Got a ba 115 ampeg (original) and thinking of upgrading to a cab set up. Looking at these tc elec bq 500 amps - not fussed about the modeling ones, and a 4x 12 under it. Any thoughts bass peoples?

Or both amps.  

refreshing to read a thread that isn't about downsizing for a change 

true - Ive downsized guitar wise but cant seem to get on with small bass combos - fart city going on - maybe cos in 6'4 and i need a 6'4 amp?!

i used my Roland GTB mfx unit with left going to a Warwick head and running a more bass sounding EQ and the other right hand channel going to a GB Streamliner head running a more mid to high sounding EQ. At the time i had a Bergantino AE112 stack and a Berg HT322 cab (12, 2x10's + horn). I wasn't after more volume but it allowed me have a perfect Low end bass tone that i could bring in as much as i liked. It certainly gave my bass a lot of depth but i got fed up humphing all that gear around for gigs. Now i have a Mesa rig.

Years ago in 80's i ran a Roland pre-amp in to 2off Matamp valve power amps into 2 seperate custom cabs. A 2x10 cab and a 1x15 cab. Sounded big and warm with my Jazz bass.

Really depends on what you are trying to achieve with it. I never ran any effects. The Roland had a compressor built in.

Why do you want to have two bass amps?

Is this for live or studio use?

live - sounds great and looks great!

Or do you want to go stereo like Chris Squire?? Split the signal and have each amp send to separate speakers.

thats the plan! 

bass - into splitter, out into ampeg combo and out into marshall 10x2x15

I have an ampeg ba115 and a marshal dynamic bass amp. Do i connect these two using an AB box or take a line out of the ampeg into the marshal? Does it make any difference?

I'm having trouble finding the speakers, is that a 2x10 in a separate cab?

 

no its 2x10 and a 1x15 in one cab

assuming it is a 4x10?

the speakers are most likely wired in series/parallel, ie they are wired in pairs first and then all together. this means you can only disconnect them two at a time. They are then effectively using the whole of the space they were once sharing with the other pair. This will affect their bass response and may end up with some excessive excursion/reduction in power handling. You'd be fine at moderate sound levels but not in a gig situation. 

Time to look to see if you can source the blown speaker.

 

thanks - its a 2x10 1x15

Hi

I have a  Marshall dynamic bass system rig and have blown one of the tens in the cab. Can i just disconnect it and continue using it? or will this damage the amp?
