attackbass

I have one as a backup head which has never been used! Great head. Really thick warm tone that cuts through, plus has some really cool features like the overdrive section, room balance etc I'm actually considering selling it as the last tour I did it just sat in the hold of the bus, flightcased for 3 weeks, it is very heavy for what it is but then it does sound awesome and it's very, very loud!! [quote name='*Monster*' post='1076876' date='Jan 3 2011, 10:19 PM']I would like to know how they sound too. Posted nearly the same question a few weeks ago. seems that hardly anyone stocks them over here, they get really good reviews in the USA and a lot of bands that used to use the ampeg svt 5 pro now use that fender or the one up with more watts. I heard that they were basically the same design/amp as one of the old Sunn amps ? (correct me if i'm wrong) Think a few people on here might have played one of them so might have an idea of how it sounds.[/quote]

Fender style tone stack means you can't boost the mids, try stating mids full, treble and bass right down, that is roughly flat. What cab are you using? The Fenders with that tone stack were generally pair with middly cabs in the day, doesn't happen so much now.[/quote] I use mine with an Orange 8x10 in a four piece rock band. I have the bass and treble set at about 3 o clock and the mid control set to about 9 o'clock. Gain at one o'clock and master at about 9 o'clock. I always use an ebs compressor with the tube compressor setting which ends a little bit more edge and high end attack with a passive jazz bass. Cuts through perfectly onstage against a mesa and orange stack in venues sized from 300 upwards.. don't even have bass in my monitor mix! I've found when I have had the mid up you get a very honky sound that just doesn't sit right IMO in rock music. I suggest tweaking the eq between songs in rehearsal until you find something you find that you are happy with.. don't worry about what kinda tone stack it is or the theory of it, just experiment and listen with your ears!

thought i'd just mention that i'm selling a phil jones briefcase amp.. used it with EUB and it sounded great! It's listed in the for amps for sale section if you are interested.

I have a warmouth self build that I did and finished myself with the help of my dad a year and a half ago and whilst it is pretty good... it's not quite as amazing as I would have liked and I would like to actually start using this bass live as it has top quality parts... So any one got any recomendations... could prob maybe do with the electronics sorting and a set up too!

Don't think about coming to shows, just come lol! TBH at the show I only run my bass through sansamp di for foh.. so you'll probably only hear that unless you stand at the front! PROS - 2 seperate cabs are easier to get in your and carry, expecially if you need only the one. I've never used two 4x10s so I can't comment... with the 4x10 and 1x15 I found it gave me a washy kinda tone and not very focused. There would be this harsh high end flying around from the 4x10 with the horn and then this kinda 'flappy' loose bass coming from the 1x15. I was after a tight articulate sound that wasn't too harsh on the high end which is what im pleasef to say im getting with the 8x10... it's great for distortion and driving tube amps. I have spoken to sound guys in the past that thought the 4x10 and 1x15 cab mix was odd becuase your sending the same eq from the preamp to two different cabs with different speaker combinations... not sure how much truth is in that but I can understand the theory. hope that helps in some way or other.

The only point of doubt I have at the moment is concering what cabs I should choose. There are two combinations possible. First of all 2 4 x 10 cabinets, and the second possibility is a 4x10 combined with a 1x15. I've tried both setups, but am stuck when it comes to choosing. Any pro's and cons to both combinations are more than welcome! P.S: That is one insane setup you've got there![/quote]
