    What Was the Best Stingray You've Ever Played?

    Bought a 76 as a 20th birthday present to Myself in early 77. Played well over 1000 gigs on that bass over 5 years or so with Rotosounds that I changed every Thursday so the grind would be slamming through the weekend. Amazing instrument. I had a Music Man head also (130?) that I used with a...

    Interesting how all these pedals are ‘almost perfect’ for each player for different reasons. I love the resonance HPF with my Pbass but would guess that’s not something needed or wanted with DB The above posts made me think of the new Broughton Messenger preamp. DB friendly with the variable...

    Never-ending Journey…Replacing my SVT + 810 and Streamliner 900 + 410 Uber — help me find the best lightweight rig for reggae and ska

    Back to playing a bit and teaching. Having fun. Hope you are well. God help me, but I’ve discovered boutique pedals 😂

    Never-ending Journey…Replacing my SVT + 810 and Streamliner 900 + 410 Uber — help me find the best lightweight rig for reggae and ska

    The new Mesa stuff is awesome. (Hi Andy!) Another thing to think about is a Bergantino Forte 800 and two of the new Reference 115 cabs. I always preferred Jim’s neo speakers, but my sound was mid present and tight punchy bass and lots of upper mid definition. The opposite of what you are...

    JAD FREER SARTO

    Hello guys, Sorry to hear about the confusion on import duties or whatever. Mine just arrived from what I think is the US Distributor called Fat Bass Tone. Easy transaction and no drama or extra charges. Shipped from somewhere in Utah. Fantastic preamp. Very clean and transparent (per the...

    Broughton Audio Super Thread

    Been there! It’s unique pre. I had the Sushi Box version. Super clean but also super tubey. EQ was really interactive. Definitely not for everyone. Hope the Sonoran rocks your ears

    That should be awesome. Nice control of that big low end and with super high input impedance and limited coloration. The just released Broughton Messenger update also seems very piezo/DB friendly

    Have one on the way from his US (I think) retailer. I like the idea of the high pass filter with mild resonance boost built in. Nice! Also like the Auto Q on the mid control. Nice sort of quasi full parametric that widens as you go up. Very useful shelving starting points on bass and treble...

    Broughton Audio Super Thread

    Hey Guys! I've been enjoying this thread. Here's the latest iteration of my mostly Broughton board. Still loving the Fliptop with my P bass. I am really loving the low pass filter I bought recently. It is 'always on' with my P with nickel wounds. Have it set to cut everything above about...

    Ikebe Bass Comparisons (Ken Smith, Spector, MTD & Fodera)

    Ive owned and gigged a number of the basses you are interested in; Fodera, MTD, Ken Smith, FBass Fodera: per a comment above, the difference between a Monarch and Emperor is body shape. The Monarch is a PBss body, Emperor is a J Bass offset body. These basses are for the most part quite...

    Fodera NYC Empire

    Hey Doc! This version of Fodera was a strange bird. Basically a J Bass clone. There was one at Gravity Strings all those years ago and amazingly it's down there again now (or at least recently) for resale. Nice bass. Doesn't really sound like a 'Fodera' as we've come to know it and doesn't...

    Iron Ether Appreciation Society

    Just got one of these. Super high quality. Lots of control. I wanted it to add just a touch of 'room expansion' to my small, very dry sounding practice space. I bit pricey to just add a touch of reverb, but the high pass filtering in the side chain is just great. Doesn't impact anything down low...
