went with an ls-2 we'll see if it works

[quote name='Musicman20' post='806289' date='Apr 14 2010, 05:28 PM']Ah, here is the spec: TONE HAMMER - (click here for sample settings) This preamp/direct box is so strong and powerful it could only be called the "Tone Hammer"! Based on the respected OBP-3 preamp, the Tone Hammer features fully sweepable midrange frequencies in addition to bass and treble controls. With the Tone Hammer's pristine D.I. you are set for the studio or the stage. To give this tone shaping unit the ultimate flexibility we are introducing our proprietary Adaptive Gain Shaping circuitry (AGS). AGS allows the player to kick in an additional gain structure and EQ with the "stomp" of a button. You can now go from modern slap sounds to vintage or overdriven. 18 volt operation gives the Tone Hammer plenty of headroom to reproduce the most dynamic playing style. Separate "Gain" and "Master" controls allow you to dial in just the right gain structure for any instrument. The Tone Hammer is the essential preamp/direct box for every bassist's tool box. Features: Pre/Post DI Unbalanced output can drive a power amp AGS circuitry Cut and boost of treble, mid and bass frequencies Fully sweepable midrange frequencies Powered by two nine volt batteries, phantom power or optional universal power supply Ground lift switch Heavy Duty steel construction Specs: Inputs: One 1/4" jack Outputs: One 1/4" jack, One XLR (nominal output - 14 dBu balanced) EQ: Bass +/- 18 dB @ 40 Hz Mid +/- 17 dB @ 180 Hz to 1 kHz Treble +/- 18 dB @ 4 kHz Controls: Ground lift switch Pre/Post DI switch Engage switch AGS switch Warranty: Three year limited Optional: 18 volt power supply ----------- So it has the OBP-3 preamp in it. There might not be any point in getting it if you have an Aguilar pre....but then again it depends if you prefer the dirt on the sansamp or tone hammer. Both work....DI is great.[/quote] thanks man! yeh would be nice to be able to add the pre to my fender p tho? Mmm well im thinking im gonna just have to try em out! andy

[quote name='Musicman20' post='805227' date='Apr 13 2010, 07:27 PM']They both sound quite different! Both di, the sansamp is more classic ampeg-ish, the tone hammer is little more modern and has a pre amp built in so it can 'active' your passive basses.[/quote] would that pre amp screw with the pre amp in my modulus? ive got the 0bp-1 aggie pre in it btw. andy

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='805230' date='Apr 13 2010, 07:29 PM']See also the thread on how to get the best out of the BDDI - the results you'll get will be closely bound to what rig you're running through.[/quote] im running a db750 thru a 610hlf peg at the minute. but soon will be running that rig alongside a lm2 with two 210 ampeg cabs as a dirty rig which would be what this will be running thru eventually. but also like the idea of being able to send a dirty sig to the pa using the di. andy

looking into adding a bit of grit on some songs in my band. both of these can do it but what would you guys go with? andy

ive had a search and i haven't found anything that can do what i need without a massive midi board or having to have my pedals out front. here's a drawing of what my rig is gonna be, the only difference will be my wah pedal which will be after my bass first in the chain. basically im looking for something to do the job of the blue box? i want to be able to switch between to different loops of pedals to send to my dirty rig. so i basically need an a/b switch that has an input for the clean bass sig, an output to the effected rig, but on the switches it has loop inputs? anybody know of anything that could do this or how to construct something that can? i want to put all my pedals in a draw rack unit with my lm2 will just make my life a lot easier! andy

[quote name='yybass' post='789746' date='Mar 29 2010, 06:45 PM']The DB751 has quieter fans compared to the DB750 and the sound is slightly smoother, but still delivers a punch and I don't regret for one minute giving up my Epifani 502. [/quote] yeh the fan is loud on my 750 but i can live with it, glad the 751 sounds similar to the 750 tho as that sounds awesome! andy

[quote name='Golchen' post='788148' date='Mar 27 2010, 07:49 PM']Can't help with choices as I'm thick on that sort of thing, but I've always fancied a Modulus myself. It would have to be a 5 though.[/quote] Mate if you can try them out go for it awesome basses and there not stupid money! Now woz, I'm thinking more the j style now for something a bit dif, but there getting back to me next week sometime with what options they have avalible that aren't on there site? I'm just looking for advice from someone who's played with the j type modulus's got to be someone on here? I know ian on here from smart but so well see what they come back with Andy

