The advantage to using paired identical cabs is that you'll get just what you have now, but a lot more of it. Those with 1x15s who want to add tens to the mix assume that the top end will be better. For a variety of reasons it's just as likely that the opposite will be the result.[/quote] Oh, this has certainly got me thinking now. I do love the sound of my 1 x 15 but do have to dial the treble on lots and a little bit of mid to get the perfect sound.

[quote name='Rich' post='407587' date='Feb 12 2009, 01:47 PM']Certainly from personal experience, my rig sounds loads better with two 1x15s than it did with a 1x15 plus a 2x10 -- but YMMV. As the man said, suck it and see![/quote] Interesting point. Did you find that you had to dial in a lot more top end or mids running two 1 x 15???

[quote name='chris_b' post='407579' date='Feb 12 2009, 01:43 PM']This combination has been successfully done many times with Ashdown and other makes. I think you will get a punchier, tighter sound, so try it out and let us know what you find. You could also think about a 4x10.[/quote] I liked the idea of a 2 x 10 as its so much smaller.

[quote name='Krysbass' post='407517' date='Feb 12 2009, 12:41 PM']I think that pretty much sums up my argument too. If a bass is going to be expensive, it shouldn't just sound good and be a joy to play - it should look good and should look worth the money you paid for it - or better still, look worth [i]more[/i] than the money you paid for it. Unfortunately, to my mind at least, Fender basses only have that name on the headstock to proclaim their heritage - however good they are beneath the skin, they are a victim of their own success and are much too copied. Build quality, exotic woods and laminated thru-necks is where it's at for me; the brand name is secondary. - But this debate proves what a highly individual thing our choice of bass really is.[/quote] Yes, totaly individual as you say. For me exotic woods and laminated thru-necks is probably my biggest nightmare and as far removed from what a bass should be. Add active electronics and lots of dials and I am in a living hell. For me, the look of a 51 Precision, a 70's Jazz or a late 50's precision and I go googly eyed and fall in love with the looks. The block inlays, the bland pastal colours, the 2 or three dials. It's simplicity in its perfect form.

I have an Ashdown 300H MAG amp and an Ashdown 1 x 15 speaker. I am going to add an Ashdown 2 x 10 to it. What sort of difference will adding this 2 x 10 make to my overall sound? Fatter or more treble or punchier or not much difference? Thanks

Is there actually a dedicated metal music channel on TV?? I know Kerrang have gone softer and do more mainstrean these days. Just wondering if there is pure metal music TV station???

[quote name='Moody' post='407287' date='Feb 12 2009, 08:40 AM']+ the f-ing 1 I love playing this stuff, we do Green Day and starting learning some Foos, Fall Out Boy and hopefully some KOL. I love it, I love it's general simplicity and I love the fact it puts a smile on my face! Slightly OT, but last night we added keyboards to Little Sister by QOTSA and it sounded brilliant![/quote] Coool. I must admit. It is great fun to play. Its like a 3 min adrenaline rush.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='406955' date='Feb 11 2009, 08:53 PM']From www.norwegiancheeses.com [i]Jarlsberg is the most popular Norwegian cheese in the UK. It is named after Count Wedel Jarlsberg, the owner of an estate by the Oslofjord, where the cheese was first produced back in 1815. Jarlsberg was first sold in the UK in the 1960s and since that time has developed a reputation with the British public as a delicious cheese of exceedingly high quality. Unlike A-Ha, for whom we express our sincerest apologies.[/i][/quote]

Oh my god, I started this thread and just found I have a live Alison Krauss album on my external hard drive. I've been framed

[quote name='josh3184' post='406861' date='Feb 11 2009, 07:41 PM']if you like said music without bass in it then why is this in general bass discussion? [/quote] Sir, that is a genius comment. Something I did not know was possible from a metal fan A bit like having vegi's turn up to a meat market.

WOOOHOOO 4 pages now. Metal is the new jazz. Both sh*t, just different

[quote name='Eight' post='406717' date='Feb 11 2009, 05:48 PM']A-HA! Got you there, noone can say the norwegian princes of pop are sh*t. ... /facepalm[/quote] I won't have a bad word said against the Norwegian wonder group A-ha. I think they are great and have them on my itouch. I wonder if I should be saying this in a cheesy metal thread.

Shania Twain would get it. I wonder would would happen if you cross Shain Twain country pop with 3 chord guitar pop? I am willing to find out if needed

Not any old song, The cheesy metal song

[quote name='josh3184' post='406468' date='Feb 11 2009, 03:35 PM']both, but the former mostly. Was listening to mastodons "blood and thunder" which has all the mentioned embarrassingly. There was me thinking I was taking the piss out of preconceptions a sample: Split your lungs with blood and thunder When you see the white whale Break your backs and crack your oars men If you wish to prevail This ivory leg is what propels me Harpoons thrust in the sky Aim directly for his crooked brow And look him straight in the eye White whale - holy grail[/quote] Get your knife with cracker and cheddar When you see your wife in leather Break your backs with a axe by Jackson If you wish to prevail This ivory axe is what propels me Harpoons thrust in the sky Aim directly for his pointy headstock For cheesy metal is his rockworld White cheese - leather pants
