    Reggae Bassists Club!!!!

    Greetings and respect to all here. Count me in as well. I'm pretty new to TB, and I don't play in a band yet, but the reason I ever considered getting a bass guitar was to play reggae bass. To me, reggae and its relatives provide one of the finest expressions of the enjoyment of life. It doesn't...

    Carvin B1500 with Acme Low B Cabinets

    Good to bear in mind, thanks. While the debate may rage on ad nauseum, discerning newbs like myself can still benefit from reading the relayed knowledge and experiences which inform differing opinions. I agree that good chaff sorting skills are important though.

    Carvin B1500 club

    I live in Australia at the moment, but I'm moving back to NZ in a couple of months. I decided to buy the B1500 online in NZ, so it'll be there waiting for me when I get back. Yeah, it can be a little backwards in some ways, try getting any of the top quality amps and cabs there...

    Carvin B1500 with Acme Low B Cabinets

    I also have a B1500, and I'm currently in the process of looking for seriously bass heavy cabs to pair with it. After searching through a lot of reviews and threads (like this one), I really like what I've read about the Acmes despite what looks like the relatively high frequency of people...

    Mesa cabs for b1500?

    Ok, that makes it clearer to me now, thanks for explaining it Richard.

    Mesa cabs for b1500?

    Sweet as, thanks. I will definitely check them out for myself, but it'll be hard for me to do so until I return to NZ in a couple of months. For now I'm just trying to get a rough idea of what bottom heavy cab setups I could use to get the most out of the b1500. Richard, I just read some...

    Mesa cabs for b1500?

    Do you mean stack a 1200w and 600w together? I like that idea too, does anyone know how the 410 and 215 sound together compared to, say, the 412 or 1200 alone?

    Mesa cabs for b1500?

    Hi, I recently bought a Carvin b1500, which can deliver 1900w @ 2ohms. I'm looking for a couple of good 4ohm cabs to run through it and I reckon I'll end up going with Mesa Boogie, since there doesn't appear to be much choice for 4ohm cabs of other brands where I live. I'm under the...

    Carvin b1500, which cabs

    If I were to run a brx104neo through it and I wanted to add a 4ohm 115 to that as well, what would you recommend?

    Carvin b1500, which cabs

    I've also just bought a b1500, and I'm wondering what cabs I could use to get the kickarse deep lows for reggae and dub while retaining some clarity. I like what I've read about the brx104neos, and I'd like to add another cab like a 115, 118 or 212, but I don't know which would be best or how...

    I just bought a b1500 yesterday (my first non-practice amp). I can't wait to test it out. Pity I have to wait 2 months before I can even see it :bawl:

    decent, powerful amp for reggae/dub?

    Thanks again guys. I like what I've read in various reviews of the Carvin b1500 and it sounds like it might be the amp for me. I can get one pretty easily in my hometown too, which is a bonus. I also like the idea of matching it with an oen 18 and a 210 or 212 perhaps. Your input's pointed me in...
