Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 27:DI's and Micro Amps

[blendermassacre]

Yeah, that would just about do me.

As it is, I'm pretty fond of the Orange Terror Bass 500 I played through. Great, nasty little tone monster. I'm putting aside my next bonus check for one of those.

Technical writing would be a dream job of mine.

I gave away my broken Sunn Concert Bass to someone on another forum, to try to fix up. Not for me, just as an amp tech learning project, they paid for shipping. The preamp still worked, but the power section was blown. I really heavily considered paying someone to turn the preamp board into a pedal for me. I really like the tone of that amp, but it wasn't quite loud enough. Then it blew up. Then I replaced it with a Coliseum, which was a little louder but still not quite there. Then that blew up. My Beta Bass is still kicking, but still not QUITE loud enough. It was almost loud enough all the way up, but there's too much gain in the power amp, it got too mushy at a loud volume. I thought about plugging the preamp out into the FX loop in on my MB800 to see how it would sound with the gain lower and the volume way up. Haven't had a chance yet.

I'm curious to find out how that Concert Lead based preamp works out for you man. Assuming it didn't burst in the colon of some Russian mule mid flight or something.

I'm a trained/certified tech writer, cool job. About 30-40% of my time at the current job is spent doing that kind of stuff. Other time is spent meeting with vendor reps, product demos, random meetings, shopping prices online, forecasting, ordering stock and spreadsheets, spreadsheets, spreadsheets. I like this job, I work for a pretty large AV/Audio/Lighting/MI dealer and I'm the specialist for Pro Audio so I spend all day looking at/talking about/learning about gear. Not too bad.

I need to finish my degree. **** me.

...and yes, I would totally buy the BB/Concert Bass micro amp. Even if you bolted a bunch of stuff together and got it 1000W, under 10 lbs and less than $1000, I'd probably buy it.

They cross the Pacific coming out of Moscow? Wouldn't that be the long way around...oh wait, they must be taking it the long way.

I just talked to my Russian coworker who grew up in moscow and is constantly mailing stuff back and forth aaaaaaaaaaand you are correct..... do we have a facepalm smiley here cuz I'm a dumb@$$

Explosions are the one thing I'm worried about. It sounded great, but there are just a couple of stories here and there about them going south. I'm definitely getting something with a warranty.

Tech writing is a pretty cool job, if you're into language and technical stuff. I've been spending the past few days doing web development to improve our content, getting all fancy with the ajax and whatnot.

There's going to be a huge market for people who can create compelling content going forward. The internet is just this massive cup that needs to be filled up, and company's want it to be full of their product.

I have to say, I'm a little jealous of The_Janitor. MI/audio gear is a little cooler than my area of expertise (screen recording software).

You can keep your DIs and micro amps.

anything under a 100W might as well be a micro amp to me!

 

[Corey Y]

That's it, I'm calling the Internet Police! Expect all yalls doors to be kicked in any moment. Consequences will never be the same.

What's in there? Can I have it?

So is your Matamp floating in the Pacific right now? Or is it the Indian Ocean?

The MI guy sits next to me. But, Pro Audio is a pretty huge and interesting category.
