What's the Blue one
First for how the fuck do i play jazz improv.
Going into more detail, I went over my friends place who's been playing guitar for like 10 years, he can't play for shit and is really bad, but he played sax in school for ages and we both played to a jazzy backing track and his sounded like jazz wankery, albeit he fucked up so many times, but mine sounded kind of boring. He said I should get used to wierd time signatures and combinations of them, ect.

>>63623422
>for what purpose?
It's all the power and main cables coming out of the pedalboard. Are you asking what are they for?
>>63623423
DRRi. Looking to replace some tubes and maybe the speaker in the future, but in general I really like it and it takes pedals really well.
Pic related is what I recently added to the board. Damn fine Phaser.
>>63623530
Please, tell me you didn't run AC mains power in a bundle with line level signals.
>>63623530
Why the fuck are the ties in a big bunch going through that hole instead of along the floor, get a power supply.
>>63623530
Thanks, are you able to play it at comfortable levels during practice/at home?
>>63623513
No it doesn't, don't be lewd.
>>63623655
sorry but im not gay but it does probly on purpose too
>>63623712
I can't believe someone would do that.
>>63623205
Uh...Beavis huh huh huh
>>63623564
A single line level signal, yes, I did. And before you shout out the whole noise/electrical interference routine, I ran tests looking for noise by isolating the line level, it makes no difference whatsoever in my situation. My setup is incredibly silent and the Decimator G-String II is there for anything else.
>>63623566
Not enough space to go around the cabinet.
>get a power supply
I have two, thanks.
>>63623625
I do, actually. The character of the amp definitely changes at higher volumes and when it's high enough to get that little power amp saturation it sounds incredible but raising the volume also has its negatives. It's a character of the DR to get boomy with these speakers when you raise volume. That can be an issue and ti's why a lot of people run them with the Bass knob at near zero.
Still, yeah, sounds great at very low volume. It's my fourth tube amp in 3 years but the one I intend to keep. There's a reason they're so popular, I just wish Fender didn't put shitty tubes in them and made a better choice of speaker.
I've got two good overdrives, a delay, a nice reverb and a looper. Obviously I'm missing modulation but I realized only want one.
So tremolo, phaser or chorus?
I actually bought a flanger once and returned it because not for me.
>>63623814
>isolating the line level
what does that even mean
>>63623816
>So tremolo, phaser or chorus?
These are so drastically different effects that you might want to consider what your preferences are first.
>>63623816
Are you asking us which pedal you like best? I don't know. Maybe you know? Try asking yourself.
>>63623814
>I have two, thanks.
Then why all the wires?
>>63623842
Not letting it be in contact or proximity with any power cable.
>>63623814
What do you mean by the shitty tubes? You had to replace them upon purchase?
Asking as I'm seriously considering buying one.
Also, post more pictures of it with size comparisons if you can. :)
>>63623312
Listen to a LOT of jazz beforehand. I recommend anything by Pat Martino, Bobby Broom, Wes Montgomery, and Jimmy Bruno. You need to like the way jazz sounds and internalize how the melody and chords shift. It'll help in the development of your own melodic sensibilities.
>>63623814
However much you claim it's not noisy, that design is inherently more noisy than keeping the AC and signal cables apart. AC and signal lines running parallel to each other guarantees noise breakthrough. Relying on a noise suppressor once the noise is in the system is nowhere near as good as keeping the noise out in the first place.
>>63623848
>>63623856
Fair points. I'm asking what is the fav of the three for everyone here.
I like all three but am leaning towards buying just one cuz I need to curb my gear spending and I'm building a custom board and amp stand and I want the board to slide under the amp stand.
>>63623858
Two wires for each power supply, one for the Echotone which has an internal dedicated power supply, one for the footswitch and one is the pedal output > amp input cable. So yeah, 5 cables in total.
Nothing I can do if I want to keep each pedal with a single dedicated and isolated power, which I do.
>>63623868
Fender uses those Groove Tubes which is essentially just rebranded russian tubes, some are EHX, some Sovtek and so on. Quality control isn't great and they're often mixed.
I bought my amp used (it was only about 1.5 years old with barely any use, though, so the tubes shouldn't be an issue) so I don't know how much of an issue they are new. I do however currently have two microphonic preamp tubes and one of the power tubes is dying (heavy blue glow, takes longer to warm/light up). It's the main criticism regarding modern Fender reissue amps. Not that big of a deal, though. I can replace them all for around $60.
Don't have many pics of my amp but here's another one.
>>63623918
I don't care how inherently noisy this design is. It either is noisy or isn't, I don't care how imperceptible and theoretical difference it would make otherwise. My setup isn't noisy this way so I don't bother to fix what isn't broken.
>>63623926
trem
>>63623977
thanks anon, really helpful
few more questions, are you able to compare it to the Super reverb if you've played it or know anything about it?
Point is, I'm trying to finalize on the amp I'm going to buy and its between those two now.
I read somewhere that people turn the bass to 0 on DRRi because it sounds bad, any comments?
>>63624271
>I read somewhere that people turn the bass to 0 on DRRi because it sounds bad, any comments?
Not that faggot, but I used put mine at about 2, there is no zero really, 1-10.

