    The Geddy Lee Jazz Club Part 2

    Hey everyone. It's been quite sometime since I've checked out this thread. I've since "repurposed" my CIJ GLJ, and here's what it looks like today.

    Release date for Geezer Butler Signature bass?

    I saw Geezer last night with Black Sabbath in Connecticut. He played at least 2 different models (each with alternate tunings). Today I went to the Lakland site to see about his signature model(s), and quite to my surprise there's no information. In fact, they STILL show him playing that Glaub.

    Looking for a combo

    +1 on the TC Electronic BG250. I use it for practice and for gigs where I know I'll have PA support. For the latter I'll put it up on an amp stand so it's at ear level and I can hear it great. The XLR out makes it easy to go into any PA, and the built-in 5-string tuner works well too. I even...

    Genz Benz Sanity Check

    I was using a Crown XLS 1500 which is a lightweight class D. But after lugging a 6U "suitcase" around for a while (add up the amp, preamp, tuner, compressor, power strip and rack and it gets heavy fast), I wanted to get something that would do the same thing at a fraction of the weight. At...

    Genz Benz Sanity Check

    I pulled the trigger on a second PF500. I do believe this is the best option for me right now. I do appreciate all the input I got, and I may yet go with G-B in future. Jeff

    Genz Benz Sanity Check

    Thanks guys. I think at this time I am going to refrain from purchasing anything G-B. The Fender "re-org" has me a bit nervous, and I'd hate to drop ~$1K on something that may very well be obsolete in a month or two. My idea is this. A second PF500 (since I like the tone so much), and use it...

    Ampeg portaflex 500?

    I'm a couple of weeks late to this party, but I absolutely LOVE the tone I get from my PF-500. I use the PF115HLF, and sometimes I'll couple that with the PF115LF. Nice and deep. Pure Ampeg tone. I was one of the first to complain about the cut-out issue, but I have not had that happen since I...

    Genz Benz Sanity Check

    Hi All, Before I pull the trigger on a major purchase I wanted to make sure I've explored all my options. I have a pair of 4ohm Avatars (B210 Neo's) that I used to power with a SansAmp/Crown pre/power amp setup. I ran that for 2 years or so, but I limited my self to only being able to use the...

    Ampeg PF350/500 Part V

    I had the cutting out issue when using a 4 ohm cab (or two 8 ohm cabs). I never had the cut out with the one matching cab. Once I learned how to use the 500 correctly ( that is to dial in the gain properly and not over EQ), I haven't had the cut out issue happen. Two gigs so far with the 115HE...

    Ampeg PF350/500 Part V

    Well, I finally got to gig with my pf500/pf115he/pf115lf rig over the weekend. Some quick observations: -Tone, tone and more tone! -Just as I had hoped, the LF added some (much needed) depth to the overall sound of the pf500 -Running the 500 at 4ohms all night had no ill effects. In fact, I...
