A bit like you I'm also going to be using the built in drive on my amp and the Hyperluminal comp is included "for free" so it will be rude for me not to use it! 😀 Just glad that the AO drive is getting such unsolicited high praise from you as it just so happens to be the pre-amp drive stuck onto a pretty decent 900W power amp that's shortly making it's way over to East Landern, and is going to replace its predecessor DG M900 which has been my trusty engine-room for the past 18 months. You've defo got me looking forward more to this upgrade than I was 12 hours ago I was about to offer lending you my AO, but instead I see you have taken the nuclear option! The AO amp has the growl/grunt (bass boost) and bite switches that were missing from the M900. A good thing as the M900 has the bass boost permanently on, which you don't really need when using a BB!

That would have been very kind of you dB. It seems to me that 'growl' & 'bite' are integral to the AO pedal and DG have simply imported the AOmicron features lock stock and barrel on the AO900. They don't appear on the DG M900 v2. This has definitely become an official de-rail now - lol! Sorry! Quote

I was telling you about the benefits of the AO pedal just a few weeks ago and sent you that demo video highlighting it's versatility. Still the better sounding of the DG pedal range IMO. Back on topic! Quote

matbard Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Any news about the Peter Hook Signature model? Quote

AndyTravis Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Nice that. i know my old one is coming up for sale. Can’t afford either 🙄 Quote
Al Krow Posted October 15, 2019 Author Posted October 15, 2019 Excuse my pulling you over to this fanboy thread to avoid risking de-railing the Berg one! 😉 Couldn't but help spot the rather tasty bass you have on the left hand side (and a not too shabby rig either!). Which model? 17 minutes ago, RigorMortens said: Recently traded this Grand Dark in. We’re getting along just fine 😉 Quote
dave_bass5 Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 First time I've seen another Markbass F1 in red. Love mine, although these days I don't use it. Quote
AndyTravis Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 1025x @Al Krow thought you’d spot that a country mile off? Quote

Well yes, but I didn't want to presume! But given that it's the same vintage white as my BB 1025, you can understand why it caught my eye! Must admit I've generally preferred the look of the BBs without the pick guards, but the PG plus the chrome knobs on that X look great! Edited October 15, 2019 by Al Krow Quote
RigorMortens Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 No worries @Al Krow 🙂 And @AndyTravis is spot on, 1025x is correct. I've had it for a few years, in which a number of higher end, more flashy basses have come and gone. This one is not going anywhere. Did compare it to a 2025x at some point, but I'm not good enough to tell the difference. @dave_bass5 the F1 is great little head. Hard to beat the combination of performance, size and second hand price tag. I use it mostly at home though. For heavier duty I use my old Trace Elliot head. 1 Quote

Al Krow Posted October 15, 2019 Author Posted October 15, 2019 Don't look now, but this thread is about to hit a major milestone in the number of views it's had! What a great set of basses with such a loyal following - and for good reason! - you've made Yamaha! 🥂 Quote
