Black Friday with The Nasty Habits

TBird1958 · November 27, 2011, 01:51:27 PM

Some Black Friday fun with The Nasty Habits at The Funhouse, Seattle's oldest, best Punk bar.
I'm lovin' my Lull Thunderbird lots lately, tho I wish Uwe's new RD had shown up in time to use for our encore.....................I never, ever thought I'd play this song!

And still an old fave of mine, The Cult's "She sells Sanctuary"

Mark That Lull sounds great ! What amp are you using ? Sounds like you've got a pretty good stage volume!

Hey Scott, the Lull is awesome, single pickup 'Birds are the s#%*! The signal chain is bass>Line6 basspod live (Acoustic 360 model) >GK 1001RBII>2 SBX4x10 cabs, I did have the volume up to about 10:30, they like it loud at The Funhouse - I love a sweaty dive bar show!

Mark, you and your band just tear it up. Dang.

Very cool. Digging it.

Great! Nice:)

I always play my '76 Bird with the neck pickup only.

MArk - what do you think of the line 6??? does it really deliver the goods. i have found most digital amps are too compressy in their attempts ...

I like mine very much, I'm currently using the Acoustic 360 model copied and repasted for each of my basses, which means I can tweak each bass for individual parametric eq, compression, volume etc. So for example two basses with very different output like a Greco TBII and a '76 Gibson can be given their own customized preset. It has a lot of models, I really liked both of the Hi Watts and the Ampeg as well. The GK isn't colorless but doesn't hurt the tone either. I think the trick with it is too take the basic factory preset ( which is likely set up to sound good in a bedroom/ showroom setting) and reset it to your own tastes - for me, it was a steep learning curve at first, I had help from our guitarist on what to attempt with my tone, the kind of frowny face eq.
For those of us that want to gig lots of different basses I highly reccomend it, you can even bypass the models and just eq straight into your amp.
It gets a big

thats what i was thinking. i gig with about a 25 bass rotation and i wont even discuss my recent amp odyssey again. also lots of cabs depending on gig.... doesn't easily make my sound consistent but i love my toys....
