Padded cover for my vintage Bassman 100 head?
BassAgent replied to BassAgent's topic in Amps and Cabs
Thanks all! I got a tip from a friend: Coversforall (coversforall.de), a German company that also makes amp covers in leather, with padding -
A while back, I bought this awesome 1974 Bassman head, but I'd love to have a decent padded cover for it. Somehow I can't seem to find a (affordable) cover for it. Does anyone know where I can get one?

I have had quite some lenghty conversations with excellent luthiers that are absolutely convinced it does. More than anything. Aaaaaanyway. I was on Dutch national radio yesterday. Brought three basses for three songs. I can't embed the video (and I hope it can be viewed abroad) but here is the first one, where I used my Blade that's currently armed with Lollar pickups and an Aguilar OBP-1: clickyclick And here's the other one, with my Mustang: clickyclick We recorded the third one for the podcast of this radio show. Don't know if it's coming online as a video as well.

Wow, they look great! I honestly thought I'd seen all Yamaha models but have never seen this one. Great looking thing.

Let me know what you think (and there are more English spoken episodes if you like it ), enjoy!

I interviewed Pino about his gear, his new album and everything else, released last Thursday as an episode of my podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/65MAcnzE1Ja59w5DoXweCx?si=TaQ1xT5uR3eL6Uv50RZYGA&dl_branch=1

I interviewed the great Pino Palladino! Want to hear it? I released it as a podcast episode.
Check it out:

Still waiting for some power cables but otherwise finished. I've added the octaver and compressor this week and very happy with the board as it is. The Boss is there when I play guitar, the grey pedal is a custom built bass tube screamer that sounds absolutely killer.

I'm honestly probably going to use the MXR I just bought mainly without the dry signal😅

This is an exact description of what I was looking for. I was at the local music store here in Amsterdam and they had one in stock. I tested it and bought it immediately. Killer pedal.

"...and why?" 😁

So I'm looking for a new octaver and the obvious choice is of course finding an OC-2 for a decent price, but I'm pretty sure I'm overlooking options, especially affordable ones. I've owned two OC-2's in the past (which were great) and a grey label OctaBass (which was so-so in tracking) but I've been out of the octaver market for a few years now. The Octabvre looks great but is a tad more expensive than the Boss and the EBS, I've been checking out the TC Electronic Nether (which is very cheap), the Korg OCT-1 (which is very old) and the MXR Vintage Bass Octave (which is pretty pricey). Soooo I guess I'm missing a few? I'm, as is everybody, looking for that square wave Tim Lefebvre/Stu Brooks kind of sound and will probably rarely use it with the dry signal mixed in. A bit like this: https://open.spotify.com/track/0ZfstnIxEN0ZAQjQw4hb19?si=a12f0870c87d470e

I grew up in Coventry in the 70s and 80's surrounded literaly by 2Tone/Ska. Loved listening to it but never learned any as I drifted into classic rock, metal and punk. Then one day a few months ago I had a mad fit and decided to learn some Specials basslines (Gangsters/Too Much Too Young/A Message to you Rudy). Best fun Ive had on a four string ever.

It feels surrealistic: I have two gigs in one week next week. And one is in Belgium. And they're with an audience. And I can't wait.

Tonight the Eurovision finals are on and I hope this wins.

I saw that too after I took the photo, I've corrected it since 😅

So I got a pretty big amount of money back from my taxes and decided to invest in a decent double bass. After trying out a few instruments I knew what I was looking for and found it in this Dutch built, all solid 3/4 bass, built by luthier Léon Christiaens in 1991. Feels great, adjustable bridge, in an amazing condition...lovely. Absolutely lovely. IMG_4599.MOV

Oh man, I miss my Celinder.

NBD! I went on the internet and I found this (Sterling/Status content)
BassAgent replied to BassAgent's topic in Bass Guitars
It fits like a glove. I am currently looking for a wood fretless neck though Not because the Status neck is bad; on the contrary, it's absolutely terrific, but I feel like I need wood If it doesn't happen I'd still like this bass a lot. You can hear it with the Nordstrand pickup here (if the time stap doesn't work, start at 22:05). -
A véry interesting watch indeed. More a conversation with Blake than Pino, but nonetheless very interesting.
-
I played one a few years ago and they're absolutely killer. Congrats with that amazing bass!
-
Well, I tested it. And by god it works. And how. Perfect.
-
I'm going to try it on my Eich 112 cabs, but forgive me for being a bit dumb but I've never dealt with tube bass amps before (in 20 years? Never? Well, not with non-original cabs): is it best to connect 1 speaker to the amp and then the other cab to the other cab, or two cabs into the amp?
