acidbass Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah, there was a discussion on this a few months ago about the onboard valve preamp - would love to hear how it sounds! Personally I'd just go down the outboard valve route, keep as much of the wood on the body as possible for tone reasons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 That looks horrid, and those knobs are really small (fnarr) which probably make them unusable. Then you've got the added fact of valve drawing power from a battery, and inside a bass, where it's going to have to be secured so it doens't come loose and you lose all sound. Novel concept, but not one that should have seen reality imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 It might be, but you cannot be insisting that a bass manufacturer would delve into poor taste and do a joke on April The 1st? Shirly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Got to love April fools Anyway, I’d have thought it would be a bit impractical to power a couple of 12AX7s from 9V batteries; would they last very long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 12Ax7s are abit impractical. There are plenty of other valve that would do the job at far less current draw. They used to be cheap and plentiful is probably why there are the standard preamp valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