[quote name='William James Easton' post='787902' date='Mar 27 2010, 02:52 PM']how much are little marks and little giants going for nowadays. may eventually give into the mark band wave budgets and all that, reckon i'll be able to spend 250 max on an amp. cab could be sorted very soon![/quote] i managed to get my lm2 for 350 secondhand andy

was looking at getting a warwick 5er but after looking at the price and seeing its just to much money! ive decided to go down a route that i know! i love my fb4 so im gonna be getting a 5 string version. but im thinking of going down a slightly different route, probs get the 0BP-3 instead of the 0BP-1 pre amp. but mainly i want to know what people would recommend for pickup/s I like the idea of having the j type pups in it, but ive just seen on there gallery shots that it looks like you can have a mm and j setup which would be cool! as i love the sd basslines pickup i have in my fb4. color wise im thinking of the pic below! so what would you guys go for preamp and pickups wise? andy

[quote name='budget bassist' post='787594' date='Mar 27 2010, 01:42 AM']He said Bob Rock and [b]James[/b], not Jason.[/quote] jeez sorry! thats my bad! reading to quickly. anyway after working out the prices i just cant see this being a viable choose for me! i think im gonna go down a route that i know and trust which is modulus. just looking at the prices i can custom the hell out of it, and probs still be under 2 grand! thanks for all you posts guys sorry its a waste of time thread! andy

does it have to be ampeg? i a/b'd the svt cl against the aguilar db750 and if you look in my sig you'll see what won! honestly give it a go if you can! i love the ampeg cabs! but i had a prob with an svt pro 6 i had so i changed amp but love there cabs! andy

[quote name='Chris2112' post='786558' date='Mar 26 2010, 03:18 AM']I know, hence me saying "although the lines on the album are amazingly played too". Albeit it by Bob Rock and James. On a Spector owned by the bassist from Loverboy, no less![/quote] Woah! Jason left well before the st anger recording started, its just bob rock on the album Andy

[quote name='Mog' post='785350' date='Mar 24 2010, 11:43 PM']Yes really. Not a patch on Newstead IMO. There might be a few clips of the Dublin gig a few years back when they did the Master 20th aniversary thingy on the goo tube.[/quote] i really dnt get the love for newstead hes a good bassist. and the only video ive seen of him doing orion hes playing the slow riff completely wrong! andy

the back up to my svt pro 6 and now to my db750 is a little mark 2! works really well for me on the small gigs we do where i can't get the db750 and 610hlf to, and ive used it in the past thru my 610 and it was bloody loud! i'd def try one out! andy

[quote name='budget bassist' post='785171' date='Mar 24 2010, 09:14 PM']I've seen metallica a couple of times and rob's playing was pretty solid, though i'm a big metallica fan, and i really do hate death magnetic, i don't see how anyone can think it's close to their earlier stuff at all. I don't see how that bass is any different to a streamer CT other than the inlay though.[/quote] not but its at least going back in the right direction. and yeh as dwh87 said its got a dif body and that. which may work out that its a better thing to get rather than making a streamer to the same specs. only prob is its got a really big signature on the head stock and the inlay! dnt mind the inlay so much but i dnt really want the sig on it wish they'd of put it on the back of the headstock! andy

[quote name='hellothere' post='780744' date='Mar 20 2010, 01:16 PM']I think he played on the tour though. If you look at a chronological list of metallica's albums its the same as reading a list of their best to worst albums.[/quote] i think thats harsh! ok so there middle albums dnt sound like kill em all! thats just them growing up! for me death magnetic is an awesome album! badly produced and doesnt sound all that great but it is a very solid album! id much rather they changed than did what slayer have done! just release the same thing over and over again! on the rob sig warwick, if its less than the equal custom warwick i might think about it? as to get similar specs your talking like 6 grand! which is silly money! andy

[quote name='Ergon Oli' post='780683' date='Mar 20 2010, 12:17 PM']His work on the first couple of Infectious Grooves albums is solid as anything else. His technique might seem sloppy but he has made it work for him. He's been doing it a hell of a long time without any problems. Great player.[/quote] really sloppy? in what way? listen to the bass only tracks from death magnetic nout sloppy there! andy

[quote name='Mog' post='778244' date='Mar 18 2010, 08:35 AM']Yep, thats why he f***s up orion every time I've seen him try to play it. Seen him six times in total with different bands and each time its the same. Sloppy. Sure he has aggressive attack and speed but that doesn't make him a good bassist IMHO.I judge him on is what I have seen and it aint good. Simple as.[/quote] am really! i think its tiny little slip ups? nothing thats really bad! ive seen him twice and he was on the money! andy

ok so we've just added another song demo to our player! "waiting for my life to begin" would be cool if you guys could give some views on it andy

well i just looked up the price of a similar model if i got it made as a custom! and i had to stop at 4000! oh well! the chrome finish is on there site is 1000! on a nt! so im thinking its gonna alot of monies! this makes me sad! andy
