Salt on your Bass?

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.

Anyone heard anything more on this? I heard opening of the Gibson garage is due for Feb... Also heard they won't be carrying any mesa guitar gear on opening but didn't get any info on bass product...?

Hey all, any more thoughts, experiences or acquisitions of this amp in the last 12 months? It's piqued my interest, but noone seems to carry stock. ✌️

Hi Rob, Thanks for your thoughts. That's really unhelpful as I've been looking at the berg, enjoying what I've heard, but thought something else might fill the void 😂 I need to try one out I think - are you gigging at all/ rehearsing? Always interesting when these are put in a mix ✌️

Interested in your thoughts in these Rob as you work through them some nice amps there....I've been staring a t a few of them lately and wondering ... ✌️

Had a run of four southern dates last weekend from Thursday to Sunday as part of my doom bands recent album launch. Played B2 Norwich, club 85 Hitchin, the Gryphon Bristol and Komedia Brighton. New material we'd only outed once live prior, and we ran two of the four gigs ourselves which added a bit of extra admin and messing around. That said, it was an awesome little run, well attended and we played pretty well (or at least it felt right on stage). Also had probably the best sound guys I've experienced every night which was awesome. Got to crank out amps a bit which was reeeeally nice. Sadly I had my first major live technical hitch mid set. Lost my bass signal between about minute 3 to minute 9/10.... Went through cables, patching, amp, Di box.... Think the gremlin was the bass...maybe the battery as it's active, but once I'd got my signal back, I was then too afraid to move for fear of losing it again - not great when you're only playing one 43 minute song 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, remainder of the nights were ace and back out next weekend in London. Just thought I'd share. Bristol and Brighton pics. ✌️ Streaming via Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/7lgXKxHzRflsK6LP0nbUJh?si=d-1hX7SwQrmq--vLQ0928Q

Got a short run of dates with Gévaudan promoting our latest album Umbra starting towards the end of next week. For fans of doom/ psychedelia - fans of pallbearer/ YOB/ Warning / black Sabbath/ pink Floyd type vibes. Our latest album is a single 43 minute track exploring depression through eldritch horror - pretty epic. Music links and list of dates and venues below, thanks ✌️ Spotify: Bandcamp: https://gevaudan.bandcamp.com/album/umbra
