Is there anyway you can make a video showing your ampeg tone?

Sure, I could do that, I'll try doing it tonight.

...Actually I'll try something now with my friends iPhone

I'd like to buy a Spector today. Alas... I am very poor.

My lovely Euro has gone to someone who has the time and skills to fix her

Remember, when you are int he market and see somthing in the USA, I will be happy to help you get it if they dont ship to the UK.

I have to admit.. I WAS happy with my basses, now I'm super jealous of all the sweet Spectors being bought/delivered this week... here comes the SAS... hopefully it can wait until after my amp/cab GAS

You are about due, I thought my SAS was over and they there I went on a Fretless SAS. It never ends.

I think I pretty much have my tax return spent but haven't even done my taxes yet My biggest dilemma is which Spector to buy when I get the money for it since my mind keeps changing every day. Oh the horror, LOL.

This is true, we discuss it everyday

Well then...Forte 5 it is! Join our Forte club!
I was the exact opposite, I had a 5 string, wasn't for me, had to go back to 4 string.

Forte 5 has been one of my suggestions to him.

I am hoping he does the 2 Spector run on tax return day.

I admit I have obnoxiously taken over his financial planning for him. Hehehe

Not digging the Goliath Sr. anymore?

While I do agree with the Spector/Ampeg sound, I can't help but notice that there is something else that seems to be going on with Mike's sound. I looked up his rig and he seems to use a Tech21 SansAmp so I am wondering if that is altering his tone at all? There is still some grit there when he uses that silverburst bass which is what led me to think that.

I use the Tech21 Sansamp with with Streamliner 900...sounds very tubey.

Man, congrats on all the new awesome basses you guys, been too busy to post on every one, but seriously makes me want to get a new bass.

January must be Spector Month....

 

[JeffplaysBass]

Wow, look at all those Spectors people are getting! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

It looks as though January should be designanted as Spector month.

+1

Can't wait.... it would be cool to keep video/audio references for different spectors and different rigs..... maybe a new section for SpectorCentral... what do you think Patrick?

Like I said to you before...You're the best worst influence!

That about sums it up..

Speaking of Ampeg, I just got my very old SVT-III Pro from GC today. After they sent me the wrong model, I ordered it over two weeks ago. . But whatever, it sounds pretty good with my SVT-212E. But unfortunately it needs new tubes.
It has 3 Sovtek 12ax7wa preamp tubes, one Sovtek 12ax7wa and one unknown 12au7. These tubes are too gritty for me. I read the WAs are naturally gritty. Any suggestions? I'd like to keep all 5 under $75. Thanks, Nate.
Also, this IS the tone with Spector!!!

 

[Trailight]

Alright, here we have it. Something put together real quick to demo the SVT 4 Pro with a Spector.

3 different sounds:
1. EQ engaged
2. EQ disengaged
3. EQ engaged with Ultra Hi & Ultra Lo engaged in addition.
You'll notice when I change over...

Keep in mind, this is recorded through an iPhone and the room sound is very crappy.
Also, this is played with the Spector Forte 4 = Aguilar OBP2 pre... just imagine the US 9v circuit!

Settings on the bass:
Vol-full
Bass-full
Treb-3/4

Settings on the amp:
Bass: 11:30 o'clock
Mid: 12:30 o'clock- frequency at 2
Treb:10 o'clock

Another important thing that I was told is that you have to set the GAIN so you drive it in order to get the tube preamp going! So you'll notice the red light 'clipping' now and then.
And as always, i whack the hell out of my strings....so you hear some ambient non amp buzzing of the strings.

Dude! That sounded awesome!!!! The one at GC sounded nothing like this when I used my euro 4lx.
This sounded really good. Thanks for doing that!!!! I'm gonna give ampeg another shot.
