How'd it sound? Heavy?

Yeah, but we had 'roadies' at each venue.

 

[Syd Rayne]

I wondered what that screw hole was for.

 

[GonePlaid]

Once upon a time, bass meant bass.

Yup.

 

[Stealth57]

They don’t call it a mid.

 

[GonePlaid]

They don’t call it a mid.

I use more mids these days than I used to, but I still want that gut stirring, 'original surround sound'(EDIT: (TM))tone.

Didn’t the Stones sing that?

I was hoping someone would do a parody and post it here. I couldn't get that song out of my head all day. It's almost

Goodbye, Tubey Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still, I'm gonna miss you

 

[JIO]

Missed a spot.

Yes, the one for-sure thing heard many times over a life as a painter... always a laugh riot. If I had a nickel...

 

[JIO]

Didn’t the Stones sing that?

We learned that in TSC's - the Melanie version. Never made it into a set. Regardless, love that song.

 

[JIO]

Great song - great kick-ass version - (P-bass... obviously)

In the early 2000’s I very briefly considered building basses for sale and profit but after a few minutes with a calculator realized I’d need to make and sell about 10 basses a week to quit my day job. Needless to say, I kept my day job. No regrets.

Hah - I do it because I'm an artist and don't know any better!

The only difference I can see between them is the V4-BH has a five position mid switch and the new V4-B reissue has a 3 position switch like the old ones and both have gain and master volume controls and none of the 70's heads did. If you really want to know the definitive difference though try @ beans-on-toast, he's in the B-15 thread all the time, he knows the differences if any from the 70's heads and the new ones and probably the two different V4-B reissues, I think they tried to emulate the tone from the old ones the best they could.
I had no problem with the tone of my V4-B just the headroom, it sounded very similar to an SVT, I would imagine the new ones do too, SVT's can sound big and creamy also, mine do if I want them to.

I love the Ampeg conversation, but I will reply in a PM so we don't bore the "unbelievers."

God's country...just breathtaking...unfortunately I was never able to see it in the summer but imagined it must have been stunning, thanks for posting!

I’m a believer in both Mesa and Ampeg. Two completely different sounds. Both wonderful.
