really tough and hot summer’s night rehearsing Cream by Prince in a room in Camden. Walked out of the room almost despondent with the crapness and the guy at the desk said ‘It’s almost there guys, harder song than you think, just keep at it’. We did and it came together. As ever, with recording, rehearsing, and gigging, it’s less the room than the people 👍

@Chiliwailer 1-bass to rule them all is a very good approach, I’m trying to get there albeit with 1xfretted and 1xfretless. @Dad3353 you’re spot in, tone is 99% how you play 👍

Many many thanks @wal4string

Some guys I know who do it use the space for their bands and rent it out the rest of the time, they make a loss. For a couple of others it’s a labour of love, giving back to the music community, they also make a loss. Most around here have closed now 😕

Not sure I’m allowed to say this these days…… But that’s a real man’s rig 👍

So potentially more the previous owner’s fault than Fender’s?

Very sad, sorry to hear this and condolences to family and friends ❤️

So this was a new instrument or second-hand?

Wise words👍

I have the Diesel 2x10 and it certainly doesn’t lack bass, surprised you find the 15 does?

Welcome to the site BTW 😀

These days about £500, way below what they’re worth. Mine is still my favourite amp 😀

He has good taste 👍

When Leo designed the '51 I'm sure he was thinking "Mmm, that's a lot of space between the bridge and PUP, I wonder what folks will do with it? Nice work, I'm doing something similar should time allow And 51' mod threads always warrant a pic of Charlie Tumahai
