I'm not stretching the truth, but I was pretty much like a human lift truck. Most of us were as Roadies back then.

You probably didn't even have those back support belts, either. Did you? I remember when I worked at K Mart they gave me one of those, because I did have to go to and from the stockroom for heavy merchandise, especially when I was in the sporting good section and hardware. When I was in electronics, I really didn't have to do much of anything like that, because it was lightweight things, other than maybe an occasional TV. Also, I watched "Lord Of The Rings," probably a 100 times in a row, from it being on a loop to demo the TVs and such. Sometimes, they did switch it out with something else, but it really didn't bother me, since I did like the movie, and I was often busy to watch the whole thing at once.

They had the leather weight lifter belts, but no one thought to use them for work purposes.

I went back to a Bassman 500 / Bassman 115 Neo setup today. I did ok on a trade in with the Rumble 500.

Nice. 8) I'm hoping they worked out the bugs, and you won't have a repeat of the issues you once did. Hey, Squier has been treating me good, since I've went back to it. I guess sometimes, you might get a lemon here and there.

I'm thinking anymore, a lemon can be acquired with about anything these days.

That's true, or the opposite with something that's been claimed to have a lot of issues. I guess it's a matter of being lucky or not.

I played a bit more today, and this head being new out of the carton, is a 17 pound Monster, @ 8 ohms, 350 watts through the 115 Neo. What ever was not right with my first Bassman 500, is sure right with this new one. I'm like a little kid with this head.
The 115 Neo is more to my ears, than the 410 Neo.

Sounds good. 8) I think that amp just came on the market when you first got it, didn't you? Sometimes, that can happen with new gear, especially electronics. I've heard even the Orange Terror Bass had some issues when it first came out, but it wasn't something significant. I think the worst one with issues was those Ampeg Portaflex heads, from what I've read. I guess they're doing pretty good now, since they probably got that ironed out.

I did have a early Bassman 500, and I also had Ampeg Portaflex 500 head that was suspect too. This Bassman 500, is a good one. Thank God.
