For just some grind, wouldn't the B3 work fine? Looks like it's the dirt circuitry of the B7 without the pre. Doesn't the pre of the 800 give you enough tone control? I love pres but the price of the B3 is pretty good compared to the B7 as well. Thanks!

More EQ to tailor your grind tone is key. A simple tone knob doesn’t work for me. I like to shape it with more control that the B7KU offers.

We should start a “Show your settings” so we all can see what others are doing. Bet we are all very close since the Magellan heads sound so good at everything at noon.

Agree...I generally start with everything at noon(ish) and adjust for the room. But I rarely end up at less than 11 or more than 1 on anything. So much eq, so little time...

I use the Darkglass B7KU. Works great with the MG-800.

Same here. For a little more, I have a Fuzzrocious Cat King that I kick on in front of it.

settings?

main rock/funk/soul/etc sound with roundwounds-

drive channel, gain at 11
blue contour, 1030
mid frequency at 930, mid control at 1
bass and treble at 12

if im using a bass with flats i prefer the yellow contour, settings are the same.

for jazz or solo looping or whatever i switch to clean channel with the blue contour.

This “settings” topic is a good one. I’m away from amp right now, but Ill be posting and interested in seeing all of your favorites.

Just now practicing for tomorrow.
Running songs from the laptop through the Genzler's Aux In, Bass in the front, In Ears to the Head Phones, there is no need for a mixer.

Same settings used live sent Post through the DI cabless.

The Drive is still clean sounding, just has a bit of cut and texture to it. drool

I’m a pretty vanilla kinda guy, so this was my amp setting from gig last night.

I was playing an active Sadowsky P/J bass with flats thru a backlined Ampeg 8-10 fridge. Tone was masterful. Pop country.

Venue was the iconic Whisky A Go-Go in LA, here’s an action shot I shared in a few other threads

@Holdsg, it looks like you guys/gal are having a lot of fun! But was the guitar player giving somebody a finger with his fretting hand? That middle finger certainly is extended above the fretboard.

 

[Nightman]

This is my start setting, then I adjust from here.

Zooming in.... And I don't think that finger is attached to the hand. Spooky.

He must be bending the hell out of that low E string!!

MAN! I hooked up my Quilter OD200 Guitar amp to a BA110-2. EXTREME loud and clear, IMO as much so as a typical 212 guitar cab and SO light! Have any of you other bass players who also do guitar tried this? This will soon be my new personal guitar rig!

Just kidding

LOL. I like a dual purpose cab that is so light and small. Bass for small venue, crank up guitar for any venue. I currently own a neat 12" guitar cab but I like this better.

I also play guitar, which was one of the reasons why I went with the 350 combo and not another BA12-3 cab. A 350 watt guitar amp in this size that doubles as a bass combo!!! Are you kidding me??

I know, right? It is a wonder more guitarists havent gone this route. Yes, the MG350 works well for guitar with pedals...add an Ampero or HXstomp and the sky is the limit. I use the OD200 cause I like it's distortion for guitar and prefer the MG350 for bass.
