how do the alumitones sound?

i use both... i solo my p pickup and use the j pickup for a thumbrest :D

i tend to solo my neck p'up. my spector has a pj emg combo set. i used to blend the j into the p but, it really didn't make as much of a difference as i like, so i started going full on neck pickup. if i want a midrange growl, i bump my mids up on the eq. p p'ups just sound fat and growly anyway.

this thread is the devil. screw all ya'll for giving me major GAS pains :D:D:D also, thndrstk6, your a total doctor Frankenstein. just browsing around this thread has actually inspired me to finally refinish my jazz and stingray's into some of the fabulous mock-ups you've made. they are all...

line6 bogner 2x12 combo, fbv shortboard, shure sm57. really, that's all any guitarist would need to play just about anything except steve vai covers.

must resist urge to point out how suspect churches really are. on the main topic of the thread, i played a gig last night without FOH just like i do every other wednesday through my 100 watt fender rumble. i bought it for 200 bucks used and at half volume i'm too loud. i play in a...

in my area i have 6 music stores to go to. not a guitar center closer than 2 hours. i have been to guitar center in lancaster and monroeville (near harrisburg and pittsburgh respectivley) but honestly, not impressed with the sales staff at either. when you got a wad of cash in your pocket, it...

i've been using a 100 watt fender rumble to gig with for 2 years. i play around 6 shows a month, and practice once or twice a week. i've never had a problem with it. i've never gotten a bad sound out of it, i run the amps eq flat. i bought it lightly used for 150 us dollars, and honestly, it...

i think if you take that money and check out the used market

i've never had distortion or hiss with my rumble 100... unless i put a distortion box in front of it.

so would placing a tuner after your bass and before the d.i. box. shouldn't you take a tuner anyway? you know... just to make sure your in tune ;)

i wouldn't buy something i don't want. tell your guitarist to buy an ampeg 810 and let you use it if he thinks you need one so bad. i'm kinda going through the same thing with the guitarists in my band. they want me to get an gk and a goldline 810, since that's what their last bass player...

i know a guy locally who used to have an avatar 4x10, and he said it basically fell apart. i don't know much more than that, just that he was gigging with it regularly and i guess the construction quality wasn't that good. he could have got a lemon, though.

wow. so much dislike for zep. i dig zep, but i toke up, too, so maybe that has something to do with it... no... can't be, i usually listen to pink floyd when i'm ripped. hey man, i can respect zep not being your cup of tea. i mean, i hate U2. the band, not you, as in... well, i'm sure you...

yea, my band always has PA support, so i usually only use a 100 watt combo. our drummer has a very controlled style. the only time i couldn't hear myself was when my lead guitarist and i had to share a monitor mix. of course, i couldn't hear the drums either. and the stage was only like 10 feet...

so after all the debate about what exactly "mini" is... if it has to fit in an mg mini cooper, can be taken in and out of a venue in one trip, ect... well, my rig can do both of the above. i consider it mini. it's smaller than the previous bassist in my band's 8x10, and smaller than most guys we...

anyone here play a spector through a trace and possibly some sounds files so we can get an idea of how amazing i'm sure it sounds?

haha, that reminds me of my show saturday night. during sound check i was dialing in my mids to the room. it was the first time we played this joint, and as i was messing with the e.q. my one guitarist looks at me and says, "ew. that sounds like crap!" i go, "well, i don't have it in quite...

i dunno, call me crazy or stupid or whatever. i like nickelback alot. they groove like a bunch of crazy people, and their songs are catchy. nickleback is today's ac/dc. on them "selling out" yea, they did. they made and are going to continue making tons of money playing music for thousands...

thanks. i've been looking at ampegs for awhile now, and personally, the VR seems preeeeetty sweet, even if it was made in vietnam. who cares where they're made? as long as they sound good. unfortunately i don't think the price of one being made over seas reflects well on what i'd actually be...

i know this is going to make me sound stupid... but what are the black rocker switches for above the control panel? i've never really had a chance to sit down with one of these b-e-a-you-tiful heads yet and mess around to find out. sorry to derail this thread... but my curiosity is...

