    Question: Is there anything wrong with this set up?

    I appreciate everyone's supurb suggestions. Thank you, Really! I have considered most, if not all of the suggestions posted. I have even tried some of them. I'm an old bass player trying to keep up with a younger band so, there's half my issue. Being old and traditional, I love the look of a...

    Question: Is there anything wrong with this set up?

    Yes, the third cab will bring the stack's height to a total of 62" tall. I am 69" tall, with my ears being at or around 63" off the ground... hmm... that's barefoot though. Anyways, here are the Ohm settings straight from the manual: 4Ω external ( 270W internal and 530W external ). Place the...

    Question: Is there anything wrong with this set up?

    I have a GK NEO FUSION 112 800watt combo amp. I currently use a GK NEO 12 400watt external cab with it for a total of 800watts. I'm in a really loud gigging rock band. I cannot hear myself well (the highs and mids) without turning up, then the others complain Im too loud. I've tried all of the...

    Replacement Speaker

    Thanks for all of your replies. I have not tried patching the effects loop. I have also not reached out to Ampeg for any information. Being an old practice amp I just wanted it to play and not sound like crap. And no, I do not know for sure that it's the speaker. I guess I should start with the...

    Replacement Speaker

    I have been using an Ampeg BA115 for practice for 20 years and the little guy is finally starting to fart around on me. I want to replace the speaker but I'm having trouble finding a direct replacement for what the manual says is in there. Specifically, a 15”, 150 w, 4 ohm, 2.5” voice coil dia...

    Driver, replacement, more headroom.

    My new Fender Am Pro II JBass doesn't sound too bad.

    I just wanted to let you know that whatever input you had in the design of the TT-800... Man, you guys nailed it. It's an outstanding amp. It's so versatile. I love the growl I can get out of it with no pedals whatsoever. I love how deep it can go, how bright it can get, and all points between...

    That would be odd. So, no, this is not a practice PA system.

    Room is not always a factor - but when it is, then your stuck with the upside down snowman look. :rollno: Not good.

    And you may very well be correct. In fact, I'd put the odds in your favor. I don't doubt that he knows what he's doing - some. But the system he's running may be overly complex for his skill level. On the other hand, it may just be the system that has a problem. He's not incompetent, his day job...

    Well, we got new mains last year and it improved the mids and highs considerably. I'm not sure of his set up but I believe he has a main board that goes to an amp that goes to a crossover that goes to another amp that powers the subs. As I said, I'm not sure of his setup exactly - but that's my...

    My point exactly! And it's always because of them damn subs. They're junk.

    Thanks, but I already have a 410 Mesa Powerhouse as back up. Just too heavy and I'll only use it at larger outdoor venues. And I'm always on the lookout for good deals so, your idea is always a possibility.

    To be honest, I have no idea. I don't handle them at all. My rhythm guitarist is our PA guy, and all I know is when it's time to do the sound check, he spends an absorbent amount of time trying to get those things to work at all, and when he finally does, he can't get enough volume out of them...
