Well if all goes according to plan, I should have an RB here next week. I'm stoked! Can't wait.

There will be space. Oh yes. I will obviously have to take something off. I hope I like it. The BDPG may have come off for a little experimenting time.

That's my one wish, as well. Two channels would be amazing, as there are just so many usable sounds.
Used the BB for the first time on Saturday at rehearsal. Good warmth and low end with a hint of shimmer, to my ear there is a touch of reverb... How it reacts to signal variables is interesting. Need to shuffle some others around in front and back. Solo behind bddi, winner so far.
Been trying to resist a b7k. Just picked up a HPF-pre v3 for some more control. Reading comparisons between the thumpinator and the HPF from those that have both the added knee sweep will be interesting how the bb will react. Need to try beginning and end of chain.
I know you already ordered the Rusty Box but I am wondering how this new Darkest Driving from Fuzzrocious would compare to something like this. Switchable clean boost before and after the OD sounds pretty snazzy!
This thing *really* likes my active basses. Passive ones get a little more top end "fizz" through my rig (Aguilar TH500 and Audiokinesis TC112AF) but my active Schecter and Kubicki are bright, tight, punchy, and clear.
That's not to say it sounds bad with passive basses, but it definitely really likes my active ones.

What do you mean by that exactly? I run mine with the BDPG at times too. It def makes a difference. Now rather that's good or better, not sure. It's def one or the other, just depends on what you're going for. I dig it with and without.

The BDPG sounds bad if you plug a passive bass straight in, but awesome if you have a buffer before it - e.g. a Boss or Tech21 pedal in bypass, or a clean boost set to unity gain.
I wondered if perhaps the BB might also sound better with a buffered signal, since IntrepicCellist reckoned it sounded better with an active bass. I'll check it out later.

Yeah that does sound intriguing. But I mainly got the RB for my P. I have actually had a lot of success with the SA PEQ so far. That was the main reason I got the PEQ, to make my P really stand out in the mix, to be dominate like my ATK is. And it has done just that. But since Ive really gotten into Bob Westons bass tones, I REALLY want to try and get in that same ballpark. And the RB seems to be the way to go. Although I am pretty close to it already IMO. If the RB doesnt make a huge diffference in the tones I have going on now, it seems as though the RB still sells at a pretty decent resale price. I may get most my money back. But Im hoping I like enough to keep. I will know later today!

Good luck! Hope it works out for ya! That is a way cheaper option then finding a Travis Bean or buying a new Electrical Guitar Company bass.
