Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

The Invalid Link Removed doesnt do her Invalid Link Removed But I wanted to rep the MB shirt.

Link Removed. More than once I have been asked, "What is your dad?" to which I always reply "Human".

Her eyes say "Come to me, Kawai."

I think that's true of all the Japanese jazzmasters. My friend got custom pickups made for his.

If I had liked everything else about the guitar, I probably would have just replaced the pickups. At the time though, I had very little use for any guitars and needed more $$$ for recording gear. I do love Jazzmasters though. When I bought my Sound City B120 that was my main amp for a long time, I was coming into a shop to buy a Jazzmaster that was on consignment. I happened to find the SC and it was the same price, so I walked out with it. I've had a lot of false starts on getting a cool Jazzmaster.

420 watts at onset of distortion, coincidence? I think not.

So, do you use the country blues setting or the slap setting?

I cut bass and treble on the crunch channel, dime the gain. Run the clean channel flat, or maybe a boost in the low mids, then balance the two channels out.

You should send that to Peavey as the "GLORIOUS BASS THUNDER" setting. Or something similar.

I really like the preamp on the CL400. Wish they made a pre with this lay out.

I really hope to be able to at least check out a CL400 at some point, if not own one. I dig the all-tube dual channel + blend setup.

It would make sense, given their history of rackmount separate preamps and power amps. Seems like they're moving away from that stuff lately though, which is a shame.

If you ever fancy a drive....

The rack mount market is shrinking. Lots of people moving to micro's, and others moving back to full tube amps again.

There are a few Pre's out there I would really like to pick up.

Last night I played around with the Boss ODB-3 I bought off Nick for a few minutes, on guitar. Sounded pretty cool, I was able to get a pretty thick and dark tone, which I like. Haven't tried it on bass at all yet. I want to try it out with my Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone. Been thinking about going full King Buzzo and just picking up a MXR Dyna Comp to try out with it as well.

 

[Kaa]

I might pick up my bass tonight.

Anyone hear anything about the 600 watt hovercraft amp used at hover fest? I've only seen one or two pics of it. Was it all tube?

 

[Tractorr]

Absolutely the best Yes album.

Pish. It's no "Owner of a Lonely Heart", now is it?

Should have kept your Beta head for the full Buzzo Trifecta.

That Joyo Dyna Comp has been tempting me.

It was awesome, but I only loved it for the built in distortion. Running pedals into it was pointless for me. I still have my Dunwich preamp and my Crest power amp, which will work great for guitar if I want a similar feel without going really distorted and can be MUCH louder.

The used Dyna Comps are so cheap, I haven't even bothered looking at import copies.
