but in a 5 string bass tuned down a whole step that frequency would 27,5 Hz (A0)

I stand corrected! Though Mirror Profiles' chart says 56 Hz for the same A1 note.

I don't know who's right. I do know it's a pretty long wavelength!

Beautiful room Laszlo! I would have regained respect from my wife and dogs if mine were that clean. Your mixes sounded really good.

I’m honored that you like the mixes!

On the clean thing I am so OCD that anything out of place or that needs cleaning distracts me, and I can’t get creative. I’m not saying this is a good thing! I freely admit it’s a bit crazy.

Once my wife came into the room as I was straightening up after a session; it was pretty late. She looked around and finally said, “It’s a lot of work being you!”

The JC-40 is a really flawed amp in my book. I had one and sent it back. It was noisier than my battered third generation JC-120 was a decade earlier, the chorus didn't sound as good, and the lack of a low input annoys me. I used the low input a lot on the old JC-120.

On paper the JC-40 was KILLER. In reality the hiss was so annoying. The clean tone with the chorus and reverb was amazing. Probably not the same as a good vintage JC-120 but still really good.

I wish they just some damn thought and effort into it. Make a real fully analog Jazz Chorus that fixes the amp issues. It shouldn't be that expensive right? Just a good tank reverb, a CE-1 circuit, etc.

That's a shame . I was considering buying a JC-40. I love a good Jazz Chorus amp. I played through many older JC-120s and have a late '80s JC-77. I really like the older analog ones, those always delivered the goods.

Never tried a JC-40 before yet. Is the noise and hiss there on all settings or just when you use the onboard or outboard digital effects? Also if either of you have played a JC-22, is the noise and hiss there on the JC-22 as well?
