You're welcome! Take your time tweaking it when you go try it out!
I'm sure you will take one home eventually
Yeah, I have to learn how...and I have this macbook I just bought so if anyone has any advise??:
Congrats on the new basses guys! Hey Patrick, I thought you said you weren't interested in non NS basses?
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.

well you will need an interface first but, then you can just use garageband and its pretty easy even I could figure it out.

That sounded good!
I know I am liking that alot too.
It is primarily sold as a Vocal Pre Amp but I was reading that people have tried it for Bass and it sounds pretty darn good.
Best part about it, $29.99 and comes with a AC Adaptor
Sam, you already know I love your GK set up. This is more for future reference but for when I eventually add another speaker to my rig, what do you think would go well with a 410 ( speaker/woofer wise, not brand) and why?

great clips Lima! it is a toss up for clip 2 and 3 for me.... that pocket pod sounds pretty cool too.. I think with some more tweaking that would be my favorite
great buy on that thing I am passing that question to Worship,
He has much more knowledge of speaker cabs then I do.

lol... well I've had 410s 215s and 110. and played a bunch more. For your setup I would suggest either another 410 a 210 or 212. depending on what you need. I would also say stay with the same series and brand that you have (GK NEO). I think the general rule of thumb is keep the same speaker size. I think it matters when combining cabs, personally. cabs in the same series are generally voiced to work with each other.
I've heard people really like the 410neo and the 212neo paired up

They all sounded great. I know Spector and ampeg is a legendary combo, but Spector and GK is still a force to be reckoned with. I love the sound of my legend through my MB500.
