Thats cool, for me I managed to keep the A magic favouring the blend towards it in the cold fusion so there is a hint more mids there, but the Broughton is quality, so no complaints. I used to do something similar stacking it with the Hartke VXL

@Opticaleye try setting the B channel up to be almost the same as A, essentially very clean, but pop some more kids in there, run them as cold fusion, parts out the scoop, brightens it a little

But they boast about who has the longest wanger

G&L ASAT silver flake, white binding, #6 neck (old school P bass dimensions) and the extender strap. Bought from the guy who invented the extender and only about 10 made of them. That bass I believe is an unusual spec for it, and it’s next to a semi hollow I had which was an unusual spec, but prob not rare enough a model. This one may be stretching it....

I’ll risk disqualification after drug testing. Sandberg TT Bass, old shape pre 2015. Haüssel pick ups, passive, Hard core aged, reverse matching headstock, P instead of jazz neck profile.

Nice thread. Can I quantify before adding or not. If it’s a production bass, but differently spec’d, not aftermarket but from the factory using components they have, but not necessarily the norm, does that count?

Bingo, Yep that’s true, but again it’s like most electrical items, power it as you are supposed to, gives it the greatest chance of it working effectively. I would wager this is a given across the board

Yep for me, as ever go with your ears and taste

Mine is pretty quiet As it has a metal back plate, sometimes the circuit board can make a connection to it, by judicious foam placement solves that

Yep can happen as with any high gain electrical object , but it’s worth a try again maybe, it’s not like going back to the ex, they are normally an ex for a reason, this was a minor blip

@GisserD Stuart has the TM prototype that flashed up in the top right hand corner. That TT bass is the one I played (smiley face)

@itu is right. I fully recommend the KMA Tyler - great piece of kit keeping a strong clean signal and blending effects through a HPF and a LPF on top of and parallel to your signal. Also the DP3X pedal is amazing

@GisserD essentially I played that bass. Its an absolute effing dream

Bingo

@GisserD I have to ask what SZ is - slow Friday brain....

I recognise that bass in the clip....!

@mangotango pretty sure there is a VM5 on here there may be an aged one on here too

@Skybone is willy wanging different to welly wanging

You’ll get no disagreement from me on how good a unit this thing is. I would say really experiment with it and find tones you like and try weird settings, but that I don’t mean extreme distortion, the real joy in this is finding the clean tone and or a tone just breaking up. That’s the real magic sauce

No worries, all experience is good experience and these things can be fixed with mods, for example the L1500 was made very Treble like by design, swap a resistor, add a second cap to the tone pot, it becomes very nice. I think we all have love for G&Ls but for me anyway the Sandberg love is greater

We can solve this (shameless plug for my thread) let’s get it debated in parliament The future generations of bass players will thank us pioneers

@ebozzz how did you find that, it was buried in page 9, of the manual and about page 3 of the manuals page, which I think were alphabetical? That is top notch delving

Solution

For too long now manufacturers are treating us bassists like we have turds for brains. I am sick of them not reporting their magical unicorn watts in a consistent format. As a community we need clarity, we need to make manufacturers give us consistency for our fickle nature of gear changing every week without blowing our cabs or our ears. 3 parts to this. Do we want Peak or RMS or both? Lets name and shame those companies that don’t provide it. I propose we start a petition, 10,000 signatures we get a response, 100,000 (signatures not watts) we can get it discussed in parliament. Who is with me?!

There are so many corrections and strikethroughs it’s hard to keep track, not sure when the dad joke of ‘Peak your interest’ came in. But @Al Krow when this was created to look to see if it was plausible to use as a back up head, did you actually think it was 2000W RMS? If so that makes it over twice as powerful as one of your heads, and over 3 times as powerful as another. As a back up amp it doesn’t make sense if it’s more powerful than your cabs can handle? How do Mesa rate the M6’s watts on the web site and manual?
