    Any Reason to use an EQ or Compressor along with my Eden WT1205?

    I’d chalk it up to people just liking what they like.. maybe not necessary but an artistic choice…

    SansAmp: Bass Fly Rig v1 or Programmable BDDI?

    I’d keep the fly rig. I think the built in tuner and compressor outweighs the benefits of the programmable bass driver.

    What a great way to add some analog charm to what would be a fully digital rig! I bet it sounds fantastic.

    Is anyone else completely in love with their tone?

    “My sound” is my Aria SB-1000 into an EBS multicomp and a SansAmp Bass Driver & Para Driver in parallel, using both XLR outs into two channels on the mixing desk. It is killer. Between the EQ controls on the SansAmps and the Aria’s internal preamp I can get almost any style of bass tone I want...

    I can’t imagine playing through a PA without a SansAmp Bass Driver DI

    Roundwounds that sound more like flats

    hot take: people who “dont like the feel of flats” just havent tried TI jazz flats.

    I just recently discovered Dumble-style pedals... I'm now obsessed.

    I think Dumble’s first amp was actually a bass amp he made for himself… Dumble did make a few bass amps and they are even more rare than the guitar ones. Not sure if anyone has made a clone though.

    Multiple basses one amp. Settings per bass or one setting for all?

    I prefer amps þat are as flat as poſſible, using þe controls on my baſſes as well as my pedals to ſhape þe tone.

    Tone Hammer DI appreciation thread

    Honestly the programmble bass driver should be paired with a BOSS tuner so can use its parallel out. The PBDDI is more something you center your entire rig around rather than just an oversized “level matching device”…. Maybe sell it and get a smaller model sansamp or another pedal that you...

    Bright Bass amp - please recommend!

    Any bass amp paired with an FRFR speaker to handle the top end. :P

    Sketchy looking website selling absurdly cheap Tech 21 pedals. ***?!

    They have a phone number on the website listed…. Maybe later I’ll try calling them to see what kind of bolshevik they might to pull🤭 if they are scammers then I may as well prank call them 🤣

    Sketchy looking website selling absurdly cheap Tech 21 pedals. ***?!

    I can’t even imagine how this isn’t a scam… The site is called Bestpdbuy Official Online Store Shop Now & Save … it doesnt appear to be a music gear store at all, but for some strange reason if you use the search function, you can find pedals. Very bizarre. Some brave soul here should buy...

    Tone Hammer DI appreciation thread

    You should do what I do and run two XLRs! Some people run a mic’d cab + a DI, but I just use two DIs…. Keep the bass driver and add the tone hammer as a parallel output. :D you could use the bass driver as bass & presence and the tone hammer with less bass but more mids/treble. I bet it would be...

    Show Me Your Yellow Bass!

    I guess my Aria can look yellow in some lighting conditions. It looks more brown in my room often because I have amber-colored lights but at an outdoor show it may be more like a dehydrated piss color.

    Good tone from FRFRs?

    A truly FRFR speaker should be able to harness zero point energy and reproduce the exact existential frequency range of any desired place and time, harnessing quantum nonlocality to open portals to far off interstellar lands. Any recommendations?

    Preamp/DI with XLR out and phantom power - any recommendations

    Yep the Bass Driver and Para Driver’s phantom power capability takes it from being great to legendary.

    Good tone from FRFRs?

    Of course it will depend on how your bass sounds “raw” and what playing style you use and genre. I’d be more likely to go totally clean like that on a fretless, actually.

    Good tone from FRFRs?

    Sure you can get a usable sound without preamps, strictly with just the FOH mixing desk… but to me it is not fun at all to play a gig with absolutely no distortion or compression at all… a little bit of distortion goes a long way even if it isnt noticable when the other instruments kick in...

    Your favorite flats for a jazz?

    Yeah occasionally I’ll use it because I think the letter is useful & should never have fallen into obscurity and also I enjoy seeing how people react to it (though I’ve also been banned from various online communities for using it and targeted by bullies so I don’t do it often anymore...

    I’m convinced þere is no better flatwound ſtring for jazz þan þe almighty TI Jazz Flats. Þey are ſimply þe beſt flatwounds ever made, if you aſk me. Only one problem: þey don’t handle drop tunings well at all.. Maybe TI makes a ſet þat would work in D ſtandard...

    Good tone from FRFRs?

    I always end up having to tweak things more to get “my sound” out of a conventional bass amp. FRFR speakers are great if you are running SansAmps.

    New Tech 21 XB Driver

    The XB Driver is designed to work through a PA system. You may have to dial it in differently when using FRFR speakers though because they don’t filter/cut frequencies in the tone as much. That’s why I like external EQs when using bass cabs alongside the FRFR speakers, so I can EQ the cab...

    How often do you use a pick?

    They are fun sometimes but I chronically lose my picks so I end up using fingerstyle instead.

    Good tone from FRFRs?

    Worth noting that there is no such thing as a TRULY FRFR speakers. No speaker can produce the “full range” of frequencies in an absolutely flat way… they just get as close as they can.. ;)

    Tech 21 Club

    The Street Driver’s minimal control layout reminds me of the original Sansamp Bass DI which had nothing but a few internal controls. Level, presence, drive, and blend. Not that limited but much simpler than a normal bass driver.

    Tech 21 Club

    I get the feeling that a street driver in parallel with another sansamp would be absolutely killer. A Street Driver connected to the parallel out of a Bass Driver sounds like it would be absolutely killer.

    Good tone from FRFRs?

    Sounds like you need a SansAmp. Tech 21 is king when it comes to FRFR bass rigs.

    Who use an active bass as inactive and why ?

    I like the BB Circuit preamp in my Aria SB-1000, it slightly attenuates the low end and cleans up some of the muddiness, so a high pass filter should never be needed. Great for dense mixes and genres like metal with lots of multitracked guitars etc. But the bass sounds great without it, and I...

    So… Any SansAmp Frank Bello Street Driver owners here yet?? Opinions? I consider T21 to be the king of bass preamps and the Street Driver looks amazing. The fewer knobs is appealing to me…

    Teaching Studio All-Purpose Combo Amp

    An active stage monitor with an external preamp. How about a Tech 21 PSA? Works for both instruments. Then the same rig would also be useful at gigs because another monitor is always nice to have anyway.

    Aria & Aria Pro II Club (Part Four)

    I believe Cliff used an SB-1000 on Master of Puppets studio recording. Listen to the isolated tracks, to me it sounds like BB circuit with the chickenhead switch on setting 3 with super fresh roundwounds. On the Day on the Green 1985 footage, he used presumably the same SB-1000. But on...

    sansamp connection to Peavey minimega head

    The FX loop sometimes sounds better, but the front of the amp may offer some useful EQ to help compensate for loss of frequencies from using a bass cab instead of an FRFR rig, so you can EQ your cab sound seperately from your FOH sound…. Depends on how much the amp in question colors your tone.

    Does this seem like a fake ric?

    Wow… I’d be seriously skeptical unless you see it in person. I mean, it COULD be real… Nothing is impossible… But it’s certainly bizarre if so…. The photos appear to be of a legitimate Rickenbacker bass, from what I can tell. Even has the OEM hardcase…. But as other people said, at such a...
