    Origin Effects BASSRIG

    I’m way late to the game on these pedals but took delivery of a SV today. Can’t believe the heft on this thing! Seriously built like a tank. Only had about 20 minutes with it but hooked it up to my Neve Shelford channel then into Studio One. Instant killer recorded bass tone. This will make...

    Ok full disclosure, had to google this Ed Zachary fellow :laugh: I’m admittedly a little rusty on my dad jokes! ;)

    NBD! American Professional II P

    Yours look great! Yeah I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another based on my experience. If I got a dud I’d just exchange it.

    NBD! American Professional II P

    It is my basement queen! I love big amps. On the six string side I have three 4x12 cabs (among other configurations). I play for enjoyment and recording. I do most of my practicing at night but can play at fairly reasonable volumes without disturbing anyone. In that lower volume setting I’ve...

    NBD! American Professional II P

    Hoping I got lucky with this one then because I really like it! And I got an ok price on it at $1689 after they knocked $200 off.

    NBD! American Professional II P

    My SVT has been a bit of a saga. Bought it for a great price but quickly found out why…it was noisy. Took it to a guy that was recommended to me and he did absolutely nothing to make it quieter. Took it to another guy and despite a valiant effort and replacing most of the electrolitics, it was...

    NBD! American Professional II P

    Did some more reading on these and wasn’t aware of all of the QC issues. Will have a much closer look tomorrow That itch is always there too and will never be fully scratched! :D

    NBD! American Professional II P

    I love it. For me, sports cars and guitars deserve loud colors! It will fit right in with my seafoam green strat!

    NBD! American Professional II P

    I spent about two hours playing last night, couldn’t put it down! After I posted this I read up a bit on this series and was really surprised and disappointed to see all of the QC issues. I’m super picky about everything and mine played and felt great last night but I’ll definitely go over it...

    NBD! American Professional II P

    I’m a guitar player but also love bass. I grabbed my J a few years ago and love its versatility but recently felt the itch for a P. Had my 78 SVT serviced and got it back yesterday just in time for the P’s arrival! Paired up with my Heritage 8x10 and it is an absolutely thunderous, glorious...

    On a vintage SVT mission

    I may not have explained what he shared clearly. He did say that he felt the resistors that went bad were creating the hiss in the preamp section. He’s out of town currently but should know more quickly upon his return. He referenced “possibly” needing to recap due to the hum, not hiss, but the...

    On a vintage SVT mission

    Anything else I should consider having him do while he has it? May as well take care of it now.
