Did something completely different, bought a used Warwick cab - 400 watt at 4 ohm. I'm glad I did that, it sounds great

I have a Warwick WCA 410 (400 watts at 4 ohm) and a EBS Evolution 115 (400 watts at 4 ohm), plus two different heads I'm using ( a GK MB200 - 200 watt at 4 ohm as well as the 550 watt backup, (Behringer BVT 5500).Will check out the Warwick cab with the small head tomorrow along with a band. [i]I actually got the Behringer pretty cheap, but surprinsingly it doesn't sound all that bad[/i]

Thank you Bill, for the information

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1410615223' post='2551288'] Why would you want to connect both at once..? Simply curious, or a real problem needing solution..? [/quote] 410 for the punch and power + 115 for the low end and deep bass tones. I was guessing both cabs would be louder that just the one alone

Ohm, I feel the headache coming on already. Two cabs at 4 ohm, that's trouble, isn't it? Since my amp (I think) can't handle 2 ohm, there is no way to plug in my 1x15" and 4 x10" (both rated 4 ohm) at the same time, just one of the cabs, right?

How Many watts are people pusling though the one or two BC212?

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1409680761' post='2542197'] How much are you looking to spend? [/quote] Just trying to convert to US dollars, the new Laney is around $385 and the used Peavey is $175

Sorry if the images aren't showing up - here are the direct links to the images https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2576680/peavey.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2576680/Laney.jpg I don't know what series the Peavey is from, other than it's 5 years old, and 350 watt

I am getting a new 4x10 cabinet. I could get a new Laney RB410 600 watt, or for half the price get a 5 y.o. Peavey 350 watt. I don't know if either of them is from a cheap series like the Hartke TP - but Hartke Transporter series is [i][b]not[/b][/i] what I'm looking for. What cabinet sounds best (I know, not a very scientific question), but is either of the cabs from a cheap discount series? Sorry, I don't have the exact name of the Peavey cab, but I'll try to enclose images of both cabinets. Thanks

I think I'm gonna like the B3 a lot. Thanks for clearing up my questions :-)

Thanks, if that's the case - I better start putting money aside for the Fender Bassman (that's the amp simulation I really like)

Just starting to get the hang of my Zoom B3. There's a few patches I could find useful, but I'm wondering about the amp simulations - are they close the the real thing? The sound of the simulation of the Fender Bassman, the Eden and the Markboost patch is just my kinda thing. BUT - are they anything like the real deal, or just a sound with a cool name to it? Hope you get my blabbering...

Thanks guys, I really hope the B3 to be a handy tool for my bass (never used effects before)

I have used the Gallien Krueger MB200 along with a 15" speaker for some time. I also have played a few TC Electronic amps, but I prefer the MB200 for the sound and size. Great tone, and for even more power I'm thinking of daisychaining the 15" with 2x12"

Just got a B3. A few patched sounds great directly out of the box, but is there a place (in here perhaps) for B3 members, to talk about that cool little thing? Sorry, I'm on my phone only at the moment, so searching for a B3-members club is a bit confusing for me

Got one, and I love it. I still want a reasonable priced cabinet for it, though. The 15" GK I have is okay, but I would like a step up BTW - what is your settings (I really [i]don't[/i] like the contour switch)?

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1408106108' post='2527162'] Which of the SR series is most suited to reggae, using flatwound strings for a clear deep smooth tone? [/quote] Fender Flats, good price, good solid sound - I only use Fender flatwounds

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1407709559' post='2523322'] Glad to see you've gone with the one you initially liked, but as ever on BC, pics or it never happened [/quote]

I've had my SR600 for a few days. I think it needs to be used a bit more before I can give it my final verdict, but so far I love the tone, the weight (or lack of weight) and the look of it. Nice price, and it even came with Elixir strings on it. I have five basses, and my Sandberg P-bass is in close competition with my Ibanez SR 600 to be my number one choice.

Thanks Grangur

Thank you for all inputs. Looks like B3 is a winner. The looper+rythm sections is a plus for home practice. I know now what I want for my birthday BTW - the Sansamp sound thingy from the B3, is that as good as the real thing?

Not used to using any effects other than a compressor, I was curious about how I could get a better tone from my TC Electronic BG250 combo with a 15" speaker. Is a preamp the way to go (Sansamp or the Behringer clone), to get a more big fat sounding fuller tone without overdrive?

Are multieffect "just for fun" or are there any products that actually sounds good? I know a guy who says his Boss me20b is fun at home, but he rarely use it for anything but home practice. The Zoom b3 looks neat, and also have rythm patterns build in, but I've head it really don't sound good enough for using with a band or on stage. Zoom also have that cute little Multistomp-thingy, but I miss the drum thing for home practice. Are multieffects just a toy, or are the useful?

I just got the original (1x15" with one TonePrint and TubeDrive-button). Plenty loud for me, but not completely nuts about the tone. Great for home practice, I plug in my iPhone - and jam away. At gigs I run into the FOH, and 250 watts are plenty for stage sound. I use it for folk/blues bands - and for rock bands with loud drummers. I also have the GK MB200, and that gives me a warmer, richer tone...I think If I find an alternative the the BG250, I might part with the TC - but I do like the TonePrint, but I only use one effect (compressor). A bit hard the find the settings that gives me a good tone from the combo, set flat I think it sound a bit hard, dark and metallic. It's a keeper for now, alternatives (like Fender Rumble 500 combo and EBS Reidmar head with 1x12"cab sound good, but cost twice as much) What's you favorite settings?
