Looks nice but I'd have preferred the '68-'71 version with the SC in the sweet spot. -
What I mean is simply 'flat', whether in passive mode or active. From what i've heard in demos the active preamp doesn't appear to add a huge amount of colour which I appreciate. I'm just wondering if 'brighter' equals weedier or less good in a mix etc.
-
I've always read that Sandbergs are 'brighter' than Fenders. Is this really the case? Do they simply need an EQ tweak to get in the same ballpark? I'm assuming it's the pickups. I keep looking at California VTs with the reverse P/J config wondering if it would add something 'more' to a passive Fender US P bass and not sound 'less'.

Yes there are two shallow holes under the housing, but what i mean are no drill holes for screws.
-
Having done a bit of research I think the answer is no, but I thought I'd ask here. While I like the Fender lightweight tuners they added from 2008 on, I'm not keen on the huge clover pegs (still trying to look like a double bass). I'd prefer smaller Y pegs a la Hipshot. The 2008 tuners i have, have no drill holes, while a Hipshot would require a newly drilled hole which i'd like to avoid at this point. Alternatively, if you could just change the pegs and keep the rest of the tuner housing, that would be great but I assume that's non-starter. Mine look like the attached image. Has anyone tried something similar? Thanks.

I think the original 2x15 cabs were around 300w. A 100w class D head that size makes little sense. It must be 1000w, especially as I reckon they're going after the 'stoner' market, were original Beta Leads and the like are sought after.
-
What's the noise floor like on these? Any discernible hiss that you often get with class D? How's the headphone out for practice?

Yes, all stock. A Rio Grande Pitbull in the neck and P-Blade (Joe Naylor) in the middle/bridge. -

Been meaning to add this here for a while, in its Root Beer Sparkle glory. Powerful pickups, versatile, fat, woody tone from the set neck korina body/neck, rosewood fretboard. Lightweight too. I love the neck which is based on Watt's "Dan Bass" ('65 Gibson EB-0) -
Ok thanks. what about the switches below, ultra hi/lo, cab sim and voice. Is this always on or on one of the switches? It doesn't seem very intuitive.
-
Can someone explain? I see two footswitches. Which part is the Preamp only (VOL, EQ, LEVEL?) and which bit is the SGT (COMP, GRIT and all the switches below)? Thanks.

Caveman Audio BP1, a very, very, very short review...

Nice. So compressor in the loop for best results? And I guess for recording, DI out straight into your recording interface? -
I'm also searching for one. I had narrowed it down to the MXR M87, Boss BC-1x, TCE SpectraComp and Empress Bass Comp. My brain thinks that I ought to go for the Empress and be done with it, but would I be equally happy with the slightly cheaper M87? It sounds good in demos and whilst the Boss has that threshold pot, it sounded a little more processed to be in some demos vs the M87. I'm after a transparent one which will just help with a the transients which get past my own control. Would the SpectraComp just work too? The one knob is both good (easy) and bad (feels less versatile). I'm not one to spend hours on FX pedal editing software.

I never had any volume issues gigging it. If anything it was clearer at louder levels. They are loud anyway, with the originals delivering 500w at 4 or 8 ohms.
-
They were cheap 12AX7s, unbranded I think, so distortion came on quick/early on the dial. But the current TB has a clean switch.
