    Why are tube amps not as widely used by modern bass players?

    This what I've moved to also. I've played a few different Class D amps in GK and Fender and have an Ampeg V4B. Love the sound of the tubes. It just gives a depth I don't feel like I can dial in with my Class D amps. The weight was an issue as I'm my own roadie. So I tried the WD-800 on a...

    School of Rock -- I'm split

    You've got to learn to walk before you run. Getting kids involved with music, especially in a group setting, is a great thing. The creative ones will soon want to go beyond playing someone else's stuff once they have achieved whatever they feel is the necessary skill level to drive that...

    What was the dumbest thing an audience member ever said to you?

    We got asked by a completely wrecked audience member to play the song we had, literally, just finished playing. When I told them that, they argued with me, then told me to f*** off. I even showed them the setlist I had. A very satisfying interaction.

    100 watts tube sufficient?

    I play a V4B reissue through a 2x10 and 1x15. Our band plays bars where there's up to 150-200 people. It has always been plenty loud without much dirt. If I need it dirtier, there's certainly room for that as the volumes we play at mean I'm pushing the master volume to about noon-2 or so, and...

    I love the Traveling Wilbury's, but..........
