RAD. If Darth Vader Played bass, that's the one he would rock- Entwistle style!

Apologies if it’s been mentioned, but I just love John Ciambotti’s playing and tone with the P on Elvis Costello’s My Aim Is True album. I believe a different session player recorded watching the detectives, but it’s John everywhere else. Another thing to consider, at least for live playing, is...

I haven’t posted for years, but I’m compelled to report that after 6 years of hard playing, I haven’t had a single hiccup with my Walkabout head. It’s absolutely the most reliable, best sounding, gigging amp I’ve played. Anymore, I just leave the thing flat, other than small tweaks once in a...

I've owned a blackface Walkabout for about a year now, and I'm so happy I gave up the big iron. I prefer it most times over my Mesa 400 with KT-88's. I play it through 1 or 2(as needed) 1x15's with Eminence 3015's. I finally got a chance to do a recording session with it, and through the...

I totally agree about the P bass. These speakers really translate the mids well and P's are all about the mids. I played Ampegs for a while with mine and they sounded great live with the P, the mids bumped a little at 300hz, and into the gain a good bit. Keep an eye out for another cab, cause...

If you bought the 3015 brand new, you'll really start liking it after about 20 hrs of play. I built 2 1x15's with them, about 3.2 cu ft volume each, and I just love them.

I agree with Luke. My D.I.Y. 1x15's with 3015's (non-lf) just sing with the walkabout. I don't know what i'd do with more power, it's so loud already. Mine are VERY similar to GB uber 115's, but built with lightweight materials. Here's a ridiculous statement, but I'll say it anyway- "I may never...

Its also easier on the truss rod itself to take the string tension off the neck before adjusting, its possible to snap the rod if tightening against the strings.

Just played 4 hours with the band. Not gonna go long winded here, because there are thousands of posts here already glowing over the WA. But I have to say that this was the most satisfied with my tone I have ever been, live with a band. I was so impressed by how present it was in the mix...

I just received a fully warrantied 3015 from Eminence (kudos to their customer service) and re-assembled my other 1x15. So- stacked 2x115's, at 4 ohms, is just so sweet with the Walkabout. I'm learning the EQ more now and found a little cut at 30hz-40hz on the parametric tightens up the bottom...

That wire they fixed was probably the tube warmer circuit, it has a tendency to fail at the solder joint. Very common on Mesa 400/400+. Otherwise they are totally bomb proof, as they run well inside their design parameters(according to the amp tech I use), are super loud, relatively light, and...

So I bought a blackface Walkabout from peteybass (great TB'er) a few days ago, and I just can't stop playing it!!! It has the updates done, so I don't know if thats what it is, but I find it to be really powerful at 8ohm through my 3015 equipped 1x15. I play a Mesa 400 (kt88's) on big stages...

I really liked the cobalts early on, but I noticed the fret wear was worse than other strings. That and they got really "rusty" and nasty fast with my sweat. I also really like rotos when they break into the sweet spot, but they dont stay there long for me. Dunlop Marcus Miller steel seems to be...
