thanks, that is very helpful

thanks Axtman do you know, were the buttonvtops on the later 4001's the same/similar to the ones used on the 4003's?

did the pickups in this model change over the years? I could not find much information on this, but it looks like they changed from toasters to buttontops over the years ( if you compare the pickups in McCartney's 60's 4001 to Geddy Lee's 70's 4001). does anyone have any info or a link that...

thanks for the responses so far -- yes, I am looking for a colored sound to combine with DI tracks. Other than different from Ampeg SB12, I'm not quite sure how to describe what I'm after. If the SB12 is more vintage Motown, I'm looking for more vintage Entwistle, late 60's/early 70's rock...

Hi everyone. I've been searching the forum and grown interested in using a Traynor YBA-1 head as a recording amp with a variety of different basses. What cab/speaker would you recommend for this set-up? If it matters, I've already got an Ampeg SB-12 that I use for recording, and I'm...
