Members I stink at bass Posted May 12, 2005 Members Share Posted May 12, 2005 Ok, I have an idea. How about a Song reference guide for us GBE600/1200 users? Takes some of your favorite songs, mark down the settings that you use when playing them, Then post them on a reference guide. That way other users can use it to dial in thier tone......................I came up with the idea, so someone who actually knows a little something about computers can set up a link. That would be :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MikeMess Posted May 12, 2005 Members Share Posted May 12, 2005 I think that's a great idea, but I don't play many cover songs... So, I can't contribute anything that would be useful to others. I'm interested in what others use though as different sounds inspire different songs within me.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a cover song. Someone could say, "when I am playing slap, this is how I set it up" or "when I am play metal, this is my setting". It would be interesting to see what the different perceptions of rock tone vs. funk tone vs. jazz tone, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, if they own a Genz Benz, they obviously have an ear for GOOD tone. So you made a valid point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Trace, the designers of Trace SS and Trace Tube were different people. Mark doesn't have that tube designer with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I stink at bass Posted May 15, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2005 Hey! I leave for two days, and my "Reference Guide Thread" turns into a Trace / all-tube thread. Anyway, I am 100% satisfied with Genz Benz gear. Remember, I owned a 1970 SVT, which was suppose to be the MOTHER of ALL tube amps. Wasn't impressed! Since then, I,ve tried an Orange, Mesa 400, and even the super $$$ Phil Jones T-500. I wasn't impressed by any of them. The GBE Series is the ONLY amp I've tried that can deliver all the tones I want, and run at 2ohms ALL DAY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
