¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I only play bass to record demos in my basement, hence the iRig.
I used to play guitar.

Re: BOTR 2020: Best Bass Rig
It's actually a solid amp for that purpose. Considering how strident and clean a Hiwatt amp is, especially with their headroom, I'm not surprised they make a great bass amp.

Re: BOTR 2020: Best Bass Rig
Thanks again guys!!!
Although, I've gigged this rig plugged straight in, I forgot to include the Okko MotorBass pedal in the pic.
If you don't crank the pedal to full Lemmy, it makes an excellent preamp/compressor.
