    A poll that all members MUST participate in (including lurkers)...

    Yeah, great tools for practicing keeping time when you're first learning -- especially if you're rhythmically challenged! Also invaluable for composing/recording -- especially if going it alone!

    LOL! "...wearing a carpeted left glove, in a vat of cream, with the audience wearing ear plugs."

    Seconded. I think I might know already, but just curious what OP says...

    Bass Gear Good Enough?

    So, the resistance is greater if you're running through the cabs vs. from separate outputs from the amp?

    Bass Gear Good Enough?

    This has confused me, as well. Sometimes I think I've got it figured out, then the next time I consider it I can't remember what I landed on...

    Depends on if it's a metal bar... ;)

    Bass Gear Good Enough?

    I've used an SVT-410 HLF stacked on a SVT-15E for years, and (maybe because of the matched brand?) I've never had phase issues. In fact, from the moment I first added the 15 to my rig, my tone has only become bigger and gnarlier than ever. I remember, my band at the time had just finished...

    Not sure I understand why it would be louder to have uniform drivers than mixed. Wouldn't mixed drivers be more present in the sonic spectrum, giving the impression of more presence?

    Bass Gear Good Enough?

    I've played a ton of Twin Cities gigs and they almost all have house support. You'll be fine.

    Anyone have a Carvin MB15 bass amp?

    That's great to hear! Makes me feel a lot better about my "buy before try" purchase.

    Anyone have a Carvin MB15 bass amp?

    Just ordered mine yesterday, and should be getting it in on Thursday. No more hauling 100lbs of rig to rehearsal, or plugging into the crappy little thing they have laying around there that somehow passes for an amp.
