I had a bass compactor and sold it, I liked the compression, but I kept getting feedback when I used it.

Scott,

Email sent to you about the Digitech Bass driver.

I still have it Stephane, I sent you an email.

Yesterday, I went out and tried an Ampeg V4BH anniversary with a 610 SVT anniversary cabinet.

I was looking to get that overdriven Tone everyone is saying only Ampeg can give you. I found the amp to be really clean but man it sounded great !!!! So warm !!! Wow ! I could not get the overdriven Tone ala John Wetton per say but I was really impressed with the Ampeg. I know someday I will finally settle with the Ampeg SVT-Classic and a cabinet I know I know...

I use a Boss Distortion, guitar pedal. With proper EQ it works well for bass.

i just found out my haed can distort! it doesnt break up very well it acctually sounds like fuzz.... like the soviettes or old garage bands... whcih is good because im in an old school garage band! SCORE

chad, i use a digitech bass synth wah. i also have used the rp50 guitar distortion through an ampeg. i am still looking for that sound that glover had back in the 70`s. what we really is an overdriven 250 watt tube amp through some beatup old fender bottoms!

the bass sythn wah is fun when playing alone but i havent really found a use for it in the band setting same goes for the rp50. its probably just me. i like the saound of pure bass or should i say pure rickenbacker through an ampeg
