Hey guys. I've seen threads on what I believe to be this cabinet before, but I wasn't 100% sure. This is the Peavey 4x12 cab I have (I attached the picture). It looks like what a lot of people are calling the 412F from an old Festival series. It sounds great, but I'm going to be getting a...

I'm going to keep practicing with fingers, but this is for use during the time where I get my hand up to snuff.

I'm going to try the original idea of glueing some felt onto my exisiting picks first. I looked at Guitar Center's website and it looks like they only carry two types of felt picks, the thinnest being 2.4 guage, which is roughly 3 times thicker than my current pick. If the gluing method doesn't...

Honestly, I had never even heard of those. I'll look into that now. See why I come here to ask questions?! :bassist:

Hey guys. So I use a pick most frequently, out of comfort and because my fingers aren't very consistent yet, but I feel like on the higher strings, the picks hardness makes me lose the low rumble of my tone. While I work on getting my right hand better, I'm going to take some felt or fabric and...

Definitely does. Just looking at options as I'm going to have to get my own bass "head" (I'm borrowing someone's) and seeing different things on rig rundowns, where they aren't fully explained, sometimes makes it confusing. I just don't like to box myself in and have nowhere to go, ie. Buy a...

So in the case of Chancellor's, he goes into the preamp which then splits his signal to the GK heads, 1 running a clean signal and one running a dirty signal, and then those each go to the respective cabinets? And if that is the case, would he be using the Demeter as his tone shaping preamp and...

Okay, so basically you're just taking the tone from the complete amp and making it stronger so you can use it bigger applications?

Hey guys. Another rookie question, but last time you vets were super helpful. I was watching a rig rundown for Billy Sheehan and he was using some power amps in front of his Hartke HA5500s. Same thing with Justin Chancellor, using a Demeter in front of an amp. Why would you put a power amp in...

Thanks for all of the advice everyone, really. As far as how speakers and the internals of cabs go, I'm a complete newbie. I just shot an e-mail over to LDS, since I've been set straight!!

:eyebrow: They do offer unloaded cabs as well, but it sounds like you guys say pass on them completely?

Atlas told me that they use Celestion Vintage 30s for their cabs. I know those are a classic for guitars. Any idea on the use of them with basses? Can you explain why that is? I was always under the impression that the bigger speakers tended to have lower frequency response, since it to more...

Hey Guys, I'm going to apologize now. I can be a bit long winded in real life, and after typing this out, the internet is no exception. This is my first post on TB, but I've been reading for the past year or so, and I must say, bravo to everyone with their great advice and expertise...
