I took off work today so I can go see this band live. Should be sweet. They ripped it up last time.

just thought you all should know

oh god, I lol'd.

Funniest. Thing. I've. Seen. In. Ages.

Cheers, man.

holy ****, i haven't laughed that hard at something in a LONG time.

thanks for that.

It was funnier in the YL,YL thread. The bass forum seems to make things less funny.

I feel like I'm asking the unthinkable here, but: are there any amps that I could use for BOTH guitar and bass and have success for both?

Omar from TMV uses a bass amp live...That's about all the knowledge I have on that subject.

You'd probably just need a different cabinet if you found a head that you liked for both.

I've been looking at smaller amps, like that Orange Tiny Terror and the Vox something I can't remember. And I thought, hmm... it's small, it's gonna be burning away, hmm.

You'll have more success running a guitar through a bass amp than vice versa. So I'd suggest looking into a tube-driven bass head. Probably paired with some 10" drivers.

Only two more tracks left to record and then we just have vocals next week.

w00tness.

I've got my stereo compressor set up for my stage/recording rig. I use the left side to compress the signal once (lightly) through my effects loop and then I use the right side after the DI out. This way the sound guy can stop turning me down when I clip for all of 0.04 seconds and keeping me completely out of the mix on stage.

Now I just have to work on my pedal board. Gah.

My buddy has an amp that's meant for a keyboard I believe it was a peavey something or other. It had like 4 inputs and we would have bass and guitar going at the same time and it'd sound fine

since, ya know, keyboard has more range than both combined

food for thought?

Any head is fine. They might not all SOUND good, but they'll work. It's the cab you want to worry about. Use guitar through a bass cab, and you'll probably be fine, but use bass through a guitar cab, and the drivers can't cope with the low frequency. So use a bass cab.

So go for like [if I use Orange as an example] a Tiny Terror head but with a SP210 it's work?

No he doesn't.

I know someone who's used the Tiny Terror as a recording head for both bass and guitar. Don't know what cab he ran with it though. Have you also seen the new Bass Terror? I don't know how it handles guitar, but it might be alright. Also, I'd make sure to test the setup with a guitar first to make sure you like the sound. Bass cabs aren't always that great on the distortion front, but in theory the SP210 should work. Make sure you don't get one with a tweeter, or at least with a defeatable one.

Thanks for all the advice dudes. I'm not a guitarist or bassist really, but my space is where our recording space will be so I figure it'd be good to have a permament rig here; might tempt me to play a lot more. Can't really justify two though. :D

The keyboard amp suggestion is a good one.

Ya it's one I'm considering closely. If I'm micing cabs for recording, is there going to be a huge difference in quality [considering I'll be running in-box EQ and effects] between valvestate and valve amps?

Depends on your taste. I've heard valve amps I hate, and solid state amps I love. But overall, nothing beats full on valve grind for me. Especially for guitar. Try a few out and see what you think.

I'll let you know how my new Blackstar guitar amp goes in a week or so once I've got it.

Lmfao sorry TMV fanboy #1. He USED to then jeezus get off Omar's dick.

No need to bounce off the handle. Did I hurt your feelings?

Sorry. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Do you accept my sincerest apologies?

hmm my LH500 came in today, ill get to try her out tomorrow @ band practice =D

Lol spiff I was being facetious towards your retarded "I've read everything on TMV wiki page so what Omar does live is down to me and me only" post. Now calm down and go moderate something. Oh. Wait. This is the bass forum.

Anybody know of a cheap full-range plate amp that can produce about 100W?

What I'm trying to do is build a mini-stack like the Acoustic 260, except for ~$200, but I want a graphic EQ. I figure the easiest thing to do would be to build one similar to it, but with an 8" eminence speaker, the EQ, and the plywood, I've only got about $70 left to spend on the plate amp.

lol

Don't really care, I'm not that nerdy about gear. I just know that he doesn't use bass amps live as I've seen them live pretty recently.


AND you missed my Futurama reference, so... you're just a mess right now.
