For sure man! i saw some dick bag put his beer on top of my old svt last show and i just walked over picked his beer up and threw it in the trash. the dude couldve beat the sh!t out of me, but whatever.lol. im a small dude but i didnt care thats my baby.
pretty cool article showing you how to EQ using a p bass into an old svt.
I set mine up differently. TREBLE:1 o'clock MID(800):1 o'clock BASS:1 o'clock and engage lo and hi boost. good for aggressive pick players. i can tell where sansamps modeled they're tone from.

so i put dimarzio model p pickups in my p bass. ive had them in there for a couple months and im not really digging them. the mids are TOO much, basically overpowering the highs and lows. so i go up to radio shack and get a .1uf cap to replace my .047uf stock cap. holy sh!t this is the TONE! it...
update: it was the 4 supply capacitors in the power amp. they were dried up. tech told me it was sending too hot of a signal to the tubes making it sound thin. the beast is back and better than before!
yeah very true about different types of distortions. i play a p bass thru a vintage svt and ampeg 8x10 with the bassdrive.sounds gnarly putting it in comp-cut and diming the tone and overdrive...oh yeah and hitting that boost! holy tube distortion!
oh my god! i knew something was funky! thank you soo much tim! i will send this to my tech and tell him what you said. man, this place is soo helpful!!!
no, channel 2 normal sounds better for some reason.lol. the clarity of the mids is weird on channel 1 normal. its almost like the mids are over powering the bass and treble.
