btw, what cabs are you guys using w/ your TFB?
i've always thought epifani ul's really come alive w/ 'em, but these days, REALLY digging my gs112 pair. thick deep, responsive punch! just terrific for the ol' pickstyle, too. my bob glaub never sounded better.

funny, for slap, i love dialing in the enhance. never thought i'd ever use the enhance knob on anything, but its just terrific for blending it that pillowy low and airy high. not nearly as harsh and lower mids sucking as the eden enhance knob.
Not the best pic...T'funk 750 + custom Schroeder 4 ohm 2 x 12 diagonal. I had Jorg use a hotter crossover which gives this cab more upper presence w/o being harsh or brittle. I really like products built in small, customer oriented shops here in the good OL' USA!

These aren't stock curves--things move around!
I've used mine with a 2 ohm load several times on 4-5 hour sets with no problems. It didn't seem super-hot to me!
YMMV, of course!

I got my Thunderfunk yesterday and got to spend some quality time with it, my UV70 and my Aggie GS410.
I am speechless! I did not think the TF was going to be that much better than the Aggie but I was WRONG!!! I think the three of them make such a killer combination. Those of you who said the TF is a great head are dead on. I would put it up against ANY head on the market.
Ever since the first time I plugged into one, I was hooked. It took me almost 3 years to get one, but it was well worth the wait.

Man Chris you've got me missing the Sad-TFunk-Aggie/Accu combo....cant keep em all
I don't blame you. This is probably the best combo of gear I have ever had. The Sadowsky alone is just beast, but when you throw in the TF and Aggie, it is just delicious!!!
Not trying to rub it in or anything....
I have an answer for you. When I got my original 55B it had a flaw, I know I know, but it was true! So I talked to Dave and I talked with Atlanta Bass Gallery and got a replacement really quickly, awesome experience, good customer service all that jazz.
Well, it was not long before the Gold Chip talk started, so I shot Dave an email and he said that mine was the last of the non-Gold chips sent out. So 730 and below has the "old" chip(that's not a typo, the pre-gold chip, OLD chip). I have listened to a "gold" chip version and sadly my ears are not trained enough to notice a huge difference, but I've read its more "open" and less tight. Open being more tube-like.
Now, pre-730's can have the Gold Chip if the owners sent theirs in to be switched, I think it was all of like 20 bucks to get the new chip or something, so a lot of people did that. If yours is used, then I can't help ya, but if you bought it new then anything under 730 should have the gold chip. My older one was around the 640's if I remember.
There were other changes:
Flat topped screws
Small bat switches instead of the longer ones
Red button instead of black button for SS/Tube switch(actually I see now that its kind of sporadic which have reds and which have blacks)
-----------------------
Oh and back on topic
This was actually the one I sent back, I dont have a pic set up of the one i use now.
I play with Timber at about 10 O'clock, enhance is at 2(7 o'clockish), everything flat except for a boost at 260hz. I learned with my Trace Elliots that I like a boost at 260, so I pretty much do that with any amp i get my hands on. It gives me a kick in the chest punch without shaking the room with a boost to all the lower freqs.
woah, weird...
did you eat a falafel from soom-soom then walk over to lansky's for a knish and a beer to watch college basketball and thurs nite football, too?
There is a high probability that I got the 260 hz thing from Talkbass if that seems weird that we both use it. I got a ton of advice on EQ'ing my Trace back when I was more of a noob(i'm still a noob).
I guess I have to attribute the lower Enhance settings to Talkbass also. Again, back when Trace was all I played, I got converted away from Scooping(make it look like a frown to make you smile I think was the motto). Scoop sounds great in my bedroom, but I lose SO much punch anywhere else. I must have that kick in the chest feeling... else I feel like I wasted my money on good cabs hahaha.
Here's my new rig. I had been thinking about upgrading for a long time. Did a ton of research and this is what I came up with.
LOVE IT!
I am going to do a writeup about the rig during the Thanksgiving holidays.
Tons of tone and lots of variations. You can't get a bad sound with this setup.
