Didn't the EBS fafner have one? and the ampeg pf20/50 maybe? If there's a tube in the design, why wouldn't they show it?

One aspect may be that RMS ratings must be given over undistorted signal, and most tube amps that are built for bass and especially guitar amplification are run way beyond clean.

Haven't seen one in the flesh yet

Good thread revival, 15 years! I have a Kustom Defender (pre-mod) that I used as a practice amp at home.

https://fusionbomb.lu/ Luxemburg's very own old school thrash metal band put on a spectacular show. Their bassist was rocking a Sandberg when I was at their show a couple of weeks ago.

Ok, that's fair.

What trips us up is that in this case, Sadowsky basically put an active onboard bass preamp in a pedalbox. Not an alternative amplifier preamp with a proper gain stage. I suspect both the behringer and mxr units will let you rattle the windows, and opens up a whole new money pit to dump your hard earned into.

Maruszczyk, Mayones, Menzinger, De Gier Just to name a few more European brands. Good luck finding them for your budget though.

Try very clean, hifi-like bass when the guitars go distorted and a bit of overdrive on the others bits. This helps give the rowdy parts extra dynamics and sits the bass better in the mix for the rest of the songs. Sounds counterintuitive but works a treat!

Who is going to be doing the collecting? What is interesting to them?

Instead of boosting the bass you could roll off some treble. Playing position, where your pick hits the string, matters a lot as well. Try the difference between playing over the pickup or between pickup and neck (where a P pup would sit). Your experience is with 1 active bass. Writing off all basses with an active preamp would be daft.

Spectors are not actually sold. They can only be cared for on lease from Cetera, who curates them all. Foster Spectors.

Bob Vylan is the only one on the list that I would actively pay to see perform, although I wouldn't be mad if St. Vincent played there too.

Because scarcity drives up the prices you should pick a 32" scale six string.

I think at least 75% of all basses are four string, probably 80% of those 34 inch.

Maybe the Black Metal theme was the wrong choice for a school show-and-tell

Didn't know Don Johnson played bass in the 80s.

But two. And one with flats. And its backup.

One? You need a backup for when you break a string as well!!

Autocorrect will adjust it to squire as you click post, from a mobile phone. 100% certain I spelled it correctly but there's no beating the stupidity of automation.

By all accounts Sire Marcus Miller are much less of a gamble quality wise than squire.

Play the last bar, then play the last two bars a few times, then play the last three bars slowly a few times before picking up speed, then play the whole thing once slowly. Repeat untill satisfied and up to speed. Reverse engineering sometimes helps me.

Thanks for the updates!

Or maybe try some upscaling software? I've never used any so don't know the capabilities exactly.

Maybe it if you tell us specifically what you need and why then someone might be motivated to oblige? Keeping it vague isn't doing much apparently.
