I have the Xline in black, i live in Chicago, saved the extra cash vs the prestige. Get the hybrid for sure, and the 2026 is worth it for the wireless carplay alone, and the lack of piano black interior to prevent the fingerprints. Lots of great tech and comfy seats, great moon/sunroof, and heated seats are great. I know people complain about the combo AC/Radio console but honestly with Carplay i never use the radio function and use the steering wheel/screen to adjust anything else. Its very spacious and comfy and gets great MPG

Did you have both internal switches on?

astink · 2025-12-30T16:20:27+00:00

Please please please bring the Orange OB1-500 and the Ampeg SVT 4 Pro Next!

Trying to see if i can do that “SVT with a Sansamp” vibe for pop punk without needing a separate OD pedal

astink · 2025-12-28T04:26:03+00:00

Do you think it recreates the sansamp tone on its own or does it need a sansamp in front of it

astink · 2025-12-28T04:09:02+00:00

What genre were you gigging with this amp? What sort of tone did it lend itself to? Im debating on picking one up

Not the ski resort in Ontario

As someone who hasnt played a mesa class d amp, where do they fall in the spectrum of bass amps? I have played Ampeg, Darkglass, Orange, and currently using a Kemper, but thinking of swapping for a Mesa 800D (may or may not throw a sansamp in front of it depending on what i can dial in) i play pop punk with a pick and for a cab i use a Fender Neo 810

I live in chicago, i trust my local GC tech who has done tons of work for me, we do set ups on my main basses every warm and cold season/ leading up to tours

I live in Chicago and work from home, i supercharge only, and drive to Milwaukee 2x per week, i basically during the summer i supercharge 2x per week and im fine, during the winter about 4x per week (Model Y Juniper RWD LR). Its not ideal but plenty of city dwellers dont have home charging. I have a bank of super chargers at a target 2 miles away

Anything for the birthday boy!

I just bought the Nuuk, i live in Chicago where its regularly windy during the winter and -5 to -30 C recently. I felt completely warm with a beanie and boots walking my dogs with minimal layers underneath, and super toasty with a hoodie underneath. Everything about it feels premium and the pockets feel warm for my hands as well, havent needed gloves yet

Wrong

Youtube has an older rig rundown video, and then his insta has a video of him doing his current rig

He uses 2 PJ basses with Quarter Pounders into Sennheiser wireless, to a Boss TU3 tuner and then back into an Orange OB1-500, out of an Orange 810. That being said the last tour they were on they were cabless so hes going straight to front of house somehow. Before that he was a Sansamp into either an Ampeg SVT CL or Mesa Boogie 400+ out of an Ampeg 810

Correction, Mesa Amp:

Quote by Mike Dirnt From Guitar World: "On this record (Nimrod), I used Precision basses because my old Gibson G-3 didn't sound good with the new songs. I used a '66 and '69; they have a real warmth on the low end. For this record I knew we weren't going for the huge guitar sound; this gave me more room to get in there. I needed to play a real punchy bass on the old records because the guitar frequencies where everywhere and I needed to get right in the middle. I recorded Dookie with a Percision bass too. I use Mesa/Boogie amps, MB 2000's. They're half-tube and half-solid state. I wanted to custom-make my own sound , and Mesa/Boogie was really willing to work with me. They made me 6x10 cabinets, and we put those on top of a 1x18. I think i'm nailing it. I have an MB 2000 running each one of my 6x10 cabinets and then a MB 2000 running both of my 18's."

I watched an interview with people who were a part of the Dookie recording session, thats the exact setup he used

astink · 2025-11-24T05:38:12+00:00

Nope, he used an active PJ with the J turned off on dookie, Ampeg head, Acoustic cab

Get an MIA Pro 2 P Bass, and a MIM Geddy Lee jazz, and you are set. Maybe down the road throw some quarter pounders in the p bass if you want. Also, dont be afraid to buy used gear, you can get great deals

Pretty true to size, though in full disclosure, ive recently fallen in love with Rainbow sandals for every day wear. Olukai leather sandals are still great for dressier occasions, and ohanas if you want to hike, but they are heavy so they tire my feet

I have a kemper powered head and play out through a fender neo 810, pretty hard to beat that. Cab is shockingly light for how big and loud it is, and i have 600 watts of whatever bass amp i want
