When playing live you just have to roll with the punches and just expect your sound to change every venue. Live equipment is all about versatility. you almost never will get "your" tone at every venue or at least not using the same settings you have to be very flexible and sometimes you need to...

in the discription from dimarzio's site it says the split P was designed to compensate for how midrangy the 1 pickup P sounds and extend the bass and trebble to make it sound more full sounding. so it sounds like it was made to enhance the good reduce the bad.

i like emgs for "organic" sounds

mesas have seemed very bright and slightly nasaly to me with eq ran flat so expect to have to deal with that. but they are pretty solid cabs i love how the housing for the cab is so close to the speaker so the cabs arent unecisarrily big they make the cabs as small as possible.

i must be the only person who has had a good experience with behringer ***? i have a 120w 1x12 practice amp and yeah its not pro quality but omg that thing is a tank. ive done ALOT (50+) small gigs with it (highschool gyms, marching band in the pit, marhcing band in the stands stuff like that )...

other 8x10s i like is basson and a particular GKone but i forgot wich model it was

yeah i suggest a used ampeg 810e i got mine for only $550 gc wanted 750 and i flashed a few hundred dollar bills to the salesman and he got the manager to ok it then had them put it on lay-away and picked it up 2 weeks later

i bought my ESP B405 without playing it first but i had a good idea what it would be like. i really liked the sound of the schecter elite 5 but the emgHZ P'ups threw me off also the b405 had neck-through-body for only $150 more i tryed the ibenez SR555 and the bariloni pickups diddint do it...

what about a dimarzio split P? or do you want like a classic sound? still not sure what you are after

yeah you might just need a more expensive wireless =(

try running your bass in 18volt that will add alot of balls to your sound and is REALLY simple can find all the things you need to do it at radio shack

im kinda thinking the jazz would be something special. not too many people will buy theese and would be easy to get rid of if you diceded to. plus they already have the blocks you want i couldent imagine justifying 300 bucks for that when the fender comes stock with it.

he talks about his setup here http://www.bassplayer.com/article/high-fire-/May-2008/35685 he uses some kind of gibson or dean with humbuckers like on a thunderbird

P basses get pretty hummy if you are useing alot of volume and gain. i had to redo my P-basses ground before because it was shocking my hands. you should double check that. it only takes 10 mins to replace so it is sorta a "beter safe then sorry" type thing

damn thats a pretty color! wish i could pick it up unloaded just with the gold pickup cover w/ out bridge. thats odd it looks like the bridge has the thru body option but the body has no holes in the back. i cant buy it tho i blew all my christmas money on random stuff and early valentines...

the only advantage is that it is safer from crashes. and you can disconect it and take it with you. performance wise, internal hardrives are better. (unless it's in a laptop that has a slower hard drive but i was compareing it to a desktop PC)

i want the RBI because it is like my sansamp bass driver but with the mids not scooped out quite as much. and far more versitle. ive never heard much of the RPM from what i understand it is more of a stand alone preamp versus a sound soplimenter/additive.

ive heard that wen you turn the tweeter off it sounds round like an ampeg and when you have the tweeter on it has a hifi tone similer to a mesa but slightly more vintage feel. but i dont have one so this is just assumptions i have made from reading others. you should search AVATAR in the...

do what i did when the band starts playing. presume to doodle and play Super Mario brothers. when nobody notices THEN you know you need a bigger amp. if evreyone notices politely ask them to turn down. generally you need 4x the power of the guitars but a 450watter could get ya thru

because my 8x10 is so loud it doesent need to be miked up!! ... in all seriousness the multiple speakers gives you a different tone. and the power brings out alot of the good chracteristics of bassamps not usually heard on lower powerd amps. you should bring that tube halfstack to a gig...

^^^ ampeg manufactures cases specificly for thier products you have to order it off thier main web-site.

wow i was in a HUGE hurry to make this thread and did not proof-read ... misspelled thread name .. ouch my name spelling is an inside joke with someone btw I think i'm going to take the grill off to check and get to the botom of this for sure. i'm tired of being like OCD about this issue.

rack mount it!! what amp is it? if it is the kustom groove 1200 then you buy a rack case if it is 15in deep it should be able to fit in a shallow case wich would help portability. hopw this helps

the fender one? or just any one? the fender one YES any other one you have to check the specs of the cab and make sure the RMS handleing of the cab meets or exceeds the power output of the amp at 8 ohms

7 speakers instead of 8x10 and if they were neo drivers i can see how they can be that light

you should set up your gain to as high as you can get it while still sounding clear (probably before 12oclock and putting up the master for valume i think this is generally the way 12" bass speakers are because ive heard several 12" bass seakers and they seam to do this

if was famous and had alot of money i would get an 8x10 put it on it's side ontop of 2 of those. never played on one but it sounds intense! where are you planning on buying it? it's kindof a reare find (i think)

if your combo is already 2ohms your out of luck. the amp should have a thing under the extension cab output saying "EXTENSION OUTPUT #OHMS MINIMUM" (#=whatever it says)

have you tried WITHOUT the RBI? just plug your bass strieght into the amp? have you uded the RBI on a different amp? have you pluged the RBI into the amp input (basicly just useing the power amp portion of the amp using the RBI as the preamp) why dont you put the RBI into the PRE FX loop...

i probably will be playing on my PoS behringer combo in the dorm while weeping at the dustcover on my 8x10 and avatar 2x10

well i recomend the Ampeg B2RE it will excentuate the hi-fi natureo f the avatar

peavy just released neo cabs maybe you should switch to those? it sounds the same as the TVX series ones

any particular artist/band/sound you would like to model your sound after?

also without the rack it is exposed to more air and what's worse wind if your outside. also rackmount helps you keep all of your gear cables,a few pedals, and rack gear. it wouldent make any sense to have a whole rack and your amp outside the rack

^^dont think we will find too many used the bass just came out well this thing is totally different from anything available from fender right now. i like the looks and the i cant wait to play it to check out the tone. i'v been looking for a passive bass for a while (i want the ESP...

a good compressor is a good tool to have. some people use it all the time others like it there to help them in tight spots. a power conditioner helps protect your gear and organizes your wireing. a BBE sonic maximizer is a very great tool as well. you could also add a graphic EQ! in...

i personally love the SVT3 tone! i set evrything flat and it just sounds amazeing to me and it only gets better with some tweeking so i recomend the SVT3

ampeg.com for specs on the BA500 go to the BA series. RMS Power Output: 350-Watts with Internal Speakers RMS Power Output: 500-Watts with Extension Speakers LF Driver: 2 x 10" Speakers HF Driver: 1" Compression Driver with Level Preamp: Solid-State Power Amp: Solid-State Tone...

ok i have the Ampeg 8x10e and i frequently put my ears to each of the speakers to be sure all of the speakers work. does anyone else do this? is there a better way to check? (without pulling grill off of cab) because i know it is probable that i can have my ear up to the speaker but i could...

Ampeg sound is "round", im not sure exactly how to describe it other than round, warm, and natural. the ampeg has like it's own tone it's an entity in itself, wich is why i love it. one is not "better" than one another they are bolth amazeing! it is all up to personal preference and style...
