Although it's pretty old, this is a great thread, and thanks to the OP and others who have documented the measurements of various strings! I find this information very useful in making string purchases. I prefer smaller gauge and looser feel for most of my basses. I really don't like buying a...

These pickups have adjustable pole pieces. You could raise the pole pieces on the bridge D and G pickup. I think that will help some. Cool bass, by the way. :bassist:

I just found a YouTube video that a guy pulled the front grill off just by pulling on the top silver stripe thing. I guess it can be done, lol. Hopefully nobody reads my post. :laugh:

I know there are other threads about removing grills from Peavey cabs, but I couldn't find any about a combo, and I thought I would share my experience. I have a silver stripe (mid-late 90's) model with a 12 inch speaker and 50 watts. It does not have the vertical gray stripes on each side like...

I know this thread is old, but there is a Marshall DBS rig for sale on CL that is (relatively) local... It appears to be the 7200 head though. Does anyone know if the 7200 sounds as good as the 7400?

I know this thread is ancient, but this has been an enjoyable read. I love those old Marshall cabs, and making it into a somewhat 'modern' cab is a very cool idea. If this cab is still in action, please post an update. :)

I am curious, what did Carvin say? There is a BX1200 on CL near me that I am considering. Any info you can offer will be appreciated.

No, the gold faceplate model was during the JCM 800 (early to late 80s) or 900 (late 80s to early 90s) eras, if I remember correctly. The MB series was after that, although I can't give you an exact time frame. I had a 1987 Marshall catalogue at one time, that was the year they released the...

A 400 watt tube amp is going to rock, for sure. That would be a dream rig for me, lol. I have never seen one anywhere near me. That is probably a good thing, because if I had one I would most likely get kicked out of the townhouse I live in. The IBS amp was pretty hi-fi sounding, that's a good...

In my opinion, Marshall made some pretty good bass gear, but you paid a lot for the name. Nothing was cooler than Marshall in the 80s and early 90s if you were a rock/metal player. I was very happy when I got a 100 watt SS Integrated Bass System rack mount head in the early 90s. It sounded good...

I know the thread is old, but I have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed this nostalgic journey. The old Peavey gear really brings back memories of good times, and I have played a lot of Peavey gear over the years. Back in the 80s we used it because it was all we could afford, but they were loud...

Those look interesting for sure, except for the price. I will probably give them a try. Thanks.

@sotua Your recording sounds really good, very Geddy-ish! And speaking of Geddy, I would like to add that a lot of the reason I decided to keep my Yamaha is that when my band plays or rehearses, I can use my guitar player's Tech 21 Sansamp YYZ pedal. That really makes it sound brighter...

I just saw your post Sotua, and I have to say that your experience with this bass is the same as mine. I know exactly what you mean by "early Rush clank" and the Yamaha doesn't do it. I also have a couple of Ibanez basses, and agree they can be a little too much high end. They seem to be...

That is very sad news. Not too much of a surprise, but sad nonetheless. I guess I will have to start researching something else.
