Track we did a while back - Ampeg V2 for bass

Sign in to disble this ad
Cover of She Shook me Cold by David Bowie.

BASS: Danelectro Longhorn reissue (amazing). Zvex SHO to boost a bit and split the signal between the high-Z DI on a UA preamp and an early 70's Ampeg V2 with a cheap Yamaha 4x10. V2 was turned up to about 6 or 7 and going crazy but the cab maxed out its SPL pretty quickly. We ran a decent amount of the DI bass to the monitors in order to hear it in the room above the drums and guitar. Cab was mic'd with....something. I think some type of Sennheiser.

GUITAR: Gibson R8, BYOC tonebender, Teese pic wah, early 70's 50w Marshall into 4x12 with G12H-30's and greenbacks. Mic'd with Royer ribbon mic.

DRUMS: Crazy old mismatched 40's and 50's shells recovered, cut down and bearing edges redone, matching vintage hardware....two floor toms, HUGE 26" bass drum that's only about 14" deep. We set a second huge old skinny marching bass drum in front of it as a resonator. Can't recall the mics other than one of those Rode XY pattern stereo small condensers as an overhead.

Lexicon rack reverb, mostly on the drums. Empirical Labs Fatso Jr. for compression on bass and drums, not so much on guitar. Protools for everything else I think.

Very cool! I really like those Longhorn basses. My guitar player has tried to talk me into getting a V2, he has one and loves it. Did I read you're running that through some 50 watt Jensen Mods now? My brother has a couple of 50 watt Jensen Mods sitting around that he wants to get rid of and I've been thinking of building a small cab with them.

Also, what Mk Tonebender is that a clone of? I've got a Mk II, but I'd like to try a Mk I.

Yep, I have that amp sitting on my 8x10 with the MOD 50's. Excellent combo, sounds good on bass and crushes on guitar. I'm pretty sure the BYOC is a MKII tonebender, with a bias control. Three OC-75's.

Really nice!
A guy offered me a V2 without the cab.
Pretty cheap.
Is it that good for bass?
