If you like it....F___ everyone else. Must be comfortable & pleasing to your ears. Personally, I like changing my tone for different tunes, so I switch between MIA 86 Fender P-Special, a Ric 4003, & a T40. Most sound guys I talk to prefer the tone of my Ric over the other 2.

I started doing the same once it was evident my band was staying a power trio. Already had an M1 Korg & later found a guy in Missouri that builds bass pedals from old organs and bought that relatively cheap. You can check "Basic 13" on Ebay. This helps me fill rhythm sections that would...

These two posts pretty much sum it up. But, no harm in checking it out since you already have the cabs. As stated above, either a 2 ohm capable amp or a 2x4 ohms capable amp. If you try to run your 4 ohm rated amp @ 2.6 ohms you will inevitably fry the amp. Any suggested amps under $500 that...

My amps are all rated anywhere from 280-300w @ 4ohms. I run a 215(200w @ 4ohm) or occasionally a Crate 1810(200w@4 ohms). I recently acquired a GK goldline 410(400w @8ohms) from a friend and I would like to run a combined 610/18 for our bigger venues. A tech I talked to said I`d be looking at...

I think it would be really sweet if they didn`t show up for their induction(if it happens). The RRHOF should change their name to the Pop HOF. They could justify inductions of Madonna & ABBA, then. Pisses me off that it took THIS long, but at the same time, YES SHOULD already be in.

I`ve found that if you have a good sound man & PA, I have absolutely no problem running my bass into a Sansamp Bass Driver DI directly to the board thru the monitors. Talk about lightening the load!!!! Can go to a gig with nothing but my bass case.

Had voltage issues this weekend(as did the whole band) so I didn`t come up with any solutions. Playing a newer venue Oct.6 so I`ll feel better about trying things out there. Meanwhile, gonna keep experimenting at home until then with heavier speaker cable. Getting some promising results running...

[ What kind of cable are you using to the speaker cab? Is the volume of the Bass Driver unity gain with the output of your bass when in bypass mode? You`re starting to speak French to me. Are you asking if my gain is comparably the same whether the BDDI is engaged or bypassed? If so, not so...

Pre: 10-12 oclock,(usually start @10, end up around 12.) Boost: 1 oclock Post: 3 oclock. Generally run tone controls near 12 oclock & do most tonal tweaking with the bass I`m playing first, then with BDDI.

BRand Spankin` New.

Agreed! Bad news is the Crown is gone. Just have the 2 GK`s & the Ampeg B2R. Seems I have more to consider. My current settings for my BDDI are as follows: Level: 2-3 oclock, Blend: 5 oclock(full), Treble: 11 , Bass: 1, Drive: 10, Presence: 2. Outputs are padded & ground connected.

I want to make sure I understand your setup. You`re sending an effected signal via xlr to PA, sending an uneffected signal to your GK, and a final effected signal to a Peavey power amp, correct? Do you use this setup for small venues also? I rarely play venues where one amp won`t suffice (I`m a...

I`m trying an experiment tomorrow night. Gonna run from bass to BDDI(battery power) into samson compressor/noise gate, into fx return. Played last night at home and experienced no problems after 2 hours at stage volume. If that works, I`ll try it again with the ac adaptor. Beginning to think the...

This issue occurred at 3 different venues.
