cd_david Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) This is my gigging rig with in my opinion the most transparent but flexible preamp Ive ever used, I like it so much that the whole rig has never changed in 20 years, except for replacing a DBX 163x with the DBX 160. [URL=http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Basses%20To%20View/DSC_0047_zps2dcf31e4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/DSC_0047_zps2dcf31e4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] This is my house preamp, Aguilar TLC into this and into a 76 Bassman. I just use this for a bit warmth.

BassBod Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Ohh..I'll get me camera.... That took a few days, but here's my ultimate solution, [attachment=139233:IMG_0549.JPG] Alembic F2B running into SWR MR Tone Controls. Very different flavours, but they work so well together and make using two different instruments a lot easier. Signal then goes into a passive DI, but the SWR also has an XLR out I keep forgetting to use. Edited July 17, 2013 by BassBod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Would a "vintage" Trace Elliot GP11 be too boring? Personally I would consider it a true classic, and one of the first dedicated bass preamps but I know opinions may differ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Can"t post pictures at the moment, but my SWR220 is my current squeeze. Very flexible piece of kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBod Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Why two? One para eq is enough to drive me to distraction….but two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd_david Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I suppose it could look ott but if you equate it to a graphic it's only 8 bands. That said, it's a lot more flexible, the reason I've got a second is so I can have two basses eq'd differently so I'll be bypassing one preamp to use the other and vise versa.

Horizontalste Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Jeez you guys. My head spins when the amp has anymore than a three band rotary, how'dya cope with that lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Go back to "flat" often…and see if you've improved the sound. And always re-set to flat in a new room. Works wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 [quote name='TraceAmp' timestamp='1373520492' post='2138485'] [/quote] Awesome collection! I use the SVP-CL and SVP-PRO too, love both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
