Thorpe posted:Yeah, they are fender rumble 100s. Great little amps. Plenty loud for small to medium sized rooms and just over 20lbs weight wise. I've got the same one, actually, and I quite like it. But mine is a lone wolf.

I ordered a used Durham Electronics Sex Drive. It's a compressor and clean boost/transparent overdrive with a very strong reputation. A subtle, "always on" kind of pedal. Going to use it on bass to add some punch and a just a hint of breakup. Also the name is great.

The Science Goy posted:Does it have any issues with tone suck when compressing? I have a compulsive "clean blend" requirement for all of my bass gear to make sure the low end does not get compromised. I perceive it as tightening up the low end which I suppose means it’s rolling off some deep muddy frequencies, but it’s subtle. I default to a pretty bright bass tone to begin with so it’s definitely not enough to bother me, I just might not cut the same frequencies on the amp to the same degree. A lot of bass players swear by it, including the ovnilab guy, who has exhaustive experience with bass compression and considers it among his favorites. http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/durham.shtml

Hrrrngh I thought I was done acquiring gear then someone put this on Craigslist for $400 and I am awfully tempted   I think it’s just the p bass special/deluxe passive PJ with the jazz neck, but some kind of FSR with dot inlays and the matte/satin black finish? I haven’t been able to find another example quite like it online. The headstock pic makes it look like it could maybe even be an ebony fretboard but I think it’s rosewood.

That bass would be a great piece of decor when not in use, I love it.

ASenileAnimal posted:i gotta remember to take advantage of this next time i want a new guitar. also remember the "relic" lines they had years ago where it was like 1k+ for a "preworn" instrument? like i imagined fender cranking out an american strat and then throwing it around the factory to ding it up a bunch and then selling it at a huge markup lol Oh they still do that, including on stuff they’re charging 4k+ for

 Cheap and cheerful. I wanted a reasonable approximation of that Neil Young & Crazy Horse “little tweed amp cranked until it’s about to explode” sound, and this scratches the itch just fine. I’m running it as a preamp into the FX return of a Fender Rumble bass amp because I’m too lazy to drag out my guitar amp, and it sounds just grand. Love this sound so much. https://youtu.be/2bi64Y55LEU?si=h6TAuWgcsUPuDjdI Thermos H Christ fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Apr 15, 2024 |
