Bump for price change

Sorry, forgot to mention that! It's 4ohm.

Hello! Unfortunately the time has come to sell my first bass cab: an Acme Low B-2, series II. It's the 4 ohm version. I won't waste time describing it because I'm sure y'all know enough about it. I'm the only owner. One cone did blow, but I replaced it with an OEM replacement direct from Andy...

Pic! Me playing at Libertyfest this summer. Fun gig, but it was _hot_ and the sound was a little... rough.

The Chinese middle class is a lot larger than you'd think. I'm sure Ampeg will find a great market there, especially for the $2000 amps!

Well, post studio report. Went better than expected. I switched up to Sunbeam .105's, and it took almost all of the unpleasant buzzing away. As I said, I like low action for both tone and playability, so it's still got some fret noise mixed in (big Geddy Lee fan), but it's manageable now. I...

How much of an affect does gauge have on neck relief? I switched from pre-installed (no idea what gauge, I don't remember) strings, and have tried out a few different gauges. Most recently light gauge D'Addario Half Rounds. I think this may be a lighter gauge than I had previously, because I've...

Live Dubstep Cover - CollegeHumor Video Particularly, the bass player has some interesting stuff going on. Anyone know why the left hand is fretted? Is that a Zon? What is going on between the neck and bridge pickups? Is the glowing light on his thumb some kind of wireless accelerometer...

I like shootouts, NV cabs, SVTs, and hand-built tube amps. Where would I need to bring my SVT to get involved?

Are you in the Hot Snakes?

I'd say to give the Berg NV610 a good hard look. It's lighter, with good wheels, and well placed handles. Still a big 6x10, but pretty easy to deal with. Some say it sounds better, but that's not the main I reason like it. Not very cheap, though. It's kind of shallow, but I like the way a nice...

Also, how did you mic your drums? They sound great, too.

I think the guitar, while kind of "dark" sounding, isn't really muddy in a bad way. For what you're playing there (contrasting lines, kinda sparse), it works really well for a heavy stoner rock sound!

Can you describe your bass recording signal chain, too? Sounds good.

Any pride about my ability to lift this thing solo vanished as soon as I picked it up for the first time. I will be enlisting any and all help that I can!

I convinced myself that maybe it's some unspoken SVT rule "never use the handles!" so it survived 40 years, then I come along and break the gold rule (and my amp). Yes, I'm somewhat neurotic :) The seller did a full cleanup/restoration on the amp before selling, so afaik all that stuff...

Hello TB. I have recently acquired a 1974 blackline SVT from a fellow TB member. I have never owned an SVT, and I've only ever had 1 tube in an amp before, so this is kind of a new thing for me. I've done some homework, but have some questions... First though, let me say holy ****. That ****...

Have you played at Firehouse 13 in Providence? We may have played a show together there. I remember that amp...

Didn't some Acoustic amps have a fuzz circuit built in?

Weight on the T-40 has never bothered me, for some reason. I don't play epic 3-4 hr sets live, but we do practice for 3.5 to 4 hrs and once I start playing I don't notice it. I will also mirror the sentiment re: electronics. The t-40 isn't especially unreliable in this regard, but it does...

My guess, with the programmable controls, tube simulation, speaker simulation, and digital out, that its most likely a modelling amp.

Is the gain/overdrive circuit similar to the Agro?

Different plug on the power strip, but same outlet? Sounds like bad power is the only common denominator

I'm playing the spot underground Saturday night. Opening up for Ellis Ashbrook's CD release.

There's a post somewhere on TB where he lists the full recording chain for that. I think it involved the aguilar agro and a U5, plus a bunch of other stuff... Great tone! EDIT: Found it! http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f19/recording-bass-dub-trios-another-sound-dying-joel-hamilton-489385/

Here's how I think of it. A speaker cabinet can do two things: Make your bass loud Make your bass sound awesome/different ... or some combination of the two. Some people -just- want 1, some want a combination, some want 2. It's a spectrum. At one end: File:Mike-Gordon.jpg -...

Does the staggering in an NV610 mean it behaves like two stacks of 3x10, instead of 3 stacks of 2x10? So, will the NV610 have better horizontal dispersion than another 6x10 without the staggering? I'm assuming it also has to do with reducing the width of the cabinet...

FWIW, I bet I could get a pretty similar sound on my Sansamp RBI. I think a lot of it is the attack he's using more than the amp itself, so any amp that gives you a little bit of grit should get you there. Or a sansamp in front of just about any amp.

Hey, Rhode Island (PVD) bass player here! Nice T-40...

Here's a live recording. Bad quality, but a similar tone, more saturated:

I've been really geeking out about the bass tone on Street Hassle. Really curious what it is. I can take a guess at Jazz Bass into a cranked SVT (really playing the odds on that one...). Any other ideas or insights?

In my opinion, people make too big of a deal out of the weight issue. I'm a small guy, with a cheap strap, and it the weight never really bothered me through 3 hour practices. Play one, and if you like how it sounds and plays, get it. Don't worry too much about the weight.

I've had a few sound guys who refused to run just mic'd. In that case, you'll be glad to have your own DI that you're happy with.

Thanks for the video Ken! Sounds pretty killer with your P!

I'd like to request that, for the next batch of user videos, someone try hasbeen's suggestions for the overdrive tone. I was also turned off by it, but would very much like to be convinced otherwise :)

There's a delay between uploading a video, and Youtube publishing it (transcoding, distributing to CDN, etc etc)

The B112 is lighter, at least. Fewer components, and it's made out of plastic. Same box dimensions, though.

So... those of us with low efficiency cabs can call it a "feature" when used with the streamliner? :)

Hmm, all very interesting points. The SWR 8x8 looks pretty tempting... I very well may try to purchase it. I'm going to do some more research into the ampeg 4x8 I've been enjoying so much, to try narrowing down specifically what it is I like, maybe 8" isn't necessary for what I want. Thanks so...

Yeah, most of the 8" I found are geared towards being mid drivers. Will need to dig a bit deeper, and maybe look at the characteristics of the 8"ers in the b2 4x8 I liked. Thanks.
