Origin Effects BassRig Ampeg B15 Fliptop recreation
spyder replied to Quatschmacher's topic in Effects
I've had mine for about an hour now. My first impressions..... where have all the bass and treble frequencies gone.? My signal chain. Passive Serek Midwestern 2 five string. Dunlop flat wound strings. AEA active DI. Midas MR18 Presonus Air10 & Air15 sub. I've tried so many preamp di pedals that I've almost given up. I prefer going straight into the mixer with a high quality transparent active DI. I usually use an AEA active DI with just a little eq boost ( 3-4db ) around 80hz and 2khz. Also HPF around 50hz. The Presonus PA is an entry level system with a defused sound that is just ok. No matter what I did the Fifteen just sounded wrong. Bass was lacking and the treble was dull. Of course that is exactly what the B15 sounds like. I took a break and came back with fresh ears. This time I used headphones connected to the Midas MR18 and I finally got the idea. It sounds like you are playing through the Ampeg B15, a fabulous vintage sound. The pedal feels very responsive and the sound reacts to how hard you play just like a real amp. I think through my Presonus PA the sound is a little lost. But with a better PA or while recording or using headphones the sound is very amp like. I'm going to spend all of tomorrow morning playing with the pedal with backing tracks of our set. This should give a better idea how it sits in a mix. I'm sure it will sound great. If not it's going back to Andertons. -
Bought an amp cover from Matt. Everything was nice and smooth and item exactly as described. Thanks Gerry

...and how long would it take you to knock me out two complete sets for my bi-amped quartet of cabs please? Five quid for labour? Heeheehee. Nah. I think that's a lovely personal touch. TE green has always been eye catching. Green Kwackers too, of course. Have you checked what they look like under UV? -

Here's a rough comparison clip. GS then BR, first alone then through the B15 IR of the Cabzone. (So GS, BR, GS with sim, BR with sim.) Apologies for any artefacts in the recording; I think my computer is on the blink. B15 clips.mp3 -

Yet many of those plans are pretty poor when compared with established quality commercial designs. That’s been my experience overall. Economies of scale regarding quality commercial conditions makes it very difficult to build for less cost, especially if considering the used market.

The Accidental Birth: How The Fender Antigua Was Born
Steve Browning replied to jd56hawk's topic in Bass Guitars
Walnut every time. I cannot abide Antigua as a finish. I guess it represented a bass that was ridiculously heavy when it first appeared. -

Immaculate, as new, never gigged with all original packaging. Sublime British fuzz pedal with very cool Octaver built in. The Fur Coat is a bold, vintage-style fuzz pedal inspired by the great sustain and saturation of early-70s Foxx Tone Machine. Thick, aggressive, and full of character, it nails the woolly textures of classic fuzz while offering modern flexibility. A switchable octave-up adds a ripping edge to solos, while the active EQ helps you cut through or scoop out mids. Whether you want spitting chaos or smooth sustain, the Fur Coat delivers. It runs on standard 9 V power but sips current, making it perfect for modern pedalboards. Put it first in your chain and prepare for full-bodied, retro fuzz furry fury with a twist. Full Specification Controls (Left to Right) Volume, EQ, Octave, Fuzz Current Draw 9V: 3MA12V: 5MA Stomp Functions Activate Octave, Activate Fuzz Unboxed Dimensions (W x L x H) 9.5 × 6.5 × 13cm (3.7 x 2.6 x 5.1″) Unboxed Weight 524g (1.15 LBS) Boxed Dimensions (W x L x H) 11.4CM x 14.8CM x 8CM Boxed Weight 722g (1.59lb)

ezbass replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
There’s a bunch of Harley Bentons in different designs for your budget. The Mustang alikes are good, especially since the switch upgrade. The J pickup is not as powerful as the P (not unusual in budget basses of any make), but the whole thing makes for a good upgrade chassis (an EMG GZR set would be perfect). https://www.thomann.co.uk/short_scale_basses.html?manufacturer[]=Harley Benton&gk=GIEBSC&sp=solr_b&cme=true&filter=true - Today

Fret sensing seems to be the preferred method at the moment. Alternatively have a look at the Roland V-Bass system which is based around modelling to process the audio output of the individual strings.

I used them quite a bit in the days when Alan at ACG was stocking them. They're nothing like Elixirs so if you are after something similar you may be disappointed. Since they have become less easy to find in the UK I've stopped using them and now favour Warwick Black Label for my basses that would have had SIT string before.

Custom painted (printed) part bass-peacock context...
edstraker123 replied to bgmttt's topic in Bass Guitars
Hmmm - just thinking if you did a clear pickguard and then printed on the back of it, it wouldn't need to be lacquered. Endless possibilities ! Is it something you would be happy to do for your BC friends and if so what would the costs be roughly ? ( I assume each job could be different ) -
6 x Music Man 2EQ LM4250CN Preamp to assemble, exactly the same as the Boscoe 2EQ preamp. 4 of them will come with a thick MM plate. They will be delivered with enough length of coloured wires (not the whole box) and 3M double sided foam. Each preamp has a real LM4250CN opamp, tantalum capacitors, Radio knobs and real MM output jack. The price for everything pictured in the first photo. NO TRADES! PRICE NON-NEGOTIABLE! Asking price, fully insured delivery with tracking number, to your home, for the following European countries (for other countries, please contact us): Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France (excluding French overseas territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom: €350 (£310 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU, just ask. Due to the fact that I don't play bass anymore, I'm selling all the stuff I'm not using like this one. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale as, new, it would cost you 30% more than my asking price… Don't hesitate to ask for more details, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!
