thanks! Just contacted the seller but I read that it was fitted with 6550 power tubes. Seems that it should be 6L6… and read that 6550 may damages the output transformer if no mods were made as those 6550 requires more voltage… will ask about it

thanks a lot, will spend some hours today to,discover the Ashdown tube amps as I really don’t know anything about them… 2dehands is fine but unfortunately a lot of SVT CL and some vintage V4 for crazy prices. Buying used is fine but really want the latest version of the V4B as it seems it has a...

Thanks so much for all these good advises! next week I.ll go in some music shop to check what I could test here. Guess I should be able to find a store in Belgium that has the Terror Bass, OB-1 in stock. I probably won’t find any tubes Ampeg in stock… I should be able to try Darkglass as well...

Thanks! Just double checked the availability of the pf50t here in Europe and seems it will be here in December. Still making my mind about’ it but thanks to you I V4B wasn’t a good choice for my use! The pf50t will be perfect! (And the V4B was on my 2 favourite on my amp list… so probably the...

Thanks for the input and the advise about the DG pedals. Totally agree with you, better buy another amp and the pedal to get THAT fantastic tone

Thanks! Yes, I’ve considered it as it seems perfect but seems it.s out of stock everywhere in European Union… otherwise that’d be a solid choice.

Hi, I’ve been playing bass for more than 30 years and had a lot of gear… really a lot, was a bit crazy with basses, amps, effects. For the last 7 years I’ve stopped playing and sold everything except my beloved bass. Now I’m seriously back to music as I had some health issues and had to stay...

And finding a Heritage B15 at 30’ driving from my home is something that won’t happened twice...

I said that it was noisier. It’s subjective as I didn’t tried them side by side and I may be wrong... will go and try it once again to be sure about it. You are right about the noise! It’s subjective as I didn’t tried them side by side and I may be wrong... will go and try it once again to be...

merci! And you speak French! C’est cool!

You are 100% right about it! Still thinking about it BTW, my amp sounds so good and can’t justify having 2 B15N home!

Totally agree with you about the colour! The top is all hand carved, such an amount of work... a bit Crazy. The perfect bass for me: look and tone... each time I’m going to his workshop I’m trying that bass and each time I want it but each time I remember the price... will go to his workshop...

Yes! Stupid but that one of the thing that makes me think a lot about selling it... I know, stupid!

Sounds really great in a B15!

And also have a guitar he made (don’t made it for me but had the opportunity to get it from a friend that didn’t want to sell it but he accepted to sell it to me under condition: sell it back to him if I ever want to sell it. That friend had 25 guitars, so he could live without a guitar!)
