Cab design seems to be either a super complex science, or a black art... and I'm not sure some of the "tonal" differences are anything linked to price or quality of design.
There are exceptions to this of course, Alex C and Bill F seem to know what they are doing, I've backward engineered a cab once and it was clear they didn't know what they were doing...
Almost definitely - Eminence arn't the cheapest over here compared with EU made speakers.
I think if I were cab shopping I would just build my own, or head over the FRFR thread and go by the recommendations there to pick up a PA cab
I *think* it sounds like it's modelling 3 different settings on a 12 band EQ - I don't think there's any additional compression changes going on modelling that part of the head but could be wrong.
the preshape settings suck as much as they do on the real thing too
I would be impressed if that kinda detail carried through to a sim on a £130 pedal - but it wouldn't surprise me if it did
I think the ebs, acoustic and markbass amps are all added after release - easy to install.
Markbass through a 2x8 is a bit of an odd rig to model and I'm not quite sure what circumstances anyone would go "ooh you know what rig sound I want - a markbass through a tiny cab" but hey ho.
The only thing it is missing for me is a B15
I had one of them - the Roland D-bass 210 - I'm not quite sure why I moved it on it was very impressive in the 'ultrA flat" mode.
At the time I had a hellborg pre into a poweramp and a ACME B2 which again was even cleaner sounding.
Sold them both and ended up with a walkabout which is like the diametric opposite of FRFR - but the MB AC combo is something I would like to try some point
A lot of PA cabs are designed to cross over to subs.
A bass cab will often go lower than a PA cab, because it's designed not to be crossed over. If you want low end then this is a good thing.
Some of the nicer PA cabs discussed in this thread are designed to go lower and run without subs. This means you get a DSP controlled bottom end (more controlled than your bass cab) and the high mids/highs are coming out of a much nicer driver too compared to your Bass cab
Other thing to try... set the neck pickup with no or little resonance and set a "core sound" - then set the bridge pickup with a fair bit of resonance where it sounds good - for me I end up with the neck fairly open but the bridge cut more but with a nice mid twang coming from the bridge - blend to taste
Top tip at none on here gave. Set your two pickups freq and resonance.
Then live don't touch them and just use the balance control for different sounds.
I don't even know what this one is but boy I bet it sounds $11000 https://www.higherfi.com/phono/koetsu-coralstone
really do a group of people actually pay this kind of mental money for a hi Fi system? What exactly are they listening to on it? Some album mastered to sound good on Spotify via iPhone earbuds?
