    Collection from Bristol preferred, but can arrange shipping by courier. Not able to travel to meet up I'm afraid, as I don't drive.

    Selling my beloved Darkglass head. I need to downgrade my gear a bit, this is more amp than I'll ever need. I bought it used on here, think I've had it a couple of years. As I'm conscious it's probably a few years old now, I've priced it to sell. Even so feel free to float me an offer. Trades considered (for something less powerful with cash my way ideally). Lightly used, everything is in good working order. Supplied with the footswitch and power lead. Some cosmetic scratches and the like, as you'd expect from a used amp, but the only things I can think of to point out would be the box is a bit tatty from being stored, and the Drive knob on the gain section is a bit easier to turn than the others. Here's a link with everything you need to know about the amp, if you download the manual it also has a block chain diagram. https://www.darkglass.com/creation/microtubes-900v2/ Here's my terrible photos:

    Oh nice! Now I want a reverend...

    Only time I experience anything like that is if I have an idea and my gear is somewhere else, so I can't do anything about it. Like an itch I can't scratch.

    Just discovered this stuff, it's great! Basically latin flavoured 60s psychedelic rock from Brazil. Quite similar to Zamrock I think. Some great basslines. Can see how this stuff has influenced some modern psych bands I like too. Any bands/records/playlists I shouldn't miss? Is there new stuff being made in this vein? Always looking for new (weird) stuff to listen to am I!

    Looks amazing, always liked the reverend designs. Like, classic and vintage styled, but still very distinct, and not just another p/j copy or whatever. How heavy is it? For some reason, they look substantial. Never actually tried one, but in my head they're heavy. Lol.

    Glad someone said Billy Gould. Great bassist.

    Can't say I've played the Gretsch but I had the U5 for a while, and it was great. Probably like, third best bass I've ever owned. It's with a close friend now, so I know where it is. One thing I'll say about em, they don't really sound like a short scale imo, if you're into that wooden thumpy thing a lot of em do.

    I think if I live to be 85, I hope I'll still be trying to get a band together. 🙃

    Bruce Thomas's playing and tone on This Year's Model is amazing, and I feel like he's kinda underrated

    Just to offset the sausage fest somewhat, I'll just mention some of my favourite bass players who are also women. 🙃 Annie Holland - Elastica Laura Kennedy - Bush Tetras Ayse Hassan - Savages Kim Deal - Pixies Tina Weymouth - Talking Heads Jenny Lee Lindberg - Warpaint Josephine Wiggs - Breeders

    Hi all, this is no big deal or anything, but I just wanted to state for the record, and for the avoidance of confusion, since joining the forum, a lot of things have changed for me (lol), I'm trans, and I now go by May in person, and my pronouns are she/her. Thanks for all the feedback! 🙂 May.

    Flawless transaction with dub junkie, excellent seller. Good coms, fast shipping, well packaged, can't ask for more. 🙂

    Maybe it's just a preference thing? I'm a "there are no wrong answers" kind of girl. Or maybe it's more that there are no right ones lol. 🙃

    My best acquisition this year was definitely a set of cobalt flats for my precision. Totally changed the sound (in an excellent way), and playing experience.

    I'll give my rig a try at practice and report back. I'm not disagreeing with you, you may be right, but if so I kinda wanna understand why, cuz in theory it should all work fine, it's all the same stuff, there are plenty of good sounding solid state guitar amps, and any issues with frequencies should be solvable with eq. 10" speakers can't be the problem either, cuz there are some legendary guitar amps that use a 4x10. Maybe it's partly a taste thing, like direct, abrasive guitar tones are my fave, one of my favourite sounds is a Sunn Beta Lead (King Buzzo) and it's basically exactly the same as the Sunn Beta Bass imo, both just high gain solid state amps. For lower gain stuff, Wilko Johnson on his HH100 springs to mind.

    Not sure now that you mention it, I'll have a look next time I'm there. Also will check the shape switch position and make sure the subharmonics thingy isn't turned up next time I'm playing through it.

    I play through one of these at a loose jam I go to regularly, it's like the house amp, and I just can't get a decent sound out of the thing. It's just always muddy and scoopy and disappears in the mix. Is there some kind of knack to it I'm missing? I always try pushing the mids, but they don't sound pleasing at all.
  20. Vin Venal
    I have a guitar amp, just a lil 15 watt all tube affair, but I've been messing about with just playing through what I've already got set up bass wise, and honestly it sounds sick. I even keep all the settings the same on me pedals and everything. I play in D Standard (bass and guitar). For doom/stoner/sludge sounds this would probably be a good setup for a guitarist. It's maybe a bit harsh for some people's tastes, but I dig abrasive guitar sounds, and if you roll off the tone you can still get some vintagey sounds. Anyway, I'm enjoying having one rig to rule them all, was wondering if anyone else did similar? Pic for attention

    Everything I need right there, including the dry shampoo lol

    I'd actually prefer a tastefully refinished bass to an absolutely knackered one. For vintage, or vintage looking basses I prefer a kind of NOS look.

    I needed a very compact board which would fit in my backpack with my class D head, cuz I normally have to lug gear everywhere on public transport. Thought about a chopping board, but in the end I went with a small tea tray! 😅

    They don't at the moment. I actually emailed them to ask if they had any plans to make one. They said they'd consider it.

    Yeah I wanna know how the Venture series compares to these. I haven't got one any more, but have owned the PF-500 and the PF-800. I liked the preamp in them so much, I keep one in pedal form (the classic analogue bass preamp is, I'm pretty sure, just the preamp out of a PF-350) on my board. The PF-350/500/800 were a great sounding line of amps imo, although I agree they weren't especially loud (my darkglass 900 is waaay louder). Except the fan, that was really fkin loud lol.
