    Re: Aceman? No - It's Baceman!!!!!

    Nice rig Aceman. I'd never heard of that Ampeg pre before. I wonder how she compares to the EH Battalion?

      I looked at the EHX Battalion when I was shopping for a bass preamp with DI. The Ampeg SCR-DI has the obvious Ampeg sound (!!!), even bypassed, and liked the SCR better (I never go passed 12 o'clock) then the distortion on the Battalion for the sound I was looking for. Very easy to have a good sound out of the Ampeg SCR-DI. I liked the EHX Battalion a lot at first then the more I was listening to the demos, the more I found the distortion too "fuzz" and not enough "tube amp".

      The Ampeg SCR-DI is designed to go direct FOH and has a built-in hi-cut so it doesn't sound fizzy even with SCR engaged. Plus aux-in for bedroom practice with IEM when the kids are asleep.

      2 similar products but 2 different sounds. IMO, Ampeg SCR-DI for a more vintage sound, EHX Battalion for a more modern sound.

        Nice review. I may have to look closer at one. Thanks.

          1. "Ms. Jackson" - my main all around 4 string. A Jackson JS Concert. Great action, super player.

          2. A Dean Sledgehammer 5 String - this is my 5 string go-to (Because it's my only 5 string!). got it from our bass player who replaced the Active pup with a passive.

          3. A Dean "Metalman" 4 string - Pink duct tape added by me. Bass players who play it really dig the sound.

          And my ultra low key rig:

          Boss Limiter Enhancer - an on all-the-time pedal >

          Boss EQ - set for swapping between Jackson and Dean to keep it all level, lead boost, etc. >

          Amp SCR-DI - for my basic Pre-amping and I can add a little fur/grind with that also >

          Whatever board, powered amp, or whatever I want. I have a 12" Sampson powered monitor I use a lot
          What does the Limit Enhancer thing actually do?

            It's a compressor. Mainly it keeps bass notes from exploding all over the sound spectrum too loudly. It puts a cap on the max volume. That's a problem when you have a lot of power applied to notes that low, but also have higher notes available. Especially when your right hand technique sucks like mine!

              Squire V/M Jazz & Precision basses are pretty good for the price.
