What do you do with your Tweeter?

[jtc_hunter]

Ok, in the bass guitar section a member posted "show us you Wenge!" So here in the amp section I am asking "what do you do with your tweeter?". I have Avatar cabs and when i first got them, I turned the atenuator almost all the way down, but lately I am liking it at about 50% . Maybe it just takes awhile to learn how to appreciate certain tones. I run my GK amp with the EQ's almost all at 12:00 slightly varying the lows and low mids down to 10:00 in boomy rooms. I run my boost at about 2:00. And the tone on my bass more towards the treble side. Lets hear what you
"Do with your tweeter?"

I like to throw it in the trash and not bother with the damb thing.

I like "old-school" cabs

With my Mark Bass 210 Traveler bass cab, I keep the tweeter attenuator turned all the way down.

I'll say it a third time. I keep it off.

Only the third time?

I use mine @ around 60% all the time. My technique is far from flawless, but if I eliminate obnoxious clackiness at the source, it never gets reproduced anyway, but it's there for the occasional pop/slap dynamic effect.

When I had cabs that had tweeters I would turn them off.

Then I realized I could just get cabs that don't have them so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

To clarify I didn't buy my cabs based on the fact that they didn't have tweeters, but more on the fact that they sound incredible and were easy to transport, the lack of tweeter was just a lovely bonus in my book.

Seeing as how my amp only has an on/off button I just leave it on. Unless I am using distortion for some reason or another, then I think it sounds better with it off.

i install a true bypass on it and turn it off.

[paulygonemad]

I turn mine all the way down, but now I am thinking of doing what johnk 10 does.

My horn amp is on about 60-70% most of the time, but I'm using a G-K amp and cab so it's a little different. When I was using the 800RB (cab in full range mode) it was set pretty low. I am old.........school even.

[stoolpigeon]

Typically its a bout 75%...i like the bit of attack it gives me onstage.

[aus_bass]

Turn it off.

[62Jazzbass]

I turn it off.

[James Judson]

All the way on (100%). Then I use the EQ (bass and amp) to dial up my sound.

[JimmyM]

there was a time i liked just a hint of tweeter, but for almost all my life i never had a cab with one. 5k's plenty.

[jtc_hunter]

So far that 10 -off, and 5 on.

[Derk_Falsco]

I turn mine off

[Basshappi]

All the way off, all of the time.

[PortugalWillie]

I use mine to tell my friends what I'm doing in 140 characters or less.

I hate tweeters. They give me a toothache.
