Dom in Dorset Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 They fiddled with the knobs and it sounds great! I loaned it out to a friend who runs a "Dub Club" for use by a visiting band, I couldn't make it that night so I don't know who. I used it tonight and it sounds great , good bass but with a bit more Rickesque grow (I played a jazz)l, my tone pot (on the bass)seems to give me more range of tones too. I haven't had a chance to look carefully at what they did but I think (s)he's taken some of the mid out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 That's always the chance you take... lend some gear out, and it comes back sounding better. Result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] +1 I thought this was going to end with the expensive blue smoke - and some hurt feelings. Glad to hear it still works, and long may it do so.

Bilbo Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I always take out the mid-range. Bass on 8, Treble on 9, mid on 2 - tweaked to deal with the room. Of course, everyone talks about my sound. Everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Cool! I often guessed the settings in rehearsal rooms , due to time issues and dodgy equipment. When I let another guy use my trace Elliott at a gig , he did me a favour. The favour being, totally inaudible in the video that was shot of the gig, leading me to sell the heavy piece of s@it and get a much better amp and sound .

paulears Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I just remembered I leant a keyboard to a friend in 2002, and they've never given it back! They're also a heavy smoker, so all things considered, they can keep it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LITTLEWING Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I loaned a newfound musician mate a 100 watt Orange valve guitar amp in the mid '80s as he didn't own a decent one and he moved house suddenly. Never found out where he went. Somewhere out there I still actually own a classic amp worth a few pretty pennies..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
