I have never tried the Ampeg but do use the Fender ACB50 all tube combo on gigs. I also use the MESA SUBWAY WD800 Class D head. There’s a huge difference between the two.. they’re both great but very different. The Fender has an organic raw sound that I just don’t get from the MESA. 50 Tube...

As a former owner of a WT550 that I used for years I remember the Nemesis series used FET technology and the WT series built in Minnesota did not. Both great products 👍

I have been using the Fender ACB50 on gigs and it’s a really nice piece of gear. 50 watt 15” tube combo.

I would imagine that those shows and the audio is owned by CBS or some other entity ?? It would be great to hear them in high quality 👍

They are very good amps designed specifically for Jazz Guitars and upright bass… Sadowsky Guitars has / had one in the showroom when he was building the Jazz Box guitars. That’s a great endorsement.

At most of my shows I use a Class D 800 watt MESA head with either 2 x 15 or a 4 x 10. Never any problems with volume or clarity. Recently I have been using my Fender ACB50 bass combo which is a 50 watt tube combo. A guy / bassist at one of the shows stopped me to tell me how clear and full the...

If you had a large quantity of bass gear and were looking to unload it..how would you do this ?

We saw Duran Duran a few summers back at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens NY. John Taylor was playing his Dingwall bass and they sounded amazing. The acoustics were fantastic. We saw The Brothers at Madison Square Garden which was an Allman Brothers reunion tour.. the bass was just a big blur...

We have played on a bunch of big stages over the last few years and I could have easily left my amp at home. I prefer to have my amp directly behind me when playing live shows. Still love experimenting with different amp/cab/bass configurations …

Yes.. it’s an amazing sounding amp. Plenty of volume for a 5 pc band.

Today’s show.

Thank you. 👍

I just this week took advantage of Fender’s $200. Discount and purchased a USA Pro ll 4 string passive Jazz Bass with a maple dot neck board. I purchased it directly from Fender. Bass shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. To my surprise it was set up perfectly..the weight is just...
