B-string low note reproduction

[ole Jason]

An anemic B string is often an issue with the bass, or sometimes the string itself, and not necessarily the amp. If you don't have another bass with a B string or a more powerful amp/cab trying taking that bass to a store and plugging into something bigger and see if the issue is still there.

I think a good 112 can do fine with B strings within reason. I gigged with a single Aguilar GS112 for many years and always thought it handled things well.

Bass guitar cabinets are dedigned to be loud and fit in your car. The Physics involved has a 3 way tradeoff, which means there are no bass guitar cabs the reproduce the fundamentals low on your B string.it’s simply not going to hsppen. There are, however, subs in good quslity PA’s (not the ones that fit in your car, the ones that tours use) that will reptoduce those fundamentals gloriously - if you get a chance to play through that level of PA, you will suddenly reslize how cool a 5 can be.

High pass filters help avoid the mud that bass guitars cabs make when youu feed them low freq’s. The low freq’s are NOT the problem- it’s ugly harmonics created by a speaker thst can’t handle them that is the “mud”.

As a 12' combo, the Ampeg RB112 able handle Low B well in medium-high volume than other brand which has similar price tag with 12' driver., but get better once stacked. No mud, just clear and meaty.



If i go with bigger amp head, sure will get 2x Hartke HD112 @ 300w 4 or 8 ohm

Always better Stacked, indeed.

Yea, I'd bet Money a 12' (12 Foot) Driver alone might just do the trick. (That's Bigger than Marty McFly used at Doc's house).
