pbasspecial Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Last night I got to use myĀ recently purchased Ampeg B200r atĀ rehearsal last night with my 81Ā Tokai P Bass with black nylons. Sounded fantastic. Lovely fat, gritty old school tone. Just as a bass should be ššš I can see me letting the Barefaced Supertwin and Ashdown ABM500 go (will get anotherĀ if IĀ ever join a super loud rock band again).Ā Will gig with it in a few weeks timeĀ and make the final decision then. Nice when a purchase exceeds your expectations! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Great amps!Ā I have the B50R and it sounds moreĀ 'old school valvey' that my actual 'old school valvey' SB12! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) I won't put black Nylon wrapped strings on any bass I have. I've done it three times and all three basses ended up stolen.Ā When I got my Precision I wanted to use Rotosounds but none were available in Liverpool at the time. FinallyĀ I took a train to Manchester to buy some.Ā Edited May 17, 2021 by BassmanPaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth getting those mini tracking devices in the gig bag or under theĀ pick guard.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have a B50R. Have had it for donkeys. I really don't need it, but I couldn't bear to sell it Ā I have at times taken the amp out and used it as a pre amp for a big rig. It's great. Used to use a B100R at a studio too, that was nice too.Ā I really need to get around to fixing the light on it.Ā Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
