typo! i have a 4.5XL not 2.5. but it's still probably just not enough. and i hear you on mids. i'm not a fan of mids. but i do realize too much low steals the juice. what a headache!

No matter what I do, I just don't seem to be able to truly keep up with the output of the other band members. The drummer is always asking for me to turn up or point my speakers more toward him and I often have trouble hearing myself in the mix. (practice situations, we're fine at gigs of...

what's this about? are you accepting NOOBS? :)

Thanks for all the information already! Wow. Ouch! Burn! Heh, yeah it's not top-of-the-line. Well, it's actually top shelf of Hartke, compared to their VX or Transporter series. Sounds decent on its own. So the redirection here is, then, cabinet construction? While many of the cabs...

I've always installed sturdy rubber swivel wheels on all my cabinets. I can throw my rack on top and just roll into gigs with extreme ease. Novel idea, huh? However, I believe I'm shortchanging myself in another category. Despite the nods from other bassists, with that "hey, that's a...

i agree too. got the 4.5XL years ago used and then i stopped even thinking about buying another cabinet. i didn't even realize it was their top shelf line at the time. cabinets make such a big difference on your sound...

Hi, my name is Gary! I play in a hard rock cover band and am, like most others, always looking to improve myself, my rig and become more knowledgeable. I will offer help when I'm sure of my information and offer opinion when it's asked for. I hope to collaborate more with my band...
