Thanks for your replies and perhaps I feel a bit better that it's not only me. Very impressed with the AC50/18" combination. Would love to hear that in anger, are any of you you coming to Scarborough ? As you can see from another thread I love Vox bass amps and now that they've made a tiny 10 watt Pathfinder I hope it grows rapidly into an all valve 12", 15", 18" monster !!
You don't need lots of sustain for 60's bass playing, I agree, but it is a bit frustrating when you hit certain notes, however briefly and there's nothing there but a duff note compared to the others.
I absolutely agree that there are no dead/flat notes when Jet plays, only lovely fat notes. On the subject does playing with a pick, which I don't, eliminate the flat spots ?

Afraid not Luigi,I actually thought the other way round. I have several bass rigs,the AC50 is my favourite,- mid 60's JMI. Soundwise the AC50 is bass heavy which I like but very dynamic. I also have an old JMI bass AC30,this gives a very even tone but out of respect for the original "blue" speakers I don't use it very often outside the house.
