It's probably been two years or more since I've played on a regular bass-is;) so I'm considering downsizing my rig. Here is what I have: GK 412 Neo Cab GK 2001RBP Preamp (With foot switch) Carvin Power Amp (I think it's 1500 watts) I'm incredibly out of practice in terms of what brands have...

First off, its not one of my basses, its a guitar. The guitar is a Schecter Damien 6 (black). I want to spray paint the casing that borders the pickups (its just plastic) and the 2 knobs (one for volume, one for tone) white. I took them off and I know is won't damage anything. However, I was...

I'm usually a bassist in a band, but last month I bought a 6 string electric (Yes, I have sinned) because I always had so much fun borrowing my friend/rhythm guitarist back up guitar. The month before that I bought a Line 6 UX1 interface and I have been doing some song writing. The question...

I know alot of people here arn't metal heads, but there a rather famous metal band (just releasaed their 5th album, they have a live DVD and have done multiple world tours). Anyways, my band has a chance to play a side stage at one of their concerts. Its a big tour, about 8 signed bands are on...

I've been saving my money for a while now. I have about $600 saved up and I'm trying to decide if I should get a nicer bass, a guitar (I prefer writing music and riffs on guitar, and right now all I have is an acoustic), or should I expand my rack. My current rig is.... Ibanez GSR200 (Love...

I'm considering getting a new bass (or a PS3, lol) and right now I'm not sure which one to go with. I own a Dean and an Ibanez SR200. I love the SR necks. I've played some Schecters, just not the Omen series. Whats a Scheter Omen neck fell like. Also, how heavy is it, it looks like it might...

Usually its when I play the low c# (yes an odd drop tuning). I didn't know a preamp could clip. I know power amps can. What causes it and how can I prevent it?

Just got off my first show with my new rig. A GK 412, A GK 2001RBP, with a Carvin DCM1500. WOW, this thing thunderd. The DCM was bridged and at half volume, and the preamp master was at 11 oclock and the channel A/B levels were also only at 11. The set up shook the house. No problems at all...

My GK Preamp went into protect at practice yesterday. Its never done that before. Volume was at about 1/4 and so was the level. Also the clipping light kept flashing when I played low notes really loud. The power amp kept working fine. When I turned the -14DB PAD on it was fine, but while my...

This is my first time posting pictures, so hopefully this works. These are cell phone pics but I think they turned out well. Live Rig: Gallien Krueger 2001RBP Carvin DCM1500 Gallien Krueger Neo412 GK Foot Switch Home Rig (and studio rig for the Demo CD): Ashdown Superfly Carvin 2x10...

Right now my rig is a GK 2001RBP and a Carvin DCM1500 in a 3space gator rack. Since I'm going to start gigging a bit more I figured I should get a bigger rack to fit a power conditioner, a wireless unit, and a blank spot (hard to get to the foot switch plug). That would be a 6 spacer, but now...

My Carvin DCM1500 went into protect mode when I was jamming with my band last night. Not sure why, I bought it used with a GK 2001RBP. The tone is great but that bugged me that it did that. And it did it multiple times. At first I thought it might have been because me and one of my guitarists...

Invalid Link Removed 2500 watts! 23 Lbs! The power section is SS, the pre is tube. This thing looks sweet, plus its only a 2 spacer.

If I bridge my power amp so its putting out 1200 watts at 4 ohms, could I plug 2 8 ohm cabs into it, plugging the first one right into the power amp and then running the second as an extenion speaker. If I did this would it be at 4 ohms, or would it still be at 8?

For example, could I hook a head up to a 2x10 and then add a power amp to power a seperate 4x10 (or what ever cab).

Right now the cheapest 412 I can find is the GK Neo 412, its $900. Aggie and Mesa make a 412, but there pretty spendy. Are there any others out there that are good and not to expensive.

GK 2001RBP Preamp Carvin DCM1500 Power Amp (1500 watts bridged 4 Ohms) GK Neo 4x12 (1200 watts @ 4 Ohms) Would this rig be sound good (for hard rock and metal)? Would It be loud enough (venues of 100-200 un-miked, 200-500 miked)? I think the 4x12s will get good mids (which I love) and still...

For experience I know Behringers Bass and Guitar amps are...less than great. I never had problems with reliability, but tonally it frankly sucked. But somewhere I heard they make reliable power amps. Im look for a power amp that puts out 1000-1200watts per side @ 4 ohms. So far I know of the...

Ok, so I had $1600 saved up for a new rig, enough for a Carvin B1500 and a Carvin BRX4.10, which I had wanted for a long time. I was about to buy it when my singer called me up to go to Sioux Falls (about an hour away) to get more PA speakers for a show we were throwing. This was 2 day before...

