This was the weirdest thing when I saw it pop up on Insta when they posted it a couple months back. I took over from Ollie in a band he couldn't do anymore coz of High Fade 😅 He gives a shoutout to an Edinburgh legend in the quickfire section (not me unfortunately).

I also struggled to hear the difference between the three 'Voicing' settings. I can only imagine it is more noticeable on guitar. I also didn't much care for the 'Mode' settings. They all sounded kind of the same, except the original Jive setting, which had drive only in the last 5th of the travel of the gain knob. I love the original Jive, but this version disappointed me.

I felt the need for a bare minimum board for the occasions where the Big One is overkill. Or I'm too tired/lazy to carry it. Polytune 2(?) > 3 Leaf Audio Mini > Way Huge Pork Loin > BassRig Fifteen All powered by a Truetone OneSpot into the Gigrig modular system.

Bought a pedaltrain nano. Arrived next day delivery. Buy with confidence.

I'm sure both have their own sound from the circuit, but I think the key difference is the EQ. Both have drive, and on both you've got a lot of control of the highs and lows, but only the Super Vintage has the midrange controls. The mids and upper mids is where you'll get a lot of your tone (I'm assuming) if you're playing rock music for that pick attack. The B15 is typically associated with pop, R&B, soul et etc, so may not be the historically correct tonal platform for rock, whereas the SVT is. You're best bet is to find out how other players/bands got the tones you like. All that said, it's a great piece of gear either way, and there's a lot of videos showcasing it doing more than just the R&B/Motown thing.

My band's first album released last May. Second one is in the works.

I've been out of transcribing for a few years as the function bands I played for had everything charted, and the other bands were originals. I started learning 'I Was Made to Love Her' by Stevie Wonder a few weeks ago. I'm trying to get it note for note and by heart without writing it out. I can just about play the first half!

For the money, Broncos are great. In the event she changes her mind you haven't shelled out too much. On the other hand, if you get the Squier CV and she gives up you've got yourself a pretty nice new bass!

Thank you! The Fifteen hasn’t had a negative impact on the Octabvre to my ears. It tames the low low end, but it still sounds like and octave, and you can turn it off, or only have it on when the pedal is active.

Thought I'd found my board's final form, but then the Bassrig Fifteen dropped, I realised I have no need for two drives, and I decided I preferred the Julia over the Analog.Man (probably going to sell it if anyone's interested). It does leave one loop empty, but it'll be a guest loop or.... something.

I've been lurking here ever since the Bassrig Fifteen was released. I pulled the trigger on Thursday morning and it arrived Yesterday (Saturday), finally got to spend time with it today. The EQ controls are very interesting. They seem to interact with each other, so I feel like I'm still getting to grips with how to dial in a sound. However, I have managed to get a very nice sound with my Wilcock. I've only used a B15 once for recording, so I can't speak with much authority to its accuracy, but I am liking what I'm hearing.

I did consider one of these instead of a Gigrig quartermaster, but they takeup more space depth-wise. Interested to see the new layout👀

It's been interesting reading everyone's experiences. All a little different, but also very similar. Certainly helps me feel more comfortable taking time off, and hopeful about the outcome.
