    Does 12's + 15's = phase cancellation?

    I know that 15's and 18's have a problem and they are somewhat similarly sized. Would I have a similar issue with 12's and 15's?

    Using the web as a "band organizer"

    K, two posts today, bear with me. I'm a software engineer who does a little web design on the side. I've made my bands website (Link Removed) but i've been milling over some ideas for a new site for us. As part of that I've been thinking of creating our new site on top of a customized...

    Most successful internet marketing strategy

    Hey people, I do quite a bit of the marketing for my band when it comes to the internet. I've got some pretty good techniques, some work better than others but I was wondering what other peoples experiences were. I've got some more specific questions, I'd love to share ideas with other bands...

    Amp/Preamp EQ Technique

    Is there a good technique for eq'ing your amp if you have a pre-amp? Are there good things to push with the pre-amp and others that are good to push with the amp's eq? Is there a gerenal technique for getting a well rounded eq? (aside from futzing with it for the next 6 months) :hiding:

    managing cabs and phase

    Ok, here's another question for y'all: Say I want to run two 18's or I want to run a 15 and an 18 or some other combo of larger speakers. From what i've read here, the biggest problem with that will be phase cancellation. How does one manage this? Is there a processor that people like to...

    Ken Smith Metal Master Heavy set (.145)

    I've been using these for a couple months now. i'm playing on a 34/35 scale bass (btb 5str) tuned to G# and its worked pretty well. I actually haven't found a thicker set of strings that's readily available... Does anyone else here use these strings or strings of a similar gauge...

    Cover songs and albums

    Hey everybody - my band's written a cover of White Rabbit and wanted to throw it in as a b-side, but we're heavily concerned with the legality of the issue. Do any of you know where to look to find the rules/regulations on covers? I know there's a group called ASCAP or something like that...

    Aguilar OBP3 18V Pre-amp == Amazing

    Ok so I've got an Ibanez BTB 5 string from 8 or 9 years ago (before they switched to basswood and all that). A buddy of mine suggests going with an Aguilar Premp - OBP3. I brought that sucker home last night and holy crap - what a world of difference. Really added that missing piece to the...

    Effects of Biamping

    Ok, I understand the basics. You biamp and you can isolate certain frequencies to a certain cab. Ok sure, but what does that mean in terms of sound/power? Say for example I've got an 18 I'm going to biamp. Ok, so if its not biamped it gets the full range signal but the speaker can only...

    Accugroove 21" vs Bag End 18"

    Ok, so here's my situation, i'm on a 5 string heavily detuned (B# == G# in my world). i'm looking for a real low bottom end, wanna mess with people's pacemakers. For a long time I thought an 18 inch sub was my only option. I've found bag end thanks to a different post. BUt when I was...

    Anyone use 18's?

    I play with a few cabs (1x18, 1x15, 4x10) and I've really learned to love my 18 inch cab. I've got an old ampeg 18inch that i've had for years and bought for 100 bucks. Now i'm looking for something a little better and was wondering what was a good 18inch cab out there. Thanks!

    18v preamps

    getting a street team together

    This very much falls under management. There always seem to be willing people but forming and maintaining a street team are difficult tasks to accomplish, especially when you can't offer much to your team members. How do you guys start and maintain your street teams? What incentives do you...

    Management - Getting exposure through college radio

    Hey has anyone had success getting exposure using this method? Basically the way it works (for those that don't know) is you put together a press kit and send it out. Ultimately hoping that someone will listen to it. Has anyone done this on a small or large scale and gotten a response...
