SPECTOR® Club - Part 29

[iceboxbass]

wow. i found an old cd of my band back in 97 with my old ns-95 back in my college days when i smoked alot of herbage heres a clip. but now that i hear it, i dont like the way my bass was mixed there were no mids.

I really like that song! Nice nice sound! I thought the NS-95 mids sounded really good...they came out better than the lows, IMO. Thank you for sharing.

 

[stix_clgi]

ditto. that would be awesome to hear it. that way i can justify doing mine

Sure will, don't mind my playing though.... Just warning you ahead of time lol.

But I'll tell you now.... Go ahead and justify the upgrade... It's totally worth it..... Seriously

Can I get a Number?

ok. total noob question but what is the big deal about the haz preamps and does anybody have any sound clips of one. would they be good for metal and rock? i have no idea so i am asking you guys.

thanks. i actually found a clip with a german dude reviewing it?? awesome sound. where do you get the hazlab and how much are they?

Last month I posted a comparison clip of my Forte with the Haz and my Euro4LX with a Tonepump.

The 9 volt Haz Pre wll run you $350
The Tonepump only $99

Also, here are 2 "first draft tracks" I recorded.

One is a Hard Rock Style the other is a Modern Jazz style.

Both with the Forte w/Haz.

(warning the snare drum is too loud on one of them)

Both show the raw Haz tone, recorded direct into pro tools no outside processing

Chris,

You doing Gold hardware?

Platinum or chrome may look killer on that color.

dude! the rock clip is the tone im looking for so all this time ive been searching for a preamp???? ***??? mike starr from alice in chains is my all time favorite tone, and the first clip is that tone. now i know what i have to invest in. i might have to email pj and ask him if the haz will go into my legend??? or am i going to have to save up for 2 years to get a forte? it never ends.

would you recommend i could get the tonepump and some emg active p/j's and my tone would be close to the tonepump clip?

Funny story, when I first installed the Haz into the Forte and I played the first few notes after the install, I started making strange noises because it sounded so good and my wife an daughter thought something was wrong with me lol.

Im not sure if the Haz will fit in the Legend cavity, it also only works with active EMGs.

but the Tonepump is gonna get you close in tone for only a $99.

Active EMGs and a Tonepump will get you close.

 

[sumgruuvz]

Active EMGs and a Tonepump will get you close.

im thinking real hard about going that route. man i would be like a kid getting a new bass again. yeah after listening to that clip again, the tonepump is pretty close to the haz. to me, it's not quite as full, but really stinkin close.

Right now, yes. But I might throw around the idea when the time gets closer

I just rememberd I also recorded the Tonepump wired at 18Volts.

The tone is a bit fuller then at 9Volts. I think this is your way to go.

From which end were the "strange noises" emanating?

You've got some great reference "tones" in your recordings
