Is 'too much preamp' fair, given at least some of that is design. There are purely passive basses, passive basses with some control over gain and cut of two or three audio ranges (possibly Sadowsky, I can't really remember to be honest, but certainly perhaps a Precision with an East P-Retro circuit), and basses who's output is probably more a function of the circuit than of the otherwise passive instrument housing it, which in my experience would be Wal, Status, and EBBM. Whether with the latter you hear to much of the preamp is a horses for courses question perhaps?

Glorious amp, loud for its size, and as above, the post power stage DI means that while it won't hold it's own on a noisy stage, you can get that same tone through the PA. I kinda wish I'd kept mine especially when I'm lugging several hundred watts of all-tube amp around 👍

Thanks Andy, nice work 👍

I’m hoping he’ll be along to confirm, either way nice to see a small amp that doesn’t look the same as all the other small amps…

Go on mate………..

Oooh, lovely Boogie retro 👍

…. sort of bass I’d expect to see Jack White playing

I love it 👍

Sadly I suspect a lot of people are skint and need to pull in cash sharpish, selling a pedal collection one at a time is a PITA 😕

Hard shoes to fill Jack 👍

Having been alerted to this thread here ..... ....and having just read Jack's first two posts, I'm looking forward to grabbing a couple of cold ones and working my way through the whole 10-pages this evening. Please feel free to add any further experiences in the meantime

Is that nine songs that were recorded and never released, or nine songs on which the bass part was retracked by NF?

I find there are two core sounds with my DB, how it sounds acoustically and how it sounds amplified. I love it with Gamuts, makes my soul sing, but sounds very average amplified. Stick some Spiros on it and while it sounds average acoustically, it’s much better amplified. Might be worth some experimentation?

f*** me, what a load of bollocks that turned out to be 😂

Appearances can be deceptive 👍

All about planning, I can get 8+ basses in this….

Well done 🙏

Good luck 👍

That, for me, is the difference 👍
