  1. This thread is new to me but NS continues to inspire me, amongst my other more well known bass influences. Anyone who bought the now-rare Trace Elliot 15th Anniversary CD 'Also Available in Green' will know the song Am I Asleep, which is a song written, played and sung by him. Melodic bass playing and a lovely voice. I think he used different basses on Woodface, but the Spector gave the distinctive punchy tone on Whispers and Moans. I saw them in Dublin and he was still using a Geddy Lee Jazz Bass
  2. I have been using this as a clean DI for the last couple of years, so it could be ideal for anybody requiring a top-level DI box but don't use floor pedals with EQs and overdrives, just to give that option. I've always used phantom power and it's always been noiseless. It works great with an electro acoustic bass too. Some helpful relevant info from Aguilar's website: Based on the respected OBP-3 preamp, the Tone Hammer[size=2][sup]®[/sup][/size] features fully sweepable midrange frequencies in addition to bass and treble controls. With the Tone Hammer's pristine D.I. you are set for the studio or the stage. To give this tone shaping unit the ultimate flexibility we are introducing our proprietary Adaptive Gain Shaping circuitry (AGS). AGS allows the player to kick in an additional gain structure and EQ with the "stomp" of a button. You can now go from modern slap sounds to vintage or overdriven. 18 volt operation gives the Tone Hammer[size=2][sup]®[/sup][/size] plenty of headroom to reproduce the most dynamic playing style. Separate Gain and Master controls allow you to dial in just the right gain structure for any instrument. The Tone Hammer[size=2][sup]®[/sup][/size] is the essential preamp/direct box for every bassist's tool box.

  3. Hi - can the Sadowsky DI be powered by phantom? Their website is currently down so I couldn't find any info. Also, how is it for battery life? Cheers
  4. '79 Stingray Fretless basses are so rare and so special, so even with the strange mod at the top of the fingerboard, I think this is an incredibly reasonable asking price! Good luck with the sale/trade
  5. I bought a Pedaltrain with hardcase from Macieq. We had no problems or delays in communications, and he had my items packed and ready to send before he even received my payment. Great BassChat member!
  6. [quote name='davideuck' timestamp='1488119378' post='3245978'] How do you find the TTE 800 vs the Tube 800 in sound and power? Expecially with the 804, I own the same cab, so... [/quote] In terms of power, I've never had to think about it because they both have an incredible headroom threshold. So unlike previous amps I've owned where I've adapted the eq to 'push' certain notes out, whilst compromising others, on both 800 models I can set any tone combination at any volume. Tonally, they're both very different. The LM Tube 800 has a low-mid immediacy, whereas the TTE 800 has a softer vintage vibe. I've used the TTE with the 4x8, but also two 1x12s and lately the big MB 4x10. I thought the 1x12s would be the best compatibility being a vintage vibe like a Bassman or old SVT, but I found that I couldn't get the tightest low notes. The 4x8 was the better combination because my 4x10 is 4ohm so I barely get the master volume past 10 o'clock without front of house telling me to reduce my stage volume! It's very quick to get a tone together. Fantastic with flatwounds too
