Bugera 1960 for bass

#382
When I ear Marshall it's usually got a boost in front.. like AC/DC or Lemmy using a maple ric and a pick. so a guy using his fingers with a bass straight into 100wat into an 810 won't get that sound.. but that's just my experience

If that's the sound you're going for go for it - but it's not what "most" bass players are going for. With the channels in series I seriously doubt you'll need a external boost.

Really interested in feedback on these, particular how the low end is, plus eq range (is it any use for bass?) and volume levels

Okay so at the start of practice was thinking if didn't have the volume BUT turning the gain up to 5 and the volume down on the back to 1 I was too loud for practice!

No loss of bass, plenty on tap. I used the top right input For channel 2 dimed the mids, cut the treble and I was rocking. On 4 on the gain there wasn't a huge amount of breakup.

All in all really pleased and the trouser slapping bass was lovely in the mix.

Sounds v cool. What's your band mix...who are you competing against? Be useful to know if you're a jazz quartet or competing against a guitard with full stack

had some more time with this head yesterday, albeit at home and not in a band/gig scenario. My main aim was to work out how to get a DI 'out of it'. In the end using an isolator xlr John @ Orchid Electronics made me on the effects loop send with the -10db switch selected provided a nice sound to my little desk. The Orchid classic DI elicited the same results. Although not tapping the output tubes its got enough tube vibe for the minimal times I need to DI. I can always DI off my board pre amp but wanted to tap into the valve loveliness! I also put some effects through it and they sounded mighty nice, mainly dirt and octave.

I also played with the gain, admittedly I didn't get round to trying it in the low input but Channel 2 high gets dirty, very quickly after 5
