How would you compare the mofo to the lb30?

[quote name='umph' timestamp='1306178928' post='1242190'] unfortunatly a vox night train isn't an ac30. I've tried one out and i wasn't hugely impressed. I still recomend getting your Soundcity sorted, you can mod them pretty easy to get something you like. I have the AD200 schematic if you'd like to use that to convert to convert the soundcity. [/quote] Not so common these days, but would you recommend an ac30 for bass? Also again another guitar amp but have you seen the Egnater 88?http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/electric_amps_detail.asp?stock=11060715055139

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1325015717' post='1479178'] Another vote for headless here. For me, Status epitomise the perfect look for a headless bass. I've gigged with a Zon and Kubicki headless and the lack of the head and tuners etc is a Godsend on a crowded stage [/quote] +1 I had a S2 headless and loved it, I sold it to mojobass coz i wasn't gigging I was gutted when it sold and even considered asking for it back. Now I am back gigging I have a spotless 1990 Kubicki and it is just the mutts nuts, probably better than my S2. Although our bands set has started to involve some flat tuning which is a pain in the bum, but i suppose it would be with any bass headed or headless. I think really it is a personal choice but for me its headless all the way

Thanks for all of your advice guys, any recommendations on a power amp? to be honest it does sound like a right pain in the arse, I might just bite the bullet and upgrade the head altogether

[/size] [size=4]You need a bigger amp for better tone, more volume and more headroom, and I'd still get the 212.[/size] [/quote] I disagree to be honest £509 for a head to practise with is hell of a lot of money, however when i bought it i wasn't gigging so i see your point. But i have gigged it and DI ing it was fine. Tone was excellent and volume was plenty loud enough I had my little bastard turned up about halfway. Do you not think just adding another 1x12 will suffice?

Yep 30 watts!

[quote name='eddiehoffmann' timestamp='1324900492' post='1478316'] I think if you have a proper 2x12 or 4x10 and can't hear yourself in your band unfortunately you need a more powerful amp. I don't know how good the Ashdown 1x12's are. If you like the sound of it, try adding another one. You'll get the same sound but louder. [/quote] To be fair i thought that thats why my rig is currently for sale

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1324899749' post='1478305'] [size=4]You can use 1 8ohm cab, 2 8 ohm cabs or 1 4 ohm cab. You can't mix 8 ohm and 4 ohm or you might damage your amp. [/size] [size=4]Do you really need more than a 212 cab? I reckon that would over most gigs.[/size] [/quote] Probably not but i do struggle over our guitarist, do you think its worth adding another 1x12? To be fair though I have had my head in a 8ohm 4x10 and it still struggled The cab i had in mind was a LB 212

I have a 8 ohm 1x12 and want to add a extension cab, i have found a 2x12 at a steal only problem is its a 4 ohm cab? My amp does have a 4 and a 8 ohm output. Could I just plug it into 4 ohms without harming my head?

I still have my first bass, my Warwick rockbass. I didn't even play it i saw it, liked it and bought it. I had played guitar on and off for years but was never really anygood so i switched to bass which i felt right at home with. After about 12 months i bought a Status S2 simply because i loved the shape and colour plus im a massive muse fan. It cost me £1300 and after the initial excitment i soon realised i didnt need it, so it got sold. Now i have my Kubicki which is absolutley stunning and im now in a band so I feel i can now justify an expensive bass. There is some good advice on here so take heed but If your interested i might sell the rock bass just send me a pm if you want
