    Peavey VB-2 bass amp

    Anyone own or have used one of these? I'd like to go to an all tube amp but can't afford an AMPEG CL or any high priced amp. I've heard some goods things and they are in my price range. I always liked Peavey products but not sure about this one.

    Which should I upgrade first?

    It sounds like your main axe is the 4 - string. I can tell you that before i went to a five string i really loved my Ampeg B115.Not so much tho w/ the 5 string.

    What backup bass should I get

    Peavey makes several decent mid priced basses. I recently bought a 5 string Washburn (Force 5) for $475.00 new. If the 4 string version is equal then you will be impressed ( just make sure you go to heavier guage strings).

    Low B string trouble

    Sorry, been away for awhile, just catching up now.The vibration in my Washburn B string WAS caused by the string not being properly in the groove.All i did was push down hard on the string right at the groove. Also went to .130 guage string. Much better tension but may go to .135 next for even...

    Trying Flats for the first

    OK, so assuming that Flats have a longer life than Rounds . Would that mean that Half rounds would last somewhwere in the middle? Bout to change from rounds to 1/2 rounds and it sure would be nice to know. Thanxz

    when strings lose their zing

    i used to boil my strings just once before buying a new set.active electronics may play into this discussion as well. i found that the strings i was using (mostly ghs) would retain their brightness for almost as long as it took for them to go "dead " in the first place. go figure!
