[quote name='AndyMartin' post='513540' date='Jun 14 2009, 08:03 PM']The OP has been given plenty of reasons by various posters why he found one combo apparently louder than the other and [b]seems to be ignoring it all.[/b][/quote] ignoring it all? actually i went out last night...sorry i forgot to inform you

[quote name='lowdown' post='513494' date='Jun 14 2009, 06:53 PM']Interesting points. But i think Bay Splayer is talking about 2 combos in the same room, same acoustics, same distance etc..more like an A/B test. [ i think ] And one out blew t'other.[/quote] correctomundo

[quote name='AndyMartin' post='513406' date='Jun 14 2009, 04:43 PM']To me, the phrase “cutting through the mix” implies a mid prominent sound that has no separation from the guitars and only satisfies the criteria of being able to hear yourself rather than making the band sound good. There is a vast area of middle ground between fumbling around because you can't hear youself and sounding like a baritone guitar.[/quote] there is also the matter that some songs are built around the bass line imagine BERNADETTE by the four tops without prominent bass tone

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='513425' date='Jun 14 2009, 05:02 PM']And which input did you use on the Ashdown? And does it have the same sensitivity as the Hartke input?[/quote] used high input on both

just thought i`d mention that this isn`t meant to be a [b]"THIS AMP IS BETTER THAN THAT AMP" [/b]thread just wondered if any [i]tech-heads [/i]could explain in [i]plain english[/i] i know about matching impedance to get top-wack out of your amp, was just shocked about the difference betwwen the two amps. after all, you would expect a 300 watt amp to be louder than a 100 watt amp, not three times louder but definitely louder, IMO

[quote name='TimR' post='513247' date='Jun 14 2009, 12:23 PM']Also I [b]SUSPECT[/b] that as the 300W is specified into 4ohms that the combo probably uses an 8ohm speaker. So you may only using 2/3 of the power or less. Whereas the 100w is specified into 8ohms and the Hartke uses an 8ohm speaker. There is very little on the web or in the manuals though. The different speakers will also have different sensitivity. Never go by Wattage alone, look for SPL figures in dB.[/quote] yeah, i did mention this to our drummer, but once i mentioned "impedance" he looked lost

same type of settings >>>>>>>>>>>> knobs @12 o`clock = flat .....10 o `clock = cut ..... 2 o`clock = boost...etc etc bass: 2 o clock middle: 12 o clock treble: 4 o clock neither with compression hartke vol was about 4 (10 o clock) ashdown was about 3 o clock , both input and output dial hartke cut through the mix a lot more i`m just a bit puzzled by it all surely an aluminium speaker cant make that much difference

at a recent rehearsal i played the same songs on the same bass through two different combo amps set 1: Ashdown MAG C115-300..... [u][b]300 watts [/b][/u](RMS) through 15" speaker set 2: Hartke A100..... [u][b]100 watts [/b][/u](RMS) through 15" speaker the Hartke absolutely blew the Ashdown away, despite having only a third of the wattage! howcome?

[quote name='umcoo' post='510547' date='Jun 10 2009, 07:33 PM']Wizard 84's, and just seeing if they come with pickup screws?[/quote] i got 84`s they do come with screws

just wondered if HARTKE bass strings are a decent string or not i like their amps, but never tried the strings any feedback appreciated ta

[quote name='umcoo' post='506496' date='Jun 5 2009, 05:08 PM']Can someone tell me what 'darker' sounding means[/quote] opposite of [b]lighter[/b] sounding i reckon *[i]gets coat[/i]* not so sure about dirty, but would agree with grinding

i heard this song for the first time recently...... but recognised the bass line immediately [url="http://songza.com/~o8l9pw"]http://songza.com/~o8l9pw[/url]

[b]hit me with your rythm stick[/b] i love the bass line but not too keen on the song as a whole
