    Mesa Subway D-350!

    Well, I’ve had some time to play with the new amp. I’m cancelling the order for the PF-50 tomorrow. I just can’t believe that I’d like anything better than this! I’d like to hear it with a Mesa or Barefaced cab but I’m really enjoying it with the SVT212. This thing is awesome!!! Joe

    Mesa Subway D-350!

    I got my D350 and hooked it up to the SVT212 cab. All I can say is WOW! I’ve never had anything this powerful but beyond that, the tone is incredible. I can only describe it as rich. I’ve quickly tried my P-bass with flats, my L2K, and my SB-1. They all sound wonderful and I haven’t even...

    Mesa Subway D-350!

    I have not. My current amp is a Fender Studio 40 and it doesn’t have an output for an external cab. That’s what’s driving me crazy! I’ve had the cab for a year and haven’t been able to hear it!

    Mesa Subway D-350!

    I ordered an Ampeg PF-50t and a SVT 212AV cab a year ago. I got the cab 2 days later but I’m still waiting on the amp. Has anyone tried the D350 with a SVT 212? Obviously, after a year, it’s too late to return the cab but I’d really like to at least hear it! I might try a D350 if it would...

    P Bass, Ray, G&L or other?

    +1 on G&L but I don’t own a MM bass. I’ve got a Tribute JB2 and American made L2K and SB1. The L2K would be more versatile for you and I love mine. But that passive MFD P pickup on the SB1 (and SB2) is incredible. Even though it’s passive, you won’t have any problem driving the front end of...

    HOT AMPEG NEWS! PF20T, PF50T, PF112HLF

    Anyone know if Ampeg is even making any PF50s? I’ve had one on order from Sweetwater since 12/30/21. I’ve got a SV212 I got in January that’s going to be out of warranty before I even get to plug it in. Joe

    Warm Cab Help (PF115he vs SVT212av)

    I’ve had a 212AV sitting in my basement since January. It hasn’t even been connected to an amp because the stupid PF-50t is still back ordered!! I’m really looking forward to hearing it! Joe

    Ernie Ball Cobalt Flats rust issue

    Cobalt Flats rust for me. Many have suggested it’s a body chemistry thing since some have the problem and others don’t. They sounded great but were nasty in just a few weeks. Joe

    DIY bass preamp ?

    If you haven’t already, you might want to check out Diyaudio. It’s mostly hi-fi stuff but they do have a forum for instrument amps. I think a lot of that is people messing with commercial amps but I would guess if there are any kits or boards out there, someone on that forum will know. I’m...

    First bass amp suggestion

    If your beagles are anything like mine, you need every bit of that 700 watts when they’re awake! Beagles are the best!! Joe

    Is your favorite bass not your most expensive one?

    Well, I’ve got a option order L2K that I love. I’ve got a Tribute JB-2 that I love. I’ve got a Mexican P-Bass Special Deluxe (passive) with Fralin pickups that I love. Yes, my least expensive bass is my favorite…when I’m playing it! My most expensive bass is my favorite when I’m playing it...

    G&L Club Part 7

    I’ve got a tangerine SB-1 with a 1.5” neck on order right now. We’re getting pretty close to 6 months now. That’s not the custom shop, just the option order. I’m expecting to hear it’s ready just about any day now. Joe
