The warmest rig?

[Chris V.]

Hello everyone!

I'm sitting here and wondering what the warmest rig, in your opinion, is made up of.

Come with your suggestions if you love a good warmth in tone as much as I do.

Peace.

The warmest sounding rig I can remember playing through was an Aguilar db359->Aguilar 4x10.

IME Orange AD200 MK3 and Epi 115/210. Toasty, smokin' warm! Best tone I have ever heard by a mile.

Without a doubt, although I'm sure the above mentioned rigs are all fantastic, my Ampeg V4BH on top of SVT210 and 15 is the most beautiful warm, friendly, and caring rig I've ever heard. As it is slightly underpowered for most occasions, I use this rig at home for practice, so at low to medium volumes, all I get is toasty warm clean bass tones, that you can almost smell. ( I know, kinda big for a practice rig, no worries, it doubles as amp 2 in a stereo set up as well)

Vintage B15?

Vintage SVT into a Berg NV215. That is as warm as it gets.

If you pack an 810 up and down stairs all the time, it will keep you very warm.

B-15N's are extremely warm. I can't get anything but warm out of mine.

Same, but with my Sunn 2000s

anything eden with a tube in it with eq set flat is pretty damn cosy IMO

A sleeping bag over your cab really helps.

I was waiting for that one GB.

 

[greenboy]

True sonically too! - damp a lot of upper midrange and treble and things get warm in a hurry. Some might say too warm ; }

Har-di-ha, guys.

Jokes aside, and all that, thanks for your replies. I'm surprised all the Aguilar DB750 users didn't sing their song, on this one.

I'm actually quite partial to a LMII and an Eden cabinet... Is Genz Benz usually warm? I'm also looking at a Shuttle 6.0, ya see.

Not that I play warmly very often...I sure have a rig that pulls it off quite nicely.

Yorkville Bassmaster XS 400 It as a tube pre section that can be mixed into the solid state section. coupled wih my Avatar 212 and 410...I'm warm and fuzzy. I also have a Behringer Sansamp clone, (BD121 or somethin or other) Sounds jus or better than a Sans. I put that in cain mainly for OD, but when I turn the drive down the tone gets seriously thickly warmly.

How do you guys define warm?

 

[Chris V.]

Yummy warmness. Just warm. You'll know...

Um

Sorry - I was doing some chemistry, so I didn't get to answer properly.

I can't explain it, but it's a term that is used a lot around here that describes the type of sound I like. Think tubes, but not overdriven or gritty.
