NAD... Ampeg PF50 & cab.

[spyder]

I've have been very happy with the ultra clean and precise sound from my GR Bass amp, cab and preamp pedal...... But we all like a little bit of dirt now and again don't we. So....

Bass Bros had this Ampeg PF50 and cab for sale and I hit the buy button without hesitation. I had for some stupid reason thought the cab was the 12" version. I looked again this morning and it was clearly marked 15". 

Will ( bass Bros ) very kindly said he would take it back if it did not suit my needs. After leaving it a few minutes to warm up I was pleasantly impressed with the warm sound that filled the rehearsal room. 

Obviously it sounds completely different from the GR Bass, they are so different.

I'm not going to gig it, it's just for my person practicing pleasure..... Nice.

Very nice units, I gigged mine a lot and it always sounded lush

Great setup spyder, they do have a lovely tone, I really should use mine more often

I've been tempted by these more than a few times - very cool indeed..

A week into ownership I noticed the hum problem that these are prone too. A quick internet search revealed a simple mod, just two components need to be soldered onto the board. Hum has now completed disappeared.  Its now perfect.

Ah , mine has a very slight hum which I asked about and was told about that mod, but I can’t find anyone locally who will do it, good to hear that it works

I had that set up for a few years and it was great. Thankfully I never had any hum but good to hear it is a quick and easy fix.

Some of them in the UK came with the hum reduction already done, presumably by Polar, the distributor at the time. Mine came from when Kenny's in Scotland was blowing them out at clearance prices, and the mod was already done.
