Total Watts

  1. Lacks quite a bit of low end. I know Mark Stroemer or however you spell it who played bass on the track used a modified Boss Blues Driver for a lot of the Hot Fuss album and had that kind of tome on a lot of the songs
  2. As above, ive always had great experiences with Elites, nice and cheap too. Unfortunately for me there seems to be a current shortage of their flatwounds!
  3. I know a lot of people look for authentic looking vintage fender pickguards but usually they look for the yellowy red almost lava type tort but would anyone know where i may find something like this? I believe its a 66 P bass but very much a dark red with little yellow or even depth really?
  4. Latest GAS - EBS T90 valve head!

  5. A mid 60's precision in burst/tort/rosewood and a Ampeg B15 to go with it. Im a simple man really
  6. Tip I had was to undo one of the screws holding the ampeg logo in slightly. Get a towel/cloth round the exposed screw then use some pliers to pull it
  7. Im very much an old school tone kinda guy - p's and j's via a Origin Bassrig SV and cali76 into an old SVT non pro and always flatwounds. I like a 'just on the edge of an SVT breaking up' kind of thing. I recently purchased a gorgeous 60's Vintera II and loves its vintage spec - slab rosewood board, tall narrow frets, alder body, reverse tuners etc but am finding the pickup slightly lacking. Here come the basschat clichés but I'm not necessarily after thumpy Motown tones but that dry, woody, growly open p bass tone. The kind of thing where when you hit the low notes it goes all guttural and throaty without sounding muddy or woolly. I like the highs to be open but not brittle or harsh and most importantly i want it to be very even across all strings. If i was to give an example of the tone it would be this (i know its not everyones cup of tea)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZvz14paUHU I suppose its kinda reminiscent of U2 - Where The Streets but with more depth and lows yet never muddy and always open sounding. Or even more so this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znoxSwzjI3A Previously I've had decent joy with Toneriders though they lacked a little 'dynamic'. Im maybe wondering if something more 'boutique' like Lollars would get me closer to my tone goal?
  8. Local to me, right by the Bolton Wanderers ground. Used them a lot for PC parts and always bang on. Last time I was in they had loads of Hughes and kettner valve amps all nicely lit up on display
  9. I have this exact cab and its is fantastic and that is coming from someone who isn't traditionally a barefaced fan! Really good cab, GLWTS
  10. The SVT III is clean with minimal breakup. The SV gives it that valvey grunt as if playing through an all valve SVT and gives much more harmonic content and more breakup
  11. Squier Mike Dirnt (Green Day) signature bass. A squier has no right to sound this good! Easily the loudest bass i have and kept a £1000 jazz bass in the rack it sounded so good live. Ive been lucky enough to get a nice old Fender P so letting this go. Only mods ive done was adding flat top knobs instead of the cheaper looking dome tops and fitted a thumb rest for comfort. If thats an issue a new guard can be had for not many pennies. Great working bass that is a real looker. Can chuck in a brand new Fender gig bag if needed
  12. Do have a fan, mines not noisy at all and im guessing its the original fan. Certainly quieter than my previous ABM
  13. I had one years ago, sold it then spent years looking for another only for one to come up in a local shop. Really nice amps, no gain knob so dont do full on dirt but a very nice open and slightly growly clean SVT tone. Also bomb proof which helps
  14. Banished to the back room whilst our living room and dining room are redecorated. My number one and number two into a cali76, a Bassrig supervintage, SVT III non pro and an early 15” barefaced compact. Always with flatwounds 👌
