I'm afraid so. At least it's an awesome vice to have.

So hot. Congratulations dude!

No, it's meant to be one of these >> https://www.simplifieramp.com/bass-station-2 I wonder if it's a real copy or just a stab at it?

Jonas Hellborg was involved in designing the wider range of these amps, and by all accounts even these little cheapies have a preamp and power stage with his finger prints on it. That explains the amount of clean, pure power, despite its size!

I've got one of these and it really delivers way beyond what you'd expect. Loads of bass and volume for such a tiny box. Enjoy!

Did these DarkGlass clones start appearing after Korg acquired them? Perhaps the manufacturing went to a lower end, cheaper factory where things get leaked? It does seem, bar the more fancy digital stuff that the core functionality and sound is there in these DarkGlass clones...

I've got a few 31.5" ACG 6ers, and a 26.5"... . I have tuned the 26.5"er B to C, and it works, but I find it cool to have something tuned a little differently around too.

A large chunk of the saturation and dirt, to my ear comes from driving some kind of outboard gear, possibly even the channel on a high end Neve desk, but I have read a few articles that state he recorded the whole album using his GK rig. Sad thing is, I doubt even Flea will remember, it was a fairly wild time on the Chilli's career...

Great video: Bass Channel comparison of preamp pedals
eude replied to fretmeister's topic in Effects
Yeah, the SansAmp pricing has gone WAY up. I bought my original V1 back in the 90s for not much more than £100 new. That's since gone, and I got a good as new V2 for £150 about 2 years ago. I guess they're just keeping up with the prices of all their competition, as these preamp pedals are getting very pricey now. -

I think for all intents and purposes, in a mix like that you wouldn't hear much of a difference. I believe there is a little more finesse in the BDDI tone in isolation, and the build quality will obviously be night and day Ultimately, it's meant to be a pretty accurate clone, mainly just the quality of build and components that make the difference, oh and the BDDI V2 has a bit more going on control wise too, the Behringer is a clone of the V1. -

A really really good comparison, and there's something for everyone in there too. It gives a real world setting for everything too, as some preamps just sound pants compared to others, depending on the player and the bass, so much more honest than most test videos where everything is tweaked to sound as good as possible, sometimes, I suspect with external gear. My favourites were mainly the Sansamp ones, the VT Bass mainly, but I will always have a soft spot for the BDDI, which is lucky as I have one Eude -

That sounds marvellous! -
I think there's just one guy behind Manton, but he makes some lovely basses, so worth including in the list for sure!

Stunning!

Ha ha, I work out of an industrial estate in Croydon! It's not all it's cracked up to be...

Why thank you 😎

Fair point, and sorry for derailing. We are very much spoilt for choice in the UK, it's a shame that our builders aren't given the profile they deserve.

Another +1 for ACG. I met Alan about 16 years ago, and it wasn't long after that I ordered my first ACG. Since then, I have moved on all other basses, and I can't see me playing any other basses every again. The build quality is as good as, if not better than any other high end bass I have played, and as mentioned above, Alan's patience and customer service is second to none. I've now got 7 basses, plus 2 guitars, and of course I want more! Here's a few of them...

Sadly, even at it's most basic, a 30" Cazpar would still likely end up over £1700. -

Actually, there is this little guy. https://www.rondomusic.com/hxb406natbshort.html It's not going to be as good an ACG, but it's under budget, which is a nice change -

Yeah, split new, you'd probably need at least 5 times that
