    Id go with Lozz's Ashdown 410. Im not a fan of Barefaced (never tried their 410 however) for the 'warm vintage' tone, I find the ones ive tried (a single 12" effort a few years ago, a 2x12 one around a year ago and more recently their 2x10 horizontal effort) always seem to have a nasally/honkey mid and an ice picky treble. I always find my Ampeg 410he provides bags of warmth and vintage thump with my v4BH 100w valve amp

    Yup, I had the YBA200 and loved it. Enjoy!

    cool, thanks for the reply. Im currently on TAD's but looking for something with a bit more 'bite'. Ive messed around with the pre-amp valve and got a nice growl coming from them (some old Mazda ECC83's). Im very tempted by the new TungSol 7581a's. Will let you know what I go for!. Nice amp BTW, love a bit of vintage valve

    Let me know what you think of the JJ 6L6's VTypeV4. My ampeg v4BH is due a re valve soon and as you say the amount of 6l6GC's and other variants available is very confusing!

    Bought some halfrounds off Mark in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here

    I still think its really quite naughty of ashdown to list the CTM15 as all valve, puts me off buying one to be honest. I don't like companies who lie

    Desperately trying to find a drive pedal to get me that tone in The Fratellis song Halloween Blues! What a tone!

      Ive studied his gear in a bit of a geeky way.  Obviously I don't know studio wise but generally he uses a flats loaded P bass through an Ampeg valve rig.  I would guess there is a few thousand pound worth of studio gear that is certainly helping :)

      Let's forget the studio gear! I reckon some time spent with a VT Bass would be well spent. In my opinion it does that SVT thing really well. And it doesn't even have any valves in it. ;)

      Yep, VT Bass is the daddy for replicating trusty Ampeg tones.

    oh, that IS cheap AND local!

    EXH Russian Big Muff – the very recent reissue of the original Bubble Font green muffs. Had about 3hrs use, never gigged and kept in a pedal board case. Have removed the feet and applied Velcro but no dings, scratches etc. Comes with original box. Pics to follow asap. Collection from Bolton preferred or can post at cost. Current band needs something more drivey/tubey and less fuzzy so will accept Trades/Part Ex for Tech 21 VT Character Series pedal or Catalinbread SFT

    Ill take these please. PM on way

      I guess he doesn't need it now Roses have finished again - unless Ian Brown has another messy divorce!

      haha - i imagine he's already spunked the £2 million advance for the reunion gigs and needs to sell them for petty cash...

    4. Duroc17

      Duroc17

      yes apparently he didnt know the advance was going in and went for some milk, went to an ATM, saw the cash and then went on a 3 day party!

  13. Pow_22
    Yup, the lightweight gear just doesn't do it for me, particularly the cabs. Each to their own I guess

    Hmmm, do I sell my Ampeg V4B to fund a Mesa BB 750? o.O

    1. discreet

      discreet

      No! You'll regret it. Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life...

      That's a difficult one, sounds like you would need to A/B them first!

    3. discreet

      Probably best. Haven't heard the Mesa, but it's going to have to go some to sound better than a V4B. In my humble opinion, of course. :)

    I know their flats were re-badged GHS Precision flats so whether GHS makes their rounds too?
  16. Pow_22
    Stop tempting me to flog my Ampeg and go for this!!!!

    As a fender PB70 player (my main bass) I can testify to the loveliness of these necks!
