    GZR pj set and a kig0n Blend/Tone loom and it’s a done deal😀

    Been enjoying playing this a lot but alas it’s still up for grabs

    I whacked some Bart’s into mine and a Ki0g0n wiring loom and it’s a nice improvement over the stock electronics. Mine is heavy at over 4kg but the balance is great and I’m not that aware of it being overly heavy whilst wearing/playing it - I do have wide straps so I’m sure than helps. I always like coming back to a jazz bass especially with a little hair of dirt as an always on tone - there’s just something about that scoop! The Bart’s sound good in this one and I’m very pleased with the overall package. The neck really is a thing of joy and was the deciding factor for me in opting to try one. Got my final gig with the 80’s band this weekend and I’m stoked that I’ve got all the upgrades done and tested ‘on the road’ in time for that show. It fits the band sound really well and has that nice zing for slap without being too brittle in the top end.

    NPD T-Rex Bass Juice

    krispn replied to ped's topic in Effects

    @ped I just nabbed one of these and I’m playing it primarily with a jazz bass too. Just revisiting this thread and I’ve pretty much the exact same settings for a pleasing always on sound, maybe just a ‘dot’ more of the mix added. I’m looking forward to experimenting with a few more settings but as an always on pedal the settings as posted and a jazz work well. I have stacked it with an DG Alpha Omega small enclosure pedal and they’re a great combination when combined - the TRex settings as posted and then varying the A/O ‘voice and drive’ with the the DG (low boost switch off). I sent my mate my VMT for a loaner and just whacked the Bass Juice in to replace it and it’s been a great addition. Really looking forward to stacking the TRex and the VMT down the line too.

    My trade offer still stands 😉

    The three pick up arrangement is really good and creates a kind of ‘ramp’ but also allows you to anchor your thumb from the bridge to neck so you can really use that placement to sound deeper or brighter with ease. My DBird is up for grabs as my 80’s band is dissolving if folks are interested 😉😉 it listed in the FS section.

    I've been running my pedal board into this getting my levels all correct and proper and then sending the signal from the Ditto to the desk where the ditto can do all the signal/level make up and not affect my pedal board levels etc. Sounds duh simple but really works well and would be perfect for folk wanting to warm up digital fx units like a HX Stomp.

    Love these cabs. Wish I needed a second one!
  9. krispn
    It’s a fine starting place😀

    Spark booster 4 knob version would give you a clean boost with two additional settings -mids boost or ‘fat’ boost along with a bass and treble eq, gain and level. The bass is set at 80Hz so is a good fit for bass and for about £30-40 used it’s an absolute steal. As a clean boost/2B eq it’s perfectly decent and should push the front end of the Ashdown. I have a Fender Pro800 which is a super clean fast amp. The Fender Trapper I have was used for an amp like drive in front of that but it’s more amp drive than fuzz. It’s a two button pedal with a clean blend and x-over. I also use some DG pedals the AO and VMT small enclosure when I want to mix things up. The VMT is a killer always on pedal for what I need. Finding just one do all pedal often results on some compromises and for a budget of £300 you could very easily fill a pedal train Nano with a couple of decent dedicated units and have the options you want/need without he second guessing. I mean it’s a slippery road right but…😀

    Been running this into the amp and the crispness and clarity it adds is really impressive. I know folk use all manner of descriptions but it really does add an extra level to the bass - I'm playing a £202 jazz and it sounds like a much more expensive bass going through this unit, kinda like the bandwidth is expanded if that makes sense. Some GT blurb... The DITTO is a single channel unit that works as a tube DI and/or a tube preamp with +30 dB gain. Groove Tubes claims a dynamic range of 118 dB, bandwidth of 6 Hz to 200KHz at unity, an A Weighted noise spec of EIN -90, and total harmonic distortion of .013%. The front panel sports a 1/4" input, along with a 1/4" loop output at unity, and a balanced transformer XLR output. The loop output is a direct feed off the input, and does not run through either of the tubes. The XLR output is on a custom wound Nickel core transformer. There is also a volume knob on the front of the unit, allowing for the 30 dB of gain. The tubes used in the DITTO are a GT12AX7 followed by a GT12AU7.

    Case and a gut shot for the geeks

    It’s the most solidly built piece of gear I think I’ve ever seen!!

    To those asking via PM… Pics of the peli case to follow. Just realised I don’t have any saved on the phone and not back home until later.
  15. krispn
    For sale only - price includes a peli hard case, fitted foam insert and tracked postage in the U.K. This is a killer DI which provides both tube and transformer goodness to your signal chain. Warm up your digital fx modeller (I ran this with a HX Stomp to FOH) or simply go direct with a full and mighty Tube/Tx DI sound. I’ve really enjoyed using this unit but moving back to my Basswitch it already has a TX on the DI out as does one of my other pedals. There’s some online reviews and I’ve never had a REDDI to compare it to but man this thing can fatten up a bass tone!

    No bad guys here just explaining myself. Back to the thread.

    My point was simply ‘word play’ - the chat about the hardware and specifically the bridge whereas the teacher failed to recognise the Gotoh tuners which made their way into the products actual name. I was just having some fun but you’re right the DNFTT acronym should only mean one thing and I should have said Do Not Forget The Tuners. There’s no place for fun on basschat. As you were…
  18. krispn
    Don’t forget the tuners 😉

    Fair enough if you're not impressed but if I was your student I'd be super happy with a bass which feels as good as the HB. When I was learning cheap basses were really just that - cheap and poor quality, terrible intonation and often quite difficult to set up correctly. I have encountered none of this with this admittedly new bass. Time will tell. Now onto other considerations... Will I change out the electronics? Maybe as I'd quite like some Bartolini's or some other brad I may happen to prefere but I'll be gigging it this Friday and Saturday and I'm really looking forward to it.

    Tuned and plugged in... For £202 delivered this is simply ridiculous value! Stuck it thru a couple of eq pedals (Colourbox v.2 which to be fair makes everything sound good and a Spark Booster -4 knob version which just elevated the basic sound and would work well as an always on unit with this bass in place of a 2B eq a la OBP-1 or Sadowsky type unit. They both added added more to a fundamentally decent J bass sound.
  21. krispn
    Arrived. Looks great and I’ve left it to settle - I’ll tune and set it up later then it’ll get a workout!
  22. krispn
    Was this you running the bass through the new pa?
  23. krispn
    Mines arriving tomorrow!
  24. krispn
    Very promising indeed!
  25. krispn
    Still a solid signal chain
