Congrats Hardy, I'd like to take those Steamers to that tropical place behind and drink strawberry daquaries and play until my fingers bleed 😎

Excellent!!

why does the TRC say « Licensed by Spector » ?

It's funny, the web is full of Spector-fan-boys complaining about something that was settled around 30 years ago, but they seem to forget Spector is selling Jazz Bass copies these days. Ooh, the hypocrisy... 😂

You were right. Thomann is not the same anymore.....

They shipped a scratched cab. I promptly asked for a return label. :(

Sad to read that, was the cab “B-stock” or new? Because I’m taking a look at Thomann’s Hellborg stock and everything they have, except for a 2x15”, is “B-stock”.

That’s cute.
How loud is it actually?

I bet that rig is surprisingly loud. I had a very similar Ashdown Little Bastard hooked up to a 2X12 cab, and it rattled the pantry and cabinet doors in the next room, and that was at just past half volume! Tube amps play by different rules apparently. I have a 50 watt 65Amps with a 1X15 that is shockingly loud. Much louder than a 200w Ampeg with a 2X10 I had at the time. I read an article about why a tube amp sounds louder than a solid state amp of the same wattage, but it didn't make a lot of sense to me. It had something to do with the way our ears work as I recall. But since the speaker, not the amp, creates the sound waves, that doesn't seem right. I never could find a better explanation though. If anyone knows the facts on this subject, they should share.
 
With one cab it‘s already loud. Not loud enough imo for a use in my band without PA. I connected it to the Hellborg cabs and this should be sufficient. BUT: you run the amp full throttle that way. I prefer some reserves. I have it for home use, running it at half open volume. The tone is always hot! It’s not made for hifi sounds, it’s a rocker!

never really been a compressor guy, but now that I use the SA C4 a lot and my Darkglass fuzz, need some help smoothing things out. Hope it helps. Looks to be very versatile in a tiny package.

Just a '61 jazz bass setup for the Dolphin 5. The preamp somehow mafunctioned, I brought it to a pro that did not wire it properly, so as it was under lockdown I tried myself and then it sat hanged for over a year. Reassembled everything with an EMG preamp just to realize it was the wiring of the switch that was faulty.
And then I kinda broke down and decided to go the passive way.
