You done good. I had one for a while and it's really great, and probably the best amp value on the planet.

Nicely done Jimi, similar to my Tweaker rig, only I'm running it into a 2X12 sealed cab.

Soon you will all but have forgotten there's a string gauge past 0.054........

Right on! That looks like a good pairing. Is it a 2x12, 4x10, or 4x12? I have an old Marshall 2x12 that looks a lot like that size.

     Egnater makes fantastic stuff. I got one of the m4 modular preamps when he did a limited hand-built reissue run last year.Fantastic peice of gear.
     How is the headroom on the 15 watt tweaker. I have been tryng to decide between this and the 40 watt. you can't beat the price. and they can be ridiculously cheap on some used ones. 
     I would love to go to his amp building seminar in detroit that is coming up. I think it's gonna be a 50watt plexi ths go around.

The 15 has enough clean headroom to get you above a moderate to lid drummer. However, because of the master volume and hot/clean switch, you can easily run those tubes at the same volume and get breakup.

Only thing I miss is the onboard reverb.

What speakers ya got in there?
Title: Re: My NAD!!!!
Post by: Clayford on April 04, 2014, 09:12:45 PM
My guess is that's an MG or a M412, Rocket 50's? Doesn't Matter what's in there though, for 130 he STOLE it. Heck you can't put new speakers in it for $130

Don't know, it's stock. It's the cab they came out with for their solid state head. The speakers are branded celestion, but a squier is branded fender too. I only play in my music room, and 130 was a steal for sure.

Well I'm quite fond of my squire actually. :P

And I'm 99% positive you just confirmed "Rocket 50" as your speaker type. They aren't bad speakers. I have them loaded in a homemade 4x12 straight to go with my Randall cabinet.
 
For the record:

You can't even get the speakers for $130

Run like you stole it Jimi!

or is that play it like you stole it....

Not that there's anything wrong with a squier, but you can hear the differences (on some), at least I could on bass.
Before I bought it, I looked around online while standing in GC to make sure I was being cheated. Cheapest I found was around 250. I played an awesome orange amp the through it in store. Pow! It was so warm with an American strat.

Best way to do it - or bring in your Head and Guitar! (GUILTY!)

I dunno about bases, but yeah I can Imagine a stock squire bass would be bad. Especially some of the cheapies (affinity/bullet)

Bought a Pete Wentz signature model, I had to replace the body and the pickups and install a tone knob before I could get anything decent out of it, BUT I bought a Squier 25th Anniversary pbass that I replaced the pickups and it came with a baddass bridge on it, sounds amazing.

Wild ain't it? Mine was just like your anniversary, needed some pickup love, and then it became one of the best ever. Prefer it to my custom. I may be biased though, because my wife picked it up on our honeymoon from a pawnshop. She knew my first electric was a black strat, and it was a black strat ....