nice samefag. if I care'd what some 14 year old on /mu/ thought I'd actually go and learn violin
>>63624271
Fuck. I just closed the tab by mistake as I was about to post and lost my whole comment.
Anyway, people usually run the Bass on 0 (actually 1, it's the minimum marking) because the Deluxe Reverb tends to get boomy with the stock speaker as you turn up the volume. It's something to do with the way the circuit is designed. As you turn the volume up, the Bass also increases. Also, some say that on these amps, the EQ knobs are flat at 1 and you can only add to the frequencies, not remove, which explains why some people run the Bass so low.
Typically I run the Bass at around 3~5 in low volumes and 1~2 at high volumes. There are also more drastic mods you can do to change the way the Bass behaves if you'd like to go that route.
Haven't tried a Super Reverb but it should be quite different. It has 6L6 instead of 6V6s and should be quite brighter, just like the Twin. Some people complain about the Twin because too trebly so I'd imagine the Super Reverb also is. The Super Reverb should also be much louder at 45W and being a 4x10. Afraid I can't help you much past that other than by saying that the DRRi is already very loud on its own.

>>63624798
Didn't really understand your quote. Is this in reference that all these new tubes are made in the same factory in Russia? If so, I was already aware of that, though I'm pretty sure they're all made with different specs which is why they sound different.
Thanks for the tip on the TAD tubes, though. Will definitely consider them when I swap mine. I was thinking about going with some vintage NOS RCA ones but if the TADs are cheaper, they will probably be my choice.
>>63623875
That's actually a great idea, I know it sounds stupid but I actually never listen to jazz, (I mean, I kind of listen to some jazzy sounding things) I guess I'm stupid to think I could play jazz without actually know how jazz should sound

I don't like the idea of a boomy-bass since the bass on my practice amp right now is terribly annoying
I honestly want the Super Reverb more for shimmery cleans but as someone who plays in the bedroom most, I guess it would be too loud then.
22W should be enough to cut through a band practice anyways.

You're in a club and a Jazzmaster slaps your gf's ass. What do you do?
>>63625105
There's a reason why the Deluxe Reverb is one of the most famous and popular amps in guitar history. If it were that bad and big of an issue, people wouldn't use it. Some may like it, some may not, but it doesn't have a inherent design flaw. It's a very popular amp.
I'm just telling you why people run the bass so low and the potential problems with the current modern reissues so you can be advised. I have no regrets at all about the DRRi, it sounds amazing. Best cleans I've ever heard in my life.
>>63625098
Then buy a Les Paul or SG. JM single coils sound amazing when pushing a nice, fat OD.
>>63625177
>no trem
LAUGH IN HIS FACE
>>63624976
Different isn't bad anon. The original tubes weren't built to exacting sonic specifications. It's just hard to copy vintage stuff. You're not gonna sound worse by not sounding the same, only different.
I know you didn't really imply otherwise.
>>63625129
I wouldn't put it past a violin shill
>>63625190
Everyone plays Gibson for that sound, I want that sound from a JM, more distinctive look
>>63624976
Not him but I usually recommend production tubes for the power section. Mainly since they're consumables and there can be a huge price difference depending on the tubes you use.
For the preamp NOS stuff can be pretty good value though. A lot of guys love Mullard stuff but I almost always use Radiotrons in my gain stages now.

