Sign in to disble this ad
given the myriad of options a bass can have nowadays, plus the wide range of amps, what would theoretically be the most earth-shaking rumble one can think of? would it be a P bass made of macassar ebony with TI flats thru an ampeg SVT and 8x10 cab? would it be a ric with darkstars and Labellas thru a fender 15" cab and a LMII? (not saying they are, just some examples)
i dunno, i'm not good with this techie stuff. just curious.

I would imagine one of these would be involved: http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products...jackHammer.cfm
...If any bassist had the cojones to build one into a cab...

| | Thor's Hammer 2.1.3beta | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: South Houston, TX | | | I actually got to see one of these recently... My friend has a car audio shop and calls me in occasionally to help tune the systems, and he had a guy with a hummer wanting to stick one of those in the back.
I took one look at that thing and went, "No tunin' that, bro. Just turn it on and RUN..."
Now, imagine if someone built TWO of those subs into a box...

(Just saying, not referring to anyone.)
