It's clearly been looked after well.

 

Funnily enough - while I enjoyed that 37 inch Low B, I'm mainly playing shortscales now!

The low B is incredible through my Barefaced cab. Sounds like an earthquake 🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨 🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨

I recognise that! 

Used to be mine.

 

Glad it is still surviving! 

It is most definitely surviving. 🤠

It's a fantastic bass, unfortunately I've bought to much stuff lately so something has to go.

Colour shift is due to lighting and camera settings.

Enjoy....

The LAB is an optical compressor. It uses custom optocouplers to achieve up to 30dB of musical-sounding compression.

We loved how in the recording studio even with tons of compression the old optical compressors such as the LA-2A, the LA-3, the LA-4 sounded smooth and natural.

The essence of the LAB's sound comes from the fast attack and slow release times of the custom optocoupler. The optocoupler's behaviour is quite complex, and program-dependent. It can't be modelled with simple resistor-capacitor networks. We wanted the pure response of the optocoupler to define the LAB's dynamics, and not supplement that with RC filtering.

To that end, we tried out just about every off-the-shelf optocoupler on the market, but ended up designing and manufacturing our own custom units. There's an interplay between dynamics, noise floor, distortion, and available compression on the one hand, and the opto's electrical parameters on the other. Since nothing commercially available fit the bill, we built our own.

With just two controls – compression and gain make-up – the LAB is fast and simple to use. It sounds great on bass and electric guitar, and the noise floor is impressive – quiet enough for studio use. It really shines on acoustic guitar, vocals and drums.

API TranZformer LLX Transformer / Bass EQ, Boost and Overdrive Pedal

The API Tranzformer LLX is the latest in APIs line of guitar pedals. The LLX incorporates APIs legendary EQ circuit into a versatile and compact bass guitar pedal. The LLX offers +/- 15dB of gain on 3 bass guitar specific frequencies; 100Hz, 400Hz and 2kHz. The gain stage can be switched from clean boost to overdrive, which drives the input OpAmp and adds even more tone. The LLX also features a buffered bypass, -20dB output pad, selectable peak/shelf for upper frequency range, transformer output and of course the classic API sound.

You lucky, lucky guitarists! 

We might have started working on the electronics for our first bass amp in 2017 but the skinny stringers are the first to get a Barefaced amp product! We've combined a really nice preamp design which is super clean and accurate with a crazy efficient amp module.

This miracle of tone (or maybe absence of tone?) and power has been squeezed into a tiny package that fits into every single AVD guitar cab we make, right from the tiny Upsetter 110 to the bassist-scaring Upsizing 215.

There are two choices for the Activier - the 1 (single channel, i.e. mono), and the 2 (dual channel, i.e. stereo). The Activier 1 has a single input, single gain knob, and single external speakon for an extension speaker. The Activier 2 has two inputs, two gain knobs and two external speakons. Logical!

Rumour has it that if you follow the link in our bio then you can place a pre-order...

And BASSISTS- we have an update for you next week...

Sam bought a cab from me. He is a real gentleman. I recommend him as a buyer with no hesitation.

It was great to meet another fantastic Basschatter.

Does it come with the rack mount ears?

It's not hard. I fitted it under the FB by squishing it down  a bit. Also worked between the bridge arch.
