ha ha, no...77 to 82, end of!

lend em the gear if you care about your band, its only a practise amp and back up bass after all, so long as you're happy knowing any damage will be paid for by the boys.

anyone tried these yet? £130 seems insanely low unless its utter pants, I've a Harley Tele and its great, Think they might be taking over the world! https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_550_white_progressive_series.htm?ref=search_prv_3

Ive got the Boss LMB-3, think i paid about £45 for it used, before that I had the Markbass compressore, think I paid about £140 for it, can I really tell the difference? Nope..... http://www.ovnilab.com/

dont forget actually collecting the cash/arguing with the landlord at the end of the gig as well!

back to the amp thread, these are a bargain, loud as hell https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-Bandit-65-Guitar-Amp/222890301593?hash=item33e54c1899:g:UEwAAOSwo3tar~Xl this has the foot pedal as well https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEAVY-Renown-400-Guitar-Amplifier-Solid-State-Amp-with-Pedal/372194630168?hash=item56a8875a18:g:VZIAAOSwzRFaW3kM and possibly the best of the lot, the Transtube series, very desirable and becoming collectable https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-Studio-Pro-112-Guitar-Amp/192469053582?epid=24011273506&hash=item2cd00cb08e:g:6XgAAOSwvGladZPQ

Im no expert but even I can spot thats a fake 10 miles away, the tuners for starters are super wrong!

But even the great big acts like Sabbath, Zeppelin, Floyd, Purple, Stones, Rush etc etc have a huge back catalogue, but they still play the same dozen or so songs from each band, why dont they mix it up a bit?

used to listen to it, but it got so repetitive (Alice Cooper's Poison anyone? Pretty sure that was part of his DJ contract that it had to be played Every Bloomin' day)), gave up on it, started listening to 6 music and realised I wasn't dead from the waist down after all!

I never go in to any gig with expectations, that way Im never disappointed and sometimes mildly pleased!

same as mine, had the board completely redone, new JJ valves, done 30 gigs now, no probs sounds great, but deffo having it serviced every year (done last month £70 including new pre valve)

The new ones are made in Vietnam and not in anyway as good as the USA ones (IMO), however, if you are lucky enough to get someone who knows their way around a tube amp you can get them sorted. Billy is right about the reliability issues.

wow these are great!

I have mine on about half way both gain and volume and control with the volume knob on the bass for all my pub gigs, through an HLF 410, sounds great, roll off the bass, boost a little mid, certainly not mushy.

thing is, how to connect his bass/guitar to those RCA inputs? Jack to RCA cable i suppose?

An SVT-CL and a 401 HLF, will it cut it at a pub gig? You're kidding right?!! I hope i don't sound patronising but you do know to make sure the amp is connected to the speaker before you switch it on? oh and answer to the last qustion, the CL anyday...if you've not used one before you're in for a treat!

The crap ones can be laugh to be remembered! We did a wedding (for a a mate and for free!) and not only did we not even get a drink, I bought a round for the bride and groom!

If I was looking for a P at the £500 mark, Id deffo be looking Japanese Fender or squier JV (if you're lucky), good chance of getting your money back there.

we have a mackie Thump, I think its pants TBH, our old peaveys were loads better.

how about vinyl? Expensive but great! https://www.discmanufacturingservices.com/vinyl/prices