i gig every weekend with a fender rumble 100 combo with a single 15 and a horn. my bass i bought used from a guy and all my effects i bought new. i'll be honest, i'm thinking of getting a nice, new big rig, but i dunno if i really want to. i can tear down in about 5 minutes and carry everything...

heroin can do strange things to people... i should know, i live in heroin city. but seriously, the thing about selling stuff without pics, dude, i got computer. i got a t.v. (actually 2 of them) and i have 2 xbox 360's... i have a printer, drums, guitars, amps, a pa... i do NOt own a digital...

woah woah woah rex brown definatly dosn't play warwicks... :smug: to the llymboko: i love my euro. it's an lx4-35 and sounds awsome. i play in a modern hard rock band and i cut. the fuller sound of the euro is really worth the money compared to the legend. not to mention, the...

wow... i clicked on the first link by the op, and well... i feel dirty... and used... like a 3 dollar hooker in Thailand... how do you get that tone? simple. roll everything including the volume to 0. any bass, any amp... well... it dosn't have to be a bass... and you really don't...

qsc gx series power amps. i love qsc stuff. sounds good, affordable, reliable. if i was you i'd run the line 6 into a gx 3 power amp, and the 2x12 avatar. i think the 2x12 avatars handle 500 watts, and the 4x10 handles a 1000 watts... the gx3 putts out like 425-500 watts into a 4 ohm load. the...

if it twer dead, sir, it wouldn't growl :smug:

thanks for the advice and insight. i think i'd go with the avatar cabs just because of the price... that and everyone here seems to like them. i think i've said before the one bass player in my area uses the bx1200, and if his tone is anything to go by, they're amazing sounding amps. still not...

there is only 1 sound guy in the bars my band plays at that will take the time to mic a bass cab... and guess what... he's a bassist, too! it's all moot, unless you use effects. i'm seriously thinking about this amp, or the bx600. any of you guys with either the bx600 and the bx1200 that...

oooohhhh now i see. i dunno why i couldn't find them on the eminence page. i know avatars are generally liked around here. what can some of you avatar owners tell me about these cabs? i was thinking 2x10 and a single 12.

hey everyone! i was just cruising the avatar cabs page, and noticed that they said for speaker specs and whatnot to visit the eminence webpage, but when i checked out the eminence page, they don't seem to have the same speakers that avatar said they are using. the avatar page says...

i see your points... but i use effects, and prefer to run most of them through my effects loop. delay just dosn't sound right in front of the amp, and neither does my phaser, at least to my ears. right now i have a sansamp pbddi and i use all 3 channels on it, plus the flat sound i get from...

what's the point of having 2 eq's and a contour knob if it's not what the audience hears? i'm not going to buy a fancy shmancy monitor to put behind my bands side drops. if i was going to do that, i'd just get a fender rumble 100 and use it... oh wait, i already do, haha :smug: i would...

let's see 'em! i don't have one, but i'm lookin' to see some eye candy!!

so bottom line is that this amp is worth the low low low low price with the very many features it has? sweet. there is a guy in my area that plays through a carvin bx1200 and i do believe his tone is really nice. considering he plays spectors (as do i) kinda makes me want this bad boy more and...

nice sega, hahaha

mmmmm 2 6x10s. very pants flapping indeed! i'd kill to be able to haul that kinda speaker config around :bawl: but alas, my band mates would kill me... at best!!

i've always tried to use effects to thicken up my bands overall sound, add a slightly trippy vibe, or just make the bass more in your face than normally. i didn't go with a multi first, but right now, i kinda wish i would have. so if the option is available for you, i'd suggest it. i went...

i use my micro pog so my bass sounds like and 8 string, mostly. i have the low octave about half blended, the upper octave about 3/4's of the way, and the dry full up. i use it to make my bands sound bigger, thicker, fatter and fuller. not to mention when i have it kicked on in little solo bits...

... i wish i had a bongo :bawl: but it's ok... i have a spector :D