Yeah, I meant different from each other, not different from the previous vintage versions.
I currently have a pair of Tung-Sol 12AX7s that I absolutely love and were definitely a big improvement. I have no problem whatsoever with modern russian tubes, as long as I can get some general reference regarding the difference between the "brands".
>>63625250
I have found that different brands of power tubes don't have enough effect on the tone for me to really care about such minor details. The only reason I plan on replacing mine is because one is currently dying. I'll definitely stick to production tubes for the power section and won't even bother with the current rectifier tube, which is working fine.
I agree with you about the NOS preamp tubes. The only reason I may go with the TAD the other anon mentioned or other current production ones is because I'm scared as fuck of getting ripped off by some shady eBay dealing on some fucked up NOS tubes that will die in a month.

It's just what I read. There are people making reviews of all the current production tubes and claiming they're made with different specs and sound different.
They could be wrong and it could all be due to production tolerances, though.
>>63625296
Don't have to be so blunt about it.
>>63625335

and thanks, the curly cable is quite nice.
also to add to the discussion of tube, I was thinking of replacing the stock tubes in my VB-2 (ruby tube, heard they aren't very good). I was recommended JJ's for the preamp & power section. Anybody like using JJ's, any other recommendations?

not him but there's a reason showing off is frowned upon. To some degree you're shoring yourself up and putting other people down when you compare yourself.
Honestly I don't really think it's a big deal, no need to stifle your conversation by avoiding talking about what gear you have. It's all a matter of vanity anyway. I don't think people are vain enough to be annoyed by gear photos. Though posing them does push the envelope a bit.

I have a ton of Rubys. They're hit and miss. If I had paid full price for all of them I would consider them not good. Since they were cheaper than dirt and I can sort through and test them, it's no worries.

Switching to using the Sunburst bass live for a bit, has a better midrange to it, band seems to agree it sounds not better but different, so doing it to change things up. Also got a Boss TU3 going again, I didn't believe in the idea of needing a buffer for years but I did A/B it and there is a bit of top end missing that the Boss seems to fix in a band mix for some reason

Hey (former) RickBro, Got bored of the aguilar sound after 2 years between the TH500 and the AG500, decided it was time for a change back to good old tube amps. Picked up the VB2 for $500 on craigs, not bad considering its only a year old next month, probably one of the last VB2's made before Peavey retired them.

My problem is I tend to set my bias to around 42mA so I chew through tubes. NOS KT-77s are stupid expensive.
I tend to stick to JJs for production stuff.
>The only reason I may go with the TAD the other anon mentioned or other current production ones is because I'm scared as fuck of getting ripped off by some shady eBay dealing on some fucked up NOS tubes that will die in a month.
Go down to a local radio station and see what they have laying around from old transmitters. I source all my preamp tubes that way.

Yeah, The gk is nice, on loan from a friend of mine. I would def consider getting one of the old RB amps as a backup for the peavey in the near future. I kinda like Peavey amps, there were the amps I started with as a bass player, had a Mark VI head and a 2x15 a long while ago, served me very well the time i had it. pic related.

Thats why I'm considering replacing them. I feel they're holding back the true potential amp the VB2. Its not a terrible sound with the Rubys, but there is def room for improvement. JJ's are on the top of my list. A sextet of JJ EL34L's for the power section. Read online they handle lows and mids quite well, which i assume would be good in a bass amp.

>>63625858
>>63625785
Nice Rig, pretty similar to what I would use if I was a guitarist, though I'd probably run a Twin reverb instead of a Vox
Have you ever heard the Velvet Fuzz? Theres a fuzz that slays, though a Hoof is still pretty good sounding
>>63625803
JJs are doing fine in my Amp, although I have a NOS GE 12AU7 for the splitter.
TAD tubes are sounding great in the power section - much better than the shitty chink tubes it came with.

What a shame. Tried any old radio technicians?

>EL34s
Tried KT-77s?
>>63626009
I mainly use JJs because I gravitate towards KT style tubes, which are crazy expensive for NOS examples.
>>63626246
I read from the talkbass forums that some people tried the KT77's with the VB2, said it wasn't very good. I think the EL34L's are my best bet
Is having an effects loop on your amp important if you plan to push a lot of pedals?
I'm out lads, hope your mellows are unharshed.

I think so. You don't want to just sound like a lo-fi recording.

