Been way to long since I've gotten together with our band. Life and work have a way of interfering with stuff. Great jam today with this rig. Fender CS Master Built Jazz, Mesa into Orange goodness.
It's a 1937 series 2x12, from the 80's. (Pretty sure it's been recovered since then) Made for the JCM 800 combo to sit on top of. It's a little wider than the 1936 2x12 cabs as well as the combo.
Apologies for a brief derail... It sits beneath this.
#86 has arrived. As in "86 any ideas about drowning out THIS bad boy."
Albeit at lower volume with this particular 8 ohm "bass" cab... Into this closed back cab, it sounds glorious!
so... I've been selling gear lately, "to thin the herd..."
I can happily say that after Fed Ex stops off at my house tomorrow, the thinned herd will now be +1. :D
More importantly, I'm re-energized to dive back into playing again!! Thanks to @agedhorse, everyone involved, and everyone here!
Worth trying your rig at school to see if the hum is there. Or at home. Could help narrow things down. I've used a Morley Hum Exterminator and it's worked well. Another thing to try is a higher quality ac cord. (not to imply yours is not). I had an issue with an Ashdown head once and that...
Thanks!! I acquired maybe 6 months ago, but it needed a little bit of work. Oct 66 Jazz neck, original P pickup. It came with the original lollipop tuners, but currently has Schallers and a D bender thing. I had my local tech put in the stacked pots and replace the DOA J pickup with a Duncan...
Haven't had a chance to play in a while due to work/life/etc. But had a chance to get this rig together today in hopes of some time with my band soon. '62 Bassman head, '66 P/J, and trusty Orange 1x15. Catalinbread WiiO helps to bring the extra oomph.
If I recall, I thought they sounded good. Beefier. For some reason, I think I landed on some Tung Sol 5881's in there. Sorry, it's been a minute and I'm not recalling much else! If the coffee kicks in and jogs my memory, will advise!
I did via one of these. I wasn't blown away. If anything, I found running both channels felt "cluttered", if that makes sense. I prefer using one channel at a time. Of course, everyone's ears and needs are different.
