The Outpost Cafe / new band
« on: August 31, 2011, 05:16:12 AM »
i had both of my bands fall apart within a week of each other.i've been pretty bummed out since. jammed here and ther with a few people. and now i have a nice lil three piece. doing more of a RocknRoll punk thing. kinda Hellacopters meets Motorhead meets Radio Birdman meets the Ramones meets Rocket from the Crypt. it's cool to play something thats not superfast hardcore for a change. i even steal a Steve Harris bass fill lol.

Bass Amps & Effects / hey PBG, is this worth fixin'
« on: August 25, 2011, 07:13:13 AM »
ok i have a Ampeg B25 that i got for free. it has no tubes at all.when i looked inside there is some rust on the transformers and it looks like a mouse ate the sheilding on some of the wires (they are solid wire(not strand) so this shouldn't be a big deal)there is also some mod done to the speaker outputs (there are 2 extra,most likely to run in 4 or 8 ohm instead of the factory 16) to make matters worse there were 2 big platic knobs that look like they came from a stove. when i tried to pull one off the whole shaft came with it. so now i need a new pot. is it worth fixing? can you estimate how much it would cost me to fix? i would only use it at home since it's only 55 watts.
thanks
thanks

The Bass Zone / it's a Bird, it's a plane!
« on: May 27, 2011, 06:52:21 PM »
having been on this forum since the begining (and before) two of the things that come up all the time are war planes and Thunderbirds. i never was so much into either (i like motorcycles and rippers) but i watched a show on the history channel where they recreated the Tuskeegee Airmen battling the Nazis in Italy(i think) and their Mustangs were such beautiful machines. like a shiney little hotrod. so primative, and the things they could do! Damn!, i really dug that show. and i got to spend some time with a newish Tbird recently and was shocked at how small it felt. the bodies always looked like they were HUGE, maybe only small skinny people play 'em. Ha,ha,ha. it sounded like my LPB-1 which i expected.

Bass Amps & Effects / whats up with watts
« on: January 11, 2010, 07:59:42 PM »
i just picked up an Ampeg V412 4 X 12 bass cab for $125. its 16 Ohm which is why i bought it. so i can use it with my Ampeg B25B. but the head only puts out 55 watts the cab is rated for 200. will it work or is that like pulling a tractor trailer with a Subaru?

Bass Amps & Effects / ooh, ooh, ooh lookie what i got!
« on: December 30, 2009, 09:59:14 PM »
just picked this up for $250.
its a YGL-3A all original in perfect condition. even has the original Phillips tubes. the guy said he almost never used it 'cause it was too loud.?! i like loud!! how can an amp be too loud? but i only played it real low because i got home at like 10 o'clock and have neighbors. but tomorrow i'll open 'er up. it's a guitar amp. which i could use since i'm doin' another band now. but i hope its also good for bass.
