    SM57 w/TAB-FUNKENWERK

    I have done a lot of research about this mod. Honestly, the expanded mid and high range describes the characteristics of a sennheiser e835 (which I prefer over a 57 for guitar) It has all the tonal qualities of the 57 with much more cut. I'll use a pair of 57's on a rhythm guitar, and a...

    What do you use for a recording rig?

    The best bass tone I've achieved through the studio was through an old Korg AX30B bass processor ran A/B through an SVT3 pro head and a Sansamp RBI. I played a Fender Jazz with the S1 switching system engaged. My cab was the old svt 410115 all in one cab.. i believe the 10 and 15 were mic'd...

    I am buying new J pickups, need your help!

    I had a bass with the S-1 system that was recently stolen. I too went through pickup hell trying to find what I wanted. My first stop was EMG's. Not bad, but I'm not a big EMG fan for bass. I find them to sound synthetic. For my opinion, I used a jazz bass for a more 'natural' sound...

    Question about True Bypass and signal degradation

    I got a good deal on a korg ax unit... went to try it out through my eden vt260 and warwick fortress active.. that pedal broke my tone. I immediately disconnected it. I'm going to have to look into an a/b for the sake of keeping my dry tone, which I am in love with, and adding some effects to...

    Warwicks: really old vs. kinda old

    I own a 94 fortress as well as an 01 'i believe' infinity. To be honest, the construction on both basses are very different and it's hard to say which is 'better'. the fortress has highs to the point where i really need to back them down in the mix. the infinity is more rounded, full...

    External Sound Card

    For live application and minimal latency, I'd use ASIO drivers and a firewire connection. It's never done me wrong. I used a M Audio Firewire 410 and it's great for doing everything that I need it to. Midi for drums and any electronic elements, 2 mics for each guitar, and 2 for bass. Only...

    Impedence question (Very specific situation)

    I think i misunderstand your question. If you power an 8 ohm cab in you will throw the impedance off. Use ohms law (physics book stuff). Using series or parallel wiring, and if you do not exceed the rated impedance of your head, i'd say try it.

    Impedence question (Very specific situation)

    If an amp is rated for a 4ohm load, that is the lowed impedance it can operate at without causing failure. You will have no issues going to an 8ohm load. You will need more volume / gain, however you shouldn't have any issue. However, never go to a lower impedance than what your amp is...

    need bass buying advice

    I have been on quite a Warwick kick lately. Here's my .02. The standard passive run of warwick's aren't all that like the higher end models. I had a mid 90's streamer std (pre rockbass) and it just left a lot to be desired. I went and bought a USA Fender Jazz, swapped the pups, and that was...

    do ampeg 610hlf and 810 have the same speakers?

    by plugging the ports you are effectively ruining the tuning of the cab that you paid the extra price to have in the first place. sounds like you should check into some sealed enclosures with the appropriate speakers. my 610 had the same junky speakers throughout the cab, only the bottom...

    You have $1200 to spend on any Ampeg head, new or used

    If you're set on ampeg, i've always liked the SVT3 SVT4 and B4R heads. I've recently found EDEN and sold all of my ampeg gear within a month. Kinda pricey, but you can find it used for a reasonable price. Ditto for pre-fender SWR.

    Amp advice needed

    Your tone could be achieved through a nice semi parametric eq. I know quite a few heads have those built in such as the svt 6 pro. I am fairly certain that Trujillo uses ampeg. For that pricepoint you should easily be able to pick up a nice SVT 3 pro or B4R head (i've owned both). I used to...

    Aggressive ROCK tone???

    it's really a matter of personal preferance. everybody will tell you something different. I do everything from metal to classic rock to slap... yadda yadda. i've found great tones that are totally versitile with my warwicks. Can't go wrong. Also, LTD basses with the REAL EMG's (not hz)...

    Fitzmaurice Subs for low F#

    I would HIGHLY recommend bi-amping your rig with the use of a crossover just so you don't send that low low signal to your other speakers and murder your tone. i would send everything from 63+ or 80+ to your 10's (or whatever you may have) and anything below to an appropriate power amp, then to...

    I'll bite....whats up w Traben????

    it could be just me, but I never seen what the hype was about. Yeah, they have a huge bridge plate that looks pretty cool. I'll take the $199 "phat bass" ibanez over any traben anyday. It could be my ear, but these just sound flat, not bright, and just very generic. There are much better...

    Bass recording - what's your chain??

    Warwick - Signal Splitter - A to DI (dry) - B to eden head - line out to board. I like the ampeg IK multimedia software specifically for some decent cab emulation if I need some more depth. You can always add effects later, you cannot take them away. I've also had good results with an...

    Are 2 Ampeg SVT 410HE and SVT810 alike ?

    If you are looking for depth, versatility, and 10's in a rig.. i suggest checking out a svt 610hlf. it has a standard 4x10 on top and a ported 2x10 on the floor (which can produce some mean lows) however, if that's too much for you, I'd recommend two 4x10's. an 8x10 beer fridge is way too...

    RIGS OF DOOM - Ch. 3

    That is correct! I have the same cab. Just picked it up actually. Running that with a VT 260 head. I'm still dialing in my warwick tone, but I couldn't be more pleased. I am pretty sure I need to invest in a better compressor than what is onboard.

    810 Cab Restoration(graphic intense)

    POR-15 (automotive rustproofing) also makes a CLEAR protectant. Whichever finish you choose can be coated with the POR-15 to give it invincibility to the road. I haven't used it myself (except on the truck) but my friend coated his dj cab's with it 3 years ago and swears by it. Hope that...

    Rechargeable 9Vs?!

    I noticed that when I used rechargables in my bass, my signal output wasn't quite the same as a normal 9v. Also, they didn't last as long. However, I will agree. I used them with my X2 wireless and that's good and ready for every single jam.

    Changing Speakers In A SVT 4x10 Cab - Recommendations?

    See, I'm not positive that these are eminence speakers that I pulled from the cab. They aren't labeled eminence (or have any markings for that matter) and the feel awfully cheap and brittle. I will look into this page.

    Who has changed out 10's? What did you use, and what was your results? My 4x10 Classic Cab finally let go and I get to order Speakers. I was debating the Celestion green back 10's. What did you use and how did you like it?
