I heard there is a Bassic for sale in Texas, you could buy that and add another later...jk jk
I saw it. I can't remember where he was. I want to it was Waco. I don't mess with anything in Waco. I'll meet someone from Dallas in Waco, but that's it. haha.
I went on the site write down the dimensions it's like 36" tall, 24" wide and 14" deep. Then made a box out of cardboard and pretended it was my dually and tried wrangling it in my car.
Weirdly it fit my back seat and not the trunk. Then I got it and it wouldn't go in the back seat but fits the trunk. I drive a '13 Toyota corolla for comparison. The Toyota back doors don't swing out enough IMO if the moved out more I could fit much bigger stuff in my car.
Oh and packaged up when I received it, and when I am about to go ship it back is far to chunky and I have to call upon my fwat (friend with a truck).
Cool. yeah I googled it up. I gotta take some measurements when I get home. Where did you get yours from?
Mark at BNA
For what it's worth even though it's faulty and needs to go back for troubleshooting it's very pretty
I picked him because he had the neatest looking examples at the time.Julian probably knows better, but I think he said all the greenboy builders formed like a LLC divided up the work by region then I think too. So I think marks still our closest builder, but there's also a guy (jay hawk??) in Arizona that might be our closest builder.
@ampegfuzz Check that, I'll be at Chicago Riot Fest that weekend. Damn.
youll hate that too and call out sonny on here for not making it brutal enough lol
You said it's like the best bass fuzz so I'll see what's up lol. I never really used fuzz on bass much ever, I hope I get a chance too, I told my friend and he had this look in his eye like he might club me down and steal it from me when I get it.
I found a lpb-1 and DS-1 for and some pickguards for really cheap in town. So will try and get them too. I'm really curious to get a small stone too never used a phaser either, but I think it was laz who has/had one with his BB and sounded neat.
it is definitely the best fuzz ive ever used. absolute 0 low end loss, which you cannot say for most if not all fuzzes.
It's really only 14" deep? That's about the same as my Sunn. That's like guitar cab depth.
I had a modded DS-1 for a bit. That thing was pretty gnarly. Yeah, lots of low end loss. I sold it to my guitar player at the time. It pushed his tube amp nice. It was way better than the metal zone he was using. I did get a pretty nice thrashy black metal tones out of that metalzone a few times. He would always turn down the volume on the pedal and loose the sweet spot. I'd always be like "Dude! Use the volume on your guitar... It took me and the other guitarist 15min to get that thing to sound good." Deaf b*stard. Well in one ear anyway.
Just picked up my SVT from the shop. I have to give a shout-out to my favorite amp and instrument guy Chris Barnett. Chris stoked me.
He says, "You needed some pre-amp tubes, and I had two of these so I gave you one."
Shows me this:
Thats a 1945 US Navy tube, NOS.

On the subject of gear a friend of mine joined a ska band and needed bass gear and asked me to find him a solid bass and rig. I said ok and in like a few minutes found several options in his budget and he says ok, then shows up at my place a little later with a behringer combo that cost well over his budget and a borrowed bass from his drummer (its a lefty so he strung up backwards).
Anyways he's convinced he got an awesome deal, but keeps asking to use my basses and pedals and stuff for practices and to take to shows and I told him the only one I'd consider letting him use is my only one in service so I'd rather not and he seemed ok but is it wrong on my part not to want to give him my gear to take wherever? He asked for my input and ignored it and blew his budget so if he does anything to hurt my stuff I'm out of pocket.

Read an article in Bass Player (June 2014 - interview with Stu Cook of Creedence, comes right after the Scott Reeder interview) where Stu recommended dropping the gain all the way down and bringing up the drive. I tried it at practice and it works well:
On my Tone Hammer head I run the GAIN down and the DRIVE up, which gives some great distortion. As it turns out, adding a bit of grind makes everything blend better. And girls love distortion, you know--especially on the bass! - Stu Cook
Could be 16" but I'm pretty sure it's 14" and that's good as depth is the big issue for me fitting it places. I imagine the other dimensions, build quality, speakers and the porting are what make it what it is.
I've had a couple they are so cheap I generally just flip them for another $5-$10 or trade them, but they are decent little guitar pedals, never used one on bass.

Do they smell like victory in the pacific?
