Two Notes Audio Engineering Le Bass

« I really dig it! »
Hi all, I’ve owned it since it came out. I played it live at La Cigale, an important venue in Paris. I play an active Fender Precision in genres close to Royal Blood, The Black Keys, Black Pistol Fire (even though they don’t have a bass player

Darkglass Electronics Microtubes B7K

« The ultimate overdrive-preamp »
Used with a Jazz Bass into a Chillbass 100's, alongside a Rat and Big Muff. I play post rock and other punchy styles. It's a very sturdy stompbox, no battery. Very efficient and versatile settings. It's possible to get a good OD out of it, but I

Ampeg SVT-DI

moosers's review
The Ampeg SVT-DI is a vacuum tube based direct injection box, designed for use in the studio. Like all DI boxes, it can of course be used in a live setting if you so choose, but as far as the SVT-DI goes I'd recommend only using it in the studio sin

Sonicake Bass Preamp Factory

« Solid Sounding Sculpting Tool »
The Sonicake Bass Preamp Factory is spot-on for bassists. The price is fantastic ($79.99 USD or less), and you get a lot under the aluminum chassis. There’s plenty of headroom, particularly if you engage the Drive (usually my volume never exceeds 10-

Orange The Bass Butler

« From deep and mellow to punchy metal »
There are some well-received bass pedals and preamps on the market, and the Bass Butler by Orange ranks toward the top – and for good reason. If you want your bass tone to flourish, and particularly if you want that punch (necessary for rock and meta

EBS EBS-1 Classic

« EBS Classic Mediums »
EBS has been making high quality bass gear out of Sweden. Most recently they came out with their own line of strings. I was lucky enough to get a set to try out. I was able to get a set a few months back before they were available to the public as

Hartke VXL Bass Attack

« Hartke VXL Bass Attack Pedal »
The Hartke VXL pedal is black, probably the size of two Boss sized pedals side by side. I need a DI box and a distortion pedal and this is both of those things in one. I bought it brand new at my local music shop for $89.00 <a href="http://gui

Radial Engineering Bassbone

History: I've played bass professionally for 44 years and a couple of my bands released 45s when that's what bands did, but none was a hit. I currently play in a praise band in a local church and also do studio work. I favor rock but have played just

Ampeg SVP-CL

« Ampeg SVPCL »
I've played for approximately 30 years, gigging for about 12 of those (including my current band). My roots are in blues rock, blues, and 70's fusion & R/B. I got it from BAss Central, new. I got it for about $450, if I remember correctly. Althou

Used $200 US This pre amp has a lot of features that I like. You can get almost any tone or sound you could want, I love the drive on it, you can add all the juicy tube harmonics you want. I like the 9 band graph too, the normal bass control is se

BBE BMAX

« BBE BMAX Bass Preamplifier »
I purchased this unit from USSpeaker.com and paid $349.00 no tax and shipping was $18.00. US Speaker is a great place to do business, they realized I lived close to the BBE corp HQ so they had the unit shipped from BBE to me and saved about 5 days t