First off, we are all juniors in high school (excpet our singer who is a freshman in college) and we are starting to progress as musicians. We have a 4 song demo out and we are selling shirts. We live in a place where metal bands have a tough time getting a show, much less a good sized crowd...

Going to buy a Carvin B1500 and a Carvin BRX4.10 cab. Head pushes 1250 watts @ 4ohms (cab is 4 ohms and 1200 watts). Any last minute suggestions? Any reason not to buy? Any reason I'll be wishing I already have it? Big investment for me (to a 16 year old $1230 is ALOT!!). Also side note...

Can I do this, I have a 4 ohm Carvin 2x10 that can handle 400 watts, our power amp can push 550 watts, not sure about the ohms, we also have 2 100 watt speakers. We blew our monitors (2 really cheap 100 watt 1x10s) last night cause we rocked so hard (or sucked so bad;)). I wouldnt ask this but...

At one time i heard they didnt. but ive also heard they do. I found a head on there that i want, problem is thats its in New Jersey and Im in MN. Or if nothing else do you think they would ship to a Guitar Center close to me for pick up? Please help me with this.:bassist:

:hmm:So I have an ashown superfly thats making wierd sounds. Its only when i turn it on, the meter that shows how much output its putting out peaks and crackles. It might pop 1,2 or 3 times then its fine. Recently I just turn the volume all the way down so when it pops its soft and it wont hurt...

I made a post a few weeks ago called Carvin Rig vs. Hartke. Ever since the wonderful users of Talkbass gave there advice I've had my heart set on a Carvin. Recently I found a used GK 1001RB-II for $450 (and it comes with a case). Heres the rigs. Carvin Rig: B1500 ($650) and Carvin 8x10 BR810...

Its 700 watts with 50 watts to the horn. It doesn't mention ohms though. So does the ohms matter for out put, as in, would it be louder with a 4 ohm cab, 8 ohm cab or 2 ohm cab? :confused:

I know a head has both, just wondering if any one used a seperate power amp and pre amp.:bassist:

So, which rig should I go with. I play in a metal/rock band. Im not a tone or tube freak and I get my distortion our of a pedal. Heres the rigs. Carvin: B1500 ($650) and Carvin 8x10 BR810 ($550) total= $1200. The head puts out 1250 watts @ 4ohms and the cab is 1200 watts @ 4 ohms. I have a...

Would this work. My Combo is a Behringer Ultrabass 90 watt pile. MY head is an ashdown superly and a my cab is a carvin BR210. Could I take the head/contrl part of my combo to use the remaing speaker as a cab?

The head is an Ashdown Superfly (2x250 watts @ 4 ohms). I have a Carvin 2x10 which is 400 watts @ 4 ohms and I want to add a Carvin 1x15 which is 600w @ 4 ohms when I get more money. My question is, is will having all the extra power available on the cabs be good to ensure I dont blow speakers...

And a black head stock. I just love the tele shape.

Amp: Ashdown Superfly head (2x250 watts @ 4ohms) Carvin BR210 2x10 (400 watts @ 4ohms) (it has a horn) Boss Bass Overdrive Pedal Basses: Ibanez GSR200 Dean Metalman ML I'll get a 2nd 2x10 when I get more $$. Also, I know my basses are low end, but I've only been playing for a year...

How much do they run for used. Im not a vintage freak (not that owning vintage gear isnt awesome, its just really expensive). And what other brand would you compare the neck to? Fender, Dean, Ibanez, Ernie Ball?

Hey, my band is going to record a demo in a studio and the guy has a Stingray 5 and a 4 string fender jazz bass. Im wondering if i should use either of these in the studio or should i use my dean metalman ml (a 200 dollar bass). We play metal so as far as tone goes i use my boss bass overdrive...

My Ashdown Superfly has a 2x250 watts on 4 ohms, it has to be 4 ohms i think. What would happen if I ran it at 8 or 2? And what are some good 4 ohm cabs that are 250-300 watts. Lower end perferably, Im a high schooler.:bassist:

I thought I read some where that you can use a power amp (like for a PA system) to power you cabs. Would I just need a power amp and cabs, or would i need a mixer and an FX processer and all that crap. Or since I already have a head (an ashdown super fly, which is 2x250 watts at 4ohms)...

Just bought an Ashdown Superfly. Its 2x250watts at 4 ohms, so I'd need 2 4 ohm cabs for max power i think. Im going to be a junior in high school, and im a bagger at a grocery store, so me budget= low. heres my ideas. Invalid Link Removed then i would add this. Invalid Link Removed...
