With that head, I find setting the gain around noon will just have the clip light flashing only on the hardest notes. Depends on your basses output though. And how you have your eq set. For the green limiter light, you can defeat the limiter by pulling out the master volume knob.

Mic'd and di signals are always out of phase because of the time it takes for the sound to reach the mic

^^ Notice I said well mixed. Sure, you can have drummers that will compete with either volume-wise, but all you'll hear is stick/beater attack. Of course, if that's what you what, by all means. But, I personally like the resonance of the drums. There's no way you'll get any nuance frum the...

Do you want a dirtier sound? If so, the Orange is the way to go. If you liked the Terror Bass, it's just a better of that IMO. If you need a wider range of sounds, the SVT because it's cleaner overall. Either one will give you enough volume to stay well mixed with the hardest hit acoustic...

Attempting to be helpful: Some of the best live doom metal bass sounds I've heard come from a blend of clean and fuzzed out sounds. Clean for low end weight, fuzz for the doom. So, two head/two cab setup with a Morley ABY pedal feeding them. One hitting something like a Muff on the way in...

^^ I am!

sounds like an SVT AV, but that has a second input and standby. everything else seems like a match.

try an audix i5. great all around mic. better low end than a 57 and not nearly as nasally.

there's a bluebond bass for sale on philly craigslist right now. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

what style of music? imo, you can't go wrong with a fender twin reverb for all but the heaviest styles. the clean sound is awesome. plus the reverb is really nice. then you can use pedals for distortion, delay, etc. The clean sound provides a really solid foundation for effects. personally, i'd...

I think a lot of that harshness happens around 1k-2k - maybe lower or higher depending on your bass, stings, amp, etc. Try boosting your EQ in that range alot and sweeping the freq until the harshness really stands out. Then cut as much as needed.

i play a fender jaguar bass (only use passive setting), so it's pretty similar to jazz bass setup. I had the same problem and was able to fix it by doing the following. 1. My amp has semi-parametric mids, so I set the low-mid to a pretty high boost and sweep the frequency until I hear the...

hey JGR, thanks for all the info. how does the R500 sound with the NV610 vs. the NV215? I'm so torn between those two cabs... Also, can you get a decent clean sound out of the amp? I generally prefer some dirt, but need to clean once and a while. justin

That's awesome! By the way, the mag is great. I actually just saw it on the newstand at Sam Ash. Congrats!

hey hawaii islander - any thoughts on that slat Fender 4x10? They were discontinued, but Musician's Friend still has them in stock. From what I can tell, they have the same speakers as the new 610PRO and 810PRO (same part number on Fender's web site). Sorry to revive an old thread. cheers...
