Robbie traded his Digitech Bass Squeeze for my Digitech Bass Driver. Good communication, nice guy, a pleasure to meet you!

So here I was, thinking I would never find a Trace Elliot I could really like. But this changed today, I just spent two hours playing through an AH500-7 into an Ampeg SVT-810E... Glorious! Not sure how much was the head and how much the cab... but I used that cab before with other amps and I never thought much of it. I even liked the green lighting! hmmm...

[quote name='bassickman' timestamp='1337699720' post='1664160'] Ok, I love the tone. However, I play some big gigs with an alt rock, pop rock band. Similar to maroon 5. I find the Jazz bass tone perfect but the depth of the sound sometimes isnt deep enough. I use ernie ball slinky bass strings. I am a newbie to gear really and this is why i come to yourselves for advice. [/quote] keep the bass and find a used John East J-Retro preamp. About £100. Straight drop in, just a few min to install, and you will have some monstrous tones at your fingertips.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1337759973' post='1664893'] Only 8KHz works for me, none of the others do anything but on the good side the 8K sounds very high to me (61&1/4 yrs) Edit: Tried the test again with the volume higher & I think the frequencies are numbered wrong, or to put it another way the test is a load of shyte. I can hear 8, 10 but not 12, 14 to me is higher than 15, not 16, 17 clearly & a lower tone than 15, 18 OK, the 19 to me is the same as 17, 20 & 21 - 21 seems lower than 20 OK, then 22 just a bit buzzy. Then I got Kaz (female 55) to listen & she can hear pretty much the same as me, with similar comments on the levels & tones, so it's not just me but it is what's coming out of my speakers. I'll get my sons to try on the same setup when they come round. It's complete bollox - IMHO. I'm pretty sure I' hearing what my sound card & Creative speakers decide to put out, wish my tuner would pick up those high frequencies [/quote] must be the speakers. I can clearly hear the increasing pitch as expected. In my case it stops at 18KHz, but this is with my laptop's far from great speakers. When I did something similar properly a couple of years ago I could hear 21KHz.

thank you! yours truly, embarrased

And I just did. No, I don't get a cut, I just like what it does and the price is just right so that I can afford one on each board.

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1337549443' post='1661945'] I'm sure I have seen a thread or webpage about that somewhere. Maybe at The Gear Page. A bit of googling might find it for you? [/quote] My bit of googling was unsuccessful. Any ideas anybody? It is a resource I would love to see and if I can find it I shall start one myself. Blending pedals is common enough among bass players.

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1337543547' post='1661759'] Note that the qtron bypassed will not invert the signal so without it engaged you will have the same trouble you're having now with your blend... [/quote] I know, I used to use both at the same time for a truly burpy sound. That was my "Sir Psycho Sexy" sound in the RHCP tribute band, and I loved seeing people look in wonder "what is that??" during sound I recently went to just Bassballs to make some space... but hey, maybe it was not meant to be!

aha, that makes sense, as I used it in LP mode. It does bother me because by itself the blended sound is difficult to use. But I might just add a micro QTron again, since I love that pedal anyway. We will see
