Perhaps try the FX loop trick and push a lead into send and return ( link it out ) to eliminate the jacks

Since owning the Tonehammer 700 head I’ve learnt a lot about the quirky nature of its Gain / Drive and EQ section. So much so that I can see why some past users have not liked the tone at first or struggled to make sense of it !! The input gain control is unlike typical bass amps and is recommended to try many settings as they all alter the EQ and how it works with the drive section. Turn down the gain and boost the drive makes a huge difference to the mid frequency control. Turn off the drive and increase the gain and the mids become more active and adjustable ( less dark sounding ) The EQ is powerful and a little goes a long way Most users never see the clip light come on and even Aguilar say it’s not an issue if it does !! I can max my input gain with a passive bass and it doesn’t clip ! It does allow for clean or dirty tones and a lot in between Anyone trying it quickly in a store would struggle at first with the EQ or where to set the gain level. It really sounds like a tube amp in its warmth and very pleasant growl if required

Plus it looks good too !!

Yes I did notice that !!!

Looks spot on to me !!

Having recently purchased a new TH700 head I played this with my Ampeg SVT212AV cab later adding the SVT112AV to run both ( 2.67ohms ) which the Tonehammer can handle. Gigged it last night and I was very pleased with the result as it was one of the nicest sounding rigs I’ve owned. Very tube like in tone but without the head weight. Powerful deep and warm sound with clarity. This will most likely mean my Ashdown ABM600 will be up for sale soon. It really is that good !

Does Yamaha do something to age their high end guitars and basses to improve resonance etc ? Any way I’m convinced it makes little to no difference on my two basses so something else is more likely such as the pickup not being identical even though they are similar in age Player Series set as close to the same etc Interesting topic !!

And doesn’t he play with a pick ?

My new gigging rig Works well and sounds amazing

This works well Gorgeous tone

Aguilar AG700 might be worth considering? Or Ashdown RM500 / RM800 are nice

This makes sense 👍

I can definitely hear a difference.. assuming both basses are made using the same wood for the body ? Which I believe are both Alder

I have two Player Series PBass one has the Pau Ferro fingerboard the other is maple. Both strung with same strings the Pau Ferro is a darker sounding bass. Does the fingerboard really make this difference or is something else the cause ? Pickups all set the same, as is action etc

Thanks Bill 👍

I’m a fairly new arrival to BC around 3 or 4 years and joined to get advice and tips but stayed for the banter, interesting topics and feeling of community. It’s also a great place to get the urge to try new stuff !!!

Hey folks I currently have the Ampeg SVT212AV 4ohm cab Im looking at adding the SVT11AV 8ohm cab as a 3x12 complete rig My amp ToneHammer 700 is rated for 2.67ohms min load so that seems ok Has anyone ran a combination of these two cabs before ? My thinking is that each 12” speaker with receive 1/3 of the power equally shared across all three speakers. This is my plan !! Thoughts ?

Ok Hi Beams and Lo Riders 45-100 arrived Popped the Hi Beams on and didn’t like them !! I guess I’m a Nickel Roundwound lover as I popped my Fender Vintage Nickel back on and it’s more my sound So I’ve got a 1 day old set of Hi Beams ( cut for a PBass ) 45-100 see classifieds on here

Anyone tried a Tonehammer 700 amp on top of the Monaco cab ? Does the handle get in the way at all ?
