I messaged audio surplus and they said there's no chance they'll be making any more of them so if I do find one it'll be on the used market. It's a peavey century preamp so I'm thinking if anybody had one it would be someone on this sub
Looking to buy an Audio Surplus Effects Lurid Machine, a Johnk Century or Centurian preamp, or potentially something similar
I spent about an hour going through different settings with the Zio last night trying out different OD and fuzz pedals to figure out how what I'm taking on the road this weekend. It made the decision pretty difficult because everything sounded great through it. With a bit of adjustment I was able to make anything work, and it even made my clean amp tone pop in ways that I've never been able to get from a sansamp or darkglass. I remember this thing being marketed a bit more towards funk players but it sounds like its going to hold up great with my death metal and punk bands
I posted this p bass last week looking for info about where it came from with no luck so I got to work setting it up. After I shimmed the neck and did some setup work on it I figured I might as well bring it to the show I was playing that night. Usually I play more modern active basses so I wasn't sure how running a p bass was going to sound with my setup, but it handled the fuzz great, tons of low end with plenty of clank and cut to hang in the mix, way nicer than the last p bass I owned. The construction feels super solid, the neck feels a bit flatter than a typical p bass, and the body has a nice weight to it that feels solid enough to bring on the road. It still needs a bit of work but overall well worth the $140 plus shipping I paid for it.
Setup is the p bass in b standard, a BSRI Ashmaker (newer version with a clean blend), sansamp, into a hartke LH1000 I painted orange to match my cabs, and my pair of orange sp410 cabs.
Seller claimed it was Japanese from the 80's but I'm not really sure. There's a few results on Google for eagle basses but they all seem to be drastically different logos, nothing that looks like this one. It was pretty cheap and I got it to play half decent after a bit of work so I'm pretty happy with the find, but I'm so curious.
