Cirrus owners: what amp are you rocking?

jjk2007 · #1 12-26-2010, 05:49 PM

I just recently got a Cirrus and was wondering what other Cirrus players are using. I have an EA micro and a pair of NL210's. So far so good, but I'd like to hear of some other combos that you guys feel match up well with the Cirrus. Let's have em!

Anyone?

I'm using a TC Electronics RH450 through a Peavey Tour 410. It doesn't sound quite as good as my Trace Elliot AH1000-12, but I got sick of hauling that heavy bastage all over.

I'm using a Line 6 Bass Pod XT (using the Eden setting) into a Fender Rumble 100 2x10. It's loud enough for me and sounds good.

IEM.. DI (MXR M80, Zoom B2.1u,Radial JDI and on and on)

GK MB2 500 into a custom cab. Bill Fitzmaurice omni 12 TB. Very, very clear clean tone. Extremely light, but plenty to overpower our drummer.

TC Electronics BG500 2X10.

GK 2001RB / 2 GK-NEO 2/12 II cabs.......love it!

a MarkBass SD1200 into a Hartke Hydrive410 and a MoMark SD800 into a Dr. Bass 2460D. I do tend to switch the heads around so whatever floats my boat or blows up my skirt

There ya go!

I'm using 3 at the moment. I've got the MB212 as my gig combo, my GK 700rbII rig at my band's rehearsal spot, and my EA iAmp 350 rig at my church. My redwood 6'er sounds great through all 3.

Peavey t-max into a peavey 4x10 tvx cab

bottomzone · #14 12-31-2010, 03:02 PM

An EA micro 300 and either a Phil Jones Bass 6B cab or a Schroeder Mini 10 + light.

A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste!

Something tells me a Cirrus into a SVT would be an ideal setup, given the tonal qualitys of the peavey

I've found that in a live setting a DI is where it shines best.... I find that the SVT muddies it up.

Cirrus 5's work best with Peavey amps...well, that's what Peavey told me.

Okay, how 'bout Presonus, SansAmp RPM, Ashly BP41, and GK 2001 RBP preamps? Don't forget the Acme cabs.

I've played through lots of different combinations, but right now it's a GB Shuttle 6.0 through an SWR Golight 410. It sounds reallly good, but my favorite combo so far was a GK 1001rb through an SWR Goliath III and Son of Bertha.

+1. A sound guy recorded a set for my band one day when I was running DI only, and I was literally blown away by how awesome it sounded. Ever since then, my cirrus has been my main gigging bass.
