Jigster

Gigged mine last through the BC410 - great on stage sound and from what I heard of the other bands using it, great presence out front -

[quote name='Starless' timestamp='1336587956' post='1648094'] Total thumbs up from me. Gigging with one for past 6 months now (plus BC410) and cuts through anything no problem. Run it flat, no EQ, perfect (and lightweight). [/quote] Yep I have one - run it flat, plenty of power, and grit if you want with tube simulator

Tuesday nights for an out of town gang?

My band has a gig offer at the Night & Day in Manchester (on a Tuesday night ) - anyone local to the area got any comments on the vibe of the place? Good gig?

no I know, but I'm enquiring more about the signal of the valve once at a high volume - how valves differ and which might be of a less high gain nature?? I think the prob lies largely in the input gain tho, as Thinman posted

Yep you're right - I think I have been overdriving it - BUT, still feels a little fizzy

I'm currently using two EHX 12AX7's and a 12AT7 as my pre-amp valves. They drive the amp fine, but I wondered if there were any I can use that are compatible to the Bassman, that will allow less break up at high volume and offer a cleaner sound. Paired with the two basses I use which both have quite hot pick ups, the valves can get a bit fizzy. I realise these things are probably marginal at the high volume stage, but this current combination tends to break up a little too much for my liking. Any suggestions/thoughts welcome and pricing would be an issue so nothing too tope end please.

Hi Classrock, from Chapelfields [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1334505302' post='1616937'] Ah, Coundon. I went to Coundon Court School. I was born in Styvechale but grew up in Allesley. I left Cov 30 years ago, I only went back twice, very shortly afterward. I never want to see the place again after what friends tell me it's like now I hope it's not as soulless as they say. [/quote] Nigel - your friends sound like so many typical Coventry detractors who need to get out (in Coventry and open their eyes) more!!! You could never describe a city as inventive and creative as Coventry, pop. currently 350,000 (inventing the bike/being centre of watch and weaving industry/centre of car industry/host to a diverse arts industry/host to a multi-nation and multi-faith population, with over 200 different languages currently spoken in city schools, AND the best goal ever scored in an FA Cup Final, 1987!!) as soulless. It's the usual thing of beauracrats, architects and politicans making decisions about the city to create what is, yes, a hobgoblin of styles and quite a lot of concrete, but there's no chance the city is soulless. Sounds like you're due a trip back - you might be surprised what you've been missing out on!!
