Salt on your Bass?

New Pallbearer is sounding pretty ace. two tracks out now. That's it really ✌️

I'm playing on this one with Gévaudan in Bradford in 5 weeks time - 10th & 11th May. 2 stages, lots of heavy and the highly emotive 40 Watt Sun closing it all off. Should be a good one.

I don't think the prices are out of touch with the market though... TT is priced equivalent to the berg forte HP2 WD is priced equivalent to the GK fusion (appreciate this isn't a class D amp)/forte D D800+ is similar in price to the DG alpha Omicron There are cheaper amps out there though....costs everywhere are increasing and whether the product presents value or not is down to the player. I remain interested in the amps based on my previous experiences with mesa, but I need to try them in anger as I've always struggled with class D. Be cool if any users can drop thoughts and experiences in here anyway....or maybe another thread. ✌️

Coming away from your list of options (which I apreciate probably isn't helpful) and not cheap, but I love the Strymon Volante for ambience. I'd suggest a peek at it. Reasons I like it are: - simple user interface all up top - 8 saved user presets accessible from the top - sublime sounds and a spring reverb to polish them off - midi enabled Anyway, good luck with the hunt I love building these types of sound. Zach's videos are ace might have a few others worth a watch as well: https://youtu.be/aBEPnDuZft8?si=U--ly1hS-5A1S7St

Played the cart and horses, Stratford, again last night. Really like the venue and sound. Bits that kept the night 'interesting' was 2 out of 3 bass cabs died during checks/ first band...really odd...and we didn't get to the bottom of it. We also had a ground loop problem during line check that was fixed through more luck than judgement I think. Anyway, performed reasonably, played pretty well, everyone seemed to have fun ✌️

This Saturday my band are playing on this banger of a line up at the cart and horses, London. For fans of anything doom and heavy ✌️

FFS people..... Anyway, guitarist went to the garage today...amps available from April apparently there's a TT800 on display. Cheers

...it's the same saying...just abridged. Means exactly the same ✌️

Decided to create some more space and make the whole tuning thing a bit easier by shrinking back my wah. There's a small piece of me that still wants to mess with an alternative reverb option, but actually I use three different settings on the h9 and I love the blackhole algo. Probably need to tidy the underside at some point....it's a right mess now 😂✌️

Im still desperately keen to try a tt-800 and a wd800. My biggest frustration with the bass market is availability of multi brand equipment to try at volume. There's a berg here, mesa (nearly) there, genzler, orange, etc etc...to actually a/B them side by side. I have no doubt mesa are well engineered and they're comparable to berg and the upper echelons of the amp market....the proof is always in the pudding in terms of whether it works for you - sound, flexibility, intuitiveness, and hoc features etc. Anyway, I'm gonna be chasing the gibson garage, cause I really want to try em out....hopefully they'll also be available via other retailers in the UK soon 😎

Thanks for the update! Do you know if they'll be available to test and buy, or just on display only? Not meaning to be a pedant! ✌️

Played my first one of the year last night with Gévaudan at the Cart & Horses, Stratford. Sold out night, doomy line up and ace people in all the bands so a really cool vibe all night. Great venue and sound out front as well. We didn't get to sound check.....or line check really, but it just felt like we clicked really well from the off and just had a night where it all felt really tight and delivered as we wanted to deliver our set..... 1 song, 43 minutes of heavy funereal, trady, epic doom. 😎✌️

Bit late posting this.... NWOBHM tonight, Doom tomorrow. Cart and horses London. 😎✌️🧙‍♂️

I used the b9 for a while. As above tracks well to an A. Really liked the sounds it offered and thought it sounded really good in a mix. Then we got synth and keys so dropped off my board. I like it, well worth trying if you're interested in that sound ✌️

I now have two set ups....my live rig and my home rig. Home rig is an iLoud MTM with an ampeg sgt-di and a boss re-2. Sounds awesome, live rig is still the matamp. Really happy with both and having a proper plug and play set up now makes practice more accessible which is cool 😎 Really happy ✌️

Just bought a big money pedal from Green - great experience, well packed, exactly as described, fast out the blocks on postage and great Comms. I'd buy again with confidence. Thanks very much ✌️

Small update on my board....replaced a treble booster with the origin DCX. Sounded pretty ace tonight, need to get to grips with it a bit more but pretty impressed. I need to work out how to potentially best stack it with my fuzz, which may make the muff redundant, but we'll see.

Mines 34 cm from outer edge of the foot to outer edge. 15.5cm front to back. ✌️

I got this from mesa via messenger last night by way of update after asking. Still feels a long way off...hopefully dates are locked though 🤷‍♂️ Hey Andy...thanks for reaching out. Mesa products will be on display at the Gibson Garage, but will not be ready for sales until April 2024.
