UTILIZATION

It is difficult to find more simple. Here there is no misery seek with 4700 switches, knobs useless but a willingness to plug & play, the vintage way. This does not preclude shape his sound at will.

SOUNDS

I play in groups of pop and rock, but requires professional I have to be versatile. It's been quite a few years I turn undergoing the vagaries of backline halls and festivals but it allowed me to test almost everything that is done in low amplification. It has often made me moan because of things that sound not, and fortunately occasionally made happy by the presence of a vintage svt, svtII, a sunn, a HIWATT and plenty of other fun stacks lamp.

And my fond memories of v4b, HIWATT 100 and 100 bassman directed me to a 100w head to enjoy an amp used in good yield. Upon reflection, consultation forums, opinions and advice of friends and observation conditions of manufacture of most of the major brands it seemed obvious to turn to Chillbass. Because it is not yucky to have the opportunity to have custom handmade gear.

I enjoyed 2 weeks scenic residence and 3 concerts with erevan tusk to have a real opinion, because it is necessary to test the material situation. In the case group, and interference from a front. I now use with: my PB japan 80s, my JB U.S. mounted flat nets, and my thunderbird. Connected to a Chillbass 2x15, 2x12 Chillbass, SVT 410HLF svt 610 and svt 810 (not all at the same time, obviously).

Whatever the config, and fingers or pick I always feel like a terrible grain, dynamic and a huge margin volume. And instantly take me to Herbie Flowers, Paul Jackson, Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones and Nick Oliveri (less good as they of course ^ ^). It is possible to make cruncher with good hearing protection ....
