“used...not ubused...lightly gigged” I'd hate to think what he considers 'Roadworn'!?

Just in from our gig at The Angel Inn, Andover - we had a great night, a few of our loyal following turned up, so that always helps, there was a mix of people, some wanted to sit at tables and watch the band/chat with their pals, others wanted to dance and sing, we even had a young couple that we're heading to the Indian for dinner and were drawn in to the pub and stayed all night (they had packets of crisps and pickled eggs for their dinner, washed down with gin and beer😳😷) Looking forward to a double header next weekend😀

That's one of my locals, played there many times and can be a great gig😎🙂

VBA400 FTW - gigged mine again last Saturday, just immense!😎🤘

I’d say it’s not as dark as an SVT (although that could be to do with the cab) - I’ve heard folks say the EQ on these can seem a bit limited, I did have the deep switch and bright switch engaged, left the table and bass controls at noon and boosted the mids a touch - to my ears it sounded quite articulate for a valve amp, despite plenty of overdriven tones, I was digging in hard during a couple of Nirvana covers and you could clearly hear the difference. Really pleased with it👍🏻😊

Absolutely awesome, really pleased with it, I used the GS412 with it as the Bassman cab pretty much fills the load area of my car. I’d been mulling over getting a valve amp for a while and almost pulled the trigger on a SVT - this thing goes into overdrive and just sounds like I was hoping and wanting it to, yes it’s super heavy at 76lbs, almost double the weight of my DB750 (and that’s pretty heavy at 46lbs) but totally worth the effort😊👍🏻🤘

I still have my Barefaced cab for the really tricky load-ins, and to be honest it sounds equally as good as the 412. That is the only draw back, but it sounds so good so totally worth it, anyway, that’s what band mates are for😁

We played at The Angel Inn in Andover last night, had a few of our regulars make the journey from Salisbury to see our first outing of the year, smallish crowd to start with and then the place soon filled up, lots of singing and even some dancing on the bar, so a great night was had by all. First gig with the Marshall VBA400 - I’d been hankering for a valve amp since joining this band as we do classic rock covers, and wanted that sound - wow! It certainly does that in spades, even had my jeans flapping a few times, reminded me of my younger days! Very happy😊👍🏻

I’m considering giving this a run out on Friday night, not sure about the cab, it’s a monster to move around and have heard conflicting reports regarding performance.

I feel bad now after hearing the difficulties you guys are facing regarding getting gigs, chasing gigs can be soul destroying at the best of times ☹️ - my first outing last night, the first of 45 gigs booked for this year so far (still have 4 dates to fill for later this year), we played a working men’s club in Chandlers Ford and the place was busy with lots of singing and dancing all night - not quite sure what bass face I was pulling here? Looks more like gurning to me🤣

I feel the same about this😊🤘

🤣🤣 There used to be a band locally to me called The Pink Torpedos, and I once played in a band called The Willy Stroker Band.
