    NE1 know where to find a nice early 70's V4B? Also, using a V4 for bass?

    Hey thx for the tip, that might just be a workable thing for me there ;-) I wonder what the tape legends mean, besides showing where to set the knobs, L R L Left Right Left, any ideas?

    The one in Dayton is kinda crazy priced, I see where nice ones sold for under $600 on CL here and there. The VT22 looks a newer amp than what I'm looking for, looks like it's got master volume which is a deal breaker for me. As far as vintage vs non... I don't mix the two.

    It's got to be the real made in USA vintage deal ;-) The combo idea is a bit tempting also, dang it! (need one of each?)

    How do you get your 810 around

    '95 Impreza wagon takes it just fine, and that's one of the smallest more modern Subaru wagons out there. I just picked up a rather memorable quote from a guy selling a vintage 810 cab, not exactly a sales pitch but... "This cab has almost killed people"

    Searching locally and on the www for a nice early 70's Ampeg V4B (or V4?) and not having any luck finding one, if only I'd been looking a week ago... before I needed one ;-) Maybe your local music store/pawn shop has one, if you could pass this on to me at; [email protected] Anyway, I...

    Whoa... who runs a head on 0 for bass and treble? Never heard of that. The EQ I decided I liked best with it was around 4 for each, with bass boost ON. I still couldn't get that fat smooth bass tone, that McCartney type sound, and I know it's not the bass. It gets it in an instant on my other...

    I opened the cab at about 10:30p last night, just when i thought I was done... and going to bed, but all the sudden just had to do it... with honey in the background sleepily saying "are you coming to bed?" ;-) Got the back off, 37 screws I think it was... and lo and behold, were Altecs. The...

    Wow, thx for all the great tips on this ;-) What about the E140's seen on eBay? Do you have a part # for the SS rectifier?

    "Any time you change output tubes you have to check and reset the bias." Yes, of course, you're right. Although I've put in lots over the years and never re-biased the amp, mostly Fenders, I never had to do anything to a vintage Marshall or other Brit amp. Another question, what is that 1/4"...

    Hi all, and... hmmm why am I here? Dang, I'm supposed to be outside working, wifey's gonna have my ass (again!). Damn ADD... Well it is useful to a point, allows for "extreme multitasking" ;-) Anyway, in the endless quest for bass coolness, and tone (comes second), I have been upgrading my...
