Yes. I liked to dial in one channel with nice fat lows and another with overdriven mids to get a nice blend of overdrive and low end. It takes a lot of knob turning but once you get a feel for how the amp works its not bad.

No not trick to setting it up 
. I got no sound when I plug into the A/B input. Both lights for the channel lights light up but no signal. Each work individually.

Well, I'm going off of my Monolith Magma, not real experience with a Beta, but the Magmas came with an A/B switch that you could use to switch channels or engage both. Maybe you need one for the Beta as well.
Pretty decent shot from last night.
I was wearing that same t-shirt yesterday.

Ampeg - unfortunately if the A+B input isn't working it's probably that is probably a problem with the amp. Ou should just be able to plug into that input and it goes.
Laz - everytime is see your EGC or any EGC at this point it makes me all that more anxious to get mine.
On that note, after a ton of setbacks Kevin told me that my bass will be the next one on the assembly line, so I really should be done sometime the upcoming week.

Oh damn it's February that EGC has been incubating for a while.
I'm anxious for my dually. I passed on the v4, I forgot I have my tube head project back home.

I FIXED IT!!!! . Opened it up and the jack for the "both" input was grounding to the jack on input "A". Just turned the jack and bam, all good. Figures it late and can't crank it

Peavey Mark IV + 2 1x15 BW cabs. Needed something for home and this was cheap. Haven't owned a Peavey since HS, feels good,
That is a sweet Peavey rig. Love it!

Nice stack, let me guess...it was either $150 or $345
Hello guys , been reading the stoner/doom thread for a while now but it's time to introduce myself.
I'm George from Greece , i play in a post-sludge/doom/drone project with some really good friends and i also gig with my main band playing beatdown/hardcore (cliche
).
To the point , right now i only own one bass , a custom jazz bass made by my father . Since i rehearse 2-3 times a week with both bands , i've been experimenting with strings so i could handle both bands, because the tunings are standard D and drop C so they are pretty close . The point is with all that drone stuff i tend to use a lot of chords, which hurts my hands if using the 4 bottom of a 5'er set i use with my hardcore band ( EB Super slinky 40-125) . Right now i use D'addario balanced tension 50-120 which is fine for thich C/D and G but thinner top strings , but they seem to be out of stock in all local stores near here .
So , after all this loooong post, what strings are u guys using , since the rest of the TB uses nothing but flats (jk) and i still search for something decent. Keep in mind local stores have like only 30 different sets for bass strings since the place is overcrowded with guitarists , and mostly fender, d'addario and Ernie ball , but if i find something worth trying , i can order through the internet.

hahah, 300.
Seemed fair for what I was getting. It's sat in his very nice house for a long time being played through by a Casio keyboard.
It's pretty damn clean and gets plenty loud and low.
I don't know what shipping from Circle K to Greece is like, but in my band we play in both Drop C and D standard and I use the same bass. I use the .124 drop tuning pack and they work fantastic for me.
I play with Circle K strings, dropped tuning, balanced tension. I looked at their chart and look at the tension for an E @ .105 and chose a string guage for C that had the same tension.
Not sure if that's the correct way, but I reeeeeally like those strings. If you live in Greece, though, the cost of shipping those out of Washington state, where Circle K is, might be cost prohibitive.
Can you get me a hoplite helmet and hoplon please?
Corinthian variation without a crest would be best.
