pburrows

Thanks to all for your help and advice. I've played it again earlier and think it might have a fault. I noticed the level meter wasn't registering even though it was getting plenty of input. I can play quiet and it sounds fine (not in the slightest bit muddy ) and I can crank it loud with 12 o'clock eq and it does distort a bit. The band does play quite loud doing classic rock covers. I play a MIM p bass with Seymour pups. I thought it could be the bass but my fret less sounds similar. I guess thats what happens when you buys amps off eBay ! Perhaps I need to get it looked at.

Nope I'm not getting the restraint bit. What's the problem then??

Thanks. I did go out front during sound check and I could hear it. IMO it sounded awful but nothing I could do about it. If I had another cab would 2 x 150 outputs normally be loud enough for a pub gig in your opinion? I'm still a bit confused.

Hi guys. I need some advice here as I'm getting lost in some of the technical detail regarding Ohms, watts and overall volume! I recently did my first gig in a pub using my Ashdown MAG C410 T 300 Bass Combo. It just didn't seem loud enough and was distorting a bit. Am I correct in thinking that the amp puts out 300W @ 8 ohms? Therefore if I add a 4 ohm cab would that make it go louder?? Or if I were to add an Ashdown Mag-115 cab which is rated at 250W @ 8 ohms would this make it sound louder? Really sorry about this level of naivety but I really confused as to what to do. Can't really afford a proper rig, so either need to use what I have got, or find something else on ebay. Any advice much appreciated! Many thanks
