Other Equipment
FlyGuitars What kind of set up do you use live?
JMJ SVP-CL preamps, SVT-1600 and QSC PowerAmps, two Ampeg 8x10 cabs,
FlyGuitars Any Effects?
JMJ Piles and piles of them. I have three custom boards - two for the studio and one for live.
FlyGuitars And in the studio?
JMJ Basses and effects going into a B-15 or an SVT. Along with that is an amazing Divided By 13 bass rig I use as well, 200 watt, all tube with a 4 x 12 cabinet fitted with Celestions. Face melting.
FlyGuitars One classic Gibson bass you don't use is an EB2, but you regularly use other hollow-bodies, like the Guild Starfire. What do you like about the Starfire over the EB2?
JMJ Starfires are balanced sounding and have room for more "finesse" playing, I feel. EB2's are too heavy in the low end for me in terms of what I use the Starfires for, though I should probably own one. The Starfire has become my sound on a lot of records, most notably on Sea Change..."Paper Tiger", "End of the Day", "Lonesome Tears", songs like that....that bass sound is Starfire >> Ampeg B-15R >> Neumann FET 47, no DI.

1962 Ampeg B-15N Portaflex 25-Watt 1x15" Bass Combo Random Navy Flair Altec 418
Milford, New Jersey, 088**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
$3500
TNot a show queen but a certainly a studio king. A 1962 Ampeg B-15N. Made here in Linden, NJ around 1962. Some of the pots date to late 61. This is prior to chassis serial numbers so its not as easy to date exactly. The serial number is present on the cabinet. There are many variations of the B-15N circuit in the 60s. This is the earliest N circuit. This one is interesting due to it featuring a 5U4 rectifier rather than the 5AR4 and power tubes are 6L6 rather than 6L6GC. In both scenarios ... more
