Thanks, I'll let you know. I probably won't get the cabinet I ordered for months though. I'll have to mess around with the head using a different speaker. Hey G-Dog, it's great to see you have a Höfner too. How would you describe the interaction between the two in comparison to other amplifiers...

This thread has made me nervous Fender Bassman 500 Head Issues ?

Hi, I just got a used Bassman 800 put on hold for me at Long & McQuade in the closest bigger city for $699 CDN. It looks mint but it was originally purchased 5 years ago and then traded in in January. Anything I should look for in these older models? Any issues? I ordered a Bassman 115 from my...

There is a Westone "The Rail" available on ebay WESTONE THE RAIL Japan Vintage 1980's Electric Bass Guitar japan jp rare | eBay

Westone Thunder II bass Version 3 (1983 on) As shown in the 1983 catalogue. It was first instrument I ever bought. It was around 1984 and I was probably 15 years old. It was 2nd hand and it had the "silver pearl" finish, which was really kinda pink in my books. It came with a broken toggle...

No problem at all. . This does give me pause. I might try finding a 500 if I can. It should be sufficient for me and I can save a few bones. As you can tell by my bass choice I'm not much of a "cranker". Thanks again.

This did indeed contribute to my gross oversimplification. Apparently I was misled into erring.

Thanks so much for the information Bassjam. It really is very kind of you. If you would like to, and can spare the time to post some sound clips that would be so helpful. (Especially if you have a bass with flats) I went to my small local music store yesterday and tried the Rumble 200 combo...

Thanks so much, that really helps. I wish there were more sound clips or videos of these amps and cabs.

Is this what a Bassman 4x10 really sound like? Or does it sound like this? Does the Bassman 115 sound like the Vanderkley one here?

Hi, could you possibly describe the differences tone-wise between the Bassman 115 and the 4X10 since you seem to have both? I'll looking to get a Bassman 800 and one of these cabs and would like any information on them from someone who has played them both. Thank you. Right now I'm playing a a...

Hello, sorry to revive an old thread but I'm thinking of maybe getting a Bassman 800 with a Bassman cab after I sell my Mesa Walkabout Scout, and was wondering if anyone has compared the Bassman Neo 4x10 to the 115 cabinet? My Walkabout with a single 12" speaker gets a little too ugly in the...

The full thickness may not go on the tuning post, but its way too close, and you end up getting no silk on the E and G and very little on the D and A. Here they are on sneha1965's beautiful club. The fact that its not a real tailored Hofner set as they say bugs me. Every other set I've tried...

Thanks so much HaphAsShard, I'm sorry, when I said that the "D'Addario site also proves that a stainless steel roundwound string has less tension then the same pure nickel string" I was referring to to their Pro Steel vs. Pure Nickel guitar strings as that seemed the closest to a Apple to...
