I think for the sake of peace we need to drop the car analogies.

No, absolutely not a problem at all. I have called my basses a collection myself, but reading through the thread this subtle difference has occurred to me. I think a lot of us have become "collectors" by accident.
-
I have a slight issue with the thread title as I have never "collected" basses, however over the past 40 years I have "accumulated" around 25 of them. I have intentionally set out to collect other things such as watches, stamps, books for example, but for me there is a (psychological) difference. Brilliant (confessional) thread BTW.

Which notable bassist played one of these?

Erm... no, that would be this one...

Yes, the point I have already made a few times in this very thread.

Roland and Simon Tracey Brint performed as Raw Sex on the French and Saunders show back then.

That's brilliant; I've never seen it before. The stars of my teenage all in one court. Much like the TV and radio stars of my teenage many years later but in a good way.

That's nearer the proper price for an amp of that specification. We just got used to a silly price that was probably a result of G4M selling at close to cost to raise revenue in this incredibly difficult time for business.

That was the last time Bean9Seventy visited....

Result! I reckon the compressor issue is dependent upon certain input signal characteristics and may therefore only affect certain users. The scratchy pots might be down to a particular batch of pots so may not affect every unit.

Ah okay, but nothing after that first day.

Good conversations between ourselves; Amy however hasn't been on here since her initial post it seems.

I did go to this event and thoroughly enjoyed it. Mark had a laugh with the audience, never taking it too seriously. However, the first piece of the night reminded me of .....- 18 replies

That's perfect. The comment will be relevant to the recent purchasers.

Be aware that doing this work invalidates any warranty. Damage to screw heads will be the most obvious sign the chassis has been opened.
-
It might've been a batch of sub-standard pots (I won't call them faulty) that need some extra TLC to correct the scratchiness. No biggie as long as the correct substance and procedure are used. When low cost is a primary design parameter these things can happen; just as long as safety is never compromised.
-
Because its electronic design isn't based on the Streamliner, it's based on the Ampeg PF800.
-
It may well be something that happens depending on the input signal. I've just bought an Ashdown EQ pedal where the VU meter barely moves with my Reggie Hamilton jazz bass in passive mode but leaps into life when active EQ is set flat, even though the apparent volume remains practically the same.

This looks like an even cheaper way to get the ultra low facility:-

I'm guessing the ultra low button does something similar to this:-

Does anyone else have the same issue with the compressor distortion/click mentioned in another thread on here? https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/332008-bugera-veyron-1001-series-2000w-amps/?do=findComment&comment=4863976

This, and the scratchy pots may very well be why this amp is being offloaded for £149. At this price most purchasers will still see it as a good deal and an acceptable compromise. At the original full price most would reject it.
