Do you have a spec list?

Yep... Here we go:


[b][u]General Specs:[/u][/b]
-Aguilar DB680-styleish input (Passive/Active-switch, 12db pad)
-Input Gain
-Master
-DI out, and per-and post-option
-FX loop (before the EQ section)
-Mute switch (immediately after the input gain)
-Ampeg SVP/SVT-styleish drive control

[b][u]EQ: (+/- 12db)[/u][/b]
-Bass (Tube Driven, Shelving, 90Hz)
-Treble (Tube Driven, Shelving, 10kHz)
-Mesa Big Block 750-styleish Passive Mid! I really LOVE this single function in Mesa BB 750!!
-2x fully parametric "tube driven" EQs (in the spirit of Aguilar 680db, but with slightly different Hz ratings) 1) 100Hz-800Hz ja 2) 700Hz-16kHz

Thanks!

Hello folks!

I’ve tried to find some info on the topic, but couldn’t…

I’d like to get a preamp with custom specs, short of a hybrid of Aguilar db680, Mesa Big Block 750 and Ampeg SVP… Nevertheless the specs are quite demanding to engineer but not impossible. But it’s hard to find a right guy to build such a cunning pre!

Could you please help me out and recommend some names in Europe (And preferably in EU countries), who could possible be skilful enough to handle demanding tube-preamp requests, and are building fully custom? I don’t mind if the builder isn’t famous or pricey (don't tell this to my wife...), as long as he or she is reliable and proficient!

Thanks!!

Warmoth. High quality bass parts in a decent price.
Bad resell value, though...

[b]Compressor brand/settings for specific bass sound?[/b]
Hello folks!

I crushed into a couple youtube-links and dropped my ears… This is the EXACT sound I like!

The tone(s) contains relatively big amount of compression, and I really enjoy the ”squash” and ”mwah” it produces. Makes the bass sound a bit fretless to my ear…

I’m not too familiar with different kind of compressors/settings. So does anyone have any tips how to create a sound like this ”gearwise”? (Please, don’t bother with comments such as ”it’s all in the fingers”… My fingers are pure gold one can always practise more, it’s obvious. )

I do own a good piece of gear when it comes to the EQ section. A 10band full parametric rack unit. My bass is a custom De Gier, not too far away from Bona’s Fodera.
