Reggie Hamilton was there.. so he had his Signature Fender bass or the Alleva Bobby Vega bass to play into a REDDI then an Averson Headphone amp.. $$$$$$ headphone amp... That is the setup that will be at the Alleva NAMM booth.

Then you could also play your bass through one of the A-Design Preamps combos... I have the GOLD preamp in the one rack that i use for home.
But he also had that running into a 500 series API type EQ or Comp.. or Electrodyne EQ... Which is very very cool EQ!!!
IF you want to start with the REDDI going into one of the pres you could do that too.. then that fed the Poweramp then a Fender 610 can which was Reggies..
Pretty nice sounding 610 by the way...
You pretty much try any combo of Peter Montessis Preamps etc that you wanted.. Very laid back and very cool.. except for the noise level from other vendors.
If you want a huge sounding studio quality rig.. The A design syuff could really meet that mark easily in my opinion..
SInce his 500HR is a API 500 series compliant rack unit.. Put a preamp and EQ or pre and comp in the powersupply rack then send to your poweramp of choice.. Great gig rig and GREAT recording rig in one rack space.

Thanks, Kirk! A lot of cool info in that post. The REDDI and Avenson headphone pre would be one heck of a practice rig! :D

Man.. Mike Tobias is the Yoda Guru of wood and basses.. and he was cut off mid sentence alot by joey.. it was weird..you could feel the tension.. Im sure it will be on Bass Player TV soon.... Jimmy made a few real important points about classic styled instrument shapes that no one wanted to touch.. But im glad he did.. since it was a big thing in the industry a year or two ago with fender suing to keep that classic shape... but all in all it was very informative and very cool indeed

He did have some of those $$$$ headphones too... it was like the AES show.. you know the big boys toys... way out of my league... but Tom Bowlus now... he can get a few..:)

A $1500 practice rig? Why not?! Might as well get a pair of $700 headphones to go with it. Then you can really hear the Dalbergia! :D

Kirk, could you please post here if you see it pop up, just in case we miss it? I wanna' hear that.

Oh, and no big shock that a Brooklyn guy would interrupt others... I'd expect it. :)
