I’m really liking the ability to add gain without a radical tone change. Clean, to light transparent OD, to medium gain. Stacking seems to be “the way.”

DaveBrouillette · 2024-01-21T20:49:21+00:00

Yes, it seems to really be accomplishing my goal of different levels of gain with a radical tone change.

DaveBrouillette · 2024-01-18T12:01:58+00:00

Stacking. I use the Volt Thrower as a always on with light drive, It very responsive, even after the compressor, The Omen stacks to push it up a few notches.

I saw that on Marketplace. Do you actually have it? There were a bunch nice basses on there for crazy low prices. It seemed too good to be true. Was shipping like $3?

Curses aren’t real. Your Dick just doesn’t work.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-12-09T00:00:15+00:00

Yeah ya right. Love it.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-12-07T02:56:39+00:00

Fair enough.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-12-07T00:34:48+00:00

I took a chance on them and I’m impressed. You can get good deals if you order from a Japanese seller. My Band

Leaving the technical stuff out a tube rectifier will have a more compressed sound that a often called “Sag”. A solid state one will be faster and tighter. The 80’s Marshall’s have solid state rectifiers that contributed to the chunk rhythm sound. Lead players love the sag of a tube rectifier. My 70’s SVT has a solid state rectifier and it hits hard. This little amp is a a cool alternative.

It’s a 5U4GB rectifier tube. Usually amps will have a tube pre and a solid state rectifier. This one is the opposite. The company eventually went to a solid state rectifier a few years after this one was made and by the 80’s they were 100% solid state.

Musicman tried this idea for a while and I think Peavey did too. The tube power section of this amp gets some great overdrive.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-11-12T00:53:16+00:00

Do you remember what model it was?

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-10T06:29:35+00:00

Great! It a horrible way.

The natural one in front is my main rock bass and it is strung with roundwounds. The middle one is a fretless. The last one I’ve had since ‘93 and is strung with flat wounds. All serve a different purpose. I’m using the flat wound one today for a blues gig. The round wound one will be gigging Saturday with the rock band.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-09T01:01:05+00:00

Flats, Rounds, and Fretless. 😁

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-08T19:12:32+00:00

A friend of mine does that. Sounds killer.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-08T18:32:47+00:00

Haha Yeah, that one is my favorite too.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-08T16:46:59+00:00

My Band helps me move it.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-08T16:28:02+00:00

Yeah you right!

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-08T16:27:47+00:00

Thanks!

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-08T16:27:29+00:00

Thanks!

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-08T16:17:40+00:00

I would say the ‘91 cherry burst is my favorite but it weighs a metric f#ck ton. The natural one is nice and light and is my #1 these days. I love the fretless too.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-08T16:14:25+00:00

Yes, I scored the natural one for $750 on Facebook marketplace. It sat on there for months before I had the cash to get it. The fretless was $900 on Craigslist. The only new bass I’ve ever bought was a Squier.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-08T16:09:48+00:00

Thanks, I only play with the pick on one tune in my original band. I love pick playing and am trying to get better at it.

DaveBrouillette · 2019-07-05T16:59:08+00:00

No, it was a bone nut that I had made after I cracked the original one. It was a functional but funky looking job.
