    Sterling SUB sb4 preamp at 18v?

    I picked up a sub sb4 recently. For the money, this bass is built better and sounds more like a ebmm than it should. Cool little bass. The pre is pretty hot, which is good imo. However it distorts way too early about 1/2 volume. I'm thinking running it at 18v would clean it up quite a bit...

    When to play a cover song in an original set

    Couldn't find this anywhere so here goes. We're playing a late slot at a festival, but it's in the middle of the 4 headlining bands. We're debating to put a cover in the set ( unsung from helmet) We change the end a bit to keep the song tight. Is it better to put the cover in the middle of...

    To the Rear!

    :eyebrow: I have a rack mount preamp (ampeg svtIIp) , I want to switch the input to the rear from the front ( or have them both). I was thinking about using the 1/4" footswitch jack ( never use it) basically clipping it and rewiring it to/ as the input. Any one else done something like this?

    I just got a inuke 1000 and want to run it bridged mono. In new to speakon cables. The cable I have is speakon to 1/4" with pins +1 and -1 present. The back of the amp says bridged is +1, +2 .

    backing tracks... too much , too little, just right...

    In the interest of giving the best live performance possible , backing tracks imo. Are a good thing. I'm not looking to play over an entire recorded song per say, but looking to fatten up chorus's, harmony vocals, intro's possibly, and maybe. Fatten up a heavy part or two. I know almost all...

    Ampeg B4 parts Guru help needed.

    I have an ampeg B4 (older blue label model sn# AUSDKA08XX) The frequency control knob for the crossover was broken off when I got it. I'm looking for a replacement. It's not a std style pot. There are 12 pins (4 banks of 3 pins) on it and a tag with aB100KX4 . I'm assuming this is a...

    Mic question

    I'm thinking of buying my own Mic (beta 52 which sounded best when we recorded) , a Mic clamp for my cab and finding my best Mic'd tone settings before I play out with it. Just so I'm comfortable and know exactly what's going to the board. Any one else do this? Any recommendations? I really...

    Help to ID this preamp.

    A fellow TB'r has a Spector 4 string that has been modded with 5 string size pickups. The pickups have generic 4 screw covers and no markings but it looks like a pro job (Clean work). Here is the preamp that is in the bass. Dosent appear to be a Spector preamp. Any help would be cool. Thanks!

    dual rig distorted / clean setup

    Ok so I have a svt2 pre, a 1200 watt power amp, and a hartke 3500. Cabs are undecided at this point but 2x 1x15 and 2x 4x10 is a possibility. I'm looking to run one set up and pair of cabs for a distorted sound and one set for a clean sound. I'm looking for suggestions on using a splitter or...

    FT: EMG 35P for EMG 35DC

    I have a emg 35P I would like to trade for a 35DC. The old block letter logo preferred but not necessary (to match the dc I have). Pup is basically new (purchased less than a month ago). I have the original box with unused pots, jack , and wiring never soldered in (minus the single 3 pin wire)...

    Ampeg svt3 pro advise

    OK so it's new amp time and I'm leaning heavy toward a svt3-pro. Are there any known issues or years to stay away from? Any years more desirable? Searching just brings up about a million posts.

    going to the darkside....ampeg questions.

    Gotta be murphy's law. After singing the praises of my Hartke 3500 which has served me well for over 18 years. It had one good show left in her last night and gave up the ghost today. The tube side of the transformer let go. I could fix her ( the SS side still works fine) but think a change...

    New Cab Day!

    I just picked up a Hartke VX 115. I was looking for a 1x 15 that sounded good , was affordable, and not too heavy. Played everything in GC and Sam Ash. Fell in love with the VX (ampeg was # 2 , $, weight, and highs were an issue). Have a gig tonight so I'm stoked to see how she does. The...

    I just saw these, anyone tried them? Their guitar cabs are brutal. Wonder if they got these right.

    All this stuff.....

    I'm starting to think maybe I'm just getting old, but in my earlier years of playing I liked pedals, eq's and all kinds of junk when I played. For a long time now though I don't use any of it. Just the bass that gets the sound I hear in my head when I play it, a good preamp with everything set...

    spector rebop repaint

    I have a beat up euro reboot. The neck is fine surprisingly, but the body is beat up. Looks like someone took a hammer to it in some spots. I have been able to get most of the dents to come up pretty good though. I plan on repainting it white. Should I sand it all the way down to wood? Or just...

    2x15 vs 8x10 cabs metal type tones

    just looking for opinions. I like the deep bass tones from the 15's but also like the punch from 8x10's (think Tantric / spector type tone) but would like a little more low end. I see the Mesa 2x15 is a fav around here ( if you can find one), and the SVT 8x10 is the std rock/metal beast. Any...

    New rig? been out of it for a wile.

    Hey everyone. I've been playing forever, but got out of it for about 10 years ( just been playing a little at home). I've got the itch to play again! I have a Hartke 3500 that I have had for about 20 years that still sounds amazing (5751 in the pre), but no cabs as of late. I prefer 15's...
