New Gear Thread

[semioldfart]

Whats a solid price for a GK700rb-ii? Got it up for sale locally. Trying to figure out if I'm high or dealing with flippers.

I don't need another amp, but I want it.

Good thing I'm broke.

 

[semioldfart]

Yeah. Once upon a time I had decided that at some point you either need to stay home and noodle or play bass. I still do for fun but... its for fun. And to be totally honest I actually like the tone I was getting out of the HX Stomp+Headrush. Certainly enough that a guitar player who dabbles in bass can sell the pro rig he never needed but bought because well Marshall stacks still cost a fortune but you can buy awesome bass gear for solid prices.

Besides when this goes I can build my mini Marshall stack.

You can get some pretty cheap guitar gear too. Joyo makes nice little 20watt tube amp copies. They have a rectifier copy, a Peavey 5150 copy and pretty sure they got a Marshall. Cost me like 200$ Canadian so prolly like 120$ USD

 

[Sethdusith]

Joyo Bantamp Jackman it's called

 

[semioldfart]

Yeah i got plenty of the cheap stuff. But I'm saying not just pro gear but there are some classic icons that are more affordable for bass than guitar

 

[Sethdusith]

Tone is in the tone wood? Tone is in the fingers? The speaker? The tubes???

Naw, tone is in the stickers!! This is the secret how I get my wicked tones.

 

[semioldfart]

From the look of that setup I'd say tone is all in the amp, amiright?

Stickers! The fact I have a neural dsp nano cortex has nothing to do with! Nor does the Peavey ValveKing!

Not a lot anyway. As the Valveking has no stickers. The nano cortex has one so maybe it's helping

I was just cracking a joke about the expected gain levels

Same here about the stickers. When in reality the nano cortex gives me all my tone indiscriminately

Not sure where to post this, so I'll post here. I recently switched up the gauge of strings on my Squire Bass VI, and am now tuning it in Drop A (Bass octave) yet I use it like a guitar. Life is good. I can't be stopped, I'll tune lower and lower till I'm in octople Drop Z

 

[Sethdusith]

Just tuned my Jackson JS22-7 Dinky with a crazy new tuning.

It's a 7 string. 6 strings are in drop F which is low enough as it is. But the thickest string is tuned in C1, as in, same tuning as a drop C bass. I had to rig this crazy contraption to make it work

I dunno why I do these things lol.. But I love it

Hell yea brotha. I'm glad I'm not the only one who turns his instruments into sticker billboards. Looks like we both have some form of Mohawk too

And I love that bass. I never seen anything like it before

 

[Pilgrim]

I have one sticker on a bass...from my local auto parts store.

That's a pretty badass looking sticker

 

[Sethdusith]

Got a microphone, a mic stand and a... Spit catcher? I forgot what it's called. That little foam thing you put in front of the mic to mellow out the Ps and B's. All coming in Wednesday, along with Biggie Cheese's new kennel (I can give my sisters back to her now lol)

Not new, but been digging this shorty once I got it sorted out,
