Yeah, to me, they don't sound particularly different from really worn out rounds. And I don't like the feel, despite playing upright bass as well. On fretted electric bass, they just feel weird to me.

And I don't need ****...but I want this...even though I know nothing about it. It's just cheap and fairly clean looking. Old Peavey stuff always makes me happy, too...

So those "goofy" Mesa Tube heads? The Strategy is 465watts....four hundred and sixty-five. 4.6.5. 
the 465-watt Bass Strategy Eight:88 (top) and the 260-watt Bass Prodigy Four:88. Both are powered by KT88 tubes and have active EQ shaping controls.

Ha! Yup. I've had bassists from other bands we've played with warn me about it in a very concerned manner before. They look at me like I'm crazy when I say "well it sounds good. Plus, hey, free light show"
i've discovered i hate playing any other basses but ricks. this sucks so bad for my financial prospects.
Also, one of the new output tubes has a slightly purpleish glare at the bottom of the bottle when the amp is on. I am a wee bit concerned.
It also blew two fuses on saturday morning. Has been seemingly fine since then.
well that suggests something is wrong but the glow in tube itself, fine. Depends on what the source is, if your hammering on the amp, and the tubes glows blue/white, that is the screens taking some abuse. Normal you would say but shows that you are being hard on it. Blue arcing lighting = **** is going to die, that is something electrically arcing. Deep Deep Red color = red plating, exceeding plate dissipation limit.
my brand new Sovtek KT88s in my 100w head i've recently had retubed glow blue like crazy. never seen such a vivid glowing before.
hey, a video i didn't know existed of us. same gig as last time.

flights would be about $6000NZD return to the US for all of us, haha. that is, if we funded ourselves.
we have thought about it though. we're hoping to continue as we are, refine our songs and style more, whip up some great recordings and do a split record with someone via the magic of the internet - then maybe all our wildest dreams will come true and someone will actually fly us over for a tour. it's not some greedy 'make it big!' musicians pipe dream instilled in us by traditional parents or anything, we would just love to be able to play for as many people as humanly possible, tour around in a smelly van with other doom-bros and see countries other than our tiny isolated island nation!
