Thanks Bolo, There is no issue with cutting through with the 1 x 15, sometimes I get told to turn down lol, as if! It was just to see what the thoughts were about running 2 cabs one either side of the drummer and next to the 2 guitarists amps to give a more rounder fuller sound out the front, not that there is anything wrong with our sound, people seem to enjoy it, and also whether anyone sees an issue running a cab that far from the other cab, signal breakdown through a longer lead etc???? Cheers

Hi guys thanks for the replies, most helpful! Re. fighting with the guitarists that was only a joke, as far as I am aware we have a good sound as a 5 piece, we only play pubs and clubs so only play through our own PA, so no micing up of amps etc. or going through mixing desk/FOH. The thought was that 2 bass cabs one either side of the drums each one next to one of the two guitarists cabs, and in theory even up the level of bass coming from across the stage. Obviously this would only be in venues big enough to allow this, but generally I am just running an Ashdown MAG 300 through a 1 x 15 cab. What say you lot Cheers

Hi guys, Was hoping for some help with this one! As a bass player who has to fight with two guitarists in a band I was considering running 2 cabs, one either side of the drumkit next to the guitarists amps. Reason for question was about getting a long lead to run from my head to the cab on the other side of the kit, just wondered if anyone had any comments/recommendations or that whether I should do it at all??? Thanks in advance! Steve

Hi Chris, Thanks for that, thought that would be the answer just wanted to check as new to this head/cab mullarky! Cheers

Hi bassists! Been a combo user for last few years since picking up the bass, but have just purchased an Ashdown MAG 300 head 307W and am running it into an Ashdown 115 which I belive is rated at 8 ohms off top of my head. I have seen a Hartke 2100 cab for sale and was wondering if this would be able to run side by side with the 115 even if its rated at 250W at 4 ohms. Can you mix speakers with different ohm ratings into same head etc etc???? Bit of a minefield this ohmage thing and dont want to end up blowing anything up unnecessarily!!! Cheers guys, great forum btw!!! Steve

Hi all, Been playing bass for just over 2 years since my brother enticed me to play some songs at his 40th birthday and have never looked back! Now playing in a band called The Garden Club across Devon and Somerset playing rock/pop/indie covers and wondering why at 43 years of age I didnt do it sooner! Basic simple setup, bass, amp, strings, lets go! Looking forward to what the future brings, may not be any Billy Sheehan but love playing! Cheers Steve
