Show Off Your Rigs: Rebirth

VOLVO))) · July 22, 2012, 09:44:39 AM

I feel like a little girl in comparison to you guys...

khoomeizhi · July 22, 2012, 12:50:00 PM

don't worry, lots of people like little girls.

My rig just feels so boring these days...maybe I need to shake things up. Speaking of which I caught the Melvin's Lite the other night and it was interesting to see Buzz change things up. Anybody know what amp this is? I've seen him use a little solid state amp in some of the YouTube videos but this appeared to be tubed.

I think it is a custom emperor head.

That's what I was thinking. There were making amps (Hiwatt based???) last time I went to their website.

You've done well for yourself Señor Summit. Does that mustang modeling combo still haunt your dreams?

What's the deal with that rad looking 2 x 12"? Built in road case or some such? Me likey.

theres a velcro/metal strip to put grillcloth

Nice score!

MichaelZodiac · July 25, 2012, 01:31:12 PM

This is sans the Acoustic 220 & a still to be determined cab. Also coming in the next few weeks are a few new pedals.

moose23 · July 25, 2012, 02:58:36 PM

Did you pick up the T40 is Europe? How much?

MichaelZodiac · July 25, 2012, 03:41:32 PM

Bought it last summer on Ebay, it was about 350 euros including shipping from the States. Customs charged me an extra 50 for importing it, still cheaper than buying a new MIA Bass from any kind of brand.
That amp takes pedals like fucking champ btw. The reverb works and sounds great in combination with my Bassballs. Shaking walls with both MV en Channel Volume around 5.

moose23 · July 25, 2012, 03:47:33 PM

Cool gonna have to get one before some time.

I love it! PA cabs like those are great for giging. Easy to move around and sound pretty damn hi-fi as well. I got a couple sunn cabs like that, that I'm giging now.

They have a bunch of stuff based off of different things. T's, Bassman/JTM, 800's,And I think a Ampeg style too. All that I have heard sounded really good and the build quality is really evolving into a great package. It's likely a prototype, Sean told me that he wanted to make sure they are 100% bulletproof and badass before they sell one.

dunwichamps · July 26, 2012, 03:17:29 PM

coming out with a line takes time even if they are based on classic designs. Its also i think just 1 guy building there so shit, you know look at me i can do only 1 every 2-3 months so just keep that for perspective.

The Riffer · July 26, 2012, 03:23:01 PM

Your stuff was neat and badass right off the bat, they are growing into that. Their stuff is getting the road treatment and being thrashed before they sell one.I know they are trying to take the designs and beef them up and make them bulletproof road warriors. Not near the amount of innovation as Dunwich, but a less is more type of approach.

I have heard from some folks who had used their proto gear that it was solid. I think Will in Indian has a 200W coming his way. Certainly takes some time to get familar with wiring/layout and shit. One thing about building is that there isnt a great resource to learn how to build unless your someone with a long building background from other industries. A lot of experimentation to figure shit out, even Dunwich is a work in that, each build learning a little bit about what works and what doesnt.

The Riffer · July 26, 2012, 03:36:39 PM

I believe that Will used the "T" ish amp an the "800" ish amp. The last few I saw were getting it really tight. Looking very good.

yea that is correct, he was talking to me about a 200W V4 clone 2. Seems he is debating stuff.

thestone · July 29, 2012, 09:58:16 PM

From CT if anyones interested in jams sometime

seen them twice on that tour! they sounded amazing... A stand up bass through an Emperor 2x15 too.. insane.

New cab day! Ended up with a pair of Eminence Wizards (G12H30 style speaker) in a trade, so I ordered a 2x12 from Sour Mash. Custom made with any option for only $280 (incl shipping). At that price I was leery, but it's a really great solid cabinet. Highly recommended.
