    Yes you have a problem, your bass to amp ratio is too low, you should have more than one bass per amp, please purchase more vintage bass's asap for your own mental health. :help:

    FS/FT - ElectroniX MESSDrive Plus

    Finally got around to taking a few pictures of the B-18 Dick helped me out with. The good bad and yes a bit ugly. Has a few issues including started red plating the power tubes so the head has to go out for service. As you can see at least one leaking cap. Also it had some monster casters...

    I believe that to be sage advice my friend. I'll pop the hood and check a few values, after proper discharging and with grounding of course, but I think I'll have a famous local (somewhat) TB'er give it a proper going through, give it a three prong power cord etc.

    Oh wait, I thought we were disavowing all knowledge and the what not….. ;) I have to admit to being busy and a little lazy getting my documentation in order, but what the PIA Georgia Bureau Chief is referring to is a B-18 he found and went above and beyond the call to actually go take a...

    Anyone dig/use Dean Markley strings?

    For tone and feel Blue Steel 105-50 for me, have them on everything I play regularly.
