    The LB cabs were made in the UK and had neo drivers whereas the VS cabs are made in China. The LB212 was a far superior cab to the two VS112 cabs I owned briefly, plus the LB series are much lighter.

    Mid range snarl? Not sure about the J pickup but that sounds like the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder SPB3 for the P position!

    Just heard the completion date for my VT5 has been put back two weeks

    [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1351242783' post='1849066'] ^^ I don't think shipping to Norway would be economical though ^^ Nice bit of kit if you're local [/quote] Ah, I'd missed that

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1351242164' post='1849051'] And there`s a feeler in the for sale section about an LB. [/quote] And the matching LB212 cab. A match made in heaven......

    MY LB30 was a superb amp, the tone was just wonderful. It is the only amp I really regret selling

    [b][color=#000000]1 x "Heads Up" strap [/color][/b] Basically, this is a 2.75" wide strap that is counterbalanced with lead weights to stop neck dive. It really works, I just have no need for it any more.

    This bass is now withdrawn.

    [quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1350679756' post='1842352'] I don't suppose there's anyone here in or near London with one of these (4 or 5 string, Alder or Ash body) who'd be able to meet up somewhere for me to try out ? I feel virtually ready to order one but have never played one, so I'm a bit hesitant. Please PM me if you think you could help. [/quote] My VT5 (that's a PJ to you and me) will be landing in London in two weeks Andy. More than happy to meet somewhere if you fancy giving it a workout.

    The "official" setup is two ECC83 for the preamp (the two valves next to each other), with a single ECC82 as the driver.

    [quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1350480748' post='1839449'] Ok, I removed the hood from the little sucker... and found a few strange things. The two preamp tubes at the left side are two 12AX7 while the last one (right side) is a 12AU7. [/quote] 12AX7 is the US code for the European code ECC83, likewiswe 12AU7 is an ECC82.

    La Bella now make flats that are suitable for through-body stringing.

    I didn't order a tinted neck with my VT5... didn't realise I could..... hope it doesn't look too weird with the hardcore aging!

    [quote name='alstocko' timestamp='1350312761' post='1837128'] First day of the Lakkies, great so far! [/quote] How do they compare to the La Bellas, both in terms of feel (i.e. smooth, rough to the touch?) and tension?
  18. franzbassist
    I would take one if someone would buy my second NY151RJ, but sadly no takers
  19. franzbassist
    Fantastic amp. I had one and wish I still did.
  20. franzbassist
    [quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1350112377' post='1834623'] Very nice it is too sir! Are you going for an ash/matt or alder/highgloss body? [/quote] Hard core aged, matt on ash.
  21. franzbassist
    Brilliant! I can now see what my VT5 will look like when it arrives in a month's time.

    OBBM is selling a MIJ sunburst Geddy Lee right [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/182334-fender-geddy-lee-sunburst/page__p__1828516__hl__geddy__fromsearch__1#entry1828516"]here[/url] on BC. £550 gets it!
  23. franzbassist
    Don't forget they've added a TT4 to the line as well now....
  24. franzbassist
    Not many amps I regret selling, but my LB30 is one of them. In a word........ [size=5][b]TONE[/b][/size]
  25. franzbassist
    Same experience here, but a quick play with the pots sorted it. I put Innovation Silver Slaps on the one I had, which meant I had to use piezo only, but the lower tension and improvement in tone made for a much more satisfying EUB experience!