>EL34L
Do you mean an E34L? When it comes to tubes and what not you really shouldn't pay much attention to forums, a lot of idiots.
KT-77s have a bit more low end than EL34s and a more hi-fi quality.
I tend to prefer MOSFET poweramps for bass so hi-fi tubes are a midpoint for me.

You're being stupid. You should be running the drums through distortion.
>>63626657
Like an actual TR-909? Or a sample pack/VST.
>>63626528
It's stupidly overengineered, but you can stick almost any tube in it and generally sounds amazing

>>63626978
Couldn't you just load any samples into the sequencer? Just grab a Vengeance sample pack or something.
Then double everything up and run really hard compression on one of the tracks.

Okay /gg/, if you maybe played in a prog rock band and wanted an epic jam that most - if not all - of your audience would know the lyrics to as a set closer, what would you pick?
The obvious choices would be Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway, so I'm precluding those from judgement. I would like to get around to BR once my keyboard skills improve a bit, but for now I'm a few months off.
>>63627273
It's /gg/ man
>>63628587
queen is prog rock?
well anyway you can always use your own song. In my experience the best kind of song to get the audience to sing along with is a call and answer type song. Basically you get the audience to sing along with the backup vocals. It's best if the backup vocals are either repeating the same thing over and over, or if they're just immediately repeating the lead vocal. The advantage of this is the lead singer can encourage the crowd without any chance of an awkward silence.
>>63628707
It's not so much that Queen is a prog band, more so that their music is fairly technical and theatrical, and a tune that moves through sections and styles like Rhapsody wouldn't be out of place.
And I totally agree with your suggestion, and as soon as we get something recorded in decent quality with lyrics posted, we'll probably do something just like that.
Right now we do a cover of "The Crowing" by Coheed & Cambria, which is a pretty grandiose song, so maybe that's fine. I've been listening to more classic prog lately (70s era) so I was looking for something along those lines.
Hey /gg/ I just got a new guitar and I'm looking for a solid amp to replace my 15 watt Spider Line 6. The cleans on it are fucking awful and the distortion sounds like a toy. 200-400 range. Ideas?
>>63628779
Why a solid state? There are some pretty decent tube amps to be had in that price range, even decent-er if you buy used.
>>63628834
It doesnt have to be solid state. I never said that. I just want some good recommendations for something to replace my shitter amp. What tube amps would work?
>>63628587
Uriah Heep - Gypsy
>>63628779
There are tons of great used amps in this range.
>>63628351
I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

>>63628890
My bad, misread your post. IMO, any tube amp is going to kick the Line6's ass.
So, in that range (and in order of tone quality):
Kustom Defender (5 watt head) - can be purchased for around $100, frees up some of your budget for pedals and a nice cab.
Blackheart Little Giant (5w) - really solidly-built tube amp, nice cleans, breaks up really nicely for an overdriven sound.
Blackstar HT Series HT-5R - almost bought this one myself, definitely will need to buy used if you want to stay in your range but this is really a next-level amp up from the other two. You could do small gigs and record with this one, and its natural gain is fantastic. (In fact, pretty much all Blackstar amps break up really nicely.)
Fender Blues Jr. 15W - probably the best amp in this price range that you'll be able to buy used for clean tones. The clean tones on these bad boys vs. the cleans on the Line6 are like the difference between a meal personally prepared for you by Grant Achatz and a pile of shit. The extra headroom makes them great for doing bigger venues, and they're amazing amps for jazz.
Egnater Rebel 20 - my personal recommendation, I got mine for $315 used off eBay (head only) but you can probably find them for even less if you look carefully. Use the extra cash for a cabinet. These are amazingly versatile amps, and I use mine for everything from jazz to rock to metal. They respond very well to pedals, too. I would say they have a bit more modern-sounding, compressed gain when overdriven than, say, a Marshall, so just bear that in mind, but most people won't notice or care.
>>63629186
Tom Sawyer maybe. Was thinking some Rush would be nice.
>>63629095
yup
look for one used though. Market should be choked. FX are nothing special but the base tones are good.
If you're just playing by yourself you don't need such a big one. Might as well get the smallest one they have unless you're playing with drums.
>>63625200

even if a song as well known you won't get people to sing along unless it's the right kind.

