    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...

    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...

    Fender Rumble Neodymium extension cabinet?

    Hi all, I have a Fender Rumble 800 (not the on stage) - which has 2x10 neodymium speakers. I'm looking for a 2x10 extension cabinet but it seems Fender doesn't make one that matches the 800's neodymium speakers. I see a 2x10 at 39lbs (The fender Rumble 800 is only 29lbs) which looks more like...

    Fender Tone Master FR-12

    Yesterday Fender dropped their modeler pedal, but also dropped two powered speakers, both rated at 1000 watts, a 1x12 and a 1x10. Being that I have a preamp on every one of my pedalboards, and also use an HX Stomp, but currently don't have an amp for the few times I need one, do you all think...

    Cabinet Wiring Question

    I'm hoping that someone can help me with wiring my cabinets. I have two 4.5 cabs (4x10 with a 5" tweeter). All speakers are 8 ohms. I'm using a 4-pole input jack. Am I able to wire these so that each cab has a 4 ohm load? And if so, how? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pick...

    I'm on the lighter is better bandwagon (approaching 50 yrs old), and there are a lot of great cab builders out there. I still use my Mesa Subway D-800 amp.

    Are Acoustic Bass cabinets any good?

    I'm somewhat new to bass and I don't have much of a budget. Acoustic Cabinets are the cheapest I could find and just want to know if they're are any good. If not are there any other Cabinets to recommend? Thanks

    Adding a second cab in series

    Hellow all, I use an Aguilar sl210 4ohm cab. On most gigs, it's totally enough for me but I'm thinking of expanding and getting an sl 115 for when I play in larger venues. I like the idea of having a 4ohm cab because I can get more power from my amp with it. But that means that I would have to...

    Floor or on a stand, crates or chair when using one cabinet.

    Will be playing a lot of gigs coming up. I'm old school and used to having 2 cabs stacked on stage but these will be one cab only gigs. My question is should I keep the cab on the floor or can I put on crates or a chair, etc. so I can hear better? It may just be in my head but I always liked my...

    efficiency: ported 215 or sealed 810?

    odd question about ampeg cabinet construction

    i’ve noticed that between the 810av cabinets, and the heritage cabinets, there seems to be a difference in wood thickness. the AV has thicker wood, and uses more vintage-accurate chrome corners, while the heritage seems to have thinner wood and smaller chrome edges. but… sometimes they’re both...

    does anyone even make w bin bass cabinets anymore?

    i know folded horn bass cabinets are wildly unpopular. heavy, hard to tame, big and clunky, lack of highs, but there’s something about them i love. john paul jones and his tone at the royal albert hall is so dark and low and evil and i know those acoustic w bin cabs had something to do with...

    Watts/Ohms for Speaker cab

    Got a question for the gear heads out here. I'm looking at buying a new bass cabinet for my TH500. Most cabs I'm looking at within my price range are sold at 8ohms. The TH500 runs 250W at 8ohms, so if a cab advertises itself as 400W RMS (with 8ohm impedance), would that mean that the most power...

    relationship between sealed cabinet volume and speaker performance?
