Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I have a studio in my home so for STUDIO, anything and everything.
For LIVE(bass),

Hofner Beatle
Ric 4001S
Fender Jazz
and whatever bass I bring for the 3rd set
*
Yellow Submarine Bass Preamp
*
Ampeg Rocketbass 100(DIed to PA)

LIVE(electric sitar)

Jerry Jones Master Electric Sitar
*
Vox Pathfinder(miced to PA)

Both amps seen here:

Nice Ronn!

I should add that my home jamming setup is quite different; I usually don't bother with the pedal board at home, preferring to go straight into one of my amps (could be an AC 30, a Twin Rev or Super Rev), or else the AC 30 headphone amp.

Oh yeah, on Sundays(when The Eggmen aren't out of town) I play with my church's praise band and I use:

Either a Fender Jazz, Ibanez GSR 200, Peavey Millenium, Dee Murray's Steinberger, or Eastwood EEB-1. And sometimes my Dean electric upright.

SansAmp Bass Driver DI(to PA)

Marshall BS65 bass combo.

Nice setup Ronn, you've got just about all of the bases covered there

This is the pedalboard I use for gigs at the moment.

I run this into a 1968 Vox AC30 top boost. Boss DD6 - Ibinez Tube screamer - Vox Over The Top Boost - Janglebox - Boss TU3 tuner.

I use the DD6 mainly for it's reverse feature, but it also has a nice setting that makes my 6 string sound like a 12 string!
The tube screamer is for the full on overdrive, though I'm not totally happy with the sound.
The Vox Over The Top Boost is great for some lovely cruchy gain.
The Janglebox does what it says on the tin.
And the TU3 is a nice little tuner.

Bass goes ---> Gallien-Krueger 700RB-II and Neo 212-II cabinet using Speakon cable. Side chain loop is: Sansamp VT Bass ---> cheap phaser pedal ---> Boss Bass Chorus ---> Boss Digital Delay/Pitch Shifter ---> Alesis 3630 Compressor. Sometimes I add a fOXX fuzz/wah/volume before the compressor.

Here's my current

I just added a Universal Audio LA-610 to the front end of my bass/recording rig!

Looks like I'm the solid state odd man out: I play a 620 into a Dyna Comp, then a homemade BSIAB2 pedal, then a Roland Jazz Chorus. No one is jealous...

I recently picked up two mint condition pedals -- a Boss Acoustic Simulator pedal and a Turbo Tube Screamer on Craig's List.

Now my pedal board sequence is:

Eh....not quite, Daniel. I'm learning more and more about the solid state Kustom K200 "Frankenstein" amp and cab I have as time goes by.

Don't sell yourself short, that JC-120 is an industry standard staple for a reason. I love mine, and there isn't a finer stereo chorus out there that I've ever heard. Sure the on board distortion is pretty awful, but whose wasn't in those days? If you get a chance, the Radial Classic Overdrive is an awesome pedal to put in front of this amp, and the tube really warms things up in the distortion department.

Yeah, I am a bit overcritical of it at times, but it's definitely served me well through the years. I don't think I've ever used an amp less prone to breaking during travel, either, which is a big plus in my opinion. And the onboard distortion is SO bad that it has a weird character of its own... I've been trying to write stuff that sounds good despite it.
