Yeah. My pea brain will fry like my speakers when I hear the tech jargon

That’s what I was hoping to hear! Lol! I called Ampeg, they had mention maybe the crossover in the speaker cabinet failed. He also said a general rule of thumb, I know someone mentioned it before in this thread, that you head should be rated at higher wattage or power than your cabinet. The 700...

I also called Ampeg and they wondered the same thing (crossover board or something electronic). Almost verbatim what you just said. Lol! At 1st I got the popping and crackling in the top left speaker (at least it sounded like it was coming from that speaker to me). Then, total sound loss. As if...

I was wondering if a 15” added would help. Thanks! I have D’Addorio Super Long 6 string set. I believe low B gauge is a .135

Thank y Thank you! You’re right, I am a low end junkie! Lol! You touched on something I was curious about if it would help (additional speakers). If I could preserve some of the low end, great! If not, like you and others have said, I’ll get used to it. And maybe in the future when we play...

Haha!

Thank you very much! Good info!

You’ve been very helpful. Thank you. So again, I’m not very hear savvy, is A high pass filter different or the same as compression? Is it, or does it come in a stomp box? First I’ve heard of HPF. Sorry for the ignorance

Thank you everyone for your replies. So I’m thinking starting at noon again with my eq and try not to boost. Maybe I’ll just try cutting back on everything to get the overall sound I want without boosting and of my heads eq...

Thank you. I am also a guitarist switched to bass. Been playing fingerstlye for 2 years now and this is my 1st “real rig”. I play metal (probably obvious from tuning) that’s why I “know” maybe I don’t... haha) that bassists have used this low of tuning before with success. Listen to the bassist...

Yeah. The button is pressed in. I’ll definitely try and adjust eq again when I get my cab back

What is HPF? And also add a compression pedal? I will also reevaluate my eq settings on my head. Again, I want the boom and thunder from the lows while having articulate midrange growl. So I guess I need to find a sweet spot to not make the lows sound thin instead of round and full. Think...

A few months. But both head and cab were used. I called about it and the associate said the speakers could’ve been pushed hard before I got it. I’m not sure. So you think once speaker(s) are replaced, should be ok?

The volume shouldn’t have been a problem. I can understand my bumping of eq and my settings there. But the volume wasn’t even a quarter of the way up... that’s too loud?

GK’s head maunal suggests to have the main volume (woofer) at 12 o’clock. That’s where I have it. Input volume was maybe at 8 o’clock possibly lower. The eq on my bass guitar is all the way up for bass, mid, and high knobs. Eq on my GK head is highs at about 3 oclock, high mids and low mids at 4...
