Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[hydrohydra]

Time to retube the Bassman pro 300 thinking about doing the full spread just to try something new in the preamp section, also making the switch from 6550's to kt88's, I think I'll be going with these...

krampus losangeles, turn the evil up this holiday season

Micah said he is going to leave his DS on record so he can catch Santa Christmas Eve, I said that is being naughty and Krampus will get you if you do. Yeah I dig Krampus. A little fear is good for the youngens Bwah Ha Ha!

 

[mbelue]

Krampus has also been known to 'birch' naughty young ladies and drink excessively.
Dude has it going on.
Course he only gets to do it once a year so there's downsides....

Pretty sure those are just a rebrand? Way too expensive for a single pre amp tube.

Lol some dude called to buy an amp and I was busy so he said I could call back. So I call back and here a faint voice and I'm saying hello, then it gets louder and I realize it's a baby, and he's just jabbering at me so I was like trying to convince him to give the phone to his daddy who he claimed was playing with him (lies). Then kept wandering around promising to find dad (more lies) then hung up on me.

Is there anything but rebiasing needs done for kt88s?

Nope just a simple bias

In looking for a high gain 12ax7 that isn't NoS or jj, these have great ratings everywhere, also there chart number are impressive on the tube depot

Might consider these, seems like they have the highest gain, although I can't find any info/reviews on if they sound decent or not

 

[hydrohydra]

Alright I'm gonna try couple different cheap sovteks and see what I can come up with, got a couple good cost effective suggestions for my amp

I have a bad feeling this mornings commute is going to suck.

Man Datassian love you commuters. I live rural and have an easy 19 miles to work. Last Friday I had to drive to Norfolk about 50 miles but because of coastal living I have to cross bridges and tunnels and had to be in traffic which is like a thing of the past where I live now. I could never be a city boy to say the least. Driving heavy traffic to a shite hole like Norfolk everyday would drive me nuts regardless of the job or pay. Too much concrete gives me the creeps.

It is 9.7 miles door to door for me to get to work. Takes me 11 minutes to get here, as I miss most of the traffic coming in as early as I do.

 

[Corey Y]

It's about a 7 minute drive to work for me. The shortest I've had in my life. It's nice, because I can come home for lunch most days.

 

[Squanch72]

The last apartment I had was about a mile from my office here. But when I started house shopping, the area is expensive so I had to find a foreclosure for sale. It is worth the 19 miles because the town I live in is nicer than the one I work in.

 

[Squanch72]

Anyone else hate that there are hip hop bands under the psychedelic genre on Bandcamp...***? Yeah I'm grumpy today LOL

 

[Speedor]

I work at home in the city center, no need to even use public transport, I just walk everywhere.
The downside is, sometimes I don't go outside for 3 or 4 days if I get swamped with work.

Pretty fun gig last night. Felt good to play after half a year off. My singer used some open source space horizon CGI generator and burned a blu-ray that we played on the movie theater projector. You can't tell that well in this photo but it looks incredible.

Not sure if it was because of the two GC brand Acoustic 810s but I didn't love the tone I was getting out of the SVT-CL. I still want to try a tube amp through my Dually but last night just further reinforced my love for my Terror Bass head. We played a bunch of new tracks last night that went over pretty well.

 

[Squanch72]

Is running a dually louder than running two bassics? Another one of my speaker questions my dumb arse should already know.
