Cuzzie Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) No he’s said you could get near depending on how you dial things in. His is dialled in differently as it’s his sound. He also refers to them with reference as to how good their sound is. The key is not just the bass in isolation, it’s in the context of the song and what guitars are doing around him. Yes he has a signature sound, but it does alter slightly as to how he mixes it and clean and distortion. Listen to the evolution of it through Kings X albums Faith Hope Love, Gretchen goes to Nebraska, Tapehead, Ear candy, Dogman and it’s not just down to down tuning for which they were one of the first main stream rock doing it alongside Dokken, even though blues had been doing it for years. Listen to his Bass sound in other bands Supershine, KXM both albums and Grinder Blues, you will get more of a picture of possibilities and how to fold the bass around the music. Now there is nothing wrong with the bass being more upfront and the main driver of the song, so that will require a sound which in isolation will sound more pleasing. Subtle differences depending on the band, take Glenn Hughes, playing with Joe Bonamassa he will sound different with Black country communion compared to Deep Purple. Look at Muzz Skillings compared to Doug Wimbish In Living Colour and how they differ, and that is with the same guitarist. Muzz is in the Vivid and Times up albums. Its all about balance, and I won’t mention you don’t need to crank the distortion on it, because you’ll probably say it’s a dirt pedal and that’s what you are supposed to do with it, it’s the primary function.....

visog Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Man! Just heard this in action in a couple of vids.... It sounds cavernous!!! How much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 @visog Approx £270 when it comes, but if you join the brigade here our man at FX pedals may get us a bulky discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Add me to your list please @tonyxtiger - might also be interested in renting the Geddy pre to try alongside it if that will still be an option! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyxtiger Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Will do @dannybuoy I’ll contact everyone mid March to see where we are with numbers/discounts as they are expected early April. Exciting.... Rentals are not currently an option as Ive taken the site down for now. Trying to organise a deal to bring more product availability for rentals then relaunch bigger/better. Probably won’t be up and running by April but who knows... watch this space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 bit of demo and chat about the pedal, but wise words in general from the big man 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 @tonyxtiger I'll have one. Perfect birthday prezzie for myself. I've been trying to mess about with guitar amp and bass amp rigs so this will make it easy. Good enough for dUg, more than adequate for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyxtiger Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) @Sean will do. Added you to the list. Edited March 5, 2018 by tonyxtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyxtiger Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hey all.... @Cuzzie @FacStudio @ShaunB @NancyJohnson @cetera @fretmeister @dannybuoy @Sean Aside from Tech21 claiming they are “shipping soon” I’ve had confirmation these are due in U.K. in April. Exciting news! with these numbers so far I would suggest we can knock our basschat price from £270 RRP down to £240 delivered to you. If more add to the list we can maybe do better. I’ll do the preorders at the end of the month so it’s nearer payday for everyone... if you could email me your details to [email protected] I’ll send you a PayPal invoice with my details. BOOM! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverinebass Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 @Tech21NYC I have a question. I was hoping that the manual would be out or that a video demo would address this. Is it possible to turn the unit on straight into mix mode or does it always default to the clean channel when you press the on switch even if you've turned it off in mix mode? Just curious.

Yes, the mix can be pre-armed so it activates in that mode. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) @tonyxtiger email received today and responded to. I’m very excited about this one. The only doubts I have @Tech21NYC is that when I had the (disappointing) Bass FlyRig the knobs kept coming off the pots. I hope these are better. BFG was also disappointing because of that OctaFuzz and a mediocre chorus. Everything else was very good. The Valeton Dapper Bass is disappointing too because of the crap tuner and luke warm amp section, pale next the Sansamp. VDB has a good Boss CE clone and a nice comp with a useable Octaver. The Bassballs clone it has is also too focused. I hope the T21 BFR Mk2 ticks all the boxes. sorry for the deviation. Looking forward to the dUg...

I still have April as the delivery date which is a large window so when I get more accurate dates I’ll update you all. the geddy 2112 pre came with a badge of geddys signature so what does the dUg pre include? A free 12 string? A free six pack? have to wait and see I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverinebass Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'm really excited about this. As someone who likes his dirt/grit/filth, this is going to be quality. Now of course, all of us have to do reviews when we get the beast. As many different basses as possible. Videos as well will be fun. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
