Total Watts

  1. Just oil the wood, and it will faintly resemble Mesa/Boogie, although cooler.
  2. Glockenklang is also an option if you don't want to go the "Crown power amp with a hifi xxxxxxx pre" road. I have been considering measuring my rig for some time. I have the equipment but some personal resistance has been ahead. The place should be outside, as rooms always colour the results a lot. Let's see...
  3. A pair of 4 ohm cabs is fine if you use... two amps!
  4. Which unit are you using? Plethora?
  5. Stays in tune no matter what temp or weather. No need for a trussrod. Soundwise, can of worms. I am playing an MG Genesis, a Vigier Passion II (carbon part reaches the neck pickup), a Status MM neck bass, a Status headless copy, and I used to play an MG Quantum 5 SPi. What I like in the graphite is its stability. Neck profiles are different, but all basses stay in tune very well.
  6. Elegance and power in one single bass. Looks fab, and I bet sounds as well.
  7. I saw an animation as a kid where an elf painted chessboards with checkered paint. Boy, that was quick!
  8. Quite a change from a high end bass to a simple J.
  9. ...and if your bass is hi-Z ("passive"), or lo-Z, the fuzz/OD/dist pedal will sound different. Your options are: - works with your bass, put the pedal right after the bass - you have many basses with different outputs, a buffer or another pedal in front of the crunch pedal may be in order - buy all crunches that work with your basses And do lots of testing to find your own. I tried several side by side. EBS was terrible (for me that is), most of the Darkglasses likewise (except Duality), Muff's popularity I didn't get at all, Boss pedals were a chore... The variety of fuzz/OD/dist pedals (and even rack units) is so wide, that I really recommend using your own bass when testing. I even have one board for hi-Z basses, and two boards with different fuzzes (and compressors) for lo-Z basses. Believe me or not, you cannot mix and match every pedal with every bass.
  10. They did an "enhancement" and "designed" the Corvette that looks a bit like a Gus bass. Every time I see a Thumb, I like it, but a Corvette makes me laugh. Thumb is one good sounding bass, but the Dolphin was something I wanted, although never bought. They were expensive and rare from the start.
  11. It may be easier to understand, that when impedance diminishes, current rises. When current - and temperature - rises, cables and components have to be larger in diameter, or they melt. An 8 ohm cab is usually the safe choice. Works with tubes/valves and SS, and everything. But as long as people believe that watt equals loudness instead of dB, they want lower Z, and literally hotter amps.
  12. True. Far more exact comment than I wrote.

  14. What was missing from Billund, was the historical view to LEGO. I happened to visit https://www.leksaksmuseet.se/ in Sweden, Stockholm (maybe 10 years ago). There were lots of old boxes and sets from maybe 60's and 70's. That was closer to the original idea of toys you can build and break and build again. Modern boxes look like collector's items.
  15. A hint of tempo might give a better view to what's coming up. The bass part itself doesn't look that bad but after listening to the song I really understand the issues mentioned.
