    a question about amp heads & cabs

    I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to amp heads & cabs as I've played pretty much only combo amps so far.. but I was wondering something how much of an effect do different heads have on tone, when using the same cab? and vice versa, how much of an effect do different cabs have with the same head...

    My Search May Be Over

    I'd been slowly building up my rigs for a few years now and have small and medium both pretty locked. I have some PJ stuff I really like and a few different Bag End cabs that I'm also happy with. I wasn't gigging at all for the past few years so I didn't need to have a bigger concert/stage...

    How can I add a secondary power amp stage in my very quiet vintage solid state amp?

    Hello all. Writing this thread to ask a question and see if anyone has any experience with this. I recently purchased a very cheap old solid state amp from the 60s? Called a crestwood. It seems to be a 10 watt solid state Jfet transistor amp. Can't find a single scrap of info online. The only...

    Genzler Kinetix 800 hybrid tube/Class D head

    This apparently just launched. Looks interesting. KINETIX 800 - Genzler Amplification Three 12AX7 tubes in the preamp, apparently the EQ is also tube-based? One thing I can't tell from the specs is if the power rating is peak or RMS. 400w into 8 ohms, 800w into 4 ohms, will work at 800w...

    Which MarkBass Combo?

    I thought that I had settled on the MarkBass CMD 102P IV combo, but I see that there are some new models out and the MB58R 102 P is really interesting. They seem really similar, and I can't seem to decide. The spec seems similar, but there's a $100 difference. I like the wedge design of the...

    What is Your Home Rig/Sound

    I'm gearing up to develop a bass combo with the goal of optimizing for playing quietly with a big sound and keeping up with medium/small gigs (no PA support). With that in mind, I wanted to do some "research" here first: What is your home rig and how do you dial it in? What model of bass do...

    Frequency range on cabs

    Hi again, Another short and sweet thread from me - this time I'm curious about cabinet frequency range. A lot of cabinets list in their specifications that they support a range of frequencies from, for example... 60Hz to 19khz or some such. I play a 5 string. B is around 30hz. If for some...

    Noble vs Tube Amp

    Hi all first post here in talkbass. My apologies if this thread already exists. At the moment I can only afford to get a Noble or a new amp rig (looking at making the switch to Aguilar from Markbass). So my question is. Is it worth getting a Noble or a new amp of some sort. Any amps that you...

    I’m wondering what is the best lightweight bass head and neo cab “In Your OPINION” {Emphasis Added}. The music world has turned to the light, weight cabs and heads as its preference for clubbing and concert venues. I’m curious as to what bassists think is the best.

    Orange AD 200B MK III revamp

    I have a question for all of you bass players, who are familiar with the orange, AD 200. Wouldn’t it be cool if they did an anniversary edition, that made it at least 3 to 500 Watts with a DI. If this amp had that it would be the world’s best amp in my opinion. The thing just lacks power. Ampeg...

    SWR Bass 350 pooped out

    Was playing a small bar gig with a buddy last night and my amp just lost volume. Upon inspection discovered it still had low volume but it was the same no matter where any of the knobs were turned. Master at 0 was the same as master at 10 and none of the other knobs did anything. I really...

    Reasons to have two rigs? (Talk me into selling one)

    I was a full-time working bass player for well over 20 years. After hand injuries and band drama in the last couple of years I decided to take a break from the grind and get a day gig. Now I'm not gigging at all, working full-time, and feeling really good about it. At some point I'd like to pick...

    So... it needs to be louder

    I've been playing in an indie rock band for the better part of a year and we've recently started doing small gigs, notably without any house pa system. The only amp I have is a Peavey MAX 100 which worked for practice but is just being drowned out by drums/vox/guitar. I can't turn it up without...

    What's the difference in sound between a 210 and a 212 combo

    I've been looking for a new amp for a while and I've narrowed it down to two amps, those being the GK MB 210 and 212. I know that the 212 will be quite a bit louder but what would the difference in sound between the two be if any.

    Does speaker size effect tone?

    I am looking at getting a new amp and I really like the Orange Crush 50 with a 12 inch speaker. I tried allot of amps and the orange was the winner. I am only using this for home use so I don't need 50 watts. They sell a 25w for less but it has a 8 inch speaker and no one near me has one I can...

    Suggestions for a Guitar-ish Bass Rig

    I play a 5-string short-scale tuned in fifths (CGDAE) and I play a lot of chordal stuff that is rhythm-guitar-like. My whole thing is to play arrangements that combine a bass line and chordal riff. My unicorn would be finding an amp/preamp/pedal that can cop a modern R&B tone on the bass notes...
