This thing!
It's insanity!

The two knobs at the right are the channel volumes - they're barely at 2
It's not quite as bassy as a some bass amps, maybe a bit more lo- mid, but with the band it's riding in mix very nicely.

I absolutely love mine!

Yup. That's it.

Per equipboard, he played quite a variety of basses - but no Gibsons.

John Birch among them. My Jim Lea bass is a replica of Jim's John Birch bass made by John Diggins (Diggins worked at Birch in the 70s). It's very similar to one of Geezers Birch basses.

Also can be done with the 2 channel SVT’s

Yep. Pretty much any of the 4 input tube amps will let you do that.

So would it be a "sonofabirch"?

The Woodland Park Zoo is a fantastic place to catch a show.

You should go. Both are great bands. Built to Spill is essentially Doug Martsch with changing members over the years. The current bassist is Melanie Radford. She isn’t very well known, but she’s a nice player. This is her with her other project, Blood Lemon.


And with BTS.

Just goes to show in rock music (at least), the mids are more important than the bass. What does jumpering the channels do?

I mids

Looked to me like a woman in desperate need of a non-reverse TBird.

Hoping the big one that will hit the Bay Area will wait another 40 years or so. (Just milliseconds in geological time)

It's the Mega-quake/tsunami in the northwest that will happen in the next 40 years, and it will trigger faults down the coast to CA. If when that happens - it's surfs up baby!

Found out the other day them Hiwatt amps are made in a close town to me only around 14 miles away.. Would love to have a blast through one

Yep. Pretty much any of the 4 input tube amps will let you do that.

OK, my Music Man has 2 "normal" channels and 2 bass channels. They are about a foot apart. Can I do the same thing (channel 1 to channel 2)? Then where to you plug in the bass? Either remaining input?

That’s basically what my Ampeg combo stack of shame is doing, two completely different sounds blended together

only not tube
Or cool

oh nevermind!

It can.

I especially like Blood lemon, but BTS is cool, too. And I really like the bass playing. Marshall comes through with new (to me) music again!

The BTS singer/guitarist makes me think of Neil on ludes.

Yes, see next answer, yes.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Please don't point remasters at me. They're almost always a disappointment compared to the original.

if there’s 2 inputs for channel one.
Bass goes into one of them, then you jump from channel 1 to 2.
