    URSA has awakened...

    After all these years, I have found my way back to this forum ;) And I have brought you a gift from my long and weary travels! Enjoy my band's first single: . The bass used here is a Dingwall Combustion 5 (moved the pickups to match the NG2 configuration). We split the signal into three...

    Dingwall combustion ADADG tuning

    Dear community, Since our guitarist will switch between drop D and standard A tuning, I am planning on tuning to ADADG on my Dingwall combustion bass. However, I currently don't like the tension of the lower A and D strings (stock Dingwall strings, which are 45/58/75/98/127 I think). The top...

    Any info regarding Darkglass cab release?

    Hey guys, Lets keep it short :) . My old cab recently broke down, so I will soon need a new one to supplement my Microtubes 900. Needless to say, the Darkglass cab would probably be a perfect match. Is there any information yet regarding the cab's release date? I think I might have read about...

    Switching between clean and crossover distortion live

    I was looking into that one as well. However, I don't think they ship to Europe :(

    Switching between clean and crossover distortion live

    Thank you guys! Maybe it is more efficient to just find a good pedal with a blend option / multiband distortion then.

    Switching between clean and crossover distortion live

    Hey guys, I am really trying to nail my live sound. I am switching between a clean, punchy tone and a distorted variant. One band that really blew me away with their live sound was dub trio (bass distortion): So lately I was browsing the web and stumbled upon this article: Unlocking The...

    B7K ultra drive strength (passive bass)

    Yes I thought of this ;) . I am using the 4 thickest strings of a 5string set. It's not loose at all :)

    B7K ultra drive strength (passive bass)

    Thank you Doug! I boosted the hi mids, treble and bass a bit with the EQ and brought the lo mids a bit back. I've been able to get some nice gritty tones ;) . I was planning on buying a compressor anyways, so maybe I'll try using one in front of the pedal as signal boost without compromising...

    B7K ultra drive strength (passive bass)

    Thank you for your fast replies! I'll play around with the settings a bit more ;). One more question: when I give it a little shake I can hear something moving. Is that normal (maybe some cables?). When it arrived it was delivered in a plain box, so maybe it hit a bumpy road in the wrong way...

    B7K ultra drive strength (passive bass)

    Hello community, I received my B7K ultra recently and started to play around with it a little. I bought it because I wanted to improve the sound of my bass, especially on gigs were the sound guy doesn't mic my cab and just takes straight DI. I found that the EQ section was working fine, but I...

    In what order should I upgrade my rig?

    First off, thanks for all the replies! And to answer this question: they make me plug my bass directly into a DI box. They only get my passive bass signal. They don't often want to mic the cab here.

    In what order should I upgrade my rig?

    Dear community, This probably has been discussed a lot, but I have a hard time getting a clear view of things. I am looking to upgrade my current rig and would like to improve my live sound. Ofcourse, technique plays an important role, but I would like to focus on the equipment itself. My...
