    Trouble cutting through

    I play through a Mesa Subway D800+ and a GK Neo 2 12" cabinet. Head is 800watts at 4 ohms, and the cabinet is 4ohms. I also run a Darkglass Anagram through the FX loop. But the reason I am writing is because I am not cutting through the mix at all. The guitarist of one of my bands plays...

    Fender Duff McKagan model pickup issues

    I decided to take the p bass pickups out and shield them with copper tape, and that stopped the noise.

    Fender Duff McKagan model pickup issues

    My above mentioned bass is having an issue with the pickups. It is a P/J type bass, and it's the P bass pickups that are the issue. They crackle when I play. I didn't notice this until I did a series of outdoor shows 2 years ago during Halloween season at a haunted house. I know it's not the...

    Mesa Subway 212 Ohm rating question...

    I was thinking of buying a Subway 212 to go with my Subway d800+, but I am a bit confused. The cabinet is written to be 4 ohms but the input says 8 ohms. So what I am getting at is, would it run at 4 ohms and get the full 800 watts out of the amp, or would it run at 8 ohms and only get 400...

    Club Trickfish!

    I was just recently introduced to Trickfish speaker cabinets. Had a show Saturday night, not much room in the minivan, and needed to use a friend's TF112. First time playing a 12" speaker with a bass. Hooked up my Mesa Subway D800+ and BOOM! I was completely blown away by the clarity and...

    Best stand for Thunderbird Bass

    I went ahead and bought a Gibson G2 Thunderbird Bass, but of course it won't fit in my stands without touching the floor. I am looking at a Hercules GS412B plus, but am unsure. So can any of you thunderbird players recommend a good stand?

    Fender bass electronics issue

    I have a Fender Duff McKagan deluxe bass. Recently it has been farting out on the E (tuned to C) string, volume raising and lowering type effect as well. I have taken it to the shop twice. The first time they sprayed out the volume pot and sent me on my way. They did not have a bass amp on...

    My Mesa Subway D800+ came today!

    First impression of the Mesa Subway D800+ is WOW! I plugged it in to my Ampeg SVT 810E and turned everything to noon (HPF to around 10) and it sounded great. I did eventually do a little adjusting to the eq and made it fit my sound a bit more. But it didn't take much as you can see from the...

    Question about getting full wattage out of head

    Last night I ordered a Mesa Subway D800+ to run my Ampeg SVT 810E cabinet. My question is, will I have to use both speaker outs to get the full 800 watts out of it?

    Blackstar Unity Elite 700 through an Ampeg SVT 810e

    I just got an Ampeg SVT 810e for some larger shows I will be playing, and need to find a good head to push it. I really like the options of the Blackstar Unity Elite 700, but it operates at 2.67 ohms. Would it be lower wattage at 4 ohms? If you have played this setup, what was your impression?
