Members Guttermouth Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 i got a hiwatt custom 100 this week and thought i'd blow my eardrums up with it today. (my neighbors HAVE to love me ) anyway, remus asked about the ripper through a cranked amp so here it is: http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=5948508&q=hi you'll have to excuse the various rattles /noises etc... the hiwatt was rattling the house. the chain is ripper> hiwatt>avatar212> sm57 ( transformer removed).i figure if it's good enough for entwistle.........

Members Guttermouth Posted November 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 is the sm57 a mic? yeahits made by shure and is a pretty good all purpose mic stock but, the transformers they put in them drops alot of lows from the diaphragm.you can pull the transformer and it becomes a really nice full frequency mic.

Excellent playing, fun listening, you have just sold the Ripper even more so to me i dunno man - there may be some kind of gibson bass stigma i just wasn't hipped to imo it's a freakin awesome bass.

Members REMUS Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 I think so too, there is alot of hate for Gibson out there. Hell wasn't there a thread on here a day or two ago IMHO this bass sits so neatly between P and Ric it's unreal, can't wait to get one and pretend I can play it as well as you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in sales and my territory is GA, TN AR, & LA. I expect (and am expected) to be in TN about once a month.

Members Guttermouth Posted November 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 so...just pull the transformer? How hard is this to do/undo? ummm well.... you kinda have to boil it shure fills the body with a bunch of glue to hold the transformer in. you cut the head unit and xlr connections and pull em, put the mic body in boiling water for about 10 minutes or so and dig it out. then you wire the head unit to the xlr connector and put the whole thing back together. you lose about 10 db in the process so it's not something you wanna do if you've got sissy pres but the mic is much rounder sounding and has a bit more bass content. i've got a graph around here somewhere.......
