[quote name='umcoo' post='571990' date='Aug 17 2009, 07:41 PM']How dirty can Fender Bassmans get? I've played vegashooker's 135 and it had a wonderful tone, but I can't recall if it was really driven hard. I'm throwing around the idea of a Bassman 70 or 100 and a Barefaced Compact so I can be loud enough for gigs, but get into power amp overdrive pretty easily. Thanks for all the suggestions already, by the way![/quote] the bassman gets pretty dirty! and its pretty darn loud! and my mate uses it thru an old fender (i think) 115 cab. andy

[quote name='umph' post='571252' date='Aug 17 2009, 12:06 AM']the one you had will be in a completely different league to the new ones, the old matamp ones are completely different amps[/quote] ah yes of course mine was hand wired! looked so cool when i looked inside once! and it was number 17 of 17! shame i couldn't afford to keep it. andy

the oranges are wicked, can't comment on the 200b but i owned a 140b for a bit and it sounded awesome when cranked no need for distortion at all! i can only imagine the 200b is the same but louder? also im using a TE v4 at the mo, while my peg in for repair and that sounds really nice to thru my 610hlf. and i know someone with a fender bassman 100 which sounds killer! andy

took it to mansons today, they're leaving it on in the store all day, but he thinks its maybe a faulty kettle lead which is good. im still not convinced tho!? the amps wicked but ive only had it 6 months, and it already had to go in, im getting a very nice backup amp in the next to months and if i like it i may well get rid of the pro-6, as its really not as loud as they make out! andy

i was so close to getting fafner! but in the end didnt want to buy blind of the net so i went for the ampeg! they look sweet tho! andy

[quote name='Musicman20' post='564946' date='Aug 10 2009, 01:38 PM']Cheers man! Its a shame they are so freakin slack! I think on that recording it was my old Trace 400 SMX (now sold on) through a 4x10 they had at the studio (bizarre make, but damn crisp) and a sansamp to add some grit. Some of the songs are just DI into the board through the sansamp. The bass? Just my MIJ Reissue Fender P! Least expensive bass I own, but does a sterling job [/quote] Cool man, I just picked me up a mia 98 p! Its my first fender and its really nice gave it a go at my bands gig last Thursday and it sounded wicked, still prefer my modulus to it tho but its a close second I gotta say! Andy

we've recently put up a new track to add to the four others that have been up for a while, would meen alot if you could take a few minutes and give our songs a spin and give me some of you opinions. [url="http://www.myspace.com/syruss"]http://www.myspace.com/syruss[/url] thanks andy

mate some wicked tunes! i can't really get on with the vocals but thats just me! but your tone is wicked! what are you using and how'd you record it? andy

[quote name='Musicman20' post='564116' date='Aug 9 2009, 01:29 PM']I bought a brand new SVT 810E cab....expecting it to solve everything. It just wasn't really that impressive. You had to have it very loud to get a good tone. That was a Vietnam cab....and yes QC wise it was pretty damn spot on! But...Ive never owned the US stuff. I dunno....that and the fact my friends Ampeg SVT 3 Pro struggles with volume has really put me off Ampeg. I won't be going back to them now...the cab has gone and the much nicer sounding/looking Aguilar cabs took its place. I tested a SVT-VR and I found it pretty dull. I was probably not EQ'ed correctly, but it did not have the wow factor for me. I think after a few years Ampeg will pull it back.....but I cant see myself tempted by their products again.[/quote] im forced to agree with you with the volume thing, with my pro-6 it does seem like they've exaggerated the output, it just doesn't seem 1100w loud. but i do love the tone that it puts out! and on bigger stages with di support i never have to worry and if your playing somewhere where its just your backline with my 610 it plenty loud enough. also my 610 is built in china and has spotless QC also just checked out you band dude! nice tone! andy
