Whatever you demo with THAT bass would sound terrific. That Fender Jazzz bass is one of the most beautiful examples of these models, the color, matching headstock and so on. The only not original thing is Guy Pratt replaced the original pickups with EMG in the early 80s. This bass was a gift from David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), btw and was used by Guy while touring with the band
Almost right, a DI is a direct out to a mixer/PA system vwhich sends the raw bass signal after the input gain (but in this amp and several others you can also include the EQ/compressor/other tone stuff in the DI signal or just have the raw bass sound)
Jenty, the D.I. (Direct.Input.) is to run the signal from the pre-amp section of the amp direct to the input on a mixer (front of house and monitor mixes). This built-in D.I. eleviates the need for a D.I. box (a small metal box with converts the signal direct from the bass into the mixing board. A built-in D.I. goes from the pre-amp of the amp to the board) tobbe used between the bass and amp.
DI = Direct Inject or Direct Input they mean the same thing, basically on the amp if you would plug your bass into this input you'll bypass all the EQ, all the compression all that type of stuff that shapes the tone. The DI bass input would bypass all of that and go straight into the power amp of your amp which has no EQ or Compression what so ever, Your tone will be flat. Anyone if i'm being stupid and i've told this guy the wrong thing can you please tell me :D
I'm new to bass so can someone please explain what the difference is in sound and volume between this one and the 15"? Could this one (12") be used for gigs? I'm looking for an amp that's not too loud for bedroom practice but loud enough for some small gigs. I've had a look at a Gallien Krueger MD115, which seemed pretty good for the price.
I had a 5 15 back in the day which I played an Epiphone Thunderbird through… 15 inch speaker was loud enough but I found it a little muddy… I went onto a MAG 300 4x10 combo and that was clear as a bell. I am now using a Rootmaster 420 head and RM 4x10 cab - which I LOVE ❤️ - it’s perfect for gigging! I’ve just picked up an Electric Blue 180 with a 12 inch speaker for practice (!) I much prefer the 10’s for clarity. All the very best! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
When using this at a gig i would like to connect it through the PA. How would i go about doing this, i'm not sure whether to be using the line out at the back or the DI on the front?
i have a ashdown 180 love it but don't open it up as i use it for jamin sessions with acoustic nights don't want to scare them away best thing i bought but still can't play well but hay ho lol

@yekshemesh4alig it is loud enough for small venues say a few hundred and if you wanna use it at home, just turn it down, still sounds great :)

dude, you are the man, good demo, and also love the SOAD display in the background haha

Guy pratt is number one!!!!! 👍🎵🎶😃
yeah it has an xlr so you can go to a sound board or mic it either way, its great for shows too bc the xlr
Hi, volume wise would this amp be able to keep up in a rehearsal room without going into distortion ?

Nice enough amp but a very quiet 180 watts, more like a 50 watt. That Jazz has active pups in it😎
How are we supposed to hear the sound of the speaker for real if they´re sending the line signal to the video?

Should I get this or A fender rumble 150?
is the sound we hear the mix of the DI output and the mic????
Did you just leave bright and deep buttons on during eq test as i can see.
is that shake your body by the jacksons he plays?
Thanks dude for the info
Does anybody know what mic that is?
How much did it cost back then?
did you get the free tuner free with he amp? if so how was it?
@beng1lh00ly sure is
what is the bass he's using?
Can you record with this amp?
@pumba28 Same :D
sounds like the guy from top gear
What's a DI ?
It means direct input
i have a ashdown 180 love it but don't open it up as i use it for jamin sessions with acoustic nights don't want to scare them away best thing i bought but still can't play well but hay ho lol
BETSY!!
