    John East's Uni-Pre offers extensive frequency selection too, anther great suggestion.

    Listen to the beginning of "Got The Time" by Anthrax. By using a lil drive, Frank's bass tone doesn't just growl, it tears your face off

    Absolutely - in general slightly more mids with be perceived as the pickup is brought closer to the strings. Round wound strings are a thumbs up from me too.
  4. Dood
    Then add even a pinch of distortion in the upper mids to all of the above for some extra bite ;o)

    The simple answer is no, because the "amp" bit means some sort of amplification is going on and thus batteries are required. That said, "Tone Controls": You can still use a passive tone stack network, like a modified Baxandall type or even the tone stacks used in valve amplifiers as a set of tone controls and it would work. Fender's own TBX Tone Control is an example of a passive tone control network.

    There are a few different ways to find my unbiased reviews: Head to the Guitar Interactive Magazine homepage and select the 'issues' tab: (The magazine is free to read and subscribe to.) https://www.guitarinteractivemagazine.com/issues/ You can filter-search most of my reviews via the 'reviews' tab on the website. I've set up a filter for you here: http://www.iguitarmag.com/reviews/?page=1&producttype=bass https://www.guitarinteractivemagazine.com/reviews/?issue=&manufacturer=&type=bass&pagesize=50&page=3 Most of my reviews, but certainly not all are on the Guitar Interactive Youtube page. I've set up a filter here too for you: https://www.youtube.com/c/iguitarmag/search?query=bass If you know what you are looking for, then also try a Google search, "Guitar Interactive Magazine {name of item}" that will often return an online version of my review if it exists (rather than magazine format). Googling "Dan Veall" or "Guitar Interactive Magazine Dan Veall Bass" will throw up lots of other links where brands have put my reviews on their own websites, such as EBS, Bergantino, GK, Nemphasis, Dingwall etc etc. It's worth noting that the filters aren't perfect. You may find that just browsing every review could pick up something that the filter did not.

    Hey all BCers! I appreciate I am well behind with updating this thread with all of my reviews. I plan over the next week or so to create a brand new resource with links to all of my reviews that are online, either in the magazine, on the magazine website or YouTube. Then I will try to keep things current.. I've over 350 videos to find!!!!* *Apologies, there are some review magazine links that don't work owing to a server crash at a hosting company many years ago. If I can find any footage to replace it with, I will.

    Hmmm, for someone who reviews amplifiers for a living, this is quite a difficult one to answer. I'll try: Aside from valve amplifiers, D Class and DSP, my current favourite SS amp (that recently knocked another long standing fave off it's mantle) is the EBS 802. It's design is to encompass all that we love in 'lead sled' amplifiers with a really flexible and great sounding preamplifier. I do have a few favourite amplifiers, many mentioned in this thread already!

    Cool thank you chap! I'm glad you've found a solution though, I've heard good things about the m50x's!

    I just ran through the post, but I was looking to find out what you were driving your DT770's with? Mine sounded pants with an old Audio interface, simply because the headphone driver was woefully underpowered. (Literally anything USB2 powered is likely to suffer) My latest interface is way more capable and the DT's sound SO much better.
  11. Dood
    It's hard to quantify in words actually! They're just different. What I may think is better in one could be totally different to the next person. I love the Bergantino though, it's totally my thing! The EBS is absolutely no slouch though. I'd previously reviewed the 750 with an EBS 410CL before buying this one and it was hugely impressive. Thats a great combination. Tons of kick drum slam and clean top end.
  12. Dood
    Possibly will advertise a brand new EBS Neolite 410 too.

