Yes, hmmm. Possibly I just had the amp set up differently. I wouldn't say the V6-20 is less bassy than the other two, and in fact the 'Blues' setting is JTM45-ish, so plenty of bass is available.
The Goldstar in the recording is my favourite configuration; an EL34.
Yes, I'm a bike fan, or was. I've owned about 45 in the last 30 years! Bike free at the moment though. :(
BTW 38thBeatle, you don't have to be indecisive, just have one of each.
