    They do, don't they? And switchable between 2, 4, and 8 ohms gives you all the flexibility on cabs you could possibly want. *drools*

    Some pics, as that page is a bit of a nightmare... [IMG]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i17/brianeharmonjr/SuperBassmanedit.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i17/brianeharmonjr/Bassman100Tedit.jpg[/IMG] As I say, yum. Just a shame the price point is too high for me right now.

    Have you guys seen this? http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/bassmanpro/ I have to confess to being very excited by these new amps. I love that the 100w version has the ability to switch down to 25w output for studio work. I think there's a gap in the market at the moment for a 100w bass valve amp (or am I missing something?) as most heads seem to be much more powerful. This can be a bit much for those of us playing pubs and bars etc. I had a VBA 400 until recently which I reluctantly got rid of as it had so much more headroom than I needed and was an absolute beast to carry about. I reckon the Bassman 100T would be right up my street. Lighter, great looks, nice dirty channel, and versatile for the studio. Only downside - I don't really want to spend £1500... What do you guys think? I can't wait till used ones of these start hitting ebay...

    Just done a trade with Rich on a VBA400 for an Orange TB500. Great guy to deal with - brilliant comms and even let me tinker with a couple of prize specimens from his bass collection! Thanks, fella! Dan

    Deal done!

    Are speakon connectors for amps and cabs all the same? And are they all 2 pole or 4 pole? I have a speakon to jack which I got with my head, but I'm changing it and I need to get speakon to speakon but I can see there are different types and I'm not sure which mine is. Thank you!

    Have managed to add one picture, I have some more but the uploader seems to be unwilling to add them, so message me if you want them. Thanks, Dan

    Hi all, Have had this for about 8 months although it is older than that (I got it second hand so I don't know exactly how old) and it is awesome - fantastic tone and immense power. It gave me precisely the tone I had in my head as soon as I plugged in. The only reason I'm looking to sell is that I have had to reluctantly admit to myself that it's too powerful for my needs (small pub gigs etc). I recently had it serviced by Dave at Rosewell Amps and he replaced three valves in the pre-amp stage, although the power amp valves were fine. It comes with a flight case which is a little beaten up but still provides excellent protection. Looking for £550 for a quick sale, or trade for a Orange Bass Terror plus some cash. Will post some pictures tonight after practice. Ideally it's collection only - I live in Leeds. Could look to deliver if you're not too far away, or potentially a courier at your expense and risk etc although it will be fully protected by the flight case etc. Any questions let me know!

    Hi there, Have trawled through this thread and can't find any recommendations for a good valve amp person in Leeds / West Yorks. Any one used anyone here they can let me know about? Cheers!

    Hi there, Is this still up for sale? Cheers, Dan

    That's what I thought and is very reassuring! Thanks for the help.

    Hi, Am i right in thinking i could potentially run any 4ohm 4x10 cab with a VBA400, (assuming the cab is rated at 400w or more) or will the amp overpower it, or be damaged by the cab? Marshall make a big deal about their 4x12 and 8x10 cabs being specially engineered to manage the power output of the VBA400 - is this true or is it a bit of marketing spiel? Appreciate your help!

    I have to say that's a wonderful picture. Absolutely superb.

    thanks for the reassurance! will try out those thomasltik jazz flats... never used flats before. as it currently has 45-105 roundwounds on it i'm guessing i'll need to get the neck and saddles adjusted for the revised string tension?

    Regarding bridges, what was said about being able to slip a sheet of paper under the back of them has made me very nervous. My '81 4001 has about a 1.5mm lift at the back of the bridge. It's solid as a rock and stays in tune etc no problem but is this something I should be looking to get fixed or is this just how they are? I'm a bit panicky now... [attachment=70399:photo_3.JPG] [attachment=70398:photo.JPG] On topic, however, I can say I love my 4001 enormously. The tone is absolutely unrivalled by anything else I have played and suits my pick style perfectly. I agree the ergonomics are not to everyone's taste but for me they're not a problem. Lovely low action and great Ric growl. As everyone else has said, you need to try one out properly to see how you'll get on with one, but I think you may well fall in love...

    I've got an Epiphone T-bird Pro IV which I haven't played for a few months. I had someone come round to look at it and it makes a buzzing/humming noise unless you have contact with the strings, or the bridge. I swapped cables etc and it wasn't plugged into any effects, so I'm not sure what's causing it. I replaced the 9v battery as recommended and it still hums! Any ideas of what I can do to rectify this? Also, if in needs someone to look at it does anyone know anyone in Leeds? Cheers guys!

    Have to say I would recommend Mike as someone to deal with: Good comms, flexible on postage, item as described. Top $.

    Hi there, I've got an Epiphone Thunderbird Pro IV and I want to get hold of a white scratchplate for it. I changed my standard Epiphone T-bird for the pro, and before I sold it I checked and the screw holes on the standard Epi scratchplate are near enough to swap one for the other. (Had I known how difficult it would be to get a replacement I would have sold the std Epi without the scratchplate!). I know WD music do T-bird plates but these don't have the logo on them. Does anyone know where I can get hold of one of these rare beasts? Any suggestions would be really welcome! Cheers!
