The Combo Club

Knew if I said the right thing I'd snag ya. Good to see you, 007. Sounds like the laundromat & bijou pub is the place to be tonight. Hmm...Sunday. Is that Oldsters Night where the acoustics come out to play some Dylan?

Bob turned 78 a day or three ago.

Egads.

Good call, mbell75. Either that or maybe consider a PF-210 cab. I have it available to use and it is killer, though you'll be mixing a ported combo with an acoustic suspension cabinet. Depends on how hard you plan on running them. You have a lot of cab choices available. The 210 is one loud amp too.

Swapped it out today and really need to add the 15 soon. I don’t like the sound of two 10s by themselves. Too much mids for my liking and not nearly enough low end.

Speaker size isn't necessarily how you get a given emphasis in range. Just saying. My 210 gets plenty hefty down low, loaded with EMI BP-102s.

Well, I can tell you that I have to up my bass +2 and lower the mids -2 to get a sound I like with the two 10s vs the 1x15 I was just playing in the same spot two hours ago. That tells me I’m getting more mids and less low end out of the two 10s

Yes, but that doesn't make it necessarily true for all 10s vs all 15s.

This subject gets hilariously heated out in the general population, but it's still true that cab design, speaker specs, fuzzy math and eq are all conspirators in what you end up with.
Bill Fitzmaurice has a sub plan called a "Tuba" that uses a 10" woofer designed for the purpose. Super lows. And my little 210 sits next to the drummer in our reggae band because he wants the big round push of air it throws at him.
Eden's 210XLT doesn't do that.

Yeap this is a discussion I follow and also steer clear of interjection and postulation. The whol fie of what I have to add is 8 five inch drivers get mighty low. <- this is where I get sent to the office
 
We get some huge moxie's here in summer..that darn bug zapper is always going off around the BBQ..lol

A friend told me about sending the kids who misbehave out with a torch (flashlight) to shine from the dock at the lake for about an hour, starting around dusk.

And all I was gonna add was that if the combo was new it’s take a little bit of time playing through the tens to loosen them up and deepen the sound...but I’m not getting in the middle of this discourse, though I do enjoy reading it!

At your service, Fearless Leader! Glad your day job hasn't worn you to a frazzle ... ... yet. Wishing you, and all us ComboHeads a safe and enjoyable summer. :thumbsup:

Some folks do get bent outta shape if you don't love "their" bass. I don't 'hate' any bass. I don't particularly like P's 'cos to me they're uncomfortable to play. I prefer my Gibson Thunderbird; partly b/c I've been playing it since 73. B4 it I had a 66 EB-3(seeing a pattern here?). I like the skinny Gibby/Epi necks for my shortish fingers. Also I 'sling' my bass(es) low which doesn't work with some other brands. I get a major kick out of those who claim TBirds are only good for hard rock/metal. Right! I use mine for jazz(combo and big band),concert band and the 60s-70s rock group I'm in. Come to think of it, it's never played metal and very little 'hard' rock. Tell that to "genpop" and they'd possibly go into cardiac arrest. Just for grins, my menagerie:

Great selection of basses there GP not to mention the beautiful pic of the various amps and that great garage door we all love so much. Great gear.
Thanks. The pic of the 112 by itself was in response to @JakobT saying he'd never seen one "in the wild", so.....
