Sure you can hear it - even if your speakers can't put out the fundamental, the harmonics go up many many octaves. It's only a few semitones lower than a piano and nowhere near some of those old pipe organs with 64' pipesl. That said, I don't crack out an F# (23Hz) very often - the real power of...

Would love some thoughts on this.

I should report back. Got an Acme Low B-2 and am loving it. 31-band external EQ helped get some power to the F# string fundamentals. Thanks again all.

Hi all - I'm currently running a Bass V-Amp Pro (bought after reading this thread) into an Acme B-2 and loving it. However I am getting no joy from the distortion pedal simulations. On each of the 4 different pedals, the unit is only outputting the low part of the split signal (i.e. the...

Thank you all for a very helpful discussion. By the way I should have mentioned - at home I play the bass through a studio monitoring setup that is flat to 35Hz and -6db at about 29Hz. So yes, I'm pretty sure I'm correctly distinguishing fundamentals from second- and third-order harmonics...

Thanks bongomania - I appreciate it. Too many years of training as an audio engineer unfortunately got rid of most of the brain magic for me. I'd be lying if I pretended I could pick the fundamentals all the way down, but I know a 30Hz sine wave when it hits me in the face. Clearly what I don't...

Hi all, I play an Ibanez BTB 6 string tuned F# - B - etc. I'm looking for an inexpensive 1x15 cab that can deal with the low frequencies (F# open is about 25Hz, though realistically I'm looking for a good response from 30Hz up). Essentially I want a cab that will deliver the fundamental...
