  1. Got a new head to my two cabs.

    The head has 3 cabinet outputs - two jacks and one speakon. Will there be any difference in:

    A) head to cab one via speakon, and link cab one to cab two via the link/speakon on the cabs?

    B) head to cab one via Jack. Head to cab two via another Jack in the head?

    Will the power and ohm be the same?

    That cab should be incredibly bright and incredibly loud. 

    Is it possibly to do with the settings on the amp? The classic 450 is designed to give more of an 'old school' sound, so if you push the drive on it might make things sound a bit muffled. See if you can try the head with a different cab and the cab with a different head. 

    Will try that out, I have a different rig I will try out in various setups

  3. Hello fellow bassplayers.

    At the moment I am playing an EBS 450 Classic + EBS Pro Line 4x12". I think the cab has a rather dark or muffled sound. Does anyone else have experiences with that cab (or head)? I'm thinking of getting another cab - or maybe even another head. What would you say? I play rock, pop and 70's rock

  4. My E string is buzzing due to the angle on the string between the saddle and the tuner - and to avoid that I would increase that angle, so I ordered an original Fender String Retainer to increase the angle between the tuning mechanism and the saddle. That don't fit on a Mustang - so do you have a solution? I will have to increase the string angle

    Are you playing with a pick? What is the rest of your set up in terms of bass, pups and amp?

     

    I play with a pick as well as just the fingers. I have several basses with standard pickups (Fender, Sandberg, Yamaha, Ibanez - and a very VERY cheap Harley Benton), and my amps are both EBS (450 Classic with a 4x12 and Reidmar with a 2x12).

    After a A/B test of BSF/Mojomojo my personal taste is the Mojo. Just the warm sound I like, with a hair of overdrive 

  6. Swapped the Bass Soul Food for a Pigtronix Philosopher Rock compressor, and bought the Mojomojo. I hated the Mojomojo at first, but after a day I discovered that "my tone" was dialed in like this.

    Now I like that thing a lot

    My settings are:

    Thanks, that's about the same settings I have dialed in on my pedal. I must admit I like the tone better in a band situation, than when I play alone at home (and I just ordered that Mojomojo earlier today 🤔)

    .The settings I've settled on are Vol: 12 o'clock, Drive: 1-2 o'clock, Blend: 1-2 o'clock and Treble 12 o'clock. 

    Thanks mate. What I really cant her used to is the boosted miss, when Drive is just turned past 12 o' clock

    Haha. Discovered I had posted something the wrong place, so I posted it in "effects". Couldn't figure out how to delete this original post 😚

    I have received some food for the soul! 

    First impression was a disappointment, quite big even - but when i sat down and turned the knobs back and forth, I was happy again. The first impression was that it sounded like a bee in an empty pot, but as I turn down Drive, Blend and Treble the harsh midrange disappears and a warm and subtle crunch appears.

    What settings do you use?

  11. This thread is just what I have been looking for.

    I have both the Zoom B3 and the Zoom MS60-B. I was thinking of getting an actual compressor, but them remembered the options the Zooms gave me. As an always-on compressor, which of the Zoom-simulations would you pick?

    I am not slapping or popping, just looking for an even sound and tone - but fattening up the tone a little bit, wouldn't hurt anyone.

    Hope to find a useful simulation, so I could spend the money on strings instead of an actutal compressor pedal.

    Thank you

  12. I also were a bit tired of my nano muff, and thought of replacing it with a Bass soul food.  Can the Muff actually be used as a subtle “ crunch” like the soul food? Having my board in the rehearsal room, I can’t fiddle with it right now. Should I stop thinking of the Bass Soul Food, and learn to tweak my Muff instead?

  13. I have been looking very close in the Fender Mustang lately, everything looks great except the price. I can get 3 Squier Jaguar for the price of a Fender Mustang, has anyone had a chance to play both? In playability and tone, is the Fender worth the extra money?

    Hope someone can help me out. Thanks

    Not knocking the LH500 but it's of its time. You could do better, i.e. smaller, lighter and er... 'soundier'. :unsure:

    Like in what amps?
    Thinking tone/value as in LH500

  15. Years ago I used a LH500. As far as I remember, the tone was really warm and fat.
    Actually thinking of getting one as a backup for my EBS amp.

    Connected to 2 12" EBS cabs - how do you feel about the LH500?

    From the user manual: [i][font=MyriadPro][size=2]The LH Series rear panels have 1/4-inch EFFECTS SEND and RETURN for connecting external effects processors, plus 1/4-inch and Speakon connectors for connecting your bass cabinet or cabinets. [/size][/font][/i]

    The LH500 does not have Speakon connectors, or am I wrong?

    [i][color=#231F20]"With two amps together, connected through the Effects loop (Send from one to Return on the other), you can drive two 4 ohm cabinets, getting a separate volume control for each cabinet while using the EQ from the one you plug in to"[/color][/i]

    [color=#231F20]What an odd suggestion! Why would anyone wish to do such a thing? [/color]

  17. Any users out there, who want to talk about this thing?
    Every time I use this at home, I think it sounds pretty "thin" due to the light material it's buildt with. Been thinking about stuffing some "stuff"inside it, to get a fuller/beefy tone.
    Then every time I use it in a rehearsal or at a small gig, I'm amazed how good thing thing plays at 50% volume.
    Kick in the compressor, and it actually shakes my trousers.

    It plays so much better when volume is turned up, than at home where I don't play so loud.

    Anyone tried to place some kind of isolation/dampening material inside?
