Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

image.jpg

Power was out at a friends bands practice space so they came and playing my bedroom. In bed with beer lol.
 
And the winner is..... black :). Helps I got a super awesome deal in the classifieds last night. Should be here Monday :). Thanks for all the input!! Next question, who uses compressors and what do you like? I started jamming with this new band and I was having trouble getting a even volume between stings on both jazzes. The white one was better but still not 100% where I want it. I'd be jammin on the E then drop to the a and I'm lost in the mix. Any suggestions or ideas how how to fix my problem?

I have a dbx 163x on loan right now and it's ok but not all quite there. It also distorts a little (not in a good way) with hotter basses. Even with the input gain turned all the way down. Plus it's a half rack so it's also cumbersome that way. But doing a ok job for now. But want a ped and the simple layout if possible. And yeah don't want to spend a fortune. Actually using the Bluebeard on bass for once and would like to have it after the compressor too instead of before.

I run the CS-2 at the beginning of my chain.
 
Good morning, folks.

Maryland doomers check this fun toy:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TRAYNOR-BAS...945?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35d7a26969

"Local Pickup Only" DOH! Doesn't help me in AZ much.
Since the heads alone are going for $400-$500 and up these days, 350 is not bad for a combo, assuming it works. And if it doesn't, these are easy to mod and fix. Low-to-mid volume all-tube bass practice amp? Yeah. Dirty half of a bi-amp setup, pushed to EL34 power tube crunch with OD/Fuzz of choice? DUN. Great guitar amp? Oh yah u betcha, eh, especially with 15" speaker of choice. Mod platform? Move a few wires, turn it into a Marshall 2104, but with 1x15 instead of 2x12.
Maybe you can tell I like Traynor bassmasters :)
