Am I the only one not bothered by the fans 🤷

For sale is my Hartke HA5500. I switched to an Ashdown ABM a couple of years ago & decided to keep this as a backup. Problem is, it’s heavy for a backup - I’d be better of buying a cheaper class d head instead that I can throw in a gig bag. This amp has been well gigged and has plenty of battle scars on the tolex. But the head is good and has never let me down. there’s loads of good features on this head too. Graphic equaliser, tube preamp, compressor, high pass and low pass filter. in terms of the price I really wasn’t sure what it’s worth, but I think £150 ish is probably about right. Or possibly interested in a class d head trade - has to be 500w minimum though. collection only

Music Man Stingray 3eq 2009 **on hold** - *SOLD*

-
So after wanting a stingray for many years and finally picking one up last year, I’ve realised I’m not an active bass guy (you live & learn!). Although I was initially blown away by the tone, I soon found myself reaching for my p or j bass instead. This bass has been in its case for months now and is not getting any use hence the sale. The guy who had it before me was a collector and I don’t think it’s had that much use. Certainly is in great condition. after about a week of having it I stupidly managed to chip a bit of paint below the battery compartment (see photo). Other than that it’s great! Collection only.

Amps with Compession or separate Compression pedal??
alexa3020 replied to Linus27's topic in General Discussion
If you’re using (and overdriving) a tube amp it will naturally compress anyway right? What tube amp are you using & is the extra weight worth it in comparison to Abm? -

I’ll give it a try. I presumed it was more for a slap tone - I play fingerstyle -

Ah I see, the Spectracomp is integrated into the head on the rh series and it doesn’t look like toneprint is supported with that head. Shame, loads to play with in the TonePrint editor but if it currently does what you want it to do, then no problem anyway -

It’s worth checking out. There’s basically a library of pre-made settings from tc artists that you can beam to your pedal - it’s honestly super simple and no tweaking required (unless you want to). Nathan easts compressor settings are good & muscle comp was good too. You can beam the default Spectracomp settings that you’re using now back to the pedal if that’s what you prefer. if you go create your own there’s a huge amount of settings you can tweak - way more than you would see on a compressor pedal.

I’ve just picked up a Spectracomp. Still getting a feel for it. Any recommendations on TonePrints? -

I thought the origin effects cali 76 was the top player. I was quite tempted to get the compact bass version -
Definitely shape off (pushed in) to cut through a mix - in a rock band environment anyway. I did find that you'll lose some volume if you use the onboard compressor And make sure the input gain is cranked & occasionally peaking in the red. I didn't really like barefaced 10 cabs with my ABM - I much prefer the Ashdown 15 cabs I have instead - although many would disagree I'm sure

There’s a trace Elliot ah1200 at my practice room. That thing has it’s own gravitational pull. I’d hate to drag that to any gig! Most A/B heads are fairly light though - an Abm 600 is around 12kg, handbox r400 is even lighter I think and as much power as anyone would need. If you’re driving to a gig, I don’t see it as too much of a hardship to use a class a/b head if that’s what you prefer.

I know this thread is about class d vs a/b, but does lightweight (neo) cab vs heavy cab play a part in this as well. I think it’s less of a factor personally, but interested to get everyone’s take - particularly as I’m still lugging heavier cabs around
-
I looked for a decent backpack for a while that would fit an ABM head, I couldn’t find anything decent for cheap, so gave up. would be useful though, it’d be an easier carry in a backpack.

Instant payment - pleasure to deal with @p4ul Thanks Alex

Bought a Spectracomp from Clarky, super fast delivery and excellent comms throughout. thanks

Idles we’re good st Vincent we’re great - bass player is killing it! I think he plays with beck too what I saw of Robert Plant was pretty good too
-
Bought a mojo mojo pedal from stealth. Item came quickly and in great condition. Thanks

Thanks for the update. Looks like their are a few other options now. The mooer prime p1 looks pretty good but I’m unsure if it supports aux in

Reviving this thread. I almost went ahead with one of these a while back, but then I found out they removed all the bass amps in the available version of the app. The app has since been updated & it looks like there’s at least one bass amp (agl) and 4 cabs. I’d be interested to get everyone’s take on whether this is good over a year later. Or is there something similar and decent available

Is there not an easy pickup mod you can do to improve the G string - levelling the poles I think

Big lows & sparkly top end - jumps out the mix way more than a p or j