My EBS Reidmar 750 has been a "spare" to my Bergantino B|Amp but, like many others, with the lack of gigs and, that most of the time I am on IEMs anyway, it's time for this chap to go to a new home. A very powerful and capable amplifier! A Natural beast Due to advanced soft-clip technology, the Reidmar amps does not suffer any loss of definition in the low register when the volume is turned up. It does not use a present automatic limiter that kicks in at a certain point and levels out the lows like many other class-D amps do. The Reidmar amps simply takes maximum advantage of the power at hand and turn into solid, authentic bass tone. The Interface If you are familiar with EBS bass amps you will feel at home with the Reidmar 750. The all together analog preamp features the renowned built-in compressor and a 4-band EQ-section that is really intuitive including the (for EBS) characteristic Bright and Notch filters. The Reidmar 750 is equipped with a Drive control to add just the right amount of harmonics to make your bass come alive, or if you prefer, make it just as dirty as you like. Some of the other features include: Effects loop (send and return) Balanced XLR-out for live and studio use (with pre/post EQ switch and Ground Lift) Line out Headphones Mini-tele input for adding recorded music to play along with. Remote Control Connections to add the EBS RM-4 footswitch to control Character (on/off), EQ-section (on/off), Drive (on/off) and Mute. The amp is equipped with a D-class power amp providing 750 W @ 4 ohms load. Weight is 3.7 kg (8.2 lbs).

    And if it’s not that, then check that you have enough downward (break) angle over the nut. and if it’s not that, then the windings have come loose on the string, it’s time for a new one.

    Definitely a bass I'd like to try out / get my hands on one day!
  16. Dood
    In part I agree and actually my own taste is not to add the drive to the top end (and I can name plenty of examples like I am sure you can) but I prefer to use a band pass method applying the dirt to a wide band area of the mid range. The secret for me is in the blending of the low mids more than the upper mids and top end (though that is also important). Also, my clean tone is never really 100% clean, it helps the two blend even more. I learned this the hard way when recording in the past when it was so obvious it almost sounded like two instruments playing in unison. Interestingly my very top end has very little drive on it. Thats my taste and although I can hear it live through IEMs for definition, by the time it makes it to FOH, even that has blended nicely too!

    then, if you were concerned, should you ever end up with batteries chucking out 1.2v instead, pop the 8th one back in
  18. Dood
    I'm really touched Bless your heart. It will be fine, for sure. - though if you wanted to, there are such items out there as "dummy batteries" - essentially just a shell in which both terminals are just wired together - this allows you to essentially bypass one cell's worth of 'slot'. Just clip it in and you'll have 7 cells worth of output instead. Which based on your 10,3v reading earlier, will give you your 9v! I cant imagine they would be any more than about 99p each.
  19. Dood
    10.3! How very odd! That works out at about 1.3v per cell - I wouldn't worry about it - especially if you are reading that from an unloaded power supply on a standard multi-meter. Stick a couple of pedals on the pack and it will be negligible

    Followed! Follow me back @danveallbassist

    2. It won’t last two years lol, it was just that I hadn’t used it much, but the eneloop batteries do retain their charge when not in use. 3. The more pedals you add, the more current is required. That of course affects how long the pack will last. Off the top of my head I can’t remember the capacity of the batteries as a set of eight, (Total amp/hours) - you’d then work out the consumption of each pedal and then be able to work out how long the pack should last. Me be someone can chime in because I’m marinading in Guinness right now 😂 4. Eneloop are amongst the best, but there’s a set I bought cheap that are actually very good. I’ll dig them out and find out what they are. Reviews say they perform well.
  22. Dood
    1. Rechargeable batteries on average can only muster 1.2v each, thus I use 8 to give me 9.6v output
  23. Dood
    Well, the easiest way I can put it I suppose, is that some amplifiers when turned up seem to get very loud, but also harsh, fatiguing and lose the low end balls that were enjoyed at more reasonable levels. But, every SVT 2 Pro I've cranked up just seems to stay BIG past that threshold in volume. Depth, girth, whatever you wanna call it, in the studio it was like the amplifier was just stretching it's legs rather than running out of steam.
  24. Dood
    I'm not sure if this Instagram image will share for everyone (even though I can see it). I was in the Guitar Interactive studio recently with this beast of an amplifier. I forgot how good these sound cranked up and allowed to breath! Doooood

    I have HUNDREDS of plectrums!!!! I chop and change between bass and guitar, I sometimes grab something different for my Guitalele! My favourites at the moment are D'Addario Duralin Precision (pointy!) .85mm, but I actually also love those Big Stubby 2mm plectrums for fast playing.
