Hey Guys,
It's been a while since I've posted. But I saw on youtube today a few clips from the Snakes and Arrows Tour with Geddy playing a Rick! He is using it on A Passage to Bangkok, enjoy.

Hey Fellas,
Do any of guys use the Ampeg SVP Pro preamp in your rigs? Could you tell me your likes and dislikes? Thank you,
Brent

Nate,
I am a huge Rush/Geddy Lee fan as well. As far as I know the bridge surround was painted/finished after the Farewell to Kings tour. I have a bunch of pics where it is white.During the Hemispheres tour I believe it is black and blends in. But you can still see the screw holes.It may have been ...

Not at all Jacob,
You can get some serious distortion sounds with the Bpod Live. Distrotion pedals and amp overdrives there all in there if you are willing to tweak a bit. I bough my Bpod Live for $360 at www.rmcaudio.com

Hey Fellas!,
I thought I would voice some of my opinions on the BPod Live...
The modeling sounds very good of course! Better than the amp sims on the Boss GT6B I think The GT's models were very easy to overload.
The distortions are quite good , but I really liked that you could mix dry and ...

Hey John,
Yeah I hear ya about the editor. What a pain!
I'm also a little dissapointed because first I had the original bass pod and floorboard,then I bought the new bass pod xt with a floorboard all the time wondering when Line 6 would just integrate a floorboard with the kidney bean so you didn ...

Hey Guys,
After much deliberation, I picked up one of these
babies.So far so good. Jeff you really need to check one out. The Amp 360 is so much more "lifelike" than the original bass pod. I'll give you guys more info soon.

Hey it finally worked! Isn't technology wonderful?

Hey Fellas,
It's been a while I know.I'm trying again to post a picture of my Smurfette.Not bad after 2 years. My only mod was to apply the cavities with shielding paint.

Hi Fellas,
Just wondering if any of my "Rick Pals" would like to buy one of these units. I have two actually. I was thinking $550 a piece plus shipping so $565 in the USA. Let me know.
Brent

Let me know, I actually have 2 new Bass Pod XT Pro's that I'm looking to sell.I can definitely give my "Rick Brother's" a deal on both.
Brent

Damn Jeff!
What settings are you using on your pod?It sounds amazing! Seriously! I would love some hints.I'm using a Boss GT-6B so I'm sure I can "emulate" your sound, I hope! Also I can give you a sweet deal on a brand new Bass Pod XT Pro,if you are interested.
Mark I can't get the thread either ...

Well Fellas,
I went back to this superb unit. I found that the Bass Pod XT was thinning my sound out when using the distortion models.(The GT allows you to mix in the amount of distortion and direct sound)Not to mention the extra cost of a Line 6 foot controller. The effects seem to sound better to ...

Through an amp Jack.Try it with the cabinet modeling off as well.
Brent

There has been some interest in my tone making so I'll post my experimental Spocks Beard/Rush/Yes tone that I'm working on with my Bass POD XT.Like I said this is a work in progress...and I play with my fingers,I can't use a pick worth a ****...
