In my neverending quest for the perfect tone, I have tested many RIG configurations and cannot seem to find a good mix of equipment. I am currently putting together a rig for my Alembics. I use mostly Series I, and II basses. I would like to know what do you think are the best components to look for in putting together the best Rig. What do you have vs what would you like. | ||

The traditional end-of-the-world all Wickersham rig would be . . . Series power supply f2b or f1x preamp sf2 super filter ELF integrator serious power amp high pass cabs Elf subs Good cables ... after that, it's WIDE open. I can not think of a time when there's been more choices. SVTs are REALLY back. All the litlle toy-sized amps and cabinets that put out huge sound. Tube. Solid State. Hybrids. 21" subs. Digital Modeling. I guess it all depends on the usual suspects: Budget? The Tone You Seek? How Much Are You Willing to Tote Around? What Do You Need for Your Gigs? Good Luck ! J o e y | ||

I have found to my ear The F1X with SF2 in the effects loop coupled with a PLX3400 sounds the best. I'm using Spoilers 4-5-6&7, Excel 5's, an SC Deluxe 4, Distillate 5, Rouge 5, (13 Alembics in all) as well as a Ric 4003, Tbird, Stambaugh 4, Ripper and an Ovation Acoustic/electric. I either use Epifani T310 - T115 cabs or Acme Low B2 and B4 cabs. But I mostly have to use a provided SVT rig when I play clubs. As has been stated in previous threads, your rig is really just an on stage monitor when you have a big system. That's why I like the DI on the F1X so at least I know the engineer is getting my source sound. I also liked the Glockenklang stuff I've tried at NAMM last year. Danno | ||
