I'm a bassist and drummer and I've found the that a bassist its the link between the drums and the rest of the band (pitch). Sometimes the most simplest players, I find are much better. I don't meal simple as in easy either, just matured enough to know what to play. When I'm rocking I like the bass to drive song with the drummer with a bit of grit, when it's more soulful much more smoother .. but most of all the drums and bass should sound like one unit...

S.P.[/quote] what happens when you but a 8ohm can and 4ohm cab together?

This would then allow you to fiddle with the EQ on stage without affecting the signal going to the desk. Unless you have a pre/post EQ switch the amp comes set up to send the EQ'ed signal to the XLR. Although i always just use the XLR out from my MB heads i think if you are used to sending a sansamp tone to the deck you might be better sticking with that anyway. Otherwise it will be quite a flat tone if using the pre EQ out on the amp.[/quote] I tried both.. I think the sansamp is staying in the mix.. The sound guys seem to prefer the sansamp, it's not that heavy. but my next amp head needs to have a decent DI ouput and a pre eq.. MRKIII :-)

[quote name='chris_b' post='839965' date='May 17 2010, 05:53 PM']I think this was/is a fairly common occurrence. That might be why MB added the DI/line out volume control to the LM2 and called it the LM3.[/quote] It's shame, as don't want to change it yet.. ( just bought a car)

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='840941' date='May 18 2010, 02:55 PM']How is your input gain set? If this is too low i would expect the level going out of the DI to be low as well. You might need ot turn it up a bit. Get it to where the blue light just flashes on and then back it off a bit. This should give you the optimum signal level. You could also try using the tuner or send out. I believe these give a different signal level to the XLR. The XLR is the only way to get the EQ'ed sound out but a lot of sound guys dont like that anyway. For what its worth i always use a XLR to jack in to the line in on our desk. I find i get a better signal than using the mic (XLR) in.[/quote] I think, since I've always used my sansamp into the desk the PA guys are happier with it than just a DI box as long as I don't drive the bass eq too much and I get a bit of my sounde mix. I'll have a look as the gain as it might be a bit low. I've changed the I use alot less eq on the MB as my new cab doesn't need it. I'll give options a try and let you know on thrusday. I guess I'm trying to carry less gear, but not lose tone for myself and the mix to the front of house Thanks Adrian

Hey guys, I thought, I'd actually join as I read everyone comments here all the time. and it's been really helpful. I've noticed that the ouput DI out of the back of my littlemark head seems to be very low. I usually come straight out of my sansamp and use my amp just for my own monitoring, but I like my new cab without the sansamp sometimes. I'm thinking maybe I might need to drive my gain some more, but the sound guy mentioned it was quite low.. good job I had my sansamp still eh... Has anyone noticed this with there's?

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='558530' date='Aug 2 2009, 02:54 PM']The only difference between an isobaric and standard alignment is the net cabinet volume required for the same response. That made it a fairly attractive proposition for Hi-Fi forty years ago, when driver and amplifier technology was not what it is today, and 16 cubic foot and larger cabinets weren't at all unusual. Using a second driver to get cabinet size down to a WAF was of some merit. The downside to isobaric is that the net output is still the same as can be realized with only one driver, and with the far smaller cabinet sizes required by modern drivers the net volume savings don't amount to much, certainly not enough to justify the added cost compared to a single driver cab of the same response and output capacity. In laymen's terms, why pay for a 2x10 that sounds like a 1x10?[/quote] I've recently purchased the sp210 about a month ago and was totally amazed by it. I play a lot of styles from pop to soul to rock and clarity is always more important that just making everything vibrate. I gig about 3 times or more a week. I like a cab with a nice warm sound but with a bit of bite or punch when I need it (i.e. flexble). I had a markbass 2x10 for small gigs, which is easy for getting on the train etc in London, which was nice and worked a treat with my markbass 1x15 as full rig. I used the little Markbass head. When I tried the sp210 over the markbass 2x10 in the shop, It was no contest ORANGE wins, also all the gigs I have done with just orange, all I have received is praise on a true bass sound I get, warmth with punch and bite. The Markbass sound very flat after trying the orange, while the orange brings out the bottomend like small 1x15 but with all the punch.. It's definitely louder, more dynamic and warmer than the MB2x10, when I added my 1x15, I had classic big classic bass rig that was great in very large venues, when your cab is helping the PA.... Don't mock it till you've tried it.. also, it's almost as light as the MB so I does't break my back either....
