Fellrunner Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi All, Ive enjoyed reading all kinds of nonsense on here for well over a year....its cost me a small fortune in gear (thanks) and been an interesting read. Finally decided to reveal myself as I've had something of an epiphany. I've been using a Marshall VBA400 with 4x12 (and 8x10 for a while thanks to a bloke from here) since last Feb but all the talk of lightweight wonders tempted me to part with a load of cash. I couldn't resist the idea of strolling into gigs with my amp in a pony manbag and cab in one hand. I've really tried but alas it cannot compete with the perfect sound I get from the Marshall valves.....it's a keeper. Longtimefred on here is absolutely right (I bought a flight case from him a while back) I'm sticking with valves....they sound better when you get loud, the lightweight gear doesn't. So, hello basschat, I play bass in an originals band in Manchester....with a big heavy loud amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hey Fellrunner, I hear you loud 'n' clear. Welcome to BC, or rather: welcome to the surface. Enjoy the banter s'more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkpegasus4001 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I would like to return to valve stuff too. Welcome to the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwilliams Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi Fellrunner. Great name, I don't mind the distance but not the pace, I'll stick to a day in my hiking boots. Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Welcome... I'm bucking the trend on here too, moving from Markbass + 1X12 to big valves and 8X10... gradually. Just need a weightlifter's belt and a new truss and I'll be sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
