This is maybe a little out of the ordinary, but in my experience lots of techie types (myself included) are either closet bassists, or play in bands regularly.
My first audio DIY project was a G1176 limiting amp. MNATs board etc...works a treat, almost perfect at the first powering up (wired the input pot backwards so had no threshold control until I worked it out). It sounds fantastic inserted in the FX loop of my bass combo (Ashdown MAG 250)....I cannot recommend this compressor enough for bassists.
Anyway, I completed my 1176 about 6 or 8 months ago and I'm now looking towards a new project for the new year.
I am in the mood for a nice big sounding bass preamp. I am gravitating towards the G9 with all it's tubey goodness and having an instrument input already there will be quite straightforward to incorporate into my rig.
Has anyone used or heard a G9 on bass guitar? What did you think?
I'm also open to suggestions towards other projects if anyone has any ideas for alternatives.
PS This is my first ever new topic on any forum anywhere, so be gentle please. I did have a look round to make sure I wasn't going over old ground, I didn't find anything, but I might not have been looking properly.
