    aggressive p style pickups?

    I think people have problems with the QP's when they put them in Fenders and expect them to sound like Fender pups only fuller. This is not their tone. Thundering lows, piercing highs combine for a very aggresive borderline harsh sound. For me it works great. For others, not so much. They...

    Installing an EMG pickup

    Exactly the same thought I had. Was mounting the pickups and the foam was just floppy for lack of a better word...looked over and saw a stack of mousepads that had been collecting dust and thought what the heck....cut em up, in they went and now the pickups don't budge at all unless I adjust...

    Installing an EMG pickup

    LMAO. I just did that on my bass and I got a little freaked cause it worked so well I thought I must have done something wrong....too funny to see someone else did the exact same thing with the same results. Two layers of mouse pad, foam on top, pickups rest PERFECT and sit just right when...

    P+J or dual MM's?

    I would get to a music store and play as many different basses as you can before purchasing. I played a Soundgear for about 10 years and just recently switched to a Fender Jazz. Before buying the SR I played just about everything under the sun (in my price range) - Fender, Ricks, Yamaha...

    GS 112 NT vs. GB NEOX-112T

    I'll check the 410 when I get home, but I am almost 100% positive there is nothing wrong with it. I've never had any problems with it in the past, and with the current Amp (SVT-200T) I am running it sounds nice and tight, punchy and aggressive. I am getting the Shuttle and want to run it at a...

    Overpowering your cabinets?

    Yeah I failed to include that as an option, hence my apologetic post a couple up. Basically HIGH watt Amp (more than cabs) over high watt cabs running low with plenty of headroom not working the cabs hard. Joe - sounds like the option I forgot to include.

    Overpowering your cabinets?

    My usage of the term was to imply the question whether or not people use amps that have the capability to overpower their cabinets, not that they actually did.

    GS 112 NT vs. GB NEOX-112T

    I'm pretty certain that all is well with the cab. Reason I am looking at the 112 is I need more boost around the 100 HZ range, a spot where it seems that the 12's really excel at. The Hartke does go low, but lacks something at that range. I've paired it with a 15 underneath in the past and...

    Overpowering your cabinets?

    Damnit I knew I forgot something. And as I side note I have to admit the choices in this thread are not exactly clear nor all encompasing....sorry guys.

    GS 112 NT vs. GB NEOX-112T

    Silly question maybe, but did you test both with a 410 or just each cabinet individually? I am wondering which one sounds better in a support role to the 410. If you have the cabs, have a 410 lying around, and feel like testing it out let me know the results. Checking used options the GS...

    Overpowering your cabinets?

    My basic question is whether or not players think it sounds best when your amp over powers your cabs, best when your cabs are rated much higher than your amp, or if you get your best sound when they are roughly equal. For me personally I think most cabs sound best when they are slightly...

    GS 112 NT vs. GB NEOX-112T

    Yeah I am. I know Hartke has a bad rap around here, but that old 410 kicks some major butt. The 260 watt rating is very very conservative as I have run it along side someone who had a "300 watt" transporter that felt their cab was better and blown it completely out of the water. I've played a...

    GS 112 NT vs. GB NEOX-112T

    Yeah Quad Neo's is the ticket. 1200 watts, 2 ohms from a 1200 watt 2 ohm amp....BOOOOOM. Lol. So let me make sure I got this straight, basically you take the dual speakon outs from the 1200 and go into two speakon inputs on 2 of the 112's, then jump those out the 1/4 inch jack into the...

    GS 112 NT vs. GB NEOX-112T

    For sure, and I for one thank you Dennis for putting that stuff out there. Oh and as a side question for you - I checked the specs on the NEOX-112T and it appears to have both Speakon and 1/4 inputs, but don't see if there is any way to hook up extensions on those cabs. My long term goal is...

    GS 112 NT vs. GB NEOX-112T

    I actually am following your thread on it and have found the information in there to be very useful. Also watched the vids and that pretty much sold me on the Shuttle. In all honesty my EQ will effect my sound far more than the subtle differences between these two cabs, but I wanted to see...
