It looks like we're headed for another thread now that we've crossed the 1000-posts threshold on TalkBass. Thanks to everybody on the V-AMP Squad and all the others for going the distance with me. IMHO, all one needs is a brief encounter with a Bass V-AMP Pro and my "Quick Start Guide" and then you will meet your new favorite tone machine.

Cheers!

I just stumbled upon this thread. I own one and love it. I considered using it live with the exact configuration as you did except I would have ran it through my SWR cabs. I own a GK800RB and when it had to go into the shop I just about bought a clean power amp and ran it as the preamp. Instead I bought the Bugera Nuke. I can't get tones on the V-amp like those I get from the Nuke... for that matter I've never heard tone like this from any other amp... Ampeg included. The striking difference the Nuke has over its rivals is that it is so friggin clean at loud volumes. I can't get dirt out of it no matter how I adjust the knobs. You might think this is a bad thing... but when people hear how clean my amp is and how rich the overtones are through my SWR cabs they take notice. I get a lot more people asking me about my gear since running the Nuke than I ever did with the GK.

I use my bass V-amp pro mostly for recording. It's a down and dirty way of getting a quality bass sound on tape. I love it. How many people out there know that the Bass V-amp Pro is more than a bass pre-amp. It emulates a keyboard amp as well as a guitar amp modeler as well. It has about 8 of the most popular guitar amp models as well as 4 accoustic amp models. You have a nice guitar amp rig there too sport... Enjoy it!

My BVP is about to take on some additional importance in my music room.

I have analyzing my music progression and I think I am getting a little too gear crazy in the way of pedals. I enjoy exploring my sonic options, but I think it is distracting me from my goal to learn how to play irish, klezmer and gospel tunes with proficiency.

Time to simply!

There sure is a lot of fun tightly packed inside the V-AMP's 2-rack spaces and my floor remains clutter-free :-)

Cheers!

The BVP gives me a good preamp and a reasonably good reverb. It gives me an FX loop for my tremolo and delay pedals. And I've been learning more how to use the compressor correctly.

I use my BVP far more often with a Dobro or Tele than with bass.

+1 on the V-Amp for recording, especially guitar. It's a real quick and easy way of getting the finished guitar sound you want straight into your interface to record it without using up CPU with plugins. Obviously this means you can't go back and change things around so much on mixdown, though.

I haven't found a guitar sound yet that you can't get with the BVP. On the other hand, I'm a lousy guitarist and I'm sure someone more discerning could disagree.
