I appreciate the responses. I was just curious since it's not a "test" that I'll probably ever be in a position to check in-person. I'm probably restricted to a single 4x10, regardless. The "resonance" was something that I was really curious about. As far as personal "sonic choice"...I...

Curious, are there any sonic differences between an 8x10 and two 4x10s? ...assuming the cabs have the same speakers.

I've been going down the rabbit hole of class A/B vs D. On "YouTube" video comparisons, I can definitely hear a difference. "To me"...it sounds like the "Q" around notes are broader (fatter) with the A/B. I can hear the thickness/weight. Now, does that transfer live?...in my living room? Would...

What makes you think that Rob's using a plectrum on Somersault?

@ Aussie Player...I'm glad you dug it! As far as the studio-tone...probably some dope compressor bringing out all that sparkle and detail. Though the studio tone and the live tone are drastically different, I really do appreciate them both. I'm really a guitar-player/writer that was playing a...

How much do you think a tube pre helps round/warm a tone vs just EQing it? Do you think that a tube (providing it's a good preamp design and not just a light-bulb) helps maintain some clarity and dimension when you start rounding your tone out?

I remember hearing a Nobles demo a while back, and thinking that it sounded really killer. After your comment, I went and looked them up...HOLY poopie they're definitely not giving those boxes away! Yikes!

Thanks for the heads-up...I just listened to a demo of the WD800...granted, just a video, but I see what you're saying...it really did sound thick and sweet! @Sparky Mark ...the ABM600 is certainly feature-rich, and I've also heard from others that it has a really useable EQ. My problem is that...

I definitely hear you...which is why I've really been taking my time. I've got Flatwound (Ernie Ball Cobalts) on it now, and I'm really liking them. Certainly got me closer. I've also got a SansAmp VT bass DI (for direct recording), that I occasionally use as a preamp into the Rumble. I wonder...

I've been Jonesing over this tone for a while now. Robin used the Ashdown ABM600 both on this studio recording and the other live tune; he used it with a 1x15 and a 2x10 in the live show. I believe the ABM600 is class A/B...with big old transformers. Tone starts @ 4:02/4:03... Picks up @...

I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm curious about your experience with these two amps specifically. Do you find the SS of the Ashdown to have more "rounded, weighted, punch?". Is it heftier on the bottom? This seems to be what most people say about SS vs class D...so, I was wondering how...

I've still not change the pickups (as I mostly play my P-Bass)...but I did notice that Bartolini (who made a lot of their pickups) shows the exact measurements on their website. So, you should be able to know one way or another as to whether or not they'll fit...

I've come to realize that my extremely long "nail bed" is producing a tone I don't like. The nail on my index finger is almost to the end of my finger. In fact, if I depress my finger (vertically) on a flat surface...my nail instantly hits. And that's with my nails trimmed all the way. My middle...

Yes, Central Florida...I'll keep Bass Central in mind! I've noticed that sometimes I hear a 5-string into rig and the bottom might be low...but not really "deep" and big...and other times I hear 4-strings and the bottom is HUGE and permeating. What kinds of things might I consider...that might...

So, am I understanding correctly that a more vintage-cab...while it might sound "warm" (with a little less highs and mids)...way also have a bit less low end...then a more "full range" cab? As long as I can EQ the sound I'm after...I can probably just boil it down to weight and price...
