    What's the best amp for EBMM basses?

    EBMM through an SVT. Works for AC/DC. Ideal pairing for P Bass and J Bass would be the SVT too. That amp with those basses just creates that sound, in the same way any Gibson guitar into a Marshall stack does in that it just represents an entire era. Just creates the sound of the 70s when I...

    Live Bass - Use A Stage Amp With IEM?

    All I use is a B7K live. IEM system to come, but we just have very specific soundchecks and I have no problem hearing live. I love not lugging all that gear around.

    Guitar Center sold me used as new!

    Chances are their inventory got mixed up and someone bought a new head used. I work at GC, that poopie can happen if the crew doesn't manage their inventory right. If you haven't been helped by GC pm me and I'll see what I can dig up.

    Darkglass B7K in live situation without amp

    If you like the tone of the B7K then do it. I've been doing Sansamp/B7K live with no amp for the past year and haven't had any issues. Don't even have in ears yet. I have an MXR Compressor in front of mine, but thats all I have going. The B7K sounds awesome into a PA.

    Presonus StudioLive RM 16 AI

    Yeah I looked at the X32, I did not know about the USB recording, thats pretty cool. I have a pretty good hook up with Presonus so for the price I couldn't turn it down...way better deal than the X32 And I love the Fat Channel for mixing so far. Freaking RAD!

    Presonus StudioLive RM 16 AI

    Sold my Mesa M9 Carbine to help fund the brain of an IEM rig for all future live shows. Said brain is the Presonus StudioLive RM 16 AI, with the money from my head I purchased an iPad and the StudioLive, and it just came in today. Replacing our old Yamaha mixer with that thing holy crap...I...

    New Fender Steve Harris Sig. for 2015?

    Made in Mexico vs the blue one being Maiden Japan. Hope its still beastly heavy. Looks like the neck is slightly smaller. I still think I prefer the blue one.

    New Fender Steve Harris Sig. for 2015?

    That looks legit. No badass bridge, but the Fender High mass that is virtually identical, his new signature pickups...I'd imagine this is showing up at NAMM. WANT.

    Steve Harris P bass, is it accurate?

    You can find the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop hand wound pickups on ebay that are the same thing he uses, they go for about 160. For the production model of his basses they put the SPB-1s in there because those were the closest to what he uses. Now that he has his signature pickups they may...

    To compress or not

    Currently an MXR M87, going to be getting the Empress soon though. Just tried it and it is a badass compressor.

    compression and flatwounds

    I use flats and always have my compressor on. I run DI out of a Darkglass B7K, and I have an MXR M87 right in front of the B7K. I just set it and forget it. I like having the compressor because I play in a metal band, so the guitars and keyboards are very thick, so the compressor keeps the...
