I had the MarkBass MB58R 122 cab and it was super light and decent sounding They do a MB58R in 410 now so super light. They tend to handle power well and perform well

I had a BB3 cab and a Supertwin and they sounded similar as both had 12” speakers. Avoided the 10” cabs as they suffered from Tolex peel badly. I sold both of them and prefer the Genzler ULV212 cab ( they also offer a UL112 cab ) and it sounds warmer and nicer to my ears. Not rated as high in...

I find if you want to hear the tonal difference that picks of different materials or gauges is to play the bass unplugged and listen. I discovered that I really liked the 0.73 yellow Tortex Dunlop picks compared to my heavier 1-1.5mm picks. The standard pick or the triangle shape both sounded...

The MG800 and Kinetix have a different feel to their sound. Kinetix sounds valve like, but more like power amp valves not just pre amp valves. I’ve had other amps in the past that have a valve in the preamp ( Orange Terror, Ashdown ABM600 ) and the Kinetix is a huge improvement and actually...

This would sound better if cabs stacked on top not side by side. I know amp would overhang but two vertical speakers sound better than two side by side for various reasons

It’s a great compressor. Thry had some quality issues on some batches that had “ noise” issues on the compressed note tails but I think they cured that. Works really well

I’ve owned both the SVT212AV cab and the ABM600 ( I’m in the U.K. ) The cab was ok but not particularly efficient and I found it the perfect match with the V4B head. The Ashdown is a Class A/B amp and has a good tone and sounds powerful but I found like most of Ashdown gear I wanted better...

Yea but input volume or master volume ?

Ampeg PF50 would be my choice Ashdown LB30 second choice but also good

I’m still trying to learn the relationship between input gain level and the volume control. I’m ( with boost on ) running volume nearly the same or slightly higher than the gain level for a punchy tone with a touch of grit

I prefer a pick with PBass for all rock !

I’ve found that the following suits my pick played PBass for rock The input set to Boost ( recommended by Jeff ) and I particularly found “ fat” an ideal setting Mids turned down to fill out the pick tone sound and master around 9 o’clock was loud enough in my rock band Using a ULV Magellan cab

The Kinetix definitely sounds superior to the MG800 or should I say different but both equally great ! For me the Kinetix suited rock better as it’s warmer sounding, the pre amp drive is more natural and it feels fuller in tone and just like a full valve amp. The EQ is more to my liking and...

Hi I had the MG800 which is one of the best class D amps around. I then got the ULV212 cab. Having also owned in the past a Barefaced Supertwin I was hoping for great things. The cab is amazing quality, powerful, full sounding and warmer tone compared to the BF neutral sounding cab. Then I got...

Might have been a slippery wooden floor and being a light cab there was movement. A floor mat or rubber anti vibration pads like they put under washing machines under each foot will cure it I’m sure.
