    Bass preamp

    Do you think the Valve Drive or the Barber Linden adds more warm tubey goodness? Im more interested in Valve Drive as a preamp than an overdrive but the drive would be a nice extra.

    I used to have a Sansamp Bassdriver and I was not to fond of it. It didnt have enough mids to it and I thought it always had too much treble or too much bass. But a lot of people seem to love it so to each his own I guess....

    Hey guys im currently looking for some sort of tube preamp pedal to warm up my Ampeg B2r. I'm looking for a nice round tubey sound without spending a ton of money on a new head at the moment. I've been looking at the EBS Valve Drive, has anyone ever tried this? Any other suggestions would be...

    Precision Pickups

    Thats why I went with the Rio Grandes. They have those strong P bass mids that I love but they have a much fuller sound compared to the stock 50s pups in my opinion.
