The guitar chords and overall vibe remind me a bit of Pink Floyd's "Astronomy Domine" off the Piper at the Gates of Dawn album.

I'll have to listen again but I agree with the vibe being in a similar neighborhood as it lays down a lot of dense space. I joke that it's our Cashmere! Those first 3 LP are my favorite Pink Floyd recordings. I bought PatGoD as a cut-out (!) in a grocery store in late '67 (it came out in August) or early '68. Never heard of them but loved the cover pic - "these guys look so cool!" I turned all my friends onto it and played the grooves off of it.

Any cabinet that I own that has a tweeter or horn, it is always off. Since I work to avoid fret click/clack when I’m playing solo, I really don’t see a need for it.

However, admittedly, I should see if it helps with getting some more definition when playing with the whole group at volume, where any of that clack could be buried by drums and guitars.

a must for slap bass...

I'm discerning about my tone, but I play both and they sound like a Jazz bass to my ears. YOMV

Theres a difference for sure, how much is negligible too. But i feel 60s spacing is a little round/warmer, where 70s has a little more bark to it (which i prefer).

I hear a difference in the upper mids, but l use a very transparent tone. It makes a difference to me when using palm muting to emulate an upright sound for swing, as well as for my slap tone. ( Tho I'm not a wibbity wobbity slapper. I use it to give parts a tonal "attitude", songs like THE THRILL IS GONE)

The high mids give me " air" on top of the fake upright tone and some definition of the initial pluck.


I'm much less picky on "straight" blues gigs where we aren't swinging or going for more contemporary sounds. On those gigs, pretty much any bass will do and l stick to one tone and one technique.

SVT-210 The Classic cab with a piezo tweeter- although that's usually backed off.

So it looks like it’s a bigger cab than the standard 210AV.
Is that correct?
If so, i’m wondering if it’s ported and does it pump out a little more
Low end.

My EICH 115 ported cab has an adjustable tweeter that has a half/off/full switch. In my "bass room" - it's off, but I like that it has the other options for other situations.

I never use the tweeter on my 112XS.
I love that the speaker is ceramic.
Very articulate and neutral with tons of clarity and punch.

First off, thank you for reading it. So I was backed into a corner with no guitarists to trust, so I had to fend for myself- with that said, It made more than my brain hurt but I saved about 600 USD because the previous owner apparently got in over his head-

I’m no expert. But I’ve been able to pick up a lot of knowledge hanging out here.

One of a very few T.P. songs I like. Nice job.

It's not often I play a venue where I can bring the big rig.

I used my EICH a couple of times live where they had a good FoH but it primarily lives at home. You describe its character accurately.

That’s clever

EICHs are the bomb. I played through a couple at Schroeder’s shop in Hacienda Heights when he was a distributor.

They were early 'retro' in the '90s -

Thomas Eich was also known for TCH & TecAmp before starting EICH - my 115 EICH cab (R) is smaller than the 115 TecAmp (L - not mine) which is of similar size as my '76 B-15 cab. I think the smaller size gives it its articulation/focus. The Ampeg sound is fuller with more depth, especially after adding a late '60s JBL D140R speaker. It projects better in a live situation whereas the EICH works best through FoH and a smaller (coffeehouse) space.
