Fill Up My Rack

Sign in to disble this ad
I have 4 spaces left.
Looking for a compressor, maybe a wireless...anything else?

Lets say $600, 4 rack spaces, what do you buy?

What amp do you use?

I have a sansamp RBI that sounds amazing for sale. They are great units to have.

GK 800RB.
My bands style is sort of indie/punk. Distorted guitars, loud drums but melodic riffs. What does that Sansamp do?

I use a parametric eq

I use a Rane PE parametric to help out my Demeter VTBP, and my Alembic Rackmount preamps. I paid about 130.00 apiece. Food for thought!

Take the $600 and put it in a good mutual fund.
It's a lot better use of the money than a bunch of stuff you might not need!

A Sansamp is a bass preamp. The RBI or RPM models are both awesome for an in-your-face grindy tone that would be great for punk.

The $600 was just so I can get some ideas of the top of the line and work from there.

I like the tone of my GK just fine for the everyday stuff. I was thinking about a Muff or some sort of dirt pedal. Can the RPI do full on dirt?

I'd really like sugestions on actual items. Like instead of just saying "Tuner" recommend a good one. ect

Thanks

They can get really dirty, but I've noticed it doesn't sound the best with an active bass. It get's harsh. If you have a passive bass it sounds amazing.
