Thanks all. Going to try the chromes to start since @CrimsonGhost seems more than a bit familiar with what I'm looking for. The username was a hint too, lol. I appreciate everyone's time and feedback. If these don't do it, I'll review the recommended rounds and follow up in case it's of use to...

Will add those to my list. Have done a lot of business with GHS when it comes to my six strings. Will keep that in mind but until I get in a band or something changes, likely going to be stuck with the 212 for now. Lots of folks likened it to a close approximation to an 8x10 in a smaller...

Hey guys, I'm a guitar player looking to be able to record my own songs and even play out again on bass. I could just use a "breather" of sorts on guitar. Anyways, I have a 63 P Bass Reissue and an Ampeg v4b reissue with the 212 cab. I'm wondering about a set of strings. My p came strung up...

As luck would have it, I heard back from the folks at Yorkville who recommended “part number 7336 (DESC:15" 8R 225WPGM SPEAKER).” Unfortunately for me, Google isn’t being helpful right now. I’m out of town, I’ll still follow up with measurements once I’m home in case this thread is of use to...

Here's some info from the manual that came with the amp: The original 15" 8 ohm speaker is rated for 100W with a 54 oz ferrite magnet. The amp rates RMS power 45W pre-clipping, 80W full-clipping. The closed-back cabinet has a volume of about 1.8 cu ft (23" x 17" x 8") with two circular 3.25"...

Drat. Well I appreciate you weighing in, nonetheless. I appreciate the recommendation! Indeed. I had a YGM that was great at doing the Deluxe Reverb or Vox thing (somewhere in the middle and aside from a bright cap being snipped, I liked it stock). I will need to figure out how to measure...

I appreciate the depth of your reply. I did try searching this out on my own. I’ve had good experiences on this forum in the past so didn’t think I’d ruffle any feathers - oh well, haha. Sorry! I enjoy the dig about guitar players - I am indeed a guitar player who is just trying to record my...

I think at the time and within their means, they did. But that was a long time ago. I think most Traynor users can speak with confidence that well designed circuits or not, the stock speakers leave much to be desired regardless of using it for guitar or bass. I’m not sentimental about keeping...

Hey guys, Adding a YBA4 combo to the stable for me to use for recording/practice in my room. I’m looking for a good speaker to upgrade the marsland. It seems to be a “sealed back” for what it’s worth. I’m looking for classic tones - my favorite tone is the great, punchy p bass tone on tons of...

I've got this covered - thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks all. To those recommending to stick with the P, I get it - I'm fortunate enough to be able to look around for a new feel and have really come to enjoy playing bass regularly. When I was a kid, I was almost the bass player by default but somehow wound up on guitar but I always wondered...

They banned me from TheGearPage for asking there so… 😂

Hahaha, I’m at a loss for words. I certainly meant no disrespect.

Hey dudes, I’m working on a new project and looking for some input. I’m working on some Stonesy style tunes (think Exile and bits of Sticky Fingers - Grimy!!!) and I’m looking for a lo-fi, “crappy” bass tone sort of like Bill Wyman or any Nuggets bands. I’ve got a 62 p bass reissue but it’s a...

I was leaning toward them too but the few responses about microphonic and other issues made me think I oughta run it by the experts here. So far the clips I’ve heard definitely support the recommendation! They’re not too pricy either.
