Salt on your Bass?

My rigs. Most gigs I'll use the two 210's or a lone 212 cab, but outdoor gigs I'll bring the bigger stuff. 

How do the strategy and prodigy compare to the 400?

Great array of rigs! ✌️

A few small updates to my board...h9 has made a reappearance to keep it fairly compact on a pt2, gone with a smaller dedicated tuner, added two dedicated outs on the side and added a riser for the Volante to make tap and hold accessible. Really impressed with it.....considering it's just a bit of metal. 

May be one small change coming but this set up works really well for me.

How well do these work on bass and can you blend the signal, ie a little less organ and more pronounced bass?

Thanks.

 

Works well on bass down to A, maybe a wobbly-ish G Excellent A and above. Blend knob on the pedal gives you blend control  to taste. 

It sounds ace

EHX B9 in top condition. Layer some massive organ effects into your sound, sounds amazing. 

£125 gets you the pedal, PSU and paperwork, the box, second class postage. 

Any questions drop me a line. PayPal / bank transfer available. Price is cleared funds. 

Cheers ✌️

I've only seen a IS price so far at 899. I thought it was 'reasonable'/ comparable compared to other products like the Meris LVX.... I guess line 6 offers more in the way of ampless option though, but I love eventide sounds.

Looks like eventide have leaked some info. I'm really interested in this, even though I've just readded an H9 to my board. 

Most extensive info I've seen so far:

EVENTIDE H90 FEATURES

To get a better sense of how much the Eventide H90 has to offer, feast your eyes on the lengthy list of features below.

Preloaded with 62 effect algorithms and hundreds of program presets

Includes all 52 effect algorithms from the H9 Max Harmonizer with enhanced features and improvements

10 new effect algorithms: Polyphony, Prism Shift, Bouquet Delay, Head Space, Weedwacker, Even-vibe, Wormhole, Instant Flanger, Instant Phaser, and SP2016 Reverb

New low-latency Polyphonic Pitch Shifting with SIFT (Spectral Instantaneous Frequency Tracking) technology

ARM-based architecture lays the foundation for new and exciting creative effects.

Use two algorithms at once per Program

True spillover between Programs

Route effects in series or parallel

Instrument or Line level operation

Two mono inserts or one stereo insert can be positioned anywhere in the signal chain

Dual mode for processing two independent stereo signals at once

Five push-turn knobs for more tactile control

Two expression inputs for pedals, up to 3-button auxiliary switches, and CV signals

Use H90 Control software to edit Programs, create lists, and update firmware on a Mac or PC

Built-in tuner

Rationalised a touch following an atom upgrade to include the tuner capability. Bit lighter, fewer pedals and everything fits on a pt2 now...see how long this lasts I guess... I do like the h9...but I also really like the MERIS mercury 7...

First practice for us in over 2 years, and the first since losing Kev, our guitarist to covid in January 2021, we'll be having more.

You still got the matamp? How's the head of doom?

I regret selling my mf delay.

My gigrig atom is in for an upgrade, so just went with this simple set up at rehearsal tonight instead of fuzzes and delays and verbs.... I've only just recently reacquired the XXL. I absolutely love it. Wonderfully filthy distortion. Don't see many around these days...shame. I love it. 

Thanks for all the thoughts and recommendations. For the interim, I've landed on an iLoud MTM which I picked up for £120. I'll be adding a second in the future but initially for low volume practice, it's ace. Need the second before I de headphone when mixing etc obviously. 

As a result I've quite got into preamps which I haven't really taken much notice of before

Final pre recording update to my board. Been after a chorus and took a flyer on the TC 3rd dimension. I like it a lot and think it works pretty well, so chucked it on. Pretty out of space now so need to stop again but really happy with the sounds I'm getting

Nice set up. What loops are you using? I've just run out on my atom I think. 

