Hello folks!
I’ve tried to find some info on the topic, but couldn’t…
I’d like to get a preamp with custom specs, short of a hybrid of Aguilar db680, Mesa Big Block 750 and Ampeg SVP… Nevertheless the specs are quite demanding to engineer but not impossible. But it’s hard to find a right guy to build such a cunning pre!
Could you please help me out and recommend some names in Europe (And preferably in EU countries), who could possible be skilful enough to handle demanding tube-preamp requests, and are building fully custom? I don’t mind if the builder isn’t famous or pricey (don't tell this to my wife...), as long as he or she is reliable and proficient!
Thanks!! -
Warmoth. High quality bass parts in a decent price.
Bad resell value, though... -
[b]Compressor brand/settings for specific bass sound?[/b]
Hello folks!
I crushed into a couple youtube-links and dropped my ears… This is the EXACT sound I like!
The tone(s) contains relatively big amount of compression, and I really enjoy the ”squash” and ”mwah” it produces. Makes the bass sound a bit fretless to my ear…
I’m not too familiar with different kind of compressors/settings. So does anyone have any tips how to create a sound like this ”gearwise”? (Please, don’t bother with comments such as ”it’s all in the fingers”… My fingers are pure gold one can always practise more, it’s obvious. )
I do own a good piece of gear when it comes to the EQ section. A 10band full parametric rack unit. My bass is a custom De Gier, not too far away from Bona’s Fodera.

Yep... Here we go:
[b][u]General Specs:[/u][/b]
-Aguilar DB680-styleish input (Passive/Active-switch, 12db pad)
-Input Gain
-Master
-DI out, and per-and post-option
-FX loop (before the EQ section)
-Mute switch (immediately after the input gain)
-Ampeg SVP/SVT-styleish drive control
[b][u]EQ: (+/- 12db)[/u][/b]
-Bass (Tube Driven, Shelving, 90Hz)
-Treble (Tube Driven, Shelving, 10kHz)
-Mesa Big Block 750-styleish Passive Mid! I really LOVE this single function in Mesa BB 750!!
-2x fully parametric "tube driven" EQs (in the spirit of Aguilar 680db, but with slightly different Hz ratings) 1) 100Hz-800Hz ja 2) 700Hz-16kHz
Thanks!
