I posted this in another thread, but sharing here as well. Enjoying the heck outta this GK head!

Nice too be back in a practice room today. This rig was able to move some air!

Posted this in another thread, but felt apropos here as well. Mesa in Orange 2x10 and 1x15 goodness!

Been way to long since I've gotten together with our band. Life and work have a way of interfering with stuff. Great jam today with this rig. Fender CS Master Built Jazz, Mesa into Orange goodness.

It's a 1937 series 2x12, from the 80's. (Pretty sure it's been recovered since then) Made for the JCM 800 combo to sit on top of. It's a little wider than the 1936 2x12 cabs as well as the combo. Apologies for a brief derail... It sits beneath this.

#86 has arrived. As in "86 any ideas about drowning out THIS bad boy." Albeit at lower volume with this particular 8 ohm "bass" cab... Into this closed back cab, it sounds glorious!

so... I've been selling gear lately, "to thin the herd..." I can happily say that after Fed Ex stops off at my house tomorrow, the thinned herd will now be +1. :D More importantly, I'm re-energized to dive back into playing again!! Thanks to @agedhorse, everyone involved, and everyone here!

As do I. They mess up my scissor kicks and play hell with my knee slides.

Worth trying your rig at school to see if the hum is there. Or at home. Could help narrow things down. I've used a Morley Hum Exterminator and it's worked well. Another thing to try is a higher quality ac cord. (not to imply yours is not). I had an issue with an Ashdown head once and that...

Perhaps a vintage 80's Boss Bass Flanger? Preferably in mint condition, with box/manual, of course. :D

Thanks!! I acquired maybe 6 months ago, but it needed a little bit of work. Oct 66 Jazz neck, original P pickup. It came with the original lollipop tuners, but currently has Schallers and a D bender thing. I had my local tech put in the stacked pots and replace the DOA J pickup with a Duncan...

Haven't had a chance to play in a while due to work/life/etc. But had a chance to get this rig together today in hopes of some time with my band soon. '62 Bassman head, '66 P/J, and trusty Orange 1x15. Catalinbread WiiO helps to bring the extra oomph.

If I recall, I thought they sounded good. Beefier. For some reason, I think I landed on some Tung Sol 5881's in there. Sorry, it's been a minute and I'm not recalling much else! If the coffee kicks in and jogs my memory, will advise!

SWEET! I'm psyched to revisit this!

I did via one of these. I wasn't blown away. If anything, I found running both channels felt "cluttered", if that makes sense. I prefer using one channel at a time. Of course, everyone's ears and needs are different.

Oh man. Throw in the re-tube and that gets even more complex. I don't envy you as you don't really have a wrong decision. In addition to the 1x15 in the photos earlier, at home I've stacked mine on an Orange mini 2x10 and it looks and sounds really good. Sounds like an amazing collection...

That is a tough one. I'd say go for it, knowing that if you don't connect with the ACB, it would be easy to get another Ampeg rig down the road. I had both at one point, and sold the SVT head. Just too heavy. The ACB isn't "easy" to move, but it's much easier. I use the casters, but then...

Friday night gig in Austin. This was the first time I gigged the ACB (with a 1x15 ext cab). Not the cleanest tone, but that was aok with me as tube grind was exactly what I was after. No mic or DI was even needed. It was actually dirty enough that I didn't have to kick in EQ or boost. So...

Used this rig last night. Loud mic'd guitar, and mic'd drums. Sound guy quickly ascertained this needed no DI or mic. Only pedals were occasional fuzz and/or flanger. Sounded great! (I backed off the bass dial a bit)

Simply amazing! Y'all killed it!!!

I own one. It is a cool looking and great sounding bass. I had the good folks at Sweetwater put some Roto's on. In the vid attached, at about 9:00 Anthony has a pic of the chambering.

Well THAT is a good question this morning. And a good learning for me as I've just learned that the HE is 8 ohms and HLF is 4. I (wrongfully) assumed all Ampeg 4x10's were 4 ohms and just plugged and played at 4. Best I can tell, it was was a HLF. But good lesson for me as I usually don't...

It seems odd to "like" this situation... great pix - hope it turns out aok. Great posts, btw.

Done! :D Just plain ol' Sex Pistols Docs. Seems appropo for the gig.

Nice to get out and play tonight. 80's Fender Jazz Special into a 100T. Sweet 4x10 was backline. GK was there as backup, but not needed.

Love that mic!! (perhaps the first time ever in TB that reply has been uttered.):D p.s. killer rig, too!!

It indeed is the ACB50! I'd say similar (at least 80%) with the 100T on the vintage channel. To my ear the 100T has a bit more low end presence. Could be the wattage difference, it also could be the cab. Admittedly, I didn't spend nearly as much time as I would've liked... W*rk inserted...

Used this at rehearsal last night. Swapped an Edison for the Double Down to allow for two amps at the end of the chain.

Got to stretch out a bit yesterday in the big room at our rehearsal space. Too much firepower for both rigs at an upcoming gig, but man it sounded nice. I split the signal to both amps using a Double Down at the end of my pedalboard.

Rats. I really didn't need to hear this... I may need to order a 2nd.

Question - at times do you run both simultaneously? Or choose one, depending on the song.

This will sound ridiculous, but try a different power cable? Even if you're using the one it shipped with. I had a noise issue a few years back with an Ashdown head. I don't recall if it was intermittent with one aspect of the amp, but it solved things. I know seems ridiculous, but worth a try.

Welp, I guess that answers the question "What gear should I shop for today?" :laugh:

Killer rig x2! Those Ampeg SVT 212s amazing, I've yet to hear anything that doesn't sound fabulous through one. (Funny - I too, like my 100t better than the SB. But the SB is much more reliable, ime)

Pretty well, actually. High marks in portability and ease of set up. Not "quite" the same as a single 4x10. But close enough for me. These days weight of a cab is something I think of more and more. (particularly after lugging 1x15's last night.) Thanks for asking as I'd forgotten...

Sweet! The PPB is one of my faves. I may need a PPBxB.

whoa! Great rig and great gig!!

Trying out this set up. Pedal on the left is a JHS Clover, emblazoned with sticker from a favorite place to gig.

Nice looking bass, and rig! Question; do you run your Sanamp into your GK? Or is one for FOH and the other for stage?

Curious - what is the color of that P? (looks amazing!)
