V8's bass rig (very W.I.P)

V8

This is what happened when I watched a rig rundown by Royalblood's bassist...

Bass amp (1x15 Roland Spirit 50w) gets the clean signal from the bass
Guitar amp (2x12 Lab Series 100w) gets the output from the GT-6B. The GT-6B is cranked up with a fuzzface sim and the synth sim (with frequency controlled by the exp pedal).

Immense sound...! Though I'm sure I can find a more suitable amp than the lab series. It's rather heavy and doesn't seem to like the bass or GT-6B.

Nice setup!
Are you going octave up on the guitar channel or just relying on the fuzz to thin it out?
I loved my Curbow,they're really great players, except for the fact that they don't sit on the knee well. If that's the old mighty mite pickup, I have a Bartolini upgrade you might be interested in.

Thanks Peter - is a bit of a fun having a guitar amp in the mix, can dial in some guitar-y driven tones, while keeping the lows (and attack) of the bass.

Havn't got a octave up...yet. The synth patch is rather aggressive (at least the bow wave form I'm using) and is rather overpowering. The GT-6B has a harmonist sim which can do a octave up, but it doesn't seem to be tracking well - I need to experiment with different overdrive + octave up combo (half the fun is figuring out the order of fx on the GT-6B).

Yip, that's a Mk1 Curbow (mighty mite)- well spotted! Sooooo you have a spare bartelloni pup...very interested! I almost bought another Curbow w/the bartelloni but the neck looked like a rollercoaster. I did a little reading about a swop - though I wasn't sure if I had to swop out the preamp as well?

I'll buy your curbow... then you don't need the rest ?

I've got a pickup and an NTMB918FL preamp that's set up for a Curbow- bought it for my old 5 string that I had to get rid of because of the neck/body bow issue. Let me dig it up when I get home and I'll PM you.

Thanks Peter! No rush, I'm running around the next week or two, but I'm definitely interested!

I'm getting my TV Jones EM1 rings soon.... So the M900 will be fitted with them filtertrons soon enough.
