  1. It will but you already have a tube preamp in the terror. Why add another? There are plenty of other options out there for tone shaping that don't have the... idiosyncrasies of the Le Bass.
  2. Sorry, that was supposed to be directed at the OP. Probably shouldn't have posed it as a question!
  3. Or Northern Ireland...
  4. It'll likely be the same setup as the GK 1200 heads - 1200 watts at 2 ohms, 800 at 4 ohms, 400 at 8 ohms. Probably the same amp module.
  5. Looks like a single band parametric EQ with switchable gain stages. Don't really see anything exciting about it to be honest. Looks like a problem fixer of a pedal. Probably replaces the EWS BMC in MR's rig... I do like Michael Rhodes' Xotic effects videos on youtube. Talks so much sense...
  6. Ah, the old being paid in exposure nonsense...
  7. Tech21 Bass Driver DI Darkglass B3K Mutron III Big Muff (if you counted all the derivatives/clones this'd be up there with the Tech21 for sales!)
  8. Yeah it doesn't know anything about you if you're not logged in - if you are it knows what libraries you have (what ones are registered through NI Access) and whether you qualify.
  9. From Native Instruments. If you already have Native Access, Kontakt Player and a qualifying library, log into the NI website, find Kontakt, hit buy and select crossgrade. There's 50% off.
  10. Maybe not the right place for this, but the full version of Kontakt can be had at the minute for £112 via a crossgrade from a qualifying free Kontakt Player library...
  11. Lovely rig... Too far away alas... And a little shy of funds following recent spendage...
  12. Yes, Original was a strange choice of name for this series. The Original series 50s P bass is exceptionally good...
  13. If I didn't have an Ampeg PF50T I'd be all over that. Fantastic little amps.
  14. JEEZ! WTF are those cabs???
  15. Been 7 or 8 years since I owned the Line6 and I currently own the Roland so hard for me to say! Greatly enjoy(ed) both!
  16. Another vote for the Orange Terror. While there is a 3 band eq, it's variations on a theme really. People call it a one trick pony - at least the Gen1 version - but it's a GREAT trick!
  17. In related news my on-off Djent band officially folded yesterday so I'm bandless...
  18. In your shoes I'd go with either a used Roland Bass Cube 30 or a Line6 Studio 110 if I could find one. Slightly more spendy, but the sounds available are outstanding. I used to gig the Line6 straight to the PA, kicked back against a wall or wedged up on a block of wood as a personal monitor. Great bit of kit.
  19. That was an education! Really talented guy called Dave Castillo recorded the bass at Ghost Ward studios in Stockholm. 4 tracks. My US P bass, to 2 tracks, first was a straight DI and second was through a sansamp BDDI plugin with Dave's default settings in protools, then the clean DI was reamped through a rat into a traynor head and 8x8 cab with 2 different mics for the remaining 2 tracks. I don't think he'd ever recorded a straight P bass before - "Everybody turns up with Warwicks and pointy ESPs" - he was like a kid in a sweet shop! Sat so well with the guitars and drums with very little work.
  20. I was looking at Spector (Euro and forte) recently, had wanted ads up for Dingwalls, Spectors and Vigier (had previously had a Dingwall D-roc 5 standard on order from Bassdirect, but car issues forced cancellation of that - then some funds magically became available!), but the Vigier came up first and I have to say I'm really impressed it. I'll own a Spector some day though! Can't fault your rig - BIG fan of the dUg!
  21. I've played metal (among other things) on and off for nearly 30 years, everything from hard rock to pretty brutal death metal. Heading closer to djent type stuff more recently but most time spent on what somebody else described as "melancholy metal" - Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Katatonia type stuff. My previous band released a pretty decent album 11 or so years ago with ex-paradise lost drummer Lee Morris and Jens Bogren producing (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7Mhb2Peo_VtXjbkDJX1M9w). Things looked to be going pretty well, decent reviews, etc. Then the singer disappeared up his own derrière with ridiculous self promotion antics and everything stopped dead at that point... Gear wise I've played pretty much everything going over the last 20 odd years but my signature shows pretty much where I'm at now - Vigier leading the pack at the minute. Ridiculously good bass. Still love my ACGs to death, and really I'm a dyed-in-the-wool P-bass guy and have too many basses, but it's a nice problem to have... Rig-wise, after being an Ashdown fan for the longest time, I moved on to an Orange Terror which is probably my fav head of all time, but with no gigging band for the last few years my rig is kind of up in the air. Lots of nice gear knocking around. I'd love an oldschool Trace Elliot SMX rig after playing through one in a rehearsal room last year. Maybe a cull is required to enable that to happen...
