Spoombung Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) I can't believe I've still got exactly the same gear as I had in 1985. It was old then! Still, [i]I thoroughly[/i] endorse H&H products - the finest bass amps ever made. Before that I had a Selmer Treble 'n'Bass valve amp which had more warmth and depth but didn't suit the Wal so much. Most modern amps sound rubbish to my ears. You've probably noticed my 100 watt amp head has seen better days - it's missing knobs and buttons and even survived a fire in a studio. I've lost the 4 x12 cab from the band days (can't remember what I did with it) so I've used the 15" combo for the gigs ever since. It's a little erratic to say the least, surging up and down in volume of its own accord. I've tried to have it fixed but many engineers have tried and failed. It's the pre amp part of the H&H I really like. It's a perfect marriage for the Wal (which tends to be very dynamic and I think really needs a compressor. The H&H compressor does the job. The H&H Studio 60 (to give it its full title) is a big fruity amp that weighs a ton. I wrote [i]"this speaker talks bullshit"[/i] on it when I was drunk and I'm still looking for the right cleaning product to remove the offensive lettering. I tried for years to find an engineer willing to extract the pre amp from the main amp head ... to no avail. It would have been really handy to take it in a little box with me when I was doing loads of foreign gigs in the 90's. If anybody knows someone who can do this let me know. In the meantime I should try and find a small 12" cab to go with the amp head...so if anybody has one for sale let me know.

My original copy of "Quirk Out" has very little grooveage on its surfaces but I resolutely refuse to listen to it on CD, as good turntables are a superior technology and sound infinitely better, IMDO.

I'd like someone to take the bass head apart, extract the pre amp (the tone controls and compressor) and put it in a box for me. I'm not clear how the compressor works with the gain - there is a relationship between them -but it makes sense there will be a power amp in there that can be disconnected. Do you reckon he can do this? Edited March 4, 2009 by Spoombung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took over an hour to tell me what was wrong, using oscilloscopes, computers and general chjuzzyness. I'm playing through it now and it sounds lovely. He is obsessed with sound, so, he may be a candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
