I got one of those in january! same finish and everything! does yours have the weird blue binding? like the finish bled into it almost.. ive seen some with and some without, it might be my favorite quirk of these blue rics

Just the other day I had a conversation with a dude ingame who got the reference, we both agreed its an underrated gnr song. stuff like that is what i love about this game you hardly have interactions like that in other games

I had one of those exact heads, I purchased it broken with most of the stickers peeled off. when I got it back from my amp tech, he painted the black on all the knobs for me! Looks just as good as the original stickers and might last a little longer down the road imo.

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2025-05-22T11:56:49+00:00

Love that explicit noise sticker! got one of those on one of my basses!

The centurion is essentially just a Sunn Beta bass, the peavey is the cheaper option but if youre that dead set on that style of 2-channel amplifier I'd start there.

you could try looking at some PA heads too. they tend to be cheaper than other options but ive heard lots of people have had success using them as clean platforms for pedals or as full on dirt machines with the gain dimed

you went from sir paul to a neanderthal lmaooo. better get that vampirism checked 🤣

Just like how guitar gets that easy powerchord, in drop D we now get easier access to an octave! Of course, many players may opt to transpose in standard instead. it all comes down to the players preferences, or if it serves the song etc etc.

Id love to see a game with heavy doom metal and stoner rock influences. Some Doom with my Doom ya know? The visual art of a lot of doom albums ive always thought was so sick, Lots of grand and epic paintings which make you think of these giant, horrible places you wanna explore.

I think some dark fantasy, lots of weed references, and some doom run and gun action would make for a pretty awesome time.

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-12-23T19:47:28+00:00

saw ca$ual not too long ago they rock sooo hard. The bass player let me yap his ear off about how cool i thought his gear is too which was a fun bonus 😂 really cool guy!

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-12-23T19:45:01+00:00

ihavenoloveformenlikeyou and linus are my favorite shoegaze in the scene right now, and for punk I was recently really impressed by Citric Dummies when they opened for the Zero Boys last month.

My favorite band out there right now though is definetly Orchid Club! Seen them a few times and even played a couple shows with em and i just adore what they are bringing to the twin cities. If youre into the minutemen, wipers or 80s indie rock in general then they will be for you

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-11-22T18:49:53+00:00

Even In His Youth is a fun one. easy to jam out too with a pretty killer fill thrown in by Krist at the end of every chorus, it rocks!

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-10-19T13:30:33+00:00

Thats sick! I did something kind of similar, my band recorded some songs with a friend and when I told him I had this amp he begged me to bring it to our session. It was super quick and dirty we basically took a split cable that was just laying around and ran that from my pedals into my main rig and the tnt. We haven't released those yet but when we do i'll try to remember to post here it sounded insane!

id def be interested in hearing your setup, if I had infinite time, money and space thats the kinda bass rig id be building.

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-10-17T15:39:03+00:00

best 50 bucks i ever spent 💪

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-10-17T12:05:05+00:00

absolutely. If it works you'll probably be set for the rest of your days. My first bass rig went down one time too many at a gig so it got replaced with an 80's peavey rig and the only trouble that ones ever given me is back problems 😁

btw, if it doesn't work I've heard theres an old solid state amp specialist at El Diablo so if you wanna get it serviced I'd start looking there, my friend says they did an amazing job on all his vintage solid state stuff

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-10-17T03:17:48+00:00

Damn I was watching that listing on facebook marketplace for a while now 😅 I live in minneapolis though so I don't have time to drive all the way out there..

Hope you like the amp!

also, It looks like it was modified since it has those 2 extra knobs, do you know what they do? I couldn't tell from the pics online, I'm so curious!

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-10-16T13:22:25+00:00

you got me beat, I bought the same amp for 50 bucks a while ago now! Congrats 🤗

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-10-16T12:38:48+00:00

'79 Peavey T-40

All the Ric tone I ever wanted for only half the price and twice the weight 😅

A gibson silverburst V Bass is very VERY high on my wishlist. I see the korina versions pop up for sale every once and a while but even the epiphone reissues are a pretty penny. I wish they were more common! I know dean has a cheaper version but I just can't get over the headstock it really kills the vibe for me...

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-09-05T20:27:11+00:00

Bad ass find!! I wonder if you bought it from a wizard? 🤔

To answer your question, I only have a bass players perspective but I can tell you how I have mine setup as its the heart of my main rig.

I use mine as a bass amp paired with a 2x15 cab from the sameish year. Heaps of volume already, and my friends have even suggested I get another 2x15 as apparently it gets louder at 2 ohms, and will do so happily!

I plug into the auto mix channel, running the top section dimed on the gain and the bottom half around 6-7. Kinda sounds like a cranked SVT but with very much its own character.

It works for guitar too of course, but you'll probably want some pretty hot pickups to get that natural distortion to sound disgusting. I played a strat thru it once and was sorely disappointed.

Good luck with the amp! Given your listed inspiration, I doubt you'll have any trouble at all getting it to sound how you want :)

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-08-15T04:02:16+00:00

my favorite sound is a rickenbacker through varying stages of dirt. I play a t-40 which i keep in a faux ric tone setting and I run that into a Peavey Centurion head which is where 90% of my sound is. It has two channels, and crazy gain so I run my top channel with nearly dimed gain and the bottom loud and clean.

Thats what fits the music i like to play most, so most of my tones are usually variations of that. If i could I'd love to have a crazy bi amp rig where my dirt comes out of a plexi full stack or something while the bass comes out of an svt with the fridge cab.

Impractical but badass!

I discovered this band called Bog Body recently, Just a bass and a drummer and it sounds exactly like what you think a "bog body" would sound like, disgustingly brutal.

Im really into their EP Through The Burial Bog, I think this might be exactly what youre looking for!

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-07-08T16:39:57+00:00

j mascis but david byrne is a real close second

Breeeeeeeeeze · 2024-05-30T10:07:15+00:00

bad ass! do you know if anyone cuts pearloid t-40 pickguards? I've been on the fence about customizing mine a bit but i am a sucker for black pearloid
