Kay into Ditto Tube DI into Garageband

Nothing else

Somehow trebly with the Kay i guess 😁

It's got D'addario tapewounds on it so it's got quite a low of bass but not the huge pillowly low end I normal play with, but that's exactly what I wanted it for that plunky beatles bass tone. I'm using it on 1 track in the studio next week with a felt pic, a bit of palm muting, the the tone wide open.

So far it's doing what I need it to and it's oh so light

Do you play the little Kay through fuzz or overdrive?

Not tried it yet through all my pedals yet, the only fuzz I have at the moment is the Malekko Diabolik which is just brutal on everything. 

Basically I got it for that plunky short scale sound but also as a studio toy for when someone's like can we just try something different. Which is the point that this and the fuzz and octave pedals come out 😂

I very nearly bought your mustang but it was too proper of a bass for what I want right now 😂😇 but man do I love shortscales

From practice today

’08 Fender AVRI P Bass

’70s Kay K1B

Practice rooms peavey 1x18 😂

Mine has been used loads in lockdown with remote recording and has been a godsend.  Like you say, it just adds a little ‘something’ extra - thicker and more musical to my ears

This is what I originally wanted and sparked the idea, particularly when a Khan came up for sale recently.

That said as a huge Leland Sklar he used a Groove Tubes Di for most of the 00's so it had always been in the back of my mind, you just never see them for sale in the UK

I think we're in the same boat, I didn't need a tube di when sessions were held at studios but we're all doing more and more home recording and we need ways of making those £100 interfaces sound better 😂

Double-edged sword though, yeah would upset tracking, but then having the OC2 first means that the fuzz is going to compress all the sub out from it, assuming that they’re used together.
So really just depends on ones usage.

Si

But with the Diabolik you've got the clean signal to blend in, so with the OC-2 first that's OC-2 signal (clean) and OC-2 Signal Fuzz'd coming through and blendable and with you blending your clean signal on the OC-2 it's 3 layers of signal going on.

Best thing I could do is put the OC-2 and Diabolik in the LS-2 (accept the issue of a buffer) and have the option to run them in series or parallel and in any order.

But currently playing Americana and country, it stays at home for when I'm jamming those Dua Lipa covers 😇

Why a tube DI?

More common that you think, see A designs REDDI. Same clean signal you expect from any DI box but with more harmonic content, additionally they almost always have a gain stage to push a hotter signal if you want to.

This one specifically has a huge transformer in it as well which helps with the quality of sound.

Live I wouldn't recommend it, too subtle, too big and too heavy of a box but in the studio it's that extra piece of magic.

I primarily run IEM's so between the bass and a good quality DI there isn't really a lot else in my chain for me to spend money on. 😎

Additionally, now with foamed out Peli case.

No, someone else snagged it. My own fault for messing around.

For size comparison 😂

New Tube DI Day

Prepping for the studio.

Same board, different mess

Good idea Tayste having an extension board for when you need it 👍🏼.

Lee, I’ll keep you posted when I can use them properly (soon now hopefully 😁)

Cheers, I played around with the order of each and every pedal and those 2 ended up first and also happen to not suit anything I’m doing at the moment 😂

But all of it fits in/on my gig bag with any of the Di’s I end up taking.

So it’s quite easy to take all the flavours to practice or the studio.

I have exactly the same one, same competition blue finish for sale (serial number 505 453, year 1974) except that I have no idea how much it costs these days (?).

The bass was purchased new 47 in France years ago and never left my home studio ever since, no gigs, no concerts, nothing.

I am new to this Forum. Does anyone know what would be a realistic price range for my bass? 

Thanks for your help!

Does it have a matching headstock because if it did we might need to talk 😂

Don't know if this is poor form, but I've declined the offer of £1399 on this, I think there is an agreement to be had between 1300 and 1399. But at the moment I'm just holding off (my initial offer was a bit rash).

So if anyone wants to go for it feel free. If not I'll likely have lost my senses again in a few days to a fortnight and snag it.

Well I’ve got a counter offer from the seller currently that I’m nursing 😬 feel like I’m stepping on your toes

I’m endeavouring to own this one 😂

Ah, that's a shame (for my very very specific use case) but thanks for taking the time to answer.

GLWTS

Obscure question: If using the Aux in, does the Aux in audio come out of both the phones and the output or just the phones?

Suppose same question extends to the DI output too.

How much for just the RNDI?

I wasn't looking for one, but now I want one. And I have absolutely no need for it anyway!

 

Well you get it so it's easier for me to have it eventually

Was hoping for a 5 but thanks for the info @AndyTravis

How many strings and what fretboard wood (literally light or dark 😬)

I'm sorta hoping you're also bored with the PB300 and you have it in Red 😂🤣😂

A good idea, until I cave and add 2 octavers and a compressor, then breakout the PT nano again
