| | | | Help with my rig!
I have a HA3000 hooked up to a Hartke 410XL. Is there anything else I should put with it or am I good to go? I've always used combo amps so I'm pretty new to this part of the gear game. Any helpful tips on what I should get will be highly appreciated! |

| | | | ok, cool. I made sure to go out and get a speaker cable. I wanna do more to it, though, but I don't really know what to do first, haha.. Should I start with getting a rack? |

Welcome to the gear cycle! |

Can add another 410xl if you want to get super loud, or effects pedals if you want some different sounds the amp can't provide by itself but what you have there can do most any gig. |

You're lucky you haven't developed full blown GAS. If you carry on prompting someone will suggest something you see as indispensible to your tone. Then you're stuffed, you got the GAS. Run away now.

| | | | You may be right, downunderwonder. in fact, you are right. i don't even know what my rig sounds like and won't know till this weekend. but i'm sure there are things that every bassist should have. |

| | | | Practice and play as much as you can.....I always notice that when I play more, at some point my equipment is at its limits. This is when I ask the question what to add... |

| | | | the b1 has a built in tuner.. idk, i guess i'll ask when I know what I want, haha. |

Most of those complex rigs were built to address specific needs, not just a bunch of random stuff thrown together because the player thought they would need it. At this point, you don't need any more than what you have. Later on, you can consider getting more stuff. Or not. I know a heck of a lot of pro bass players who go bass/amp.

Seriously though, I've never really wanted or needed anything more than a little tube compression and a lot of volume in 8 years and counting. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
