The multi posts were gone and now they are back with a vengeance.

The echoes are back.

FB is on the way down. Your band URL is hopefully on the way up.

Have at it. What's the worst that can happen? I'd make it a sub forum of Amps and Cabs as it will steer the same inhabitants to contribute.

Curious how this was resolved pre site update.

@Kiwi what about it? Tumbleweeds is not a good look.

Elf 2x8 is expensive because it uses premium Faital drivers. Don't expect cheaper alternatives to perform the same.

The session I went to for years started as open mic night and morphed into unholy jam night once everyone got used to me. It stayed billed as open mic while everyone referred to it as jam night. I would always ask new folk if they wanted the bass. Some should have said no, the odd ones who didn't know their own material well enough, the ones who couldn't keep time. Imo all open mics should be so lucky as to have a bassist capable of sitting in with randoms grace them with their presence.

Ubass would do a good job of upstaging also, for very little cost.

Not sure we're still talking about OP's amp. The pic is from the helper.

Should have got two more made with room for girls.

We have been SansFranciscoed!

Has happened.

Precisely why they scare me to death. It's all very well to set levels on an output but an accidental overload from back up the line is game over.

No hurry then.

Amen. Get a roster together to go round the block a few times each night pumping out the bass at 10.30pm. Then when you have gigs they will be used to it.

IEM scare me to death for the potential for a system out of my control to blow out my ears with one mistake.

I mixed brands 115 210. It sounded great. I tried biamping with crossover using the 115 to cover something like 60hz to 120hz and the 210 120 up. There was an extra bit of clarity to be had, loud enough but not as loud if silly loud was required. I reckon two of the 210 would have covered all bases with one amp.

I was comparing what you would call integrated bass amplifiers.

My point was that both hands have plenty to do so handedness doesn't come into the musical learning process. I don't believe I would have found it any more difficult to graduate from squawks to listenable, eventually to toneful, on a lefty violin. Maybe there's some advantage to righties to doing the bowing of strings with the dominant hand and arm, but I reckon it has to be tiny because the fingering is so mightily complex also. Advantage to the band of having everyone in neat rows not banging into each other, overwhelming!

Mine has no preamp, pure piezo. Trace 1Mohm input impedance doesn't bat an eyelid, just pumps out bass. Mixing desks, fogedaboudit!

Actually I believe lefthandedness is a leading indicator of musicality so would be higher than the gen pop rate.

Methinks you forgot about your fretting the bass? I started on violin. From memory had it been the convention to do it ^lefty^ it would have been no less difficult. Both hands have a lot to do in the way of fine motor control. I tried bowing my acoustic bass the other day. Did not compute thanks to the action being 'anticlockwise' from the violin. One day I will have to spend a whole weekend getting to grips with it. If you don't believe me try getting your violin playing mate to play it reversed in their lap. Not many would produce any song.

And still the misconception lives. Fundamental frequencies are seldom produced by the subs in professional application. The -10dB sensitivity point on the RCF might be 30hz. To make 30hz as loud as 80hz would take 10x the amount of power. So no point in trying, either the whole system has to be throttled back or the subs get given death by the low EQ being goosed. I have given a club owner a proper fright with my highpassed system being sound checked with a keyboard powering up on 11. Oops. I don't remember if he didn't want the synth psychedelic metal band anywhere near his PA or the band knew mine was better for purpose but I got the call. The club had more subs than me but maybe they hadn't been properly high passed. Put the big energy into 60 to 90hz. WHOMP! Sure gave the guy a fright.

Thanks, explains how come my piezo Ubass requires less gain than my regular pickup basses on my Trace amp but it couldn't get an Ashdown going with everything on 11.
