    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"

    Yea, i'll probably use a solution that's 100% integrated with whatever CMS I go for. I'll probably pick one that's in python (probably zope based) and use MySQL for a database. Other things I'll be looking for are the momentum in the CMS' community. Ideally i'll work it out such that no one...

    Using the web as a "band organizer"

    Actually funny that you mention CMS systems, that was kind of the inspiration. I was looking through one of the Zope derivatives (Python programmer here) and noticed that it had a lot of great features and plugins. I thought - "hell, i could put this together without killing myself, could be...

    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...

    In my situation, tell me my best 4x10 cabinet:

    i've read mixed reviews on the mesa cabs out on the net but had always had a feeling that mesa produced incredible cabinets/heads. How does that stack up to eden's high end 4x10 or the ampeg 4x10hlf?

    Amp/Preamp EQ Technique

    k so i've got an 18V obp preamp in my bass. Given your faq its got volume but i imagine the gain is fixed on the preamp. I also have tonal controls (Bass, treble, mid, where the mid is a push pull pot with a mid cut). The way I lookat it is like, I can control all this stuff on my bass, I...

    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:

    Re-engineering my SVT4 Pro Cab selection

    Ok guys, i've been asking a lot of questions lately and well... I think i've basically gotten to the point where i'm asking myself what i can do to improve the tone. I've been toying with a lot of possible configuration ideas but so far I'm not sure I'm happy with anything, so here I am...

    Well, looks like Metallica's new album is going to sound like crap

    as much as i'd like to respect metallica I dunno, they aren't the metallica I grew up with. Its not just their music but its them, its their values, its their motive... that's the stuff I can't get behind anymore.

    New bands first gig, already talking about moving

    uh, you played one show. a.) It takes time to build a following b.) People get into your stuff more when they know it c.) If you play to the wrong crowd, people probably won't be that into you. d.) Seriously - considering moving after one show? Maybe you should consider cross promoting...

    Ampeg SVT 4 Pro

    i've got a 4 pro, i've had one problem with it maybe 3 years back but aside from that its been solid for the better part of 6 years (and i drive that sucker hard). Good tone, lots of knobs to tweak your sound, plenty of ways to configure it. I think its a good head but I don't have...

    What kind of bassist are you?

    i just do what's best for the song, typically that's a groove. Every once in a while i'll slip in a solo but usually i just keep it to fills when i think it will make the song better

    Any tips for finding and running a band IN COLLEGE?

    +1 to craig's list. That's how I got into several bands until I knew enough musicians in the area to start getting phone calls. Its going to be tough finding people in college who have the same agenda as yuo but it can be done. Also note that school will get in the way for you too - if you...

    Help me with my rig - drop C tuning

    I've got an ampeg 4x10 + 1x15 setup i've used for years. I don't remember the model numbers specicially but they are decent mid quality cabs imho. They each include a horn, metal grate, i don't think ampeg specifically makes these anymore but i'm sure you could find some. I got mine maybe 5...
