me too ... and I love your coat too!! 🙂 

The Model T is about 15 years old and was made in Korea. Has the Seymour Duncan passive pickups. I mostly use the front pickup and add just a little back pickup to taste.

The coat is genuine 1980s fashion which I picked up 2nd hand recently.  Perfect for the genre:)

Love my model t.

Thanks. 
so unlikely to be friendly on a pedal board would be a fair estimate? 

When I sold it I was trying to build a board that would run happily off a Volto so it did work for that.  Now that I'm plugging the Zuma into the wall with a stacking plug it would be fine.

Amazing sounding pedal though.

The Carl Martin Bass Chorus is one of those "why, why, why on earth did I ever sell that????" pedals... a real beauty of a unit

Funnily enough, the exact unit that I sold about 8 years ago has just come up second hand locally here in nz. It is the older style with the mains power wired in which was one of the reasons I sold it in the first place.

Dragged my big board out of storage recently for a rehearsal. 

Ok, so it's a bit of a tiddler compared to some of the monsters on here recently. I've gone for classy and portable.  Power is through a Strymon Zuma on the underside.  This does everything I need, and I can pick it up in one hand at the end of the night.  My first chorus was a Carl Martin, so it's nice to have one on board again even though  the Corona and mxr bcd were both very good.

Friday night's rig...

Last night's rig... pretty good for a Tuesday!

3 rigs at the moment, albeit temporarily as one will have to move on sadly!

 

Which ashdown head is that.  I’ve got my eye on a ctm 100 to beef up my little bastard..

Gorgeous Bass, congrats!

I just noticed that the bridge appears to be identical to the one in my Schecter 004 fwiw.

Hi everyone, I'll be stoked if you check out our recent album release gig. Recorded live in Otautahi Christchurch, New Zealand.

Here's a link to 9ne YouTube vid  but you will find a handful here if you like what you hear.

Thanks in advance. 

That's pretty damn tight!  Nice one.

Nice!  Well done.

Nice!  I think you've convinced me to learn how to use a pick.

Nice one!

Hi Everyone,

I'd be chuffed if you check out my most recent recording.  For those of you that are interested, the bass part was on a Schecter 004, through an Ashdown Little Bastard, Trace Elliot 208 cab, miced with an AT4040.  The Drums and bass were recorded live, while pretty much everything else was overdubbed.  I did the mixing in my home studio.

Great work!

Nice....

It does record beautifully, I used it on my current project.  I’ll have to hook it up to the guitar cabinet and give it a go.

I played gigs with the LB30 and my barefaced 210. small gigs where the guitarists were only using those tiny orange things and the drummer played lightly and it was Just loud enough , sounded great to my ears but I’m realistic. It’s only a 30w amp no matter how those watts are made.

 

I don’t think they intended the LB30 to be a giggling amp. I just really like the tone from it at home , no annoying fan sounds. It just has a lovely tone built into it . I’m sure it would sound great in a studio.
 

One unintended bonus with this amp is that it works very well with guitar as a “platform” amp, ie it doesn’t have a big dirty gain stage  but it sounds really warm and mellow with a guitar and at 30w plenty loud for guitar as a back up amp.

Zombie post!

This was my gig rig recently on a small stage, in a modest pub. We are a covers band.  My guitarists both use 20W amps with 12" speakers, and the drummer is not loud.  The little bastard was able to keep up without going through the PA but there was not much left over.  So yes, it can be done with efficient speakers in the right setting. 

I love the LB for recording and solo practice. 

Merry Christmas, everyone.  My rig from last Friday's gig. 

I thought the bass butler had an optical compressor on the clean channel?

Very cool, congratulations!

Welcome!

Damn! The GAS is strong with this one…

For gigging I want ergonomics, stability, and tone so my Ibanez Grooveline wins by a mile.  At home, I’m more of a sucker for good looks so I want looks, and then Tone.  My Epiphone Jack Casady tends to win.  Unless I’m feeling the slab-like beauty of my Schecter 004.
