deanovw Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Here is my Ampeg V4B and double Barefaced two 10s. Definitely one of the best live sounds I have ever had. Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Would a ss preamp/valve power amp hybrid be against the "rules" of the thread? I'm doing a recap and general refurb on a Dynacord Eminent II at the moment, and could probably post some gut shots. Quote

MWH Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Oops, the big-uns got a non valve pre-amp, still weighs over six stone though ! Quote
VTypeV4 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 I've said it a few times (but still haven't done anything about it!) about the CTM100 - they're about the only Ashdown that really interest me. I'd love an A/B with my Trace.. Quote

bassmayhem Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 A friend made a new cabinet for my Peavey VB-2, a very nice tube/valve amp that costs close to nothing. The original cabinet was broken, so I ordered a new made from smoked oak. I just mounted the amp in the box; it looks nice, but will have some more bling-bling before it is ready. A nice grille cloth, a few rounds of oil and then leather corners. Looks rather nice already... 2 Quote
Rumple Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 My old Selmer Zodiac Fifty is up for sale, link in my signature. Any additional info on this would be appreciated. R. Quote
only4 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Recently reacquainted with this amp which I acquired around 30 years ago! I think it deserves a service. Quote
VTypeV4 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Posted December 5, 2017 Dropped some new valves into the Bassman 135 today - I opted for JJ 6L6 GC types as they seem to have a great reputation for reliability and character. There seems to be more variations on the 6L6 theme than most others including 5881, 7581, various re-issues, re-creations and all new designs! I haven't used JJ tubes for a while but had some of their EL34s which were much better than the Sovteks they replaced. New jj 6L6s 1217 by VTypeV4, on Flickr New jj 6L6s 1217 by VTypeV4, on Flickr New jj 6L6s 1217 by VTypeV4, on Flickr They've not yet been used in anger but I'm sure they'll be fine. 1 Quote
Pow_22 Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 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! Quote

VTypeV4 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Posted December 5, 2017 Just as a follow up, I've had a few hours on the valves today albeit still not in anger although I do think the amp has less background noise.. I haven't got a lot of experience regarding 6L6 powered amplifiers as most that I've got / had have mainly been either EL34 or 6550 / KT88 based. This might make any meaningful comparisons a little tricky especially as the previous valves in the Fender were two different pairs - one were what I assume to be the original Fender branded Sylvania 'Made in the USA' valves. Might keep them as spares or might let them go as they're quite strong on the second hand market. Quote
Pow_22 Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 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 Quote
