    Behringer 8x10

    there's a lot of Behringer hate on here, so you'll have to dig through the OMG!BEHRINGERISDASUXXXXORRZ!!!11 before you get to someone who actually knows what the hell they're talking about. behringer is loud, cheap, and has a very good low end and top end punch. but behringer cabs lack...

    clutch

    great band. saw em live on many occasions. I'll play devil's advocate and say that Robot Hive/Exodus is my favorite. I love the new blues-drenched soul music thing. you can never go wrong with a harmonica and organ solo.

    How does one justify owning several basses?

    resorting to personal attacks is a defensive mechanism when people feel shamed. perhaps from being confronted with their own inadequacies and failings. and my talent is of no concern to you. I am comfortable and happy with my abilities. maybe if you felt the same, you wouldn't feel like...

    How does one justify owning several basses?

    that's a flawed argument. what is a painter with no brush? what is a photographer with no camera? what is a musician with no instrument? what's a jedi with no lightsaber? the tool is what defines our trade and makes it possible. being able to hum basslines doesn't make you a bassist. it...

    How does one justify owning several basses?

    truth hurts, doesn't it? as for bitter, most certainly not. I don't need to overindulge in material excesses to achieve any sense of accomplishment or personal satisfaction. but hey, if you feel like you need to compensate for something else...

    How does one justify owning several basses?

    true, and I'm free to call them consumerist whores. gluttony doesn't apply only to food and drink.

    Converting an Ampeg 810 into.......

    Link Removed just use a 218 PA cab. why you would want to butcher a thousand dollar Ampeg cabinet is beyond me. are you Daddy Warbucks or something? if so, give the damn thing to me.

    How does one justify owning several basses?

    I have my jazz and a crappy dean playmate I keep around for playing on my mother-in-law's porch. doesn't need an amp, thus why I have it. but here on TB, it's damn near a competition. whoever has the most toys wins. because I certainly can't fathom how anyone could justify spending two grand...

    What physical reactions to nervousness do you get before a gig ?

    I have to take a crap usually. couple shots of rotgut patch me up in no time. cause lord knows you don't want to take a dump in a bar bathroom.

    Behringer's new FX................yuck

    weak. and I'm not sure you used enough smilies in that post. I'm not completely convinced you're a 14 year old girl yet. and to all the people screaming "THEFT!", Behringer hasn't lost many of the patent infringement lawsuits against them. most were determined by US courts to be legal...

    Behringer's new FX................yuck

    I take it English isn't your first language but from what I understood, your argument is flawed. you assume Behringer is somehow profiting off small, boutique amp/FX companies, which plainly isn't true. all of their clones are based off of popular models by popular brands that sell well...