Are you willing to drive down LA?
Looking to buy a 3 single coil guitar, should I go for an American Strat or a Mexican one? I really need 22 frets and a good bridge.
Or Carvin Bolt? Or the new Ibanez Talman?
>>63630135
the music man sub one is pretty good. If you're not opposed to doing some work you've got even more options.
What do the based guitarists of /mu/ think of the Blues Jr.? Is there a better tube amp out there for someone who mostly plays rock/blues/jazz at small to medium sized bars?
>>63630135
>Or the new Ibanez Talman?
I dont like the new ones, the old ones are WAY better and cheaper online. Try one out though.
also go for an american strat, better quality. Never heard much about Carvin bolts though.

I liked the one I played for a bit. I think I'd prefer a Deluxe Reverb if I were to buy something along those lines though.

>>63630217
A Deluxe Reverb and a Blues Junior are way different in price.
You are still absolutely right though
>>63630135
The two point trem system is much better than the old one - not played a Talman or Carvin - I have a US Strat that is heaps better than the cheaper ones I tried.
Be patient and browse your local free classifieds and you can score a bargain
Make sure you play whatever guitar first, though - you can't pick a guitar through recommendations and youtube reviews.
>>63630236
Just buy more gear
>>63630244
It's not hugely different here. Blues Juniors are about $1400 and Deluxe Reverbs are $1800s or so.
I imagine Blues Juniors are cheaper literally anywhere else in the world though.
Anyone know what kind of volume I can expect from one of those old bigass Fender 212 cabs? I've been looking for a 215 or 412 but I found one of these for cheap, and the cab itself is roughly the size (if not bigger) than most 412s; wondering if it'll crank like I want it to or just be "ok" and be a bitch to haul around.
>>63630223
to each his own i guess, but you're wrong and I hate you. Honestly I think you just gotta dial it in right so you interact with the breakup. Obviously it can do as stuff that's just plain distorted but it's really nice if you're sitting near the edge.
>>63630281
ho.
ly.
shit.
>>63630236
Not playing with a band is the thing holding you back.
Find other people, jam, write songs, play in front of people - these are the things that help advance your playing.
>>63630049
It's very good an well made, I bought it with the intention of flipping it since I bought the last used one online and raise the price to $650 (they're $750 new but I have some upgrades in it)
It sounds good too it's like a Gretsch meets Gibson type of thing especially with the Models that are like the Gibson LPJr. It's like Gibson but better build quality
>>63630307
Yeah it's pretty ridiculous. There's reason a lot of people here play Peavey and Orange amps. Mesa and Soldano pricing is hilarious too.

One thing I don't get is that there are 'british' amps (more prominent mids ect), there are 'american' amps, but where the fuck are our 'aussie' amps, I want an Australian made full stack that can turn my guitar into a didgeridoo.
>>63630306
bruh the MG series is garbo at that price point. Let me list other combo amps at around that price spoint (~199) that are better
Yamaha THR5
Orange Micro Terror or Micro Dark + $50 cab (used if you want)
Look on craigslist in the area as well

>>63630422
We've got Woogie bass amps that are pretty mental. My DSL was modded by a guy who makes phenomenal tube hifi amps and that thing is ferocious now.
>>63630403
I wouldn't pay more than $450 for it. Sure it's got some cool parts but it's ultimately just a parts guitar that doesn't really have any value for anyone but the guy who built it.

It doesn't bother me that much though, my rig can get basically any sound I want.
>>63630729
you are the fuckin man
Am I correct to say that fender guitars don't have micro-leveled frets? They rely on the precision of the fret installation, right?

yea slo and other boutique stuff is probably more but i could also pay someone to make a really high quality clone for less so yea... nice rig though friend

Cloning SLOs properly is pretty expensive. The transformers they use are crazy expensive.
I had the sudden urge to look for one of these again after missing an opportunity to get one for $750 back in 2007.
Oh boy, to my joy I find that there's absolutely no one selling one used in the entire country. This is hands down one of the finest guitars I've ever played.
>>63630942
I can appreciate the originality but I think it's a bit ugly. Anyways, what's so good about it?
Has anyone here played a Gretch Falcon? How is it?
>>63631086
Perfect sustain. Fast as fuck neck with the most amazing action right out of the box. No need to replace the stock hardware- warm bridge pickup and a sharp neck pickup. Very lightweight, and versatile in various tunings (played it in standard, D standard, Drop C) just everything that is right about a good guitar.
>>63630655

Hit it with a Stratocaster or a Telecaster because they are infinitely more stable and solid guitars
