Sunn rigs of doom

I was keepoing the drive dialed back and using 2 different overdrive pedals. Now I plug my bass into a tuner, and the tuner into the amp. The end."


Yeah, just got some time with the Beta Bass finally and man you weren't kidding, turning the drive up turns this thing into a monster. It takes pedals great too obviously but since it's not really meant to be fun flat it doesn't sound so great with my VT Bass pedal. Thats okay though as the VT sound stellar running into the "Power Amp In" jack on the back of my Concert Bass.

I think I'm gonna simplifiy my approach by about 1,000 and just buy a few pedals and maybe a looper instead of the amp switchers.

I posted the incomplete cab a while ago, but this is the best picture of it in action:
It'll get tolex and proper grill cloth soon enough.

Dude! Doesn't the Beta Bass just knock the Concert Bass' dong in the dirt? Such an underrated amplifier.

Oh, it def blows it out of the water. The ratings are completely bogus in comparison to eachother. I don't think I'll be pulling out the Concert Bass unless I'm playing in a really seedy bar or something, haha or until I run a dual rig setup.

With all this talk about the Beta Bass, might just trade in my Concert Bass for one...

[mike_sims]

Cool setup!

[Walt-Dogg]

Hey, hey! One of those was once mine! Looks good with your Ts

[stanner]

cool pix Mikey-i wanna hear you guys @ some point soon

[matto)))]

VERY NICE. ive been looking for a 2nd 412l for a while now, that full stack looks great

is that an old boss x-tortion pedal (red) i see on the ground?

[mike_sims]

Thanks for all the feedback & kind words dudes! I haven't been on here much, been extremely busy with these two projects I have at hand right now.

@ Walt: indeed man, that top one   Thanks again man!

@ Stan: the time is near my friend... We're looking for a venue as we speak I'll be contacting you when we figure out what's going on, the original plan fell through so we're thinking possibly the Stork Club or maybe somewhere in SF (which would kick ass for you!). We gotta see some pics of your setup! Stan's setup blows mine away, by far.

@Matt: Yeah the 412L's come and go. There was one point where I kept seeing them over and over again on ebay and craigslist for really good prices. Some guy nearby I think was selling an unloaded one for $50!!! It was promptly sold though. The pedal setup in that pic (from Right to Left): Tuner, modified RAT, modified Big Muff PI, Boss DM2 (OLD boss delay pedal), Way Huge Aqua Puss delay (yes, 2 delay pedals, I'll throw some live footage up when we create sonic mass with the stanosaur to show exactly why), Boss BF-2 Flanger, Dunlop Crybaby Wah (soon to hopefully be replaced by a Iron Parachute wah) and that's all going into my Morley A/B/Y box. In the process of getting a Phase Wizard from Gentry of Eagle Twin as I think Stan is too if he hasn't already. Also, stay tuned for more Model T's and possibly... an SG!?

Our drummer's setup is pretty ridiculous too (don't know if there's any drummers on here). All his Toms are basically the size of Floor toms   dude plays a weird style, it's like open handed/righty/lefty. It works for him though, super loud.
