Ampeg bass combos are legendary, of course, but the B18n & B18x are exceedingly rare, AFAIK.

I know 2 guys who own B18Ns. Anthony and Brian.... different years, same amp, a b15 head on a jumbo cab with a cleveland 18 inch. Maybe it's because the ampeg plant wasn't far from philly but I encounter weird ampeg variants regularly. Trash godz party headquarters is home to a several cool 60s ampegs including Cam's gemini2.

You thinking we add separate entries for B18N & X or just one entry for both?

GEAR:
  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer
  • Roland SH-101
  • Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer

I had to look the schematic up. Both 18" models look 90% the same, but I was incorrect about them being a b15 head. They're almost twice as powerful, using 7027a tubes which were an ultra robust 6L6 ampeg used in the V/VT series amps, ab18x is the same amp design as the b25 and b25b heads that I used to like for bass.... which is a V3 with larger coupling caps and different bright and deep switch values. The b18n is solid state rectified, so will be less compressed than a b18x or b25. Different power supply. It makes a difference. The B18Ns ive recorded were punchy as heck versus a b25 and the silicon diode bridge rectifier is probably the reason. I think they're going to sound and feel more different than is indicated by the schematic. A fast, stiff power supply changes amps a lot, especially bass amps.

Every new item page that gets added here that only links back to one or two artist or one or two users drags down the site's overall search ranking with Google and similar by a tiny amount. After thousands of such entries, it ended up becoming a pretty big issue. This is why there are restrictions on what can be added.

In the case of this cable, this seems like an item so specific that it's unlikely to have more than a few user accounts linked to it, and likely never have any artists linked to it. So with that in mind, would you be OK with leaving this cable out of the database?

Wicked.

Separate B18N & B18X profiles then, or one "Ampeg B18(n/x)" profile?

Its probably not all that rare in eastern europe. Commies cranked out just as many microphones as their capitalist neighbors, they had a lot if propaganda to record. I'll bet every radio station in a former eastern block country has a couple TAB Funkenwork condensers buried in a closet... you probably can't trade them for Levi's these days though!

Ha, good points! I was just making a generalization about what kind of things can't be added by anyone through Sweetwater links or Reverb.com landing pages. I wasn't trying to imply that the mic in question was exceedingly rare. I have a feeling @julian_meza intends to add it to Daman Albarn... so brace yourself for a 2% spike in used prices.

I'll live with that price bump. I've definitely benefited from name associations when selling under the radar gear that someone has made famous... or infamous.

I'm actually all through my tube microphone phase. Occassionally I'll use my rode NTV on a female vocalist, it's the only great mic they ever made, but that's about it. My friend Larry makes the ADK tube mics and I used to own one, but I haven't tried his new stuff... maybe I'll get one of his 251 style mics. In tube mics I really want a u67 or nothing and they're unobtainium. There's nothing quite like a 67... no one ever copies the feedback circuit, they tone down the capsule brightness or add some eq to the preamp but a real 67 has a dynamic 'equalization' where the attenuation of high end only occurs when you hit it with a lot of treble. Its clever... it works sort of like a presence control on a guitar amp in reverse. It's like a dynamic shelving filter powered by phase cancellation from the negative leg if the output transformer.

Anyway... you can get a great recording from almost anything these days. It's a real golden era. I'm consistently blown away with how easily stuff comes together with modern budget mics. This wss not the case when we were young.

Are you sure it should be under DAWs? The website suggests to me it's only standalone as an iPad app but is really a virtual instrument plugin for a fully featured host DAW. I mean, I'm sure one could make reat music using only a tablet these days but I wouldn't call it a workstation if I've got to open it as a plugin to integrate it with my studio. What do I know though? I'm a dinosaur.

@jimmarchi1 I agree, it's definitely not a DAW, but there's a lot of stuff cluttering up the DAW category that isn't a DAW. We really need a category for sequencer plugins. For now, Strokes is in with the "Groovebox" software, as the maker lists that as one of the things Strokes can be.

Also, Sound On Sound categorized it as such.
