Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

My gear is worth more than my car by a fair bit.

I think my gear may be worth more than my wife's car AND my car. Both sub $1500.00 craigslist Volkswagens :D But I love them.

I use a little cheap-ass Phono Pre from Pyle - I think the part number is PP999. Dead simple, works fine, sounds pretty damn good. I wanted to plug my turntable directly into my powered monitors, does the job just fine.

I may give that a try in the mean time, since I can order it off Amazon prime and have it here inside of this week. Just itching to listen to records again and want to do it up right :thumbsup:
 
So I've tracked down a Bluebeard with a burnt out led for 135 and megalith clone for 125, the clone has a video on YouTube and sounds pretty spot on, both sold by tb'ers. Any thoughts on which I should get? I'm leaning towards the megalith because I can get two gain stages out of one pedal.

I recommend the megalith purely so you can introduce me to the BB seller.

Hey I'm from MI, and I would never cook a burger anywhere but the grill.

You do a lot of pan cookin' down there in Texas? ;)

Not normally but when I was in an apartment I did it a few times.

Eventuallamo I'll getto a grillo por me houso.
 
Anyone have a good budget phono preamp they can recommend? I only have a cheaper Technics belt drive, but the ****** phonic preamp I'm using isn't doing the best job.

The website looks a bit sketchy, but I've had a great experience with them. A really decent preamp at a killer price. Very clean. You can save a few bucks by going with the model without a level control, but I don't recommend it. Designed by the owner of the site, but manufactured overseas. Not boutique by any means, but a great bang for the buck.

@bassboysam has recommended those a few times.


I have a little dot MKIII that i use as a preamp and headphone amp. really nice especially with the upgraded power and preamp tubes. I also just got a LD1+ and it's a great headphone amp if you heaphones with low impedance ( <100 ohms).

For phono preamp i am using a basic pro-ject box. it does the trick.
