I have a HB 800b as backup amp. It's fine, responsive to EQ, has the standard poweramp as all 800w class D so power in excess. Less than 2kg I think and easy to pack. If you want tube sound or drive you will need a preamp.

Look at stickers, sew-on patches, logo sunglasses, socks, keychains, i.e. cheap-ish, easy to pick up 80-90 styled wearables.

That 60ish Motown ploddy sound (b15) or that 70ish punk/hardrock (v4) sound or that 80s onward svt sound?

I'll make an offer of what I think is a price I'm happy with. Then it's up to the seller to accept, reject, or suggest a new price. I can then accept the outcome or stop the negotiations, any further haggling I would consider rude. In this process everyone has had a chance to name their price point and that's that.

Pickup suggestions for increased treble without increased noise

What strings are you using and how old are they? What's the rest of your signal path, preamp straight to desk or to an amp? If so what amp and cab? What other effects on your board if any? Hellzero has a good point about the ears, ever done a hearing test? -
This is so much better than the fender headstocks already!

Half the weight of an svt at double the sound quality. Worth it.

DR strings like the low riders are a bit stoffer. Gauge has very little to do with it, the shape of the core of the string however is relevant. A hex core string feels different than a round core even though they are identical on the outside. Any strings that have something like "higher stiffness" in the description will work nicely.

Hughes and Kettner bassbase?

Darkglass does a light 410 nowadays.

Roll off the highs, not too much low bass, a little extra low-mid 200-800Hz honk. Good times.

Unrealistic heavy ageing - did not expect this from Nash

Looks as valid as all the other wear and tear forgery jobs, but a little more creative. "Relic" is the same as in Californication where Duchovny smashes the headlight of his Porsche. Fake sentiment. But what I think is rubbish others will like, so there's that. -
Just run the audio source into the audio interface. I'm not sure what the problem is?

I'm using the ISP Decimator II. One knob, set at 1 o'clock, start of the chain. Bliss.

And then there's the hours of learning how to operate all of that.

I have a Harley Benton Block 800b as a backup amp. Surprisingly capable and very reliable, for not that much money. Most "800w" amps will have the same ICE class D poweramp and even audiophile amplifiers use them (often a lower wattage). The character is made in the preamps.

Pop Goes The Weasel on repeat and watch the congregation shift with unease more with each rendition. -
Tom Morelo of RATM fame has a bachelor's degree. My two guitarist both have PhDs, lead guitar has several, the rest of the band are accomplished tradesmen. My friend who fronts a local indierock band is a Professor in Physics at the local university (ranked 66th Times World University in 2023).
