So, after having read this entire thread (and getting a science based headache) I have a question about my choices in gear. I recently purchased two of those new Acoustic BN cabs with the Neodymium speakers - the BN210 and the BN115. Here is the spec page: Invalid Link Removed I am using the...

My Big Al 4H arrived yesterday. Took it to church last night and gave the run through. It is A LOT milder in it's tone than my Sterling 4H. In some ways I was bummed, in other ways relieved - no sense in having 2 basses with the EXACT same sound. I was interested in the BA mostly for the...

I play in church and I use a Line 6 Bass POD. I have an AVIOM mixer hooked to my monitor so I can create my own monitor mix. I have never had an issue being heard or hearing myself. I just bought a Markbass Tube 800. That thing is SOOOOOO loud. I could never imagine needing it in church. I...

That's what I figured. Like I said, I LOVE the tone, but also need some grind. I have a Sansamp, so I will do that for the thrash gigs. Makes sense.

After "talking" with everyone yesterday, I went out and bought a new rig. I am pretty pumped overall. The overall sound is something I find very pleasing and I think the amp will satisfy my playing needs across many genres. Having said that, though, it brings me to a question that I may...

cool everyone, thanks! MAJOR update and change - I went to GC tonight and ended up with a Markbass Little Mark Tube 800, and brand new Acoustic Neodymium cabs (a 2x10 and a 1x15). They sounded AWESOME with the Markbass and my Sterling. The 2x10 is 600 watts and the 1x15 is 500 watts. I am...

As of this evening it looks as if I am going to get an Ampeg SVT4Pro and an Avatar B212.

AHHH, cool. That makes sense. PS - as a newb I don't wanna push hot buttons!!

Life would be SOOOO much easier if it were "good." I basically did a search today to try to get as many answers to my possible questions as I could, and found this: Search Results for Query: 410/115 combo | TalkBass.com Within it spoke rather adamantly about 4x10 and 1x15 cabs as not being a...

Cool. So basically I lose modularity and that's it. I gigged as a lead guitarist for 20 years, so MOST of the concepts are the same regarding ohms. The only thing that boggles my mind and has me perplexed (even after multiple readings) is the "4x10 and 1x15 combo is bad." I trust those that...

Hi all. I am pretty new to gigging bass. I am using a borrowed rig, and after doing some reading today it seems that the cab set up I am using is not ideal. Here's the current rig: Line 6 Low Down 400 SA 4x10 + SA 115 It belongs to the singer of my band. He offered it to me for $500, which...

Hello everyone! My name is Mark and I recently switched from being a gigging lead guitarist (31 years playing, 20 gigging) and part time bassist (mostly recording) to a full-on, gigging bassist. In June I joined a thrash metal band called "Toxic Shock." So far I am really digging it. In...
