Evaluating my sonic arsenal, I have hereby decided my signature sound for my current blues band is created by combining:

 

Sandberg VM4

Gallien Krueger MB200

Barefaced Two10


 

Theres a warmth and authority that really appeals to me. 

 

Do you have a sound that makes you smile with contentment?

Passive-mode  sire v7 with my zoom b2’s ampeg patch and quite loud. The active patch doesn’t sound as good - lady who runs the OM pulled a face at active mode, confirming what I myself thought

Whatever bass or amp I use I sound like “me”, with me being scooped mids and boosted highs. I set up like this as in general I play rock/punk in bands with humbucking guitars so lower the mids to not congest that area, and add highs to sharpen/tighten the sound and not be flubby on the lows.

I change gear so often that I don't think there's a particular sound apart from whatever it is I play close to the bridge, usually finger style, and there's probably some licks I'm tiring out each time I play.

Precision. Flats. Tone control only just on. Valve preamp, gain at 1 o'clock.  Slightly more bass than middle and slightly more mid than treble. Pair of 15s.

 

To my ears, a nice big, fat sound with a good deal of heft but good definition.

Bridge pick-up on my Sterling 34HH through a Nux Sculpture compressor, Ampeg SCRDI, Sine HPF (40hz) and into the FX return of a Peavey Minimax 600 and thence into a pair of TE 1x10". I've been using the same combination for several dep gigs now as I'm very happy with the sound - punchy with a little bite and enough room to colour the tone with variations in right hand finger (and pick) techniques. I use the same signal path but DI directly from the SCRDI for my main band although I sometimes need a wider range of sounds and will vary the pick up combination and occasionally the Sterling's tone controls. Both set ups have received compliments for the sound from band members and audience members.

Fretless jazz with flatwounds. 100% neck pickup, 0% bridge. Tone knob set right round to the most mellow. GEB7 pedal with the lowest band set very low and the rest in the middle position. A clean amp with the EQ set level across the bands.
