If using the vt bass as a d.i. what you're saying makes sense In my option I just considered the vt bass much like an eq, more of a pedal, and the od/fuzz placed at the end if sparingly used only, making the tone out of anything else but the way huge So clean signal made out of comp and preamp...

Hi Bassray, how're ya doin' man? I think I can just go with what I'd do Boss Tu - Ampeg Opto comp - Tech 21 vt bass - Way Huge P&P If tuner always comes first, receiving the unadultered dry signal - then comes the compressor to even everything following out - then the overall preamp, scuplting...

Completely Former Trace Elliot fan over here too, that's why I keep a Hartke combo in my chappel for praise & worship music, and this down here is still my fridge of choice Sliders stay fantastic, especially among those of us accustomed to good old analog studios from back in the day...

Couldn't agree more I know I'm partial to Italian stuff But it shure ain't my only gear, so I believe I can be taken seriously;) Cheers, Claudio

tho' this is really fantastic, for punch and definition at the very same time I must admit I much favor this one Consider that they weight almost the same (if Hartke stack is not even heavier) Fact is it's tougher and meaner, and I don't mind if it scratches, while the Made in Italy Mark's is...

Completely I live… not "that far" from you;)(even if I was pictured in Austria here left hand side) I don't mind metric or anglosaxon measure We use all the same components (and wrenches) from the Alps to the Indian Ocean But then again, if you buy american basses, chances are bridges screws...

There's usually no need for such a switch, considering a 500w 4ohm output power, if connecting a single 4ohm cab or dual 8ohm cabs (or single 8ohm cab, probably achieving a 300w output) But if they place a variable like this on your amp, it should be to optimize your power amp performance You...

What you say is true if comparing two speakers (a 10" and a 12") of the very same make (and very same amp on'em) About lowend spectrum, it really depends multiple 10" can handle more lowend than a single (or dual) 12", but then again, if just one-on-one, yeah… a 12" bears a significant surface...

Well assuming you're aware of just looking for a practice amp, let's state that Orange crush and Ampeg Rocket bass stay at opposite sides of the spectrum, meaning that if Orange has a bit of a grittier tone, Ampeg Rocket is really hi-fi sounding, also with an onboard "smooth" kinda overdrive I...

This is my Made in Italy Momark eq head/Mark Classic serie cab (above) (with my Spector Rebop Dlx 5 and Euro Lt 5 before it) And my Hartke Lh1000 head/Hd410 cab (below) Cheers, Wallace

No no You're more than right over here Consider there were radius differences between my Made in Japan Geddy's and my own favourite bass modder's Crafted in Japan Geddy's (being much thicker than mine… well… wait a minute… get me... as "thicker" as a "pencil" like jazz bass neck can possibly...

Alright So le'ts try and articulate a lil bit more As many other said right up in this very same post, many (if not all) digital amps - when cranked up way over 3 o'clock in gain/volume - still tend to either not sit well in a band mix, or alter/distort (not saturate, which can be good) the...

Completely in context we're talking digital amps… so you can declare 1,000w and still have way less headroom than a solid state 350w amp I'm quite sure you could gig with just 150w back in the '70s... if you consider present Fender tube bassman (100w) or Orange ad head (200w) they're loud as...

Infact my point was what you're consistently asked about in a Studio It doesn't matter vintage or what They don't question craftsmanship, they don't question cosmetics, finishings, exotic woods If the egineer needs a straight, passive sound, he'd just go "alright: do you have a Fender"? Just as...

night? only? that's LIFE anyway OP was all about Fender/Sandberg comparison? I tributed my humble experience #1 most (an'I mean by far) of historically acclaimed recordings are made on Fender basses #2 to this day, there ain't a studio where the engineer - despite the overall manufacturing/...
