I can't decide. I keep 2 SX P shorties and 2 SX J shorties -Precision flats on a P and a J and Pressurewounds on the other P and J. Total tonal choice depending on the gig, and I still don't have as much money tied up as I would in one 'good' bass!!! Blooz

OK, so the weekend came and went without a photo session. Well, I'm a firm believer in no pic, no new amp, so behold the avatar change. My newest acquisition with my favorite SX - the short scale P in Lake Placid Blue. I suspect this combination will carry me through bass playing...

Well gang, the big brown truck stopped by today - and dropped off a PF50T and a PF115HE. A number of family obligations tonight kept me from spending more than about a half hour with them, but I have never had this kind of experience with a new amp. I just noodled and listened, adjusting the...

OK, after a couple of evenings of low-level practice, the problem I described a few pages back regarding the V3 100 cutting out hasn't reappeared. I'm going to chalk it up to an undervoltage situation (I always use a surge strip so a spike wasn't the problem). The only other electronics in the...

Gluvhand - sorry, it's kind of an inside joke from something over a year ago. It was addressed to Linnin because he was involved with it. I should have PM'd that to him rather than keep the entire board wondering about it. The main point of that post was to see if anyone had a similar problem...

Linnin - Haven't used it at all since the episode 2 Sundays ago. I'll be pulling it out tomorrow and giving it a light workout, but I'm assuming that since it worked fine after 'rebooting' that it will be OK. I will be testing it extensively before the next show, which runs the best part of...

Had my first glitch in over a year of steady use with the Rumble 100 the other day. Closing day of a 3 week long show - final big production number - Rumble quits in the middle of the tune. Had all the tone knobs nooned, none of the effects buttons engaged, gain and volume at around 10:30 or...

Just pulled the trigger on the PF50T and 115HE. Haven't played tubes in a long while, but looking forward to doing it again soon. Time to dust off the old Portaflex Club number and participate again - it's been a long time, although I still have the B15T that got me in the door here many years...

Jason hooked me up with a set of GHS Precision Flats for my 6 string. They've been my go-to string since I bought the first set for one of my short scales a couple of years ago. I've tried most of the other flats, and nothing compares to the sound of the GHS to my ears - and that includes the...

The legs are so far forward because of the way the amp electronics mount down the back of the cabinet. Only problem I've had is that the first gig I used the legs, the amp walked backward a bit, straightened out the legs and tipped over backward. No damage, and the next night a cheap rubber...

Somewhere earlier in this thread I detailed the whole tilt back leg thing that I did, but here are a couple of shots. Angle works out to be about 45 degrees - perfect for what I do with it. Steve - I like that kickstand you put on. Considering one of those for gigs where I don't want quite as...

Happy to help. I did something similar with mine - it came with the regular Ampeg speaker (which I believe was made by Eminence), and I replaced it with an Eminence Beta 8 ohm so I could put it on top of an old Ibanez 115 cabinet that I had and use both speakers. When played by itself, there's...

Dennis - in case Tom doesn't see this thread any time soon, I forwarded to you what he was kind enough to send me 4 and a half years or so ago. Enjoy the amp - I still love mine! Blooz

According to the manual on the Fender website, only the 'head-only' versions have speaker out. The combo version does not. That's true of the V2 150 and 350.

Yeah, the thought has crossed my mind......but the clashing grill cloth would be absolutely hideous. On the other hand, it was a $99 find, and replacement grill cloth is readily available - so the wheels in my aged brain are turning............
