    Rackmount Preamp Questions

    I didn't realize I asked a stupid question until much later, sorry folks. 🫥 (Duh you need power for a preamp!)

    Rackmount Preamp Questions

    Hello Lovely people of TalkBass! First and foremost, I want to say that I appreciate your responses to the last post I made regarding cabinets! I'm thankful that you all could answer many questions I had in my head. With that said. I now bring to you all another few questions, but first; some...

    Decision Between Mesa RR 2x15 Bass Cab VS Ampeg 6x10 Bass Cab

    Absolutely! That's what I'm curious about. Good thing I get to test both at GC this afternoon!

    Decision Between Mesa RR 2x15 Bass Cab VS Ampeg 6x10 Bass Cab

    I've played around with EQ, compression & almost all options with my amp, with those options worked through, to my ears, this lead to me thinking about how changing speaker size and cab design would affect direction of my sound, not necessarily about bass tone itself, just how its being...

    Decision Between Mesa RR 2x15 Bass Cab VS Ampeg 6x10 Bass Cab

    I felt a physical difference when lifting the 6x10, it was considerable enough for me to consider a switch! "Transparent" is much more apt of a description, tried boosting the mids, and it still didn't feel quite full. Compression too. Good to hear about the 10"s my goal is to kick some bass...

    Decision Between Mesa RR 2x15 Bass Cab VS Ampeg 6x10 Bass Cab

    Do the 10" speakers sound punchier, and does the cab retain tight low end? I used standard tuning, and a BEAD tuned bass as well, If you've got any extra detail on the tones of the cabinet you'd wish to discuss, I'm all ears for it. I'm going for that Tim Commerford, Paul D'Amour bass tone, and...

    Decision Between Mesa RR 2x15 Bass Cab VS Ampeg 6x10 Bass Cab

    I feel you, I'm lugging this guy up and down stairs with my drummer almost each weekend for gigs. My buddies who are a bit skinnier can't pick up that slack when carrying it, and I've had times they've almost injured me because they haven't handled or balanced the weight distribution properly...

    Decision Between Mesa RR 2x15 Bass Cab VS Ampeg 6x10 Bass Cab

    Interesting! I didn't know it was only 138, it feels like more when moving it up and down stairs. I'm fine with Ampeg if it's 23lbs lighter, makes a difference for myself and my buddies when we're hauling gear fast to a gig. I've heard a lot on this thread about the Subway 2x15, I'll be sure to...

    Decision Between Mesa RR 2x15 Bass Cab VS Ampeg 6x10 Bass Cab

    Hello lovely people of Talkbass! I've been intensely searching for music gear and equipment for my specific needs, and would like your advice or help on getting my sound. I have a Lovely Road Ready Mesa Boogie 2x15 cab, and it's gorgeous, it sucks to lift up stairs, which I regularly do, but it...

    Is the Ampeg SVP-BSP essentially the same pre as the Ampeg SVP-CL?

    Sounds rad! I've been considering using a BSP with an FX loop through a SVT 3 pro for a dirty sound, and an SVT 2 Non pro for my clean sound through different cabs. Your comment is helpful, if you have more goodies to share about your experiences with the BSP Preamp, I'm definitely interested in...

    Lightweight 8x10 Cab

    👆This is absolutely true! Not enough people talk about how to lift objects properly, or about lifting weights to help lift those heavier cabinets, it does make a difference! For those who can consistently strength train, lifting medium to heavy weights (35-55 pounds) makes handling those...

    Which Bassist was/is a major Influence that motivated you to want play bass?? (Pick one, only)

    I haven't yet, but dang I'd love to see or even meet him some day to thank him for how much of an impact his art has made for me personally.

    Which Bassist was/is a major Influence that motivated you to want play bass?? (Pick one, only)

    Paul D'Amour (Formerly of TooL) His bass tone is some of the best rugged, disciplined, and chaotic sound I've heard. It's the first time I've listened to someone play bass and it activating something deep within me that can't be explained. Here's a video of a concert I'm referring to, and a...
