    Would love to know how people rate these 2x10/12 vert cabs particularly the two TC electronic offerings and the ampeg. really like the idea of taking less space up on stage and having a modular option where i can take one or two cab's to gig, I'd love to know if you stacked four of the ampegs how close they sound to a fridge
  5. matybigfro
    just realised that all cab's stack vertically but I guess I'm meaning those either in a 1 or 2 speaker format where they maximise height for size/weight.

    Just wanted to hear peoples thoughts on this, ever since i first laid eye's on the TC electronic Rebel cab's I thought that it's a pretty neat idea, but how does it sound. Those RH cab's look sweet and I like the idea of nearer ear level drivers and smaller foot print although i also worry that they look too easy to knock over on a wobbly stage? Would be interested to compare these the new TC cab's and something like the Ampeg SVT210AV's. Any other vertically stacking cab's I should check out?

    Interested in any trades, you've seen my pedal thread so you know what I got avail

    I really love the filter section of the old Electro Harmonix Bass MicroSynth with the Sliders to control Trigger, Attack Delay, Resonance, Start Freq, stop Freq and Rate but don't need the Square wave, or octave voice controls as I have Octave and fuzz pedals that take care of that. I can't see any Filter pedal onthe market that gives similar performance to the Microsynth but buying the EHX for only half it's functionality seems pretty much a bit of a waste or overspend Anyone here who could knock this together for me or point me int he direction of a builder that has teh skilzz for it?
  15. matybigfro
    Yea I'm proper pedal whore, some of these are left over's form my Guitar slinger day's but I play guitar so little at the moment it seems a waste and i just want more bass gear the Pork Loin is awesome the only reason it's off my board is a bought a Barber 1/2 Gainer (upgrade of the old LTD overdrive) which has two channels and as I said I'm a pedal flusie. The producer that my band has been recording with this year loved the Pork loin, it's super tweakable and a great circuit. Currently my board runs Pitch Black Tuner, Aguilar Octiver, Myrtle Effects Corvid Fuzz, Barber Half Gainer, EHX Small Clone (modded), Marshal Vibratrem, EHX knockout, Behringer BDI not sure how long it wil last like that but it's serviing me well at the moment

    Any interest in trades for either of the below for the VT Bass Way Huge Pork Loin OD T-rex Squeezer Valve Compressor
  18. matybigfro
    I've got a Behringer BDI21 that I've just been using for recording direct into a laptop. I've only just begun to notice that you have to tweak the Blend knob to get any reasonable mid's or a usable tone. I might need to rig it up with the Puma at our next practice With the BDI or Bass VT would you recomend going into the normal Bass input on the Puma or into the effect return to cut out the Puma's Pre-Amp I terms of size and Volume and ease of moving the Puma is ridiculously light and pretty loud (it does benafit from having a ext cab plugged in to get the full headroom and volyume from all 500 watts) But if the Bass VT will get it as close to a B-15's tone as any other light weight and loud Amp would new (main contenders being Orange Bass Terror, Genz Benz Streamliner, CarvinBX500 or Ampeg PF800 with lightweight cab possibly barefaced)

    When people suggest using the the VT or SFT pedal in front of an amp what are do you guy's have in mind in regards to what's being addded to the tone. My impression is that pedals are good for adding overdrive (if even only slight) to a clean amp's sound, but I"m not really after a overdriven amp sound as I tend to use OD and fuzz pedals for that quiet a lot. What I"m after in a tube amp is that warmth, responce to overdrive and fuzz pedals (what i tend to hear as a sort of cushioning whereby the harmonics are softened and don't sound as harsh and much warmer) and that tube tone/feel that often seems to come from the power amp (ie i've tried tube compressor or Od pedals infront of solid state pre's and it doesn't seem to feel the same) Although I tended to the run the B15 fairly hot in the studio it was still pretty much a clean sound and it had a beautifull glassy texture to the highs so i know I don't want to just add dirt and treble roll off to my existing amp will using a tech amp or catlinbread give me that or just make the amp not clean? does that make sense

    So is this MeatBox a Octave pedal with added EQ boost or just a Subby Eq Boost I love my Aguilar for Octave bass tones and if I want to get really dubby slamming on the EHX Knockout with the Low boost makes for Shits and Giggles times Does the Meatbox essentially do the same in one pedal
  21. matybigfro
    Which Genz head are you running brensabre, also what Barefaced cab are you runnning it with. Up untill recently I've been weigh up between the Terror Bass, Streamliner or ? this may be the ? Just need to find one to try out now
  22. matybigfro
    Wow the Carvin sounds almost too good to be true, I'm gonna have to check out this amp
  23. matybigfro
    To my Ear's the Puma is too Modern/Hi-Fi sounding, It's EQ isn't in the right place for me Boosting Low's seem to boost freq's just beneath where it feel like you want them to so your getting a boomy/muddy sound rather than a deep full warm low sound and the lo Mid is too punchy not low enough. The only thing I love about it is how light it is, it sit's in one seat in a car and has wheel's on so it can be rolled. I also just don't have the space at home for a massive cab or 8x10 fridge I hope I can get about £750 for the Puma S/H if I'm buyin used gear I will likely not be able to afford to spend much more than that however if I'm buying new I could probably speend more and put some on a CC or HF

    We're working with a Producer called [url="http://www.myspace.com/tomrobertknott"]Tom Knott[/url] in there at the moment (he used to work out of Manchester but moved back down this way a few years ago, also play's with I Am Kloot). When we started in there I only had a Behringer ultrabass that I was using as a back up for gigs as one of the speakers on the tecamp had blown so I just used what they had already been set up for me, although pretty excited to see such a nice vintage looking piece of kit there I wondered if something that small would be aggressive enough but in a iso room on it's own cooking some tubes it sounded awesome (PM me for some private links to early non release pre-mixes). I'm just not sure it would be loud enough for practice/gigging with a band and need something that would stay clean when competting with a drummer. Also it was pretty weighty and currently living in a first floor flat I just can't face carrying heavey stuff back up the stairs after practices and gigs? I was wondering how close [size=4]something [/size]like the Genz Benz Streamliner or Ampeg PF-500 heads would get me to that sound and what cab's would be best to pair them with? Mr Foxen I may have to pop my head into your den when we're next at the Studio?

    Really lucky to get to use a Ampeg B-15 (I believe) in Jim Barr's (of portishead and the blessing) studio 'j&j' on and off over the last few weeks as I've been tracking with my band 'Empty Pools' and I've totally fallen in love with that bass sound (played both jazz and precision on it). I can't imagine ever wanting to sound like anything else on record (I play through allot of fuzzes and OD's switching between clean and dirty sounds). I currently have a tecamp 212 puma combo but would prefer something head and cab, compactish (have to fit two guitar combo's and drum kit in two normal cars, much louder(drummers and all that) what will get me closest to that sound for not too much money don't mind S/H either for trade price of my combo or not too much more
