Your latest G.A.S. purchases

Looking at a 1960 AV (Vintage 30s ftw ) now. A friend of mine knows the seller. Apparently he got it for 150 euros three years ago. Apart from a broken Marshall logo and a small tear in the grill cloth it seems to be fine. I know these usually don't go dead cheap but since I know now how much the guy paid for it I don't really wanna break the bank, ya know? How much would you pay for it?

Is it an auction, too? Does he know how much that cab is actually worth? If there are no cracks in the wood or any fucked up wiring, I'd probably go up to 300 max.

On basses aswell?

It seems so : http://www.emginc.com/products/index/75 these are quite the standard.

FWIR, these are prefered as actives and Bartolini's are prefered as passives.

I don't play bass though, so I can't really say.

I put a couple EMG 35DC pickups in a bass of mine with an active system from EMG with bass boost/cut, treble boost/cut, and parametric mids. A lot more volume and way more balls than other pickups.

Do you know anything about bass pickup sizes? I'm all confused when looking at the EMG site... I have no idea what would fit in this Brice...

[PostMortem1666]

thats some awesome packaging, and jesus eddie, this amp pic is like you said, gnna need two photos, one of the cabs, one of the heads!

OR

take em all outside on a cool but sunny day (avoiding any cosmetic damage)

and you can take a pic of them all!

That's a good idea.
I can take all the amps and cabinets to the garden and take a pic.

Hell no. The JB in my M-II screams. JB/Jazz all the way.

Agreed. Probably the best all around pickup set anywhere.

Right back at you, sir.

How are the SCA preamps? I was considering getting a pair of the N72's for guitar recording.

Worth every penny. Fairly easy build with a little electronics experience. One of the best purchases I've made. I usually use my 3 A12's on OH's and snare and my N72 on kick. The N72 gets used more often than not on vocals and bass. A12's are used on guitars most of the time. For about $1700 you can get a rack and 4 modules...you'll be glad you did.

 

[lolzgreg]

I don't think I can build em. I'd probably get 8 modules, but I'm thinkin all N72s. I feel like cohesiveness is important, and using the same pre is nice for that.
