If you’re going to use the nobles, set the spectrum knob straight up the middle for no EQ. To the left it has reductive EQ at 2k and 300hz, to the right, boosts both those frequencies. Up the middle it’s neutral! There are lots of low gain drives and boosts that you could use in this way for...

Drives are all about harmonics - I’ve been using the Nobles ODR as an almost invisible saturation. You could use something even more transparent (eq wise) for sure. Things like La2A style comps would add the same harmonic content. Anything with a transformer could add what you’re looking for...

I’ve just started using the Gruv Gear Kapsule. First flight today and it’s come through unscathed and protected the bass perfectly. I was previously using an SKB Bass Safe and after 1 flight it looked like it had done about 10. That plastic takes a real beating. This Gruv Gear really is the...

I often wonder about doing this too... I think it could be killer - I never like mid controls on a pre and I’m a Sadowsky man at heart, but I do like the elite neck profile!

I pair my SM and One10 quite a lot, as most gigs I do my BT2 is just gonna frighten people off. Sat in my lounge (I literally just tested this as a result of this thread) at fairly low volume, directly in front of the cabs these were the results: SM: As expected, pretty balanced across the...

Mark at Bass Direct has a few of Yamaha's bb1024 series available for £650. Great basses with great versatility!

An Orange Thunderverb 200 with their PPC412HP-8 cab sounds like a complete solution to me. Thunderverb is great for bass and that cab was designed to be used for both guitar and bass - 400W handling from 4x100w celestions or 200w stereo if you want to run 2 different amps through the cab...

Had the exact same idea a couple of months back, haven't got around to doing it yet though!
