I liked the Super Vintage a lot. The XLR cab sim sounded good in FOH and IEMs. I used variations of the stadium stack settings. I found that it was tricky to use with upstream octavers and the bass microsynth (with the SV's bright switch on). So, I reverted back to the Tone Hammer for its handling of those things. @MikoFX used it just as a drive pedal using the 1/4" out (no cab sim).

Wow you change gear more than me!As @projectapollo says, I used the Super Vintage as a Drive. I wasn't a huge fan of it's cabsim & with how well it does dirt it just made sense, especially since I was happy with my clean tone.

From there I swapped it out for the Revival Drive due to the improved footprint. I would have been happy if it had been 80% as good as the SV for dirt... Much to my surprise it was even better by a wide margin.

And then, despite the Revival Drive being my current favorite drive, I had some other goals I wanted to accomplish with this board so I ultimately arrived here.

Pretty exciting to land on some great tone! That cab sim bass roll-off really punches yet makes room for the kick. It's the only cab sim I've ever heard that actually sounds good. Are you using the XLR out? Pic looks like the 1/4" out (no cab sim)?Just got back from sound checking my board at church with the drums.
The Bassrig SV is absolutely stunning, it is so fat and clear but doesn’t stomp all over the kick drum. It is literally the best live sound I have ever had, can’t see me going back to a regular preamp or DI after this! Origin effects have done a stunning job on the cabism, the eq is perfect, and the drive is so good!
So looking forward to tomorrow’s service

Another TB member on the P&W thread just posted a play through video using just the BassRig '64 XLR out and it sounded awesome, as well.
Your Pbass looks familiar...This week I swapped out the V Mod ii Pickups to some Lollars in my Precision. I can definitely see why they are popular amongst alot of CCM bassists. Big sonic upgrade.View attachment 7141239
Gorgeous P Bass! I'd love to get savvy with soldering myself, I think it is a great skill to have.Your Pbass looks familiar...
I actually seen you post a while back, and was tempted to do the same... but I really want to start planning my pedalboard updates. I've had cream colored DiMarzio's that matched the aged yellowish body color, but I've been wanting to change to black pup's for a while. Nothing against white pup's, but this bass has only ever had white pups since I bought it over 40 years ago.
I ended up watching vids, and listening to demo's... and thought pup's are still part of tone, so I pulled the trigger. I ordered my Lollars with new vol/tone pots, 1/4" jack, wires, and cap... and received my order this morning. Wiring and soldering is fun to me, so it made sense to replace 40 year old pots, and wiring.

I love the way it looks now. Looks and sounds like I have a new bass... sounds really good. I've been playing it, and it's getting late. I need to go to sleep... haha... Can't wait to use it tomorrow. Now that this is done... I'll be planning my pedalboard updates next.
Maybe not a huge change in tone per say. But I would also describe it as a fairly stark upgrade to the tone if that makes sense. To my ear the V Mod ii pickups compared to the Lollars are darker, a bit more "muffled", and the E string didn't have as much authority.Was it a huge change in tone? I have a Jazz bass and a box of new pickups here. And I’m wondering if it will be enough of a change. I guess there’s only one way to find out, but I’m interested in other opinions.

That's funny as my P Bass only wore Black Pickup covers so I swapped to the white.
I'm with you when I got home with the Lollars installed it was hard to put the bass down.

The Lollars have a deeper yet clear low end, nice mid presence push, and are overall clearer and punchier. Again this is all to my ear. I have absolutely zero regrets, and the upside is you can sell your old pickups if you so desire to make the experiment/upgrade even cheaper.
In my experience, standard wound boutique pickups are a little punchier and clearer. Aguilar 60’s series are my favorite. It’s enough of a difference for me to feel better about playing the bass, I doubt anyone else notices, but that translates into how I play enough for me to upgrade them.Was it a huge change in tone?

Heck yeah that's awesome. Glad you were happy with the upgrade! Did you feel like you could tell a difference too with their harness/caps and such? I've considering upgrading those too, was curious if you could tell more adjustment in the tone knob for example.Just got done with our run through….

I am still getting used to the JHS Kilt V2, but love this pedal. If it stays on my board, I may have it customized by:I’m constantly going back and forth between the Origin DCX and Aguilar Tone Hammer as an always on tone shaper/drive.
It seems like I go back and forth every week. They each have their own thing and do it really well.
The kilt is so hard to beat as a fuzz/drive combo. I’ve paired a slight bass boost with the fx loop in the stomp to keep low end at unity instead of blending, but it’s mostly sub 80hz frequencies that are probably cut at the board anyway.
I’m now going into a neve RNDI that I leave at church.

I have a pedalbetics micro switch on order. Not as nice as Rogue but only $40-$45.I am still getting used to the JHS Kilt V2, but love this pedal. If it stays on my board, I may have it customized by:
Yes, I have the same thing on order. Gonna try that first. I think it will do the trick. I should’ve mentioned that as an option. I have the JHS Red Switch as well. I don’t like that it takes up a spot on my board.I have a pedalbetics micro switch on order. Not as nice as Rogue but only $40-$45.
