Bump. Fruity pedal, grit to grrr. £35 including postage. -
Sold.

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Fq0NRfeKs"]Here's one reason [/url]why it's Ampeg for me. -
Nice, very very nice - great video too. I'd fall for these amps in a big way if they weren't orange. Superficial, I know.

[quote name='spaz91' post='718288' date='Jan 19 2010, 07:32 PM']I know someone who would be interested. Would you recommend this to an overenthusiastic 15 year old metalhead who just wants GAIN up the arse?[/quote] Most definitely. Plug into this little puppy, and he'll s**t himself.

Bumpage.

[url="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=38698598"]Just found a video demo of the pedal on bass[/url] - pretty sick distortion.

VT Bass sold.

They look like they've covered themselves in glue and run through Widow Twannkey's dressing room.... ... but what is this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvHFtF1rdRo&feature=related"]gorgeous bass?[/url] Love the sound too: crisp, crunchy and meaty.

[quote name='cm261' post='712774' date='Jan 14 2010, 05:10 PM']Yeah I noticed that and was very surprised Also, £90 posted for this thing, with the original tin, sample settings, etc.?! This is a steal, surely. Maybe people are getting pretty serious about holding out for the VT Bass Deluxe?[/quote] Hi there - yeah, you could be right about the deluxe version. I'm just selling cos I have an Ampeg and Sansamp, so I don't really need it - plus I need the cash. Also, I imagine the deluxe version will be a lot more expensive. Thanks for noticing me!

Bump.

I use an EBS Octabass which is really good. Can't really think of many songs with octavers in the bass at the moment - Sledgehammer is one. Trevor Horn playing Close to the Edit live at the Prince's Trust is another - amazing sound on that. Anyone got a link?
-
Any takers? Maybe this post is invisible - two other VT Bass pedals sold here in the last couple of days for the same price and more...
-
Prices dropped.

To me, there's not a lot in it. I'd go for the Paradriver cos it has a mid control, and the Bass Driver doesn't. But then some like the scooped tubey tone of the Bass Driver. Also, I suppose you can always turn up the mid on your amp to compensate with the Bass Driver.

[b]Boss Heavy Metal HM-2[/b] This discontinued 80s pedal sounded rank with guitar but has recently [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=404636"]found favour among some bassists.[/url] Very good if you're after a big beefy distortion and an almost synthlike sound. [url="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=38698598"]Video demo[/url]. [list] [*]Discontinued pedal, made in Taiwan. [*]Keeps lows well with tone controls. [*][b]£35 posted.[/b] [/list] [attachment=39678:IMG_1902.JPG][attachment=39679:IMG_1901.JPG]

Been some interest. Any takers?

Cheers Fred - yep, US model - never noticed that before.

Hi, I've had this Ampeg SVT 410 HLF (Classic) for a couple of years and used it at 4 gigs. It whacks out some welly - nice if you're looking for that SVT rumble. Not to be confused with the cheaper B-series version (B-410HLF). [list] [*]LF Drivers: 4 x 10” [*]Voice Coil: 2” [*]Magnet Weight (each): 30 oz [*]HF Drivers: Horn/Driver [*]Voice Coil: 1” [*]Magnet Weight (each): 8 oz [*]RMS Power Handling: 500-Watts [*]Frequency Response (-3dB): 48Hz-18kHz [*]Usable Low Frequency (-10dB): 28Hz [*]Nominal Impedance: 4-Ohms [*]Sensitivity: 98dB [*]Maximum SPL: 125dB [*]Dimensions (W x H x D inches): 24 x 30 x 19 [*]Shipping Weight: 110 Pounds [*]Handling Weight: 85 Pounds [/list] It has a few scuffs but is in pretty good condition. No faults and everything sounds as it should. [b]£350 collected[/b]. I will deliver at buyer's expense - but I have no idea what courier would ship a 110 lb box for a reasonable price. If you want it and know of a courier, I can arrange. Cheers, Steve [attachment=39431:IMG_1874.JPG][attachment=39432:IMG_1884.JPG][attachment=39433:IMG_1882.JPG]

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='690856' date='Dec 21 2009, 06:18 PM']So anyway, what does all this contribute to the OP's review?[/quote] Is there an echo in here?
-
Cheers Paul - best laugh I've had all day!

[quote name='4000' post='690579' date='Dec 21 2009, 12:54 PM']I also used to use an Ampeg 4x10 in rehearsal and my Compact is much thicker and bigger sounding IME than that was, which just goes to show how people's experiences differ.[/quote] +1 with my experience with the Big One. My Ampeg 410HLF has plenty of lows - but it just seems to smother everything with its sheer presence - to the detriment of clarity.

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='690561' date='Dec 21 2009, 12:36 PM']I don't see how any of this adds to this specific review, but maybe that's just me[/quote] Now, that's a good point!

[quote name='Toasted' post='690545' date='Dec 21 2009, 12:18 PM']So, you'd say that there's been no hyping of Barefaced cabs on Basschat and all discussion has been totally objective?[/quote] Not that I've read, Toastie. Tis all semantics.

[quote name='Mr.T' post='690520' date='Dec 21 2009, 11:50 AM']That hit the nail on the head! Advice and opinions = Useful. Hype = Not useful. (IMO).[/quote] Talk about stating the totally bloody obvious! I haven't read one Barefaced review on here that I've perceived as hype. Just people giving their honest accounts of what they think. Maybe it's more down to the way you're interpreting them. But that's your perception - not the intention of the writer. Reading a review and taking it as just one opinion = Useful Reading a review and taking it as hype = Not useful
