Members Guttermouth Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 i know, the thread title is ripe for parody..... anyway - used my ripper on a full recording for the first time. the intro is ripper>doom fuzz>kustom k150>avatar 212> peavey 520i the rest is ripper> modded bad monkey> diy tube pre. as usual i played all the instruments and actually built the guitar amp i'm using for the whole thing. feel free to check it out: http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=5934178&q=hi oh , and btw, the mix is probably crap as i've been sitting in a closed room with a fully cranked 50 watt amp.i'll go back and tweak on the mix in a couple of days when my ears recover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members REMUS Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 hate to be a bitch but I feel it sucks all your tone out of the bass and leaves your bass as just ambient noise until about 1.30 then it gets VERY interesting/sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Guttermouth Posted November 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I'm actually thinking about finding a ripper and trying to emulate this tone... they're killer basses.they've got a transformer in them so the tone switch on em does some crazy stuff,they're light and they play great. if you can find one- get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Onkel Bob Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I like that. Didn't you post a clip of a more clean recording of the Ripper though? You got me interested in how they sound and it's kinda hard to really hear I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got me interested in how they sound and it's kinda hard to really hear I feel. thanks dood. here's that clip of just the ripper that i posted when i got it : http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=5911030&q=hi i ran it into 2 signal paths. the right side is a kustom k150 miced up and the left is direct ( through the dual showman pre i built). i also run through all the tone switch settings as well. in the song i started this thread for, even the "clean" parts are running through a dimed modded bad monkey so it's fairly distorted and is not really a good gauge of how the bass sounds. but the clean clip above gives a pretty good indication, i think.

Hmm... I like it... but I'm not sure it's really what I want for myself... but then... I'm beginning to think that the sound I want to hear when I play is more dependant on amp than bass. Not saying that the bass makes no difference... But what I really need for the sound I want is a gritty tupe amp. Or SS if it sounds similar (can you say Kustom?)... A nice bass comes second. I do foresee gibby's entering my collection of basses though. And when I say collection then I'm rather exagerating. I have two. One of which I actually use. Unless you also count the upright. Do I make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you also count the upright.Do I make sense? oh yeah, completely. i can say that the ripper is WAAAY more versatile than the eb-0 and the general vibe i get from it is definitely precision-ish. i'll record you a clip tommorrow with the kustom cranked up and maybe that will give you a better idea. i'm in complete agreement with you about the bass being secondary. as long as the bass is decent i don't have a problem getting cool tones if the amp is right.i've also discovered recently that if the amp is flat enough i can dig it if i've got the modded bad monkey in front of it with the gain dimed. so you might also try to find a pedal that you dig to use if the amp isn't tubey enough.
