Out of interest is the OTB v2 loud into a decent 8ohm cab ?

I think it's a preference thing, if you like that look then go for it!

Microfrets so they can get quarter tones in the lower part of the neck. -

Have spent the last three days using IEMs exclusively (at a church conference) and I suspect they will now be here to stay - a sad day for my amps and cabs. However, apart from getting better ear pieces (I'm using KZ ZS10s), does anyone know a good way of tweaking the EQ on individual channels in the aux monitor mix? We are using a Yamaha TF1 desk and the monitor mix app, and while I can turn instruments up or down, what I really want to do is EQ a bit more thud in the kick, and also take some mids out of the guitar, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this without changing the main mix. I think the problem I'm having is because I can hear everything so much better through the IEMs the sound engineer part of me wants to EQ it as well! Alternatively are there any digital desks that have the capacity of EQing aux mixes separately to the main mix?

I’ve heard the Lakland bass have great tonal flexibility. I needed my first to be something that I’d be willing to get up earlier than I would normally after a late shift, in order to practice. This is it Once my ability grows then I can start to make use of the controls. Right now it’s just master volume!

A wonderfully lightweight Precision Bass with a straight neck, fully functioning Truss Rod, uprated Seymour ‘Duncan Designed’ Pick ups, professional KiOgen solderless Loom with Bourns Pots, Switchcraft input Jack, Fender Spaghetti Logo and comes complete with an as new (apart from a small scuff to the piping on one corner, please see next to last pic). Ordo lightweight softshell rigid foam case. In excellent condition with a 50’s style vintage two tone tobacco sunburst. Ti Flats fitted since original pics were taken. This is one of the very few sub 8lbs P basses I’ve encountered during the past half Century, weighing in at a mere 3.4kg - or 7.5lbs in ‘old money’ It has had a really nice set up - level frets etc. & plays really well with a low action and sounds like a good P Bass should, with more growl than a very growly thing from the Planet Growl partly thanks to the Maple fingerboard, but I suspect mainly due to our own John’s (Kiogen) recommended capacitor on this fabulous Loom. The headstock has had a refin & a spaghetti Fender logo applied to the headstock by a previous owner to a very high standard. What Fender say……. Features Thin and lightweight solid Popular body Duncan Designed split single-coil pickup 4-saddle hardtail bridge Open-gear tuning machines Chrome hardware Maple Neck Maple Fingerboard. Plus…..

@uk_lefty for drive and fuzz, I found that exploring all bass and guitar options with a scooch of clean blended in and plus/minus some of the bass control on parallel lines was the key to finding good tones. For my always on dirt I think I've got the the natural drive in parallel with the bass drive. Then fuzz, is the fuzz face on the bass overdrive and the bass fuzz on the transparent line. Don't drive them individually too hard, but the summing of them gives you a thickness and introduces some of the randomness that you get in the high frequencies of analog pedals.

Don’t know if anyone has seen his clips on FB or Instagram? Appears to be playing in wedding bands based out of Boston but a really great player who seems to rearrange on the fly. Killer sadowsky tone too.

BassAdder60 started following Orange LBT vs Terror Bass v2
-
Has anyone owned both of these Orange amps ? I have the Little Bass Thing and used it at rehearsals yesterday into a MarkBass MB58R 122 8 ohm cab so I guess seeing half power OMG was it loud and plenty of grunt albeit more clean than the OTB Is the Terror bass head equally as loud ?? Obviously more gritty but as loud ?

I've been a 'start flat' eq guy for the last four or five years, but I've started boosting my mids a bit. It's brought positive comments.

I liked the MB gear i had and i have often thought about going back to it. My only concern was i couldn't hear it on stage but it always sounded great from the audience point of view and they sit so well in a mix especially if you have keys in the band. Must admit i'm liking the BF 212 cab as i can stand directly in front or even to the side of it and i can still hear it quite well. The Mesa cabs are good but not if you have to stand directly in front of them. The sound is thrown past you. Dave

You might be right, I get a softer but still punchy sound with Lionel which might be better in a pub situation. I tend to use a Stingray on club gigs, it’s a bit more in your face and carries better in awful WMC rooms. Ive often thought about looking at alternative amp/cabs but I just feel at home with Markbass.

Its nice getting a compliment at a gig. Its funny but i think the equipment you use makes a difference to what the audience hear. When i was using my VM4 into a SS head and my Mesa cabs i get comments. When i use the Handbox WB-100 into the same cabs i don't. I'm wondering if the SS or now using the TT800 have more edge than the valve amp and people just pick up on it. Valve amps have more depth of tone IMO but they don't have that fast attack or edge of a modern amp. Just a curious thought !!! Dave
