    Aguilar tone hammer 500 with two 4x10s?

    Just wondering what everybody thinks about a rig like that. The Tone Hammer 500 is rated for 500W @ 4 ohms and 250W @ 8 ohms. If I were to run into two Fender rumble 4x10 cabinets rated at 8 ohms, what type of tonal capabilities will I be sacrificing or gaining? Some context: I play in a...

Rig: bass > a ton of effects > Ampeg amp > TC Electronics K210 (2x10) stacked on Ampeg PF115 ( 1x15) . I...

    Doom/Stoner Metal Community, Rate My Riff!

    I recently found a riff I wrote last year in my garageband folder and I love it to death, the tone i achieved is (IMHO) pure doom metal bliss. What do you think?

    Hey folks, thank you for having me. I come from Berlin and I play double bass and guitar. I started out playing cello as a kid, switching to double bass in order to play jazz and funk for many years.

    "Controlled" amp feedback

    How do you obtain a "controlled" amp feedback which you can use in a musical way? Some examples: (minute 10:00) (from minute 1:12) I already have a Fuzzrocious Cat King with momentary feedback but I'm very unsatisfied of it (for multiple reasons), and it was the less "terrible sounding"...

    Versatile overdrive pedals?

    I'm looking for some good, versatile overdrive pedals with a blend knob that would work well for doom metal and other genres if I feel like playing something different. My budget is around $100 new.
