  Subject: OT: bass preamp (RE: rackmount 
  overdrive/distortion)
  
  for what kind of music? country? death-metal? 
  I am looking for a superlative bass head to drive a 2x15 
  (haven't built yet so not sure of load but guessing it's 4 ohm)
  under 1500? I loop on my own but when I play with the band 
  it's a heavy rock thing. 
  is the alembic all that? 
  thx 
  Ben

I forgot to thank 
  you regarding the alembic suggestion. 
i finally find 
  one and have it here, it is the best sounding gtr/bass tube 
preamp i've ever used ! 
  thanks,
