Let's see your Bass Rig

[mellobud]

I have tested pretty similar setup (18" EON + 12" PRS) with BDDI and while it was reasonable and powerful I was missing bass cab like sound, maybe HPF too. Do you get controlled, not too much low end type sound. And if you use distortion is there buzz coming out from the QSC horn?

There was a guy who mapped the eq curve of the di pedal I use. I found it very useful in how I set the pedal to avoid rumble and high hiss/buzz.

Another MXR M80 DI+ color switch question....but not one of the usual ones!

The jbl crossover is set to 80hz and we usually have it around -10db for the system. It is a different sound from an amp to be sure because it’s a smooth and a non-voiced amp/speaker/enclosure. It mixes well with the band and we’ve been getting good compliments so far. I suppose I could look into an amp sim pedal if I truly missed the bass amp voicing.

Finally the sound I have dreamed of for a long, long time...easy to split in half for smaller gigs!

This rig serves me well. Have other subway cabs to go bigger or smaller if needed, but this set up is grabbed 99% of the time.

I still pine a bit for my old Trace Elliot V type full stack sometimes, but not really into moving TWO 120lb cabs anymore. Mesa has me happy. Big boom with delicious tone, easy to transport.

Skinny rig. Stage space is at a premium around Fairfield county bars.

"New" practice rig:

I just revamped the 8 year old DIY head to optimize for 5 string fretted bass and the new to me TC118AF cab. Controls are HPF/Bass/Mids/Treble, one band full Parametric EQ, Aux Volume, Gain, and Master.

Can't believe I never posted these... SWR Super Redhead w/ Bag End D10B-D ext.cab (2X10, no tweeter). 140lb with that Bag End, and well worth the lug when needed! I'm 70 now and use the dolly. The little 27lb SWR Spellbinder Blue usually suffices and will hold its own with vocals,a full trap set, guitars and keyboard (or FOH, you know.)

I’ve never seen that SWR amp before. How does it compare with a Baby Blue?

It's Class D (same tube pre), much lighter, but won't take an ext. cab. The internal speaker is 4 ohm. Sounds great, very flexible.
Rare and pricey nowadays used...

We share a similar MB cab, and a GK 2x12 (212MBE), as well.

Great rigs.

Thanks! There's a new DIY tube head in the wings just waiting to be bolted together too.

Looks like a nice place for a gig.

It was the San Francisco Art Institute, but they are no longer. They went belly up last year.

Bummer! That view of Alcatraz is killer.
