Downunderwonder replied to Mike Bungo's topic in Amps and Cabs
Well, you weren't trying to conquer Russia, I mean play with a band that is as loud as Paul's. -
What gear to get for a Behringer Europower PMX 2000
Downunderwonder replied to isteen's topic in General Discussion
I am surprised you haven't blown up your active monitor on the first try. Your B'ringer amp needs passive speakers. You can get hell loud vocals with a big enough set of cabinets. Mind you never plug the speaker outputs of your active mixer into anything, would be a good start on not blowing anything to hell. Two amplifiers pushing the same speaker only makes for silence and smoke. -
cello tuning an electric bass guitar..
Downunderwonder replied to jazz bob's topic in General Discussion
Bass and cello for the Can Can are mostly doubled an octave apart, and quite simple so an ideal intro to 5ths on a bass. Should just be enough to convince a bass 5ths wannabe to give it away. -
The comparison is between various solid bodies with the same pickups and hardware. And air with solid exo skeleton, no connection to the pickup. I couldn't pick any out for being significantly different in those videos. The materials are as disparate as concrete, lumber and air. Has anyone shown a discernable difference between two hardwoods with the same hardware? Put up or....

Why would it not operate at 12 or 16ohm though?

I would have assumed 2-8 meant two 8 ohm cabs could be connected.

What Guitar would a Bassist grab?
Downunderwonder replied to StickyDBRmf's topic in General Discussion
The only reason would be to use it to repel a stage invader, so the closest one I guess. If given a choice of nearby guitars, the pointiest one. -
Not a lot of fixing goes on with those. Could be more new than old after guts ripped out and replaced.

There's a Euro joker on Talkbass who does it lefty on DB. Can't remember his handle. He plays in a lot of small bar folk combos. -
Can I Extend a Combo into a Powered PA Speaker?
Downunderwonder replied to Tokalo's topic in Amps and Cabs
There's not much tone but a lot of power wrapped up in the lowest octave. Taking everything below 80Hz from the combo will let it play a lot louder. You don't need to crank the sub. If you employed a crossover you could have the combo thinned right out and the sub would fill it out. A three way crossover unit would let you set the mid/ low point way low. Send the 'mid' as your sub feed and it could do your 60 to 120hz for you. -
Cab sim into amp head to DI out - yay or nay
Downunderwonder replied to osakasuperrescue's topic in Amps and Cabs
Perfect is the enemy of good. Piling up preamps can wind up hell muddy because they are processing all the previous dirt and mud as if it was clean. Drop A with low A string is likely to flub and flail even before it leaves the pickups. Putting a regular distortion on that is going to be mud city. If your cab sim is the usual low pass filter kind it shouldn't cause and issues. Focus on cleaning up the mud. I am a fan of crossover separation of low end rather than clean blend. -
Slacker only played 12000 notes! Dock his pay!

Can I Extend a Combo into a Powered PA Speaker?
Downunderwonder replied to Tokalo's topic in Amps and Cabs
I don't think the 12" B'ringer PA cab will do much for you. A decent powered sub would be much more viable. Send the fx loop out to the sub and the highs can come back from the sub via the fx return. If the sub is any good it will transform you. -
Plugging preamp into multiple power amps
Downunderwonder replied to mlauritsen's topic in Amps and Cabs
Is there no set of power amp line out / line in on the back of the amps to daisy them? Shirley? The way to deploy two of those cabs is stacked on their sides so the 10" speakers make a 4x10 in a vertical column. It won't take many watts to be LAF. -
This is how the BB800 started out, minus the Kickstarter element. I predict it will go the same way eventually, if not immediately with the simultaneous announcement of the full EQ version. Knobs at noon for actual flat response ideally.

Barefaced Three10 Teaser: Anybody Know More?
Downunderwonder replied to Obrienp's topic in Amps and Cabs
You would have sent the poor wee thing to cab heaven if anywhere near pushing that amp. Class D amps tend to put out a bit more than half the 4 ohm rating at 8 ohm. I think you would still have plenty of knob rotation capacity spare @12 ohm Ask Alex. -
Barefaced Three10 Teaser: Anybody Know More?
Downunderwonder replied to Obrienp's topic in Amps and Cabs
Of course it is usable! By rights it will only need a slightly harder push from the amp to output a similar level to the One10. If it's a bigger cab it might even be a wash wrt knob position and same amp. What did you use with the One10? -
That's going to take half the power and put it through a cab that is twice as efficient. Probably close to the same in and out with the combo speaker as you get solo. You will be able to turn it up to about 4 on the loud knob with impunity. Keep using the earplugs.

Barefaced Three10 Teaser: Anybody Know More?
Downunderwonder replied to Obrienp's topic in Amps and Cabs
It would only be a problem with a really small amp and/or unrealistic expectations. 200w @4 ohm should make a big enough sound for someone considering a 110 gig I would think. If you put a 800w @ 4 amp on it you might get a couple more dB out of it before it was suffering. I think most people would rather take a bigger cab than run a little cab ten 10ths. -
There's been some very entertaining alternative materials used to refute "tonewood" where the pickups strings and preamps have been retained and body and neck materials substituted. Concrete Plastic Lump of 4x2. My personal favourite: air, where the strings were tensioner between two heavy benches and the pickups supported under.

Can you smooth things over with G1 and leave W out of it forevermore? It seems W only came back in part time to Band B to poach G1 for his new project.
