I couldn't figure out how best to word the title, so I'll explain. I play bass in a live karaoke band where we just lost our lead guitarist. Our current setup has a click tied to karaoke video content with backing tracks like keys, etc. all run with Reaper. This is going to an audio interface...

It works for quiet playing for sure, but the tone isn't very mid focused. Also it will fart out at slightly higher volume. The speaker in it now is a Celestion G12T-75, which I think the previous owner just slapped it in there to sell it. I got it off of my guitar player in a trade because he...

Maybe I ought to check with Avatar to see what their specs are. It was my understanding that GXXX labeled cabinets are guitar cabs. This doesn't look like it was modified after the fact. No specific budget. Whatever the cost of a 12" speaker may be. And of course I'm willing do any...

I looked at it yesterday on my way out the door and it is for sure larger than 12" cubed. I'll get a solid measurement this evening. The ports are just holes in the baffle. I'm 90% sure that it's a guitar cab, labeled Avatar G112. It has a guitar speaker in it, and a cursory search in the...

Does anybody have any input on this?

I may not be phrasing my search query correctly, as I'm sure there's information on this subject out there on the Google, but everything I turn up involves building a speaker box around a speaker and not the other way around. Is there a program or an easily referenced spec sheet where I can...

I've considered this route too. A combo or powered speaker would be better. I'd like to keep setup as minimal as possible.

It's the rack version into a QSC GX3. I got it before they came out with the amp version. I threw a Korg DTR-1000 in there for good measure

Not worried about carrying the room with what I'm searching. More often than not, I use a 610/SansAmp VT_RM or a Traynor YBA200-2. Just looking for an easy DI rig that doubles on bedroom use. We tend to do once a week acoustic practices to hash out new material or harmonies, usually at the...

Any of these used on loud gigs? Subsequently, just had a look at the ELF 1x10 combo, and that looks to be a contender. I believe I would get a lot more use out of something like that compared to the QSC.

Is it the Headrush FRFR-112. Any downsides to using this on bass?

Added "Other suggestions" to the title. To be clear: I am really interested in the Ampegs. I would certainly like to know if anyone has experience using these in the scenario I laid out. However, any other suggestions are greatly appreciated. I haven't considered a budget, but I'm going to...

I like the QSC. It's a bit on the high side in price. Is there anything at about half the cost that can do the same thing?

If I can go DI to the house and not bring the bass rig I have, then my monitor defaults to whatever the house provides. My general experience is it is a floor monitor that is carrying vocals, and guitar from stage right. Any bass added to that causes the speaker to fart out at any volume...

Yeah I don't know. I'm not entirely convinced I need a 400 watt amp for a stage monitor. I'm open to other options outside of Ampeg, so long as I can maintain that Ampeg sound with the SCR-DI. My main concern is finding something with decent enough bass response that is loud enough for me to...
