    shall I sell my 2ch Dual Recto for an SVT4 Pro?

    Dude, get the SVT-VR! The closest thing to a vintage blueline you will find. If you can't afford that, get a used Trace Elliot V6, or failing that one of the other tube amps. SVT-4s are one of the worst Ampegs you can find. An Eden isn't in the same league sorry, I have one and the V6...

    Mesa triple recto preamp tubes (lasse, lolzgreg)

    My Recto got retubed with the JJ E34Ls also, the tech, who is an amp builder, claimed he got more power with them than the Mesa 6L6s. It lost a little bottom end, but made up for that with a great grindy midrange. I had no problems since with the JJs, alhough I've heard lots of unreliability...

    Suggestions for best S/PDIF/Coaxial cable

    What they said dude, it'll either work or it won't...no silver-coated directional snake oil here! Just get the cheapest 75 Ohm rca cable you can get, it'll work fine. :lol: (usually labelled video cable or cable tv here at electronics stores...I would almost bet if it's labelled spdif it'll...

    Suhr Iso Line-Out Box vs Marshall SE-100 (Line-out quality only)

    Hi guys, I'm pretty sold on the Ownhammer neb impulses, so I need to get my amps (Herbert/Recto/HD500) into my daw direct from the power amp. I already own the SE-100 from years ago, it works as a reactive load ok, but mostly I can run through cabs here anyway, except mainly late at night...so...

    Pod Hd 500 worth it?

    The Uber model on the HD500 is pretty badass...I don't use the cabs though, I run it into the power section of a Herbert into a Mesa Cab (500 output set to Power Amp Stack). I pretty much cloned my clean and crunch stage settings with the Twin and Park models, the Uber I like more than the...

    5-String Bass and Drop B

    I'd stick with the .135 for the B string (I prefer the feel of a .130 myself for a Warwick B). I love Ken Smith Rockmaster strings, they sound and feel good, last ages, and are cheap ($20)! You could go a 4 string set for the higher 4 strings, such as the SM-XL Slap Master-Extra Light, which is...

    left my Fireface800 on for a week

    I left mine on mostly for years...eventually it blew a power supply, although I can't say if that was a factor. Now I leave it on all the time in winter to heat the studio, and turn it off as much as I can in summer...it generates a lot of heat! Leaving it running while away in hot conditions...

    Next guitar?

    I have the Jim Root and it is by far my favourite axe. The neck pickup is an EMG 60 and it sounds like a fat strat pickup to me, I believe it was EMG's first pickup and made originally for Fender, which they knocked back eventually. Real solid tuning on it too. The mahogony body weighs more than...

    For the Drop B tuners, your wisdom please

    I used DR Tite Fit 12-56 for dropped B on a PRS form years no problem...half a step more, you might want to go up another gauge. You will definitely need the adjustable bridge if you don't have one installed already, Tone Pros makes one if you don't (iirc the maker).

    WTF: beating my head on the desk/slate trigger

    I had a similar problem on PC, rescanned Reaper etc...no show. I found out I had to install the latest iLok client software from their site. Did that, and it showed up. Not sure if it's related to your problem on the mac, but sharing anyway. Also, don't just rescan, try clear cache and...

    Cubase styled metronome in reaper

    I've complained about this a lot too, I use plenty of odd times. Hopefully it's coming in R4. What I do for now is turn off the metronome, and create a track up the top, then Insert-Click Source. (I actually prefer click source as it gives you more instant control over the volume and routing...

    Help me choose a new bass (2 options)

    Cheers man, I'm a long time lurker here actually, it's definitely an interesting community. :) You might want to keep tabs on the talkbass classifieds, usually it's over your price point, but there's the occasional secondhand budget model. I got my Deluxe off a dude on there (you can check...

    Help me choose a new bass (2 options)

    Out of those 2, I'd take the jazz knockoff. The limitations at that price will be the B string, and the pickups...you'll have to try them to be sure. If you're after that pick with grit sound, look for a Precision copy, or with the Precision pickup config...it rules for that particular...
