Demeter pre amp owners...

[Fawkes007]

So, you have a demeter pre amp in your Roscoe...what amplifier or pre/power amp combo are you using?

[Gard]

I was using a Demeter HBP-1 & Eden WT-1000 through an Eden D-410XST cabinet, but I haven't had a gig "worthy" of such a rig in a few years, so I let it go recently.

Now I have an Eden WT-550 head and D-210MBX cabinet, I'm planning on supplimenting it with a D-210XST soon.

However, most of my playing time these days is through a Phil Jones Bass Briefcase.

The Demeter sounds great through it all...

I love the WT550! I've been testing the WT vs TF420 back and forth and I prefere the WT. I'm using it with a Epifani UL210!
How do you place the MBX Gard? Right behind you, facing your ears, or in front as a monitor (I guess you'll need a PA to be heard, then)...

My call!
Usually Markbass 210 combo in the school, I love the sound of 210s more than 1X15 or 1X12.
Just purchased an used Epifani UL210 from a guy in California, and hope I can get a LM II or LMK to go with the cab.
One of my classmates got a Eden WT800/Epifani UL210 rig, sounds killer too.
The amp that I won't use with my Demeter-Roscoe is Ampeg stuff. The rig I tried (SVT-III/4X10) sounds too brittle to me, I had to turn all the treble and highs of graphic EQ down to have an acceptable sound.
I brought the Roscoe to test the Bass POD Pro the other day, and the only patches I like were Acoustic 360 and Eden.
Hope that helps.

Eden Metro here. On big gigs I also bring my Eden 115-XLT underneath.

Roscoe+ Demeter Pre+ Eden= Tone to die for

Fawkes,
This is a very cool topic. What does a Demeter-equipped Roscoe sound good through?

I have 2 amps. My combo (Gallien Krueger 700RB Neo112 combo), and my larger rig (GK1001 RB II head and an Accugroove Tri 112). They both sound great. Very modern, articulate and responsive. Great for slap!!

[JPJ]

I routinely run Demeter-equipped Roscoes through a SWR Redhead and Epifani & Accugroove cabs powered with a Stewart 2.1/SWR IOD preamp. Every once in a while I will have someone gripe about SWR, but they don't seem to have a problem once the Roscoe gets plugged in!

[Figjam]

I just want to say, even though I dont have a Roscoe, that the demeter hbp-1 preamp is very nice.

[Shawnost]

I run mine through a Genz Benz GBE1200 and two SWR Goliath III cabs. The sound is very modern, articulate and responsive. The Demeter is sweet.

Shawn,
You could probably shatter a few window panes with the setup you have! That is a hazardous, hi-decibel environment!

(But I bet it's a blast to be in fron of!)

Mo',
Make sure you try them both live before you decide. I prefered the WT550 over the TFB-550 until I played live a few times. I really love the glassy highs of the Eden amps (particuarly solo) but the TFunk just kills live!

I still dig the Eden though, so much that I just bought an Eden WT400 as my backup head.


Back on topic.....

I use 2 Berg HT-112's with the TFunk TFB-550B or Eden WT400.

[maurilio]

Hey there!
man... I gig 2-4 times a week + some studio!
I like both, but even my band mates told me they prefer the WT550. I don't know what it is exactly, but the Eden cut through better and it's warmer then the TF. IMO IME.
I actually prefer the TF solo then the EDEN... go figure
It's what I keep telling to the students here in school: there's no right or wrong, if it sounds good, it's good!

I hear ya' Bro'!
Different strokes for different folks!

It may be the difference in the voicing of the Epi 210 verses the Bergs that I use.
Either way, both heads rock!

Hey!



What the heck, y'all come into our forum and start talking about AMPS!?!?!?!?



...of course, we all know why Joe's rig sounds so good, don't we???

[Basso Gruvitas]

Okay - how about I start THIS thread....

"WHAT COLOR SOCKS DO YOU WEAR WHEN YOU PLAY YOUR ROSCOE?"

"For me, it's just a crazy impulsive thing! When I'm playing my fretless, I wear warm muted colors, like brown, cocoa, and meloncholy beige. When I'm playing my new ash/maple rocker, heck I just want to cut loose with my fire engine red socks with the black-and-white smiley faces."



Should be stimulating conversation.

[Dave]

What if we go sockless?

[Gard]

I live in North Carolina...


...what are these "socks" you speak of???

OK, this thread has officially entered the twilight zone.
