    SOLD Port City Orleans Bass Preamp

    This listing is for a Port City Orleans Preamp in excellent condition. These were only made for a short time. They were all hand-made in North Carolina using top notch components (pictured below). This is a great pre. Very warm and responsive. I have since gone the Axe Fx route and do not need...

    SWR Goliath III product dating help?

    The grille is chrome. Below I have attached a few pictures so that maybe it will be a little bit easier to identify.

    SWR Goliath III product dating help?

    My newest fix for my cab sickness came about today with my purchase of a somewhat gruff looking SWR Goliath III for $200. I appeal to the great Talkbass collective to get some thoughts. First of all, did I get a good deal? Mind you all of the cones and the tweeter work well and sound great. I...

    Micro Amp as power amp advice.

    I am currently running the rig with a Cusack More Louder boost in between the pre and power amp. Works well enough, but (and maybe I am too picky) but I would like to be able to use just the pre and power without having to add more components and cabling (because most of the venues I play where...

    Micro Amp as power amp advice.

    I wish my local store had the GK micro heads to try out :/ For sake of trying all my options, I did just hook up my Orleans to the Markbass tube 800 and it DOES IN FACT run a parallel effects loop, meaning that the pre is runnning through all the circuitry and EQ on the front of the amp which...

    Micro Amp as power amp advice.

    I am currently running a Port City Orleans preamp with a Crown Xti2002 power amp as my main amp rig. The Orleans seems to have a relatively low output and doesn't drive the Crown to full wattage. (Different power and input sensitivity withstanding,) I was looking to possibly lighten my load by...

    I have plateau'ed and need help

    I play in two metal bands at the moment, one is straight "Death Metal" and really keeps my speed chops up. Most of the songs clock in around 200-220 BPM. The other band I am in is more of a "Traditional/Progressive" metal style (very little screaming, odd time signatures, a lot of melodic...

    Recone or toss? (EV15L)

    Geri O Do you have any experience with possible pricing and turn around time if I were to say have the driver reconed through EV? Downunderwonder Can you possibly explain the differences between the 3015 and the 3015LF sonically to me? I know the LF is generally meant for low frequency...

    Recone or toss? (EV15L)

    So it finally happened... My Mesa Diesel (Road Ready) has blown. I pulled the driver today and it is in fact the Original EV 15L. I m currently in the middle of purchasing and Eminence 3015LF to replace said driver. I want to know though, would it be wise, or even possible, to recone the driver...

    I have plateau'ed and need help

    Hello, Let me first start by saying that I have been playing for many years and have tried my best to cover a wide variety of styles and techniques in that time. I have been taking private lessons for 10+ years and was even accepted into the Berklee College of Music (too poor to go). Some...

    Tips for good natural harmonics?

    Adding mids and some highs to your tone will allow the natural overtones of the fundamental string to ring out more easily, therefore giving you a much cleaner sound when you strike the harmonic.
