It’s back from the dead! The TB Mega Thread.

I've got an active and two passive basses and all 3 definitely have a punch-you-in-the-dick sound. The active has a switch to go passive if the battery runs out or I want to play a stupid old fuzz. The only slight pain is the difference in signal levels, so I kinda use my compressor as a signal booster. I just crank up the output gain like a 45 degree turn on the comp when I switch to one of the passive basses, and the signal levels match pretty closely.

As far as everything else, like number of strings, or when-gay

hee. but i'm a git about that TOO.

RUSTY BOX INTO POWERAMP INTO AGGY 12'S FOR LIFE.

What power amp do you use? Do you run in stereo?

also, how does the rusty box boost compare to the mininini for the ballsy gritty but not quite fuzz sound?

[Jwar]

I mean honestly Ben your thought process is the best to have though. Too much thought is put into stupid crap like the woods. I mean seriously, who cares? It's been proven time and time again that the difference are so subtle that it's not distinguishable by the human ear. But you bet your ass there's a guy that own 9 instruments with different woods that will tell you different. COUGH Excane COUGH lol. hahahaha

I don't know the woods on my instrument either? Except the neck in wenge which is pronounced when gay. Which is funny.

Sheldon told me he fucking hates working with when gay but people love it so much. He said it's shit and doesn't make the build process easy.

I hate odd numbers so just sell me yours.

In exchange, I will promote when-gay as the new choice wood on all MTD instruments AND I'll send you a rocktron boost pedal.

How about a counter trade. Your Wal for my MTD?

That sound basically even to me???

hahaha

[D.o.S.]

I will trade both of you those basses for some mojo toanwoods harvested from darkest Africa by my trusty team of turn-of-the-century explorers and imperialist conquerors.

And then I will give Jwar back the MTD.

that super light Peavey series? i forget the model number. used QSC's for years, but man. same wattage, and it weighs like 4 lbs compared to 25 ot whatever ridiculous thing the biggers are.

sorrrrrta rub stereo? it's a two channel, 500 watts per side thingie. but one channel is main pedalboard into a paor of 12's, other side is second pedalboard into a pair of 12's. have a footswitchable splitter so i can play different toans at the same time. USEFUL.

urrrrrrrr yeah? the Rusty gets GRINDY angry. but i use it as a preamp and the boost switch gets too much louder so i use a B3k as an od.

See I liked the Rusty Box but couldn't get past the noise it made with my rig. I tried it with passive and active basses too. Solid state and tube. It drove me fucking nuts! I think it has to do with the power requirements honestly. I mean 32v? Seriously? LOL Speaking of that....where the fuck is Haki??? I don't know why that made me think of him.


Oh and I have to say I'm a moody bitch right now guys. UGH. I hate myself for it. I have a bodybuilding show in 12 weeks and I've dropped 25 lbs so far (in like 10 weeks) and have more to drop. I'm like 8% body fat and weigh 200lbs. So my body is freaking the fuck out. Super high metabolism and hangry emotions all the time!!! I thought about staying off the web in the meantime, but my addiction to you guys is too strong.

I suggest you get to the nearest Men's bathroom at a truckstop to see if you can get rid of some of your energy. Then come back when you are all chilled out and drained.

well ok...

[nad]

Give me my tonewoods and tubes, and keep yer damn active preamps and tweeters off my lawn!

[behndy]

ugh. yeah. FUCK tweeters.

[D.o.S.]

Lets be real here. No one likes tweeters.

[Deltaphoenix]

I was going to say, wouldn't anyone that uses fuzz say FUCK TWEETERS.

[behndy]

just disconnected all of mines. the Aggy's i use have these fucking HORRIBLE tweeters. i've bumped the volume for them on when moving cabs then spent like 20 minutes checking cables and pedal settings before i remember to check that because everything sounds like an ear raping squeal fest pig fuck scrum.

like...... in a bad way.
