Oooh, very nice! Metallic blue was the runner up for me because I heard it really looks captivating due to the color changing with the lighting.

It's a Skyline and it does have a jazz neck. I have very small hands, so this helps me getting access to the frets higher up the neck and is the reason I wanted the custom 44-64. 44-60 is a jazz bass, correct?

First impressions (and kind of comparing it to my main axe, a Music Man Caprice) This is a chunky boy; the weight of the body keeps it balanced just fine, no neckdive. Both an advantage and a disadvantage Perfectly set up as mentioned earlier Pickups are HOT; very authoritative tone Heard good...

New owner here. Been GASsing for one for years. Set up to perfection straight out of the box. :D It needed to be the candy apple red one because Duck that's why.

I have a rather stupid addition: just found out the Ultra Lo switch is a three way switch. This I found out after a frustrating afternoon in a barn where I could not seem to keep with the rest. The switch must have been errr switched to another setting (let's call it the no-lo setting), losing...

It was the cab. Here to help.

V7 Pulled the trigger on the V7, had it for a little under a month now. Two gigs, one with one VB-210 cab, one with two, lots of rehearsing at home with one cabinet at low volume, approximately 30 to 120 minutes daily, sometimes at a stretch, sometimes divided over the day. First impressions...

Yes, it definitely sounds good. I pair my PF500 with either one or two 8 Ohm cabs (2x10), depending on what volume is needed. It will pump out 300 watts in one, and the full 500 into two. A 300 watt 410 should do the trick just fine and safely.

I'm unsure whether Ampeg would like to advertise this, but two women from the first gig with the VB-210 in October turned up pregnant yesterday. The math adds up. Undisputed potency I'd say. Other than this, my stack receives at least one compliment on the sound quality from sound guys every...

Hello, I can get my hands on an Ashdown ABM EVO iii for around 350 bucks, footswitch included. Not quite as dirt cheap as some of the lucky owners here posted, but it seems like a good and realistic deal, correct? I play light jazz to very loud metal, small to medium venues with a comparable...

I stacked both horizontally and vertically and found no difference in volume or tone as I play 5-10 meters away from my cabs so the sound has space to fan out. This way I can hear everybody in the band. Possibly there is a perceivable difference at closer range. Concerning the mids: in order to...

I'm growing increasingly happy with this setup. I got to take it out for a ride a couple of times now with two different bands and the PF-500 is really starting to grow on me even more. No cutouts or problems whatsoever. Great punchy tones in the mix and such, especially once I learned how to...

So I've got the funds covered and I have been drooling all over the internet for bass heads to pair with my two VB-210 cabs. The V7 is an option, but I can also get my hands on an Ashdown ABM600 Evo IV or a Mesa Boogie M-Pulse 600. V4-B is also still an option. Completely different animals all...

That's why I'm looking for a main amp still. I have yet to find out whether this PF-500 is from the batch that dies mid gig. So far it has not been cutting out.
