Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 82: Comfortable with Derision

So, I suddenly find myself in the market for a new cab. Just how loud is that Bassic 15? I've been considering one of those or a Dually, but I'm not sure I actually need the volume that a Dually would give me. I've been using an Avatar 210 for a few years, but it's starting to get some awful distortion and box vibration. I think the volume levels I've been practicing at with my Orange Terror 500 has just killed it off, even though it was supposed to be able to handle that wattage.

I think the thing that I really want is physical presence. I love the idea of highly engineered cabinets, but I also crave a big old stack of wooden boxes to stand in front of.

So, the Bassic... loud enough to hang with a orange rockerverb 50 and a 412 cab?

It should be as loud as your current Avatar cab, and I'm betting will sound quite a bit better. The Duallys are only about 60lbs, surprisingly small for what they'll put out

Morning, doomies. Just got confirmation from a seller that my Supercollider is on its way! Just in time for our next gig, too.

I'm still really considering the MXR Carbon Copy too but I'd probably really need to get a bigger board first. Tempted to build one of those Ikea Gorm boards lol.

Whoa, that is slick! Is that a 115? I'd love to see my mammoth Peavey F800 atop it!

Here is a really big Peavey amp on top of two 12/6/1's.

I'd say Dually. Maybe you don't need everything it has to give but it will be more sensitive than the bassic. Which will open you up for the ability to use a greater selection of amps. Specifically classic low wattage amps.

With the low wattage I say go Dually. It is actually more sensitive than an ampeg 810e at a fraction of the weight.

Yeah, a girl can have a less that ideal face when she's got a great rack.

I disagree. When I was still dating, I could easily forgive "less than ideal" features if the girl had a pretty face. Not sure if that makes me superficial guy or not.

I also find that girls with great racks tend to be really rotten at their cores bar a few. Its like guys with chiseled abs or Xbox-huge biceps. Its almost like a ticket to arrogance.

I realize what I said makes me sound completely shallow, and I am a bit, but I'm more talking about judging on a complete superficial basis.

But, yeah, you're still correct. People can let it go to their heads and power trip on that.
