Test Equipment

DSC00647

Part of the goal of bassfuzz.com is to use a consistent set of tools and equipment while doing reviews, that said I’ve proven in the past that I can’t always stay put with my gear, so I’ll make sure and document everything I can. Construction of the playform started in April 2008:

Main Basses:

Former Basses:

DI:
Mixer:
  • Alesis Multimix Firewire 12
Mics:
Computer:
  • Apple iMac

Major Update: 10-2009:

  1. Heil PR40 added for doing mic  work on cabs
  2. Replaced amp with GK MB210
  3. Replaced CB Ball basses with Lakland DJ4 (Jazz Style) as bass for primary recording.
  4. Officially adding mic’d amp segments to all videos
  5. Officially adding the MTD Heir 5 to the website (I’ve been using it for awhile though)

Major Update 12-2008:

  1. The active J bass (CB Ball) will be the primary bass used in video recording.
  2. I’m eliminating the ‘odd’ basses from the default recordings.  Listening levels are extremely low, and frankly they are odd basses anyway and serve too narrow a function.
  3. The active J will now have samples from three positions, just like the passive P
  4. The ‘in the mix’ sample will be recorded with the J bass
All of this equipment was purchased new or used by me, and no promotional funding, discounts or endorsements were provided.  When these tools change, I’ll document it fully.
