    Wow, Greg, first an Oberheim TEO-5 demo, now a Sterling 5-string, another instrument I’m mildly tempted by. I am curious. Do you play synth bass a la Ray Manzarek (I know he played a Piano Bass, not a synthesizer)? That’s a skill I’ve been trying to hone for 27 years now.

    It’s November 2024. I purchased an analog emulation synthesizer this past spring, the Hydrasynth Explorer. All the same and as much as I dig it, I’m also deeply tempted by the TEO-5 (which I affectionately call the Thomas Elroy Oberheim Five). In a classic give-and-take fashion, something which you know about having both models yourself, there are things each of them can do that the other cannot. ARP almost got in on this neverland of analog polyphonic synthesizer design, right before they folded as a business in 1980. The model that was supposed to keep them afloat, the Chroma, ended up being distributed by CBS Musical Instruments as a Rhodes product. Its architecture almost literally brings this method of synthesis and patch memory storage to a logical extreme, between having 16 notes of polyphony, multitimbral functionality and what might be the inaugural matrix modulation array.

    • @BassHappy64

    I had to put my TEO-5 away for a few days, after having it for over a month and non stop sound designing I was slowing down on making beats. Not that it's a bad thing just that it's almost endless at the possibilities you're able to achieve sonically with the Oberheim. I'm very satisfied with my synth.

      Any analog synthesizer with "MIDI in" funtionality. I control software synths with it plus several other synths that are & have been here. Deepmind 6, Novation Bass Station II, Oberheim TEO-5, Moog Subsequent 37, Moog Minitaur, Ensoniq SQ1 Plus, just to name a few. The controller works great. I am still looking for a road case for it though so I can safely transport it to gigs.

    • @BassHappy64

      Rush not only inspired me to be a musician in 1978 but it was & still is Geddy Lee who causes me to push my musicianship to higher levels. I just turned 60 & I am still a student of Rush. Let me also say that with the Oberheim TEO-5 (if you don't already own an OB synth), you will be able to program & cover a lot of Rush material that would otherwise not be possible with other synthesizers.

      The SVT410HLF is rated as a 4 ohm 500 watt cabinet. The LH1000 in bridge mode puts out 1100 watts into a 4 ohm load. That amp will blow up a SVT410HLF.

      @Vinigambetta yes that is correct. The LH1000 delivers 750 watts when bridged into an 8 ohm load. If you are conservative with the volume, the amp will power that cab fine but I would be worried about the peaks damaging the speakers.

I own gibson, kramer,jackson, other Ibanez, bc rich, fender, prs and others. none are that high at the nut. can I just buy a lower nut I mean so the strings will be lower at the first frets. I like low action and this would help the overall action. it's like 3 times to high. I will have to file down the groove were the strings sit or file down the wood under the metal nut but I dont like that because it wood mean it's stronger and I would take a lot off. all other guitar I have are 3 times lower, I would expect this on a Walmart guitar or something. I very suprised by this on a Ibanez. realy sucks. sorry for the bad spelling I am french. If I can get a lower one please give me the link for the righ one... anyone thanks.

    Hey, I’m a bassist from the Chicago area too. I’ve been enjoying watching some of your videos today. I’d like to get some bass pedals too I’m looking at the Roland PK-5A in particular. Have you seen Behringer’s Toro synth? It seems pretty faithful to the original and I think I’d get that over a Mini Moog. If you get your hands on one I’d like to hear your thoughts. By the way, I love your Rick. I’m hoping to get one of my own soon too! Cheers!

      Hi Ross. Good to see another Chi-Town bassist. I would not trust the Behringer Toro to hold up for gigging. It would be fine for the home studio though. I'm looking at the Moog Minitaur. More features, way better built & it has 128 presets that can be instantly recalled using the switches on my MojoPedals. Its completely compatible. The only drawback is the price. The Minitaur is quite a bit more than the Toro but, you get what you pay for. For me, that's the way to go. Oh... Get a Ric! You will not regret it. Nothing sounds or plays like them. Mine is my number one bass followed by my Geddy Lee Signature Jazz Bass!
