I'm all for jokes and I have a fairly resilient sense of humor, but some of you are straight up condescending and I've seen that on multiple threads. No need to act as if you're the self-appointed bass heirarchy, just asking for responses based on experience.

Yeah yeah yeah, we all wear hearing protection. I'm sure it's not the best idea in the world, just the way it happens

Yp Hahahaha you're funny as hell

I couldn't resist the temptation to get a baby kitten and now my first practice since is approaching. She's two months old, and would be upstairs while we practice in the basement. We're incredibly loud and she's been exposed to me playing bass out of my rig, but not at concert levels. I've got...

Glad to hear someone has similar experience, thank you for the input

I have not heard of an HPF until now. I've seen it on a big muff I used to own, but didn't know the purpose. I'll do some research and look into it further, thank you!

Replying to all of these at once: We all know guitarists have incredibly fragile egos and asking the SoB to turn down is heresy. I've suggested we all lower the volume several times and yet we all eventually rise at some point. Vocals are heard pretty well in the mix. Drums and guitar are...

Yes to passive input. This is my first amp involving a tube and IveI owned it for almost 2 years. Playing once or twice a week on average. Could it be worn out already?

Thanks for the input! The problem I have, though, is that my last band required me to play with my mids on 8 and my bass and treble cut. So I'm wondering what EQ's people may typically use with a similar setup/issue

Background on my rig and situation: Playing a passive P bass through a Hartke LH1000 (1,000 watts) and a matching set of Hydrive 8 ohm cabs: 1x15 and 4x10 (these make it so that the cores pump out 250W on each side at a total of 500W max at 8 ohms). The band consists of a main guitarist...

I'd go with the 4x10, but I'm on a budget. Another cab's another cab, so as long as it can power it, I'll give this setup a shot

Yeah man, exactly. I've been looking at cabs all day and I think my best option from here is to go with the 115 500W Hydrive. Problem is, this is my first stack and i have no idea how to do it. Everyone's saying to run it bridged and then chain in to the next, but critical thinking tells me...

Couldn't get a whole lot of volume when I got to practice the other day, tried to turn up and got a nasty clipping sound. I turned down after for our first song or two, but we smelled this god awful burning chemical odor in the air. I sniffed around and could tell it was the cab. Popped it off...

Will do, and I really appreciate this insight in regards to EQ because all of my knowledge on the topic at the moment is tentative, as you've pointed out. The only problem I have with that, however, is that I haven't tried to play it since the incident, as I'm worried I may cause further damage...

So I've had this setup for about a month and a half now (Hartke LH1000 with the Hydrive 4x10), all of which was purchased as a set with the Speakon cable that I am currently using. Prior to purchasing this, I had two pretty nice combos at about 150w. I've recently joined my first band and...
