What do you plug in your Terror Bass 500W?

Post by Pope Ratzinger » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:37 pm

A little Poll:

What for a bass do you plug in your TB500?
How do you like it?
Are you happy? How is it going to be in the future?

Well, I'll start answering myself: I use that Fender big Block precision Mexico bass.

Whole lotta gain into that mike, overloads the TB in a proper way. I gets the sound to by dynamically dirty, and not just loud like when I set an moder bass.

Love it!

Also use that passive cheap one: Eko

I'm waiting for some Di Marzio to make something again a litte punchier and less muddy.

Any other testimonies, brothers and sisters?

Seems nobody else actually uses a bass with their BT. Technically speaking.
(Seeing as this is the technical forum that is how we have to speak here! Thems the rules...)

Since I don't have a TB500 anymore, I don't technically plug anything into it (I don't know the guy who bought it well enough). I can only tell you that I used to plug a Squier P-Bass and a Yamaha 5-stringer into it. I'm not sure if that is technically applicable in this present-tense situation.

A 1984 Tokai Jazz that wears a pair of Wizard Pickups 'Hammers', & a Tokai Thunderbird. :)

Nice basses doomed. I like Tokais a lot! 8)

About the best sounding and playing Strat I've ever used was a Tokai, and there is a great Tokai 'P' bass used as the house bass at a good jam session I sometimes play. I would love a nice Tokai 'J'...

If I had a TB500 I'd be using these:
Fretless Aria MAB40 (my main bass).
Two Japanese Fender 'P' basses, '51 and '57 reissues.
Fender Deluxe Jazz Bass 24.
Fenix 'J'.
Danelectro 'Longhorn' reissue.

Thanks Andy, i love the old Jazz, the Thunderbird is ok but i find it harder to handle, & i must admit to fancying a G&L sometime (not that my playing justifies it mind) lol.

So far with the TB being my backup to the AD200B I've only used an LP bass:
