    Are higher priced Fenders really worth it?

    NOTHING beats an American Fender...

    That's why NOTHING can beat an AMERICAN made Fender!

    i fell in love with this PJ bass...

    It comes up as a SDOTD quite often for about $100 bucks off. Looks great, never played one yet...but it's still a Mexi! Lol

    Buyer wants to return non-defective bass as "defective"

    "the strings don't vibrate and neck and saddles need adjustment just to play. "***?!?! Needs a setup! Which is NOT included, not even on a $10,000 Les Paul! What a tool. Dude, if all this has been through the eBay email system, dude, ITS STRAIGHT UP BLACKMAIL! You can't allow this to happen...

    Buyer wants to return non-defective bass as "defective"

    Man, I read this again, and I'm still steaming for you bro! They're trying to blackmail you for extra stuff, jaded threats, and even the gall for help in finding another bass so he can return this one?!?! 1. Setups DO NOT come with a guitar purchase. I expect to setup a BRAND NEW Rick or Fender...

    Buyer wants to return non-defective bass as "defective"

    shag this guy AND his bastard church. Looks like they have buyers remorse, and also that someone else is pulling this guys strings. Offer NOTHING. Deal is done and over with. Don't even offer to work with ******** like this, they're just trying to get as much as they can from you. Your emails...

    NAD, New Guy, and a DEAL ALERT: Ampeg PF800 Mint Open Box $329.97

    Ha! I've actually been playing around with the Ric O Sound on my 4003w as well with this setup! Never used it before, as imho, it's not really needed, and way too much gear is needed to use it, basically I don't think it's a practical thing. But it is fun to play around with at the house! I'm...

    NAD, New Guy, and a DEAL ALERT: Ampeg PF800 Mint Open Box $329.97

    So...for everyone that got one, what's your overall reaction and feelings? Personally, I think it's a great lil amp, that def needs to be tweaked to get the tone you're after. As someone said, even at 800 watts, def not like a teeth rattling 300 watt SVT. But, by using it the way it's been...

    What’s your most expensive piece of gear?

    Plus, I thought this was TalkBass, not Talk Piano/etc! Lol

    What’s your most expensive piece of gear?

    Nothing too crazy, but I spent $2,200 or $2,300 on my Gibson 120th anniversary Thunderbird bass. My Rickenbacker 4003w was over 2 grand as well. Still can't beat the trusty ol' Fender jazz though! Best $1,600 bucks you could ever spend. Gotta have a spare too! Lol

    Suggestions for a bass amp : Fender Rumble 100 ? 200 ? Ampeg MICRO-VR Combo ? Else ?

    Dude, please tell me how you can give an opinion or review, without actually trying it out? That's like me telling you all about how it is to drive a Ferrari, even though I've never even stood next to one. And as far as the bedroom comment, this is the perfect post. The Micro-VR is AWESOME at...

    Suggestions for a bass amp : Fender Rumble 100 ? 200 ? Ampeg MICRO-VR Combo ? Else ?

    Exactly, you've never played any higher end Ampeg models, therefore, you can't really say a thing about them. As a bass player, it's kind of amusing you've never even tried one, as Ampeg is THE 1st name in bass amplification, and has been for years. I kinda feel sorry for you in the sense that...

    The Micro-CL is a joke...its a toy that sounds horrible

    Ampeg Micro VR

    Yeah...play your bass. You won't hear it then.

    Best options for faulty XLR - Ampeg Micro VR

    Imo opinion, it's always good to keep a DI box in your emergency bag, just in case. Half the time, the house has a box as well. But for the cheap cost, it's a worthy investment.

    Suggestions for a bass amp : Fender Rumble 100 ? 200 ? Ampeg MICRO-VR Combo ? Else ?

    I've had my Micro-VR for a couple of years now. I can def tell you it's not a toy, that it's really a professional level bass rig. Yeah, its not huge, but the sound and tone you get out of it is pure buttery Ampeg. Do NOT confuse this with the other little mini SVT they sell for like 350 bucks...

    NAD, New Guy, and a DEAL ALERT: Ampeg PF800 Mint Open Box $329.97

    Best $330 bucks I've ever spent. I put the one I got through a lot as soon as I got it. Played through it quite loud for at least an hour or more on many occasions, left it on all night, to coming back to it being fine. I really wanted to make sure everything was ok, since it was a return. I DEF...

    NAD, New Guy, and a DEAL ALERT: Ampeg PF800 Mint Open Box $329.97

    This warranty is for 3 extra years, and covers spills/drops, moisture, ANYTHING. Plus, if same problem occurs 3 times, you get a brand new one or equal store credit which you originally paid, even of it's 4 years and 11 months. Manufacturers warranty doesn't come close. I have no complaints or...

    Another 115He cab even if you do not need more volume?

    You should get the 210 if you already have the 115.

    Ampeg Portaflex 500 problems

    The 500s were/are known for overheating problems, among other things. Get rid of your 500, and get an 800.

    Portaflex 500 210 x 2 double stack

    I also rock the same setup: PF800, with 2, PF210 cabs. Sounds nice and tight. Got a super deal on the head (MF level 1 open box for $329!)...I just couldn't pass up a deal like that. Btw, its basically a new head, in perfect shape, I even got the warranty BS, since it was so cheap and "used"...

    NAD, New Guy, and a DEAL ALERT: Ampeg PF800 Mint Open Box $329.97

    Btw, I did finally end up getting mine this past Tuesday. Although, it came without a manual and was packed terribly (but in a real Ampeg box) Despite this, it's like a new amp. I can't find any problems/imperfections anywhere. And for $329 it's a steal, you can't even buy a used one for that...

    NAD, New Guy, and a DEAL ALERT: Ampeg PF800 Mint Open Box $329.97

    Also, I'm curious to this issue. Granted, I have 3 years of MF gold protection so I'm def not worried, just wondering if this is the norm... When I go to power on my PF800, NOTHING happens for about 4 or 5 seconds...the indicator light doesn't even come on. After this short startup time...

    NAD, New Guy, and a DEAL ALERT: Ampeg PF800 Mint Open Box $329.97

    Actually, that was meant for me! It was lost in transit for a few days, and instead of freaking out, I just ordered another one, and when this one turned up, it would automatically go back to MF. That "back order" was for that one to get back to them. You can't buy "used" cabs from the...
