Or I guess you could lower the gain with the higher output bass, but then you'd be turning down, (boo).... Then you wouldn't accidentally be too loud when you go back. Either way, adjust the gain knob.

 

[Clark Westfield]

Thanks for the feedback fellows.

I figured the gain was the knob of choice in this situation.

I have my 500c on top of a 1x15. It's a match made in heaven. You just need a quarter inch speaker cable.

Thanks. If I combine a 2x10 and 1x15 it won't blow my amp up?

My knowledge about amplifiers is pretty non-existent

I read Linnen's post twice to figure out what he meant, lol.

What he's saying is on the lower output bass, up the gain to match the volume of the higher output bass.
So, turn up the gain, is the short answer.

Ah - so I understood the procedure, but misunderstood Linnin! I was kind of worried there for a minute, thinking it was time to go back to school

Not at all, the 500 head is designed to produce maximum power at 4 ohms, and both those cabinets are 8 ohm cabinets.....using both of them will be 4 ohms, and your amp will be in heaven!!

^^^ This is correct ^^^ Proper Gain Structure is critical.

Could your pickup(s) be angled too close to your E string?

You should up the gain to match the input signal of your hotter bass.

Thanks guys !! I lowered my pickups and seems to be better ! I'll know if it's ok when I'll try in a bigger room.
When this settings will be OK, I think the Auralex pad will still improve the sound, but not if my E string peaks.

Thanks !

Thanks guys. Payday was today and the 115 is very, very tempting.

Hi the Club ! So happy to be part of it, with my 200 combo. Thanks for this so usefull club

But I have one question : I can't manage to have a clean sound on my E-string... It always seems a bit overdriven, even with no overdrive on the Amp, and with any style (Bright , Vintage or Contour)...
Does any one have an idea what can cause that ?

Thanks !

Do they make waterproof/spillproof amps yet? If so I need one real bad-rat now!

No, but you can waterproof it yourself. Just open the amp up and fill it with uncooked rice. The rice will absorb any moister that gets in.

I missed that part on the warranty of the rumbles(maybe that's why they're selling so good).

Oh please do! we want to see the smoke too.lol

This may sound stupid, but is there a difference? I'm a newbie to pairing amps..

Well, the upside is, you may get to post another NAD! post.

I used to keep an adult beverage and also an ashtray complete with burning cigarette on top of my Bassman amps at all times. Sometimes candles & incense too.
