Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[Pelham Bleu]

High fvcking five! Right on! Everyone bow to his majesty!!!

My favorite "wrestler" was Mr Perfect. I loved watching him and Bret Hart go for the IC title. Favorite brawler is Sandman (mentions to Cactus Jack and 4Horseman era Ric Flair). Favorite tag team, Road Warriors. Is there even another choice...?

I was a huge nut for Stone Cold & The Undertaker, but I loved the other massive guys, too, like Vader, Bam Bam, Kane, etc.

My aunt went to school with stone cold and smart guy apparently.

Here's my local 130



Big fan of old europop anyone know some good stuff or is this all me?

There's two really good cover bands in town: A Black Sabbath one full of excellent musicians who play everything 100% faithful to the albums, but they only play songs off of the first three. I saw them in a tiny, packed neighborhood bar, playing on the floor and it was incredible.

The other one is a Celtic Frost cover band, they play classic CF, which is a lot of fun in a small bar also.

Why only the first three?

I can see "first six" but first three seems very limited.

If that was local I would be interested. Dont really care what it looks like on the outside. I would be rehousing it anyways.

I was under the impression those HD130s were SS preamp, and tube power amp, like the old Peaveys. I could be wrong.

They are. Turn the master up all the way, then let the gain bring you to tube grind.

Thus my ambivalence, but I've never seen one, let alone heard one.

OK, forgive the ignorance, but, wouldn't the gain bring up the input on the PREamp? I'm not following how it would introduce the tube gring.

There's only one massive guy in the history of wrestling: Andre.
All others are pretenders to the throne.

With master volume dimed nothing is limiting the signal going into the power tubes. So less preamp gain is required to get to breakup. Toanz from tubez instead of SS breakup from preamp.

But you run it through a real PA? Most bars here have sshhiittyy systems not meant for real music.



Ran my guitard's HD130 as a bass amp tonight. Pretty nice sounding. Gives me alittle gas for one of those new SB100's.

Don't that have a solid state preamp and tube power amps?

Ah, so you're "preoverdriving" the tubes with the power going to them.

Yep.

New Pre-amp Day!

1983 Trace Elliot GP11. And full bedroom rig picture because why not.

Love your bass!

That sounds perfect!

If all you want is power tube grind, then it works.

What happens with old tubes amps with no gain knob, just a master volume? Does the gain come more from the power tubes than the preamp tubes in them?

Non master is essentially "Full on master".
