Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

My 1x15"s are 85 lbs a piece, my father was moving them around today like it was no big deal. I'm 33, he's in his late 50s and doesn't exercise. I can see wanting to go lighter if you have a serious back or knee problem, but I think some people overstate or overestimate the difficulty of moving a heavy speaker cab.

My 410 is 36 kg (79 lbs) and I still lug it around on a trolley purely because I'm a lazy ****.

The size bothers me, weights fine. I like that loud cab can fit in my corolla and can be moved easily, I could care less about it's density if it sounds good.

I can fit two of those cabs, my amp in its 3RU case, pedal board, bass in its hard case, my self and a fair amount of other miscellaneous stuff in my wife's 05 Hyundai accent. Surprised the hell out of me, but it worked.
 
So as part of a trade I ended up with a fender 300 pro on a fender 810..yeah ive already got one 300 pro so.its redundant BUT my God does it sound massive thru an 810. Took it to band practice and it was magical!
I just loved the throb at my back of every note! Now I just need to move this svt soon!


I still love my bassman 1200 pro but I think its about time moved up to the tube version, are you still using the same settings, also did you ever run a p bass with your original settings you suggested to me? I feel like my Hondo makes my Peak light go nuts. Its passive but I feel like I might need to use the active input switch because the pickups are so high out put, or I have to roll my bass control on the amp to like 5.
 
Eyeball.
Thats a great deal for the SVT. These amps seem to find you. Havn't made a commitment yet on tube.
Just peiced together a new power amp rig that I hope will satisfy for a little while.
Carvin HD1500 and Tech 21 TV-RM may be a short term alternative. Well see.

Isn't it a tube preamp? Why does it matter then, if the light is going on?
 
This him? Didn't know the heads had been selling.

Im liking the look of these much better than emperor...that dividing middle stripe is a cool touch.

We got our Godzilla cover all wrapped up, it turned out well! It was blast to put this thing together in five days and the creative break from EP work was nice. My guitarist even threw together a video. Enjoy!

Noice! Waiting to go see the movie until it hits the $2 theater by me.

I figured If its peaking and goes completely red it was indicating I was pushing my speakers to hard, I'm currently using a friends 8x10 till I get a chance to put my cab back together, both cabs are rated at 900 watts @ 4 ohm, the head is 800 watts @4 ohms, maybe I'm just tripping but when I hit my 12th fret with my bass and high set 7 and my graphic eq set to eyeballkids setting its sounds like my cab is gonna bust lol.

Is the peak light for the preamp gain or for the poweramp?
 
My settings are basically the same when I use a stingray. When I use a jazz I make more of a frowny face on the graphic. Ive never owned a pbass to try it with, but on a bass that sounds P-ish ive kinda used settings similar to the jazz and maybe rolled the lowest lows down a bit.
The trade was for the 810 and v4b.. Ive still got the svt.

I'll see what I can manage with the graphic eq, I might also try this sunn suggested sabbath tone..
