wondering if anyone knows if those dbx's are where its at in regards to bass? or if there;s somethin newer/better???

I think you noticed last time you were here that the Buzz Essence is the only thing left in my lunchbox, I kept it just for bass only, pretty much.

Though the API 2500 does a fine job as well. If this is the project you were going to do at my place don't worry about Rbass or the DBX.

If it's a different project then you could use the Essence for a small fee or hire Nic's MC77, which would be my choice.

The dbx, dunno mate been a while since I used 1.

Yeah busy arvo. Been thinking for a while about subharmonic too for the drums in the hiphop I was doing. Never got around to it though, but am interested to find out a bit more about them and also what Rick had done with his too.

Some 3630's and some epoxy resin could make some really cool studio door steps.
