What happened to Lucy (the Diezel bass amp)? Just wondering, since I noticed another new Diezel guitar head's come out! (looks v nice too!)

Not that I have the money to buy one either, I was playing my bass through my Herbie again, and was thinking how good it sounded. A few years back when I filled in on bass in a friends band I used it as a bass head for a few gigs. I used channel 3 on one song for the meatiest bass distortion ever as well! The bassist of the headlining band borrowed it too one gig and asked what it was as it was a fantastic bass amp (and that was just through a cheap bass cab with Deep still on 12 o'clock)! :D

I'm staying far away from any Hagens as I don't want to want one! :lol: :LOL:
 
so it's completely safe to use a Diezel as a Bass amp?? I can get a bass cab and run my diezel? I've been wanting to buy a bass amp for a while but it's easier to just get a cab and use the VH4
 
Peter's the best man to answer that, but I can't see why not. Sounds great too. I sometimes used my guitar cab which worried me a little as it's not a bass cab so isn't designed to be producing low frequencies, but figured it's a 300W cab so as long as I was careful it'd be ok. I was always a lot happier running through a bass cab though. I figured the Herbie was built enough like a tank that just using it for mostly lower frequencies couldn't really hurt it, especially if it's not cranked up that loud. I'm not sure there's much difference in basic guitar or bass tube amp design, but generally bass amps are more powerful and designed to take bigger low frequency transients (which I figure the Herbie probably is too!). Peter? Any thoughts?

When I record bass parts at home I often run them through channel 1 of my herbert and out the compensated out. Makes a lovely bass preamp! :)
 
Lucy or Bismarck is in progress. It will take a while.
