Today I put the black pg on the JO. Just recieved a new tort from Jeannies as well, but i'm going to sport the black for a while.
Here's my little corner of fun:bassist: Here's Joe N Bob. FYI-The Mesa is hooked up to the Berg and the GK runs through the Aggie.

To be honest, i'm still getting acquainted with it. I've only had it for about 3 weeks and haven't used it in another setting other than at-home practice.
So far I like it a lot. Since I gave my son my Ampeg B-100R combo(that I absolutely adored), I was looking for a fairly inexpensive 115 combo, and didn't want a current Ampeg.
In short, I really like it. It's quite loud without breaking up(250watts) and I can dial in a pretty good traditional tone, as well as a zingy, modern tone using the eq.
Surprisingly, I like the overdrive too, except when using the onboard compression, the volume drops a bit when switching from clean to overdrive. I don't really use the "shape" circuit much. It gives it more "girth" to the sound, but to me, it's almost too bassy.... and I like bassy, but it's almost overbearing at times and smoothes the sound out a bit much, to my ears. I'm not a huge fan of the tiltback cab design, but that's just personal. Also wish it had a mute switch.

Sorry I can't really give you a more thorough review, but it's a heck of a combo for just a sliver over $500.
It does exactly what I need it to do, and I wouldn't hesitate to gig it.

Don't get me wrong, it's no Mesa Walkabout Scout combo, but it's a solid piece.

Guys, if you happen to visit the factory some time soon please make a teaser shot of a Translucent Burgundy 55-07CSHH body that's hanging around there. That one is my friend's. It may be accompanied (but I think yet not coupled) to a fretted unmarked ebony fbd. neck

Finally!:bassist:
and the very first one in Russia

Doug, *every* time I'm away for a while you get a new bass!

Super nice acquisition. I wish the pups were the same non-symmetrical form as the ones on the Fender, but I'm pretty sure that everything else would make me weak in the knees...

EDIT: Waitup. I guess I've been gone longer than I thought. What's that one hanging on the extreme left?

oh my god. Poutine is tops! I went to school near the Canadian border, and my family is French-Canadian. Poutine has been a big part of my life

It's been sorta spreading south of late. Obviously, there's a lot of it in Florida now (gotta keep all those French-Canadians overflowing their Speedos *somehow*...) and I've seen it in NYC, where it was called 'disco fries.'

Damn. I haven't been to NYC in a few years...

At first, I gagged at the image of it. Then I thought... hmm it's potatoes n gravy. That's not bad! But what's w/ the curd?? Is that like cottage cheese?
Click to expand...

Straight-up cheese curds. Some places try to make it fancy with mozzarella and stuff, but the true trad poutine is fries, cheese curds and gravy. The cravy goes on last, as that's what melts the curds into the fries.

By the gods, I'm getting hungry...

Thanks for the review.
I'm considering picking up a 210 Hydrive combo
