amp setup

This thread isn't for me, but rather for the newcomer - and for the rest of us have a little shopping fun without actually spending any money! Was inspired by another thread. I thought we could put together the best bargain package thread for people just starting out. I know I wish I had one of...

I plan on gigging big bass rigs as long as I am blessed with gigs and the ability to load the gear. That being said i did pick up a new, kinda lighter alternative to my classic 4x10” setups that I’ve adored for decades. Bill Fitzmaurice Jack 2x12” cab and a Mesa Boogie Fathom (Carbine M6) This...

Ok, so I've been totally inspired by @bass40hz . I wanna try a dual amp setup. Other than having matching amps, I have everything I need to get this done. My question is what kinds of things do I need to be wary of and look out for? For now, I'll be using a Quilter BB800 and a Mesa D800+ and...

I have done some searching and found a little info on this. I have two 4ohm cabinets (Epifani 210 and 410). My Epifani Piccolo 600 head, however, has a minimum 4ohm. So I can’t use both without risking ruining the head. I love the tone of the head in either cab. But the output is much...

Hey, folks, need some advice. I've got some amazing basses... A Wal, Cliff Bordwell, and a Stambaugh. Problem is,in my 30 plus years of playing, I've never really been happy with my amp setup. I currently have a TC BH800. it's just kinda 'meh'... I got a new Aggie cab,the BG one, so that was an...

I'm thinking about moving to a "Pre Amp" "Power Amp" setup instead of a standard bass head. Was looking at crown. Suggestions? Please....

i have a Carvin BX 1500 and a Hartke 410 Hydrive cab. I always used a combo amp but wanted something better. Anyway, I had pumped up the volume a bit and the sound died for about 5 seconds then came back. There was a slight smell but the head didn't get hot and the fan was running. I turned it...

What's everyones opinion on this Bass Amp Setup I am just wanting it for practicing in my basement. I am going to try to learn bass my wife says I need a hobby and well I have always wanted to play bass. It's apparently a Kustom III Bass Amp 130 Watts and A Matching Kustom III 15 Cabinet. He...

Hello fellow TBers, I have recently come into a bit of money and am looking to expand my solid state rig with a full tube complement. I have been looking at the Sadowsky SA200 with a decent high-sensitivity cab (like a Berg hdn410 or maybe a nv610t?). Alternatively, I could get an Ampeg...

I'm in a bass and drum duo ala, DA1979 and Royal Blood, I'm adding a second bass amp and plan on splitting the fx for a massive sound. I have a Boss LS-2 to split the signal. FX are, Fuzz x2 OD x2 pitch shifter octave freeze DL4 My original idea was to send two lines from my DL4 to two amps and...

I own a Hartke B60 and a HA3000/4x10 transporter combo. I use the 60 for practice and smaller gigs and the HA3000 for bigger shows and outdoor venues. Recently, I've been using the 3000 as a kind of DI to record as my actual Sans Amp DI seems to have the flu. I can't seem to get the exact tone I...

I run three channels of bass and like to have a separate amp for each channel so need 3 amps. I have an ls-2 in the past but I want a separate amp for each channel now. Thanks

Hi bass players, I'm trying a new amp setup. Tilting one can back on top of another that's flat. So one is at 45 degrees and the other just lying on the amp riser. The idea is to be able to hear myself when I'm right in front of the amp from the cab that's tilted back, and also when I move...
