  1. Agree with Doc J

    Have one in my Lull.

    Vintage tone control is on all the time, active and passive.  Bass and treble are boost only, however paired with the VTC loads of tonal options available.

    Ilove the sound of my bass passive especially when recording and the VTC is great there ,  but live when I do need a little extra kick stick it it active and just a little boost goes a long way with this preamp - no need to go to 18V

     

    Very musical preamp thats adds that subtle but might Sadowsky colour.  Definately a winner

     

    Not play the EMG so cannot comment

  2. Tried searching for this topic but not found one. Mods please re direct if this is the wrong forum. 

    I want to send a bass to the states and wondering if anyone has done so before. I’ve sent a few in the UK before had no issues. Are there any companies anyone could recommend or steer me away from when it comes to posting to the States. 

    I’ll be sending it in a regular hiscox case and will probably bubble wrap and cardboard it too just in case.

     

    thanks in advance peeps

  3. I’ve got one but it’s mounted in a soft rack case 3 unit Aguilar bag. I’d say go with the Chstom case, or if you’re lucky some old mic boxes. Leather satchel is a good shout. 

    Tricky these amps. I love mine

    jts small but heavy. I also have a cooling ststem installed on my rack case and it works for me. Doesn’t bother me because I tend to drive to gigs with it. If I’m not driving and I’m the tube in London I take my wtdi pedal and use what ever monitors are there

  6. oh yes its not a tribute band so to say however the MD and me too actually are quite perfectionists in tone.
    And forgot to say I'm using an Eden WT550 with 4x10 and 2x10.

    hi guys I'm joining an 80's based function band and sound and tone are quite crucial.
    I Have a through neck 6 string that's rather hi fi sounding walnut body, quilt maple top and rosewood board and humbuckers. i also have an Ash/maple 5 string jazz with single coils.
    A very brief history of my own understanding on the development of bass tone favoured and used by bass players/producers/bands:
    -60's is your Abbey Road/Motown/Stax mutey souly/rocknroll meatnpotato bass playing etc Pbass and flats Jazz and flats.
    -70's is more articulated funk with the rise in popularity of round wound strings, rise of slap/percussive playing as well as led zep/yes/punk type of piano like tone players after more grit. bass and rounds, jazz and rounds especially maple and ash.
    I was born in the 90s so missed all those eras lol but from my recollection and watching a lot of reruns TOTP/youtube vids i've seen quite a few boutique basses such as ken smith/tobias/spector utilising neck through design that became popular in the 80s with the advent of non fender alternative 'boutique' basses.
    - to me 80's seems more polished even cleaner hi fi, pop production, clean, articulate bass tones as well as the rise of more synthesised bass sounds
    I have all my synth sounds sorted as i play keys too and have synths.
    I know its a lot to read above,
    I guess my question is there a general 80s bass sound that a certain type of bass would cater to? or just any old plank?
    Thanks in advance guys!!

  8. Hi guys Im thinking of selling a lefty Yamaha trb 5 . . it has a small chip in the front of the headstock but the rest of the bass is as new apart from some shinny rub from fingers over the pickups. What would be a reasonable price to ask for?
    Thanks in advance

    I might be lookin to trade my Fender MIJ 1970 ri PBass. Olympic white w/black pickguard, Rosewood fretboard, original AND white pickup covers, plus original thumb rest. I think its 3years since manufacture and I bought it brand new from ishibashi in Japan.

    Im after a white(ish) fender jazz. Ideally MIJ. And a straight swap...

    Any interest guys?...I'd even throw in some used d'addario chromes ;-)