Im pretty new to midi but found it reasonably straight forward with the g3. Just have to cross reference pedal manual with gigrig set up. I'm better at pc than cc though and I also have to write down patches and presets or I forget

I've taken to running a head, plus a head as a boost as my standard rehearsal rig lately. Just getting into stereo on my delay as well. Heavy but very, very enjoyable.... And it crushes

Sold a twonotes cabm to PG - really smooth transaction. Would definitely transact again.

A Sadowsky Metro (made by Warwick) might be a good option. 
 

I use a ten year old Sadowsky Metro Not for full on doom but it could definitely cover whatever ground you want. Looks vintage enough but can get somewhere close to vintage Fender tones if you want.

 

For heavy fuzz tones I actually prefer passive basses.

 

Edit: Sandberg might be worth a look too.

I really should try a passive at some point....

Thank you. Genre wise it’s very riff heavy - a lot of doubled runs with guitar and only one guitarist so needs to occupy space during the solos. More modern end of the genre too I’d say but with vintage vibes - similar to Green Lung. 
 

to be clear I’ve always hated p-basses 😂 hence why I’m not sure what to look at. G&Ls maybe or lakland/sadowsky?? 

We're a one guitar band as well. More trad end with some more modern passages.

 I've always used a fuzz as a result to cover space, together with volume. 

I'm the same with pbasses but can't say I have a recommendation from your list I'm afraid. Lakeland sticks out to me with the Geezer connection. I've always just gone for whatever I personally liked the look of/ playability. If it doesn't 'fit' the genre but you make it sound ace and enjoy playing it then it'll become a genre popular off the back of you

Pretty much as thodrik said tbh. It depends what type of doom you're playing as well. I'd be surprised if the orange didn't cut it in any sub genre (amp worship through to trad) - pretty sure Boris use one as a part of their set up somewhere. What sort of style are you going for? What's the band set up?

If you're thinking of changing i always go for big iron (abm type amp, Peavy as you're looking, or full valve) just my preference as it feels like they hit harder and are a 'better' aesthetic.

Pbass should be a good place to start if you like it. I now use a Spector in my band (active 5). Had a thunderbird prior (active).

Maybe try a fuzz or wider type drive with the orange to get you into whatever territory you're aiming at. Muff is a good starter.... I've always used fuzzes in doom projects. 

Cab wise, I use a barefaced retro 210 (X3). Vintage vibe, lightweight, but not a cheap option. Used 6 or 810s go for silly money these days if you can handle the weight and load. 

A lot of bands we play with though still end up using house gear on heavy rotation gigs....so cab isn't necessarily a key factor/ consideration depending on what you're going for. If you have loads of power, you'll never get to crank it if you have too much cab. Bit of a balance these days on a standard stage....big cab, lower wattage head will do it, as will smaller cab with high wattage head in most circumstances. 

Hope there's a useful thought in there somewhere 😂

Bought a pedal from Dean. Excellent condition, as described, great transaction and very helpful. 

Wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again. 

Cheers! ✌️

Happy to post for £5, I go between Wellingborough and Stevenage weekly. PayPal friends and family/ bank transfer preferred. Cheers

@lownote  @Linus27 barefaced built them with it, as per the 810 .... And I think the 610 options. I'm not sure of you can purchase a grill separately, Alex was always a bit worried about agro of postage. I ended up with a 610 in black as well, but took it to the factory for a refit.

Would love to see your Two10 with the black cloth grill as it's something I've thought about doing. Drop me a PM if easier.

 

Good luck with the sale.

I run 3 modular - used to own a 610 but this gives me more flexibility. 1 head most of the time but recently been introducing a second. I much prefer them in black ✌️

Hi, I replaced my 210 grill with a black version sometime ago. Had this kicking around still so figured I'd list it. Not sure if post is viable in terms of cost etc. I'm just north of Wellingborough and I rehearse in Stevenage so can meet/ drop between the two. 

Happy to provide more pics if needed. Any questions drop me a line. Cheers
