The timing in some of The 5th Child's stuff is difficult for me, since the guitarist and I are sometimes playing something totally different from what the drummer is playing.
Then some stuff in Catapult the Dead is difficult from a fast perspective.

I've always found it's most comfortable for both hands to have the bass's body sort of centered at my waist, neither above nor below. Just feels natural there and my arms are both fairly relaxed.
Catapult the Dead? Awesome.
Ever seen Ironclad?
Obviously this music is sampled over the movie but still... One of the best parts of the movie.

In order to get a tone I like out of my 2x15 on its own I have to eq my amp radically different than I do with my 6x10 (both NV series bergantinos). However, using the same/normal eq settings that I use with my 6x10 on its own, adding the 2x15 makes everything sound exponentially better.
So maybe try the 2x15 with the 8x10 at the same time and see how it works out?

Oh man, where have I been? Throwing some shoes on and heading down to the store to pick this bad boy up. That bass sounds crazy! They nailed the mix if you ask me. What do you suppose he is using? I saw a live clip of HOF at SXSW 2012, and he was rocking a Fender Jazz, but as for his drive, not too sure. They are throwing down some solid riffs.
That's what I was thinking. Guitarist thinks I'm insane, but agrees it will probably sound awesome. I'm thinking I'll like the sound of a pair of kappa lite 3015s better and I'll cut 30 lbs off the cab's weight.
you shouldnt be getting lost with 15s unless youre just making mud. if you want punch and cut 15s usually arent the best route, not to say they cant work but 10s are much punchier and cut more in my experience.
i cant imagine youre playing insanely loud either so either the speakers are complete crap or you just need to mess with some EQ and see how it works in the band setting. i was very unimpressed with the peavey speakers i had for a short time, they farted everywhere and couldnt take any sort of power on clean, so i got rid of them (wish i had the box back, 218s and 210s in one enclosure was awesome haha).
Sweet on all counts there, I'm checking out the video now. Way to make me GAS for even more stuff by throwing the Moog delay in the mix.
Can't wait to hear those new pickups in your baritone V too.
Yeah there was a old tb thread where a guy swapped the stock speakers in a shallow peavey 215 to kappa 3015s with good results. Greenboy even approved. So. I'm sold. I am gonna see what's in there now before I pull the trigger.
Any yinz wanna Squier my Ibanez? Doomers get dibs and discount if you ask nicely
That's a nice bass, but it's no Squire.
speaking of squiers, gonna pick up this baby next week if everything goes as planned:

Beuty!
Holy ****! I'm green with envy 
Oh just realized it is a Greco. Was wondering why I'd never seen a Ric that color before. Still looks incredible!

I am not telling anyone how to play their instrument. I mean to some bass teacher I probably have my bass too low. I was simply pointing out that there is another positive besides balance for having your bass higher. Also, it isn't necessarily only about feeling natural it is about leverage and being able to play things in an easier manner which therefore allows you to play more difficult things. I was particularly responding to Laz because, if I am not mistaken, he has been taking lessons. Then as he responded he does play parts where he is pushing his playing ability to the max. If you aren't doing that (as I am not at the moment) then it doesn't really matter where you have your bass. However, down the line I might want to play faster more complicated stuff and I don't want to have to unlearn bad technique (as I don't think Laz does either)

She's a beaut Clark!!!
I play with the bass fairly high, but that's because I have wrist issues and try to keep my left wrist as straight as possible. I'd say just about where BassBoySam plays his.
