    Strings?

    Just a quick question, anyone know a website where they sell strings but at a sensible price, I'm talking like not over £15. I'm a fan of the Ernie ball strings the slinkys and the cheapest I've found is at £14 so thats not too bad. I know of Stringbusters.com thats a great site, just wondering...

    whats better?

    I think I'm going to settle with the 2x12, I've gone out and tried some 2x10's and one 2x12 (the only had one) and i think the 2x12 sounded better to my ears. But thanks for the advice and input guys :)

    whats better?

    I'd like to stick to a company name/brand I know of to be honest, I've gone down the route trying name out I've never heard yeah their Pro's but I just thought they were terrible amps/cabs so I don't want to make the same mistake twice here.

    whats better?

    I know its a huge decrease in volume but due to car troubles and not playing big venues anymore I reckon a 2x12 would suit me for any gig really or I can just bust out my 4x10 if not. Yes I know the bigger the speaker the more volume but my question was which is better tone wise? 10's are great...

    whats better?

    I've got around £280 for a cabinet, a TC 2x10 is about £250 and the TC 2x12 is around £280 last time i checked (this is for the old models not the new £500 models) they both are exactly the same inside just different looks basically.

    whats better?

    Yeah I'd like to stick to that sort of size and style, I'm not a fan of 15's so something easy to carry around like a 2x10/2x12 would be ideal.

    whats better?

    I'm down sizing my rig I've got a 8x10 (which is going) and a 4x10, I'm looking for something quick and easy to move around. So, I'm stuck between getting the TC 2x10 or the TC 2x12, which is better sound wise? A 2x10 would have more bottom end I'd imagine and the 2x12 would have more of...

    Pc recording.

    Basically I'm after a free, downloadable software for PA which I can use as a bass pre-amp. Something to play through the PC with headphones it to play along with music, not fussed about using it for recording just something to act as a little amp in my PC to play through without any play lag...

    Worth it?

    Speaker wise isn't a problem I already own a 8x10 and 4x10, the two 2x12 cabinets were for a change to scenery tbh, so is this head worth it or not? I've found one at half the retail price thats what got me interested in TC to start with.

    Worth it?

    A friend of mine who's using the head in question says its plenty loud enough and the 236W rating on the website is the amount through a 8 Ohm cabinet and its the full power through a 4 Ohm cabinet, so it just depends on what Ohmage cabinet I'm using with it.

    Worth it?

    I just looked on the TC website and it does say it'l only put out 236W you are correct it'd obviously be enough power behind it to gig with and definitely DI record with in a studio. Going back to gigging with it, would the 2x12 be enough for it? I've always gigged with either a 4x10 or an 8x10...

    Worth it?

    Well I didn't think one would be enough seeing as the amp is 450 watts and the cab is rated at 250watts power handling? Or am I wrong?

    Behringer 8x10? Crazy right?

    Yes its a Behringer forum so calm down before the bashing comes. Basically wanted to mention that I was able to buy the Behringer 8x10 bass cabinet for only £100 a bargain in my opinion. Yes its heavy as hell 176lbs but I just leave it at my local for band practice and gigs there. Right...

    bust strap button :(

    I lent out my P styled bass to a friend for a practice and the strap button came loose and the strap came off then, the bass hit the floor arse first but the strap button went into the body itself! >.< painful blow. So any ideas how to get the strap out and repair it back to its original...

    1/4? or speakon?

    I've got a new head and cab, the head is rated at 550 watts at 4 ohm's which I'm getting the full power from and I've read that if you have a bass head which is rated at over 150 watts 1/4 jack cables aren't the best for the signal to the cabinet? Due to it causing the cabinet harm? So with...

    Combining Cabs

    soo I take its a bad idea to combine the two then? Seeing as the 4ohm cab would be getting double the power from the amp? or would it be only the full 550 watts and the 8 ohm cab getting the 300 watts? I read the manual for the bass head and it only mentions running at 4ohms (550 watts) and 8...

    Combining Cabs

    I've bought a new bass amp a Bugera BVP550, 550 watts into 4 Ohm's, which I'm running through a Peavey 4x10 8 Ohm cabinet rated at 750 watts, so I'm getting at a guess 200 to 300 watts as i said only a guess. I'm posting because I've been offered a Behringer 4x10 Bass cabinet ( Invalid Link...

    New Amp

    I have a very low budget so I'm obviously limited to what I can buy bass gear wise, so I've found these two heads which tempt me to buy them. I'm in a covers band so I need something which can change style easily and quickly if needed. So I've found these two, just wanted to know if anyone...

    100 watt enough?

    I'm only asking the question because its cheap for the two about £160 so its a good deal tbh and I've got a 4x10 with a 450watt head and its just too heavy to drag about for small venues so I'm after a small rig.

    100 watt enough?

    The cab is fitted with the celestion's which are able to handle bass guitars being played through them, i know all about basses not being used in guitar amps etc, etc. So back the main point would the 100 watts be loud enough for small venues run through 2x12 150(75 watts each( BASS handling...

    100 watt enough?

    I'm in a position where I'm able to buy a Fender SK-100B bass head (Invalid Link Removed) with a Marshall 2x12 1936 Cabinet with Celestion G12T-75 speakers (Invalid Link Removed) 100 watts would be produced from this combo, reckon it'd be powerful enough to drown out a drummer...
