Hump de bump

Does anyone have a link to a tab? I can't find it anywhere.

Well I changed the battery and it has made a difference, going to try it out next week in practice to see how it copes. The whole house was vibrating last night so I'm guessing it should be ok.

Can you guys recommend me any?

I bought Stevie's Ashdown LG 1000, kept me informed all the time and the item was spot on. Top bloke.

[quote name='Paul_C' post='811903' date='Apr 19 2010, 09:18 PM']I could be wrong, but I have a feeling a Stingray can operate without a battery even connected - so it might be that.[/quote] Well I best get my arse to the shop in the morning to find out. I'm certain my guitar seems quieter. Bought my cab last night and the guy plugged his bass into my head and it was huge but not so much with mine. Even my little tourbus 10 could pump out a biggish sound (well big enough for my miserable neighbours) but that seems to be quiet too.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='811891' date='Apr 19 2010, 09:10 PM']As far as I know, there's no passive bypass on a Stingray, so in answer to your question, it won't be so much quiet as utterly silent. [/quote] Hm its not silent just seems to be quiet, maybe its the amp.

If the battery goes will it make the instrument quiet? Bought a new amp and its not as loud as I thought. Also seems to be quieter on my practice amp too?

This should be a pretty big sound should it not? COmbined the 2 yesterday and it's not as loud as I'd hoped.

Well I bought the cab, the sound is not as huge as I thought it would be. Wonder if the battery needs replacing in my Stingray.

[/quote] Cheers mate. I'll be gutted if I get there and they don't fit I'll have to tell him its a no can do.

What are 4x10's usually like for size? I don't mind if theyre heavy but I'm gonna need to fit them in my boot. I drive a VW Passat.

[quote name='dood' post='808913' date='Apr 16 2010, 09:18 PM']Yep, a cabinet rated at 350W RMS will be fine being fed with an amplifier that can drive 370W RMS into an 8 Ohms load. It may be 20W more - but, the likelyhood of being able to play the amp constantly at 350W RMS is ..well.. you won't You can add a second 8Ohm cabinet to that channel at a later date. Thus the amp will be able to deal it the full 500W from said channel. You then have the option of doing exactly the same on the *other* channel: two 8 ohm cabinets will give you a 4 Ohm load on that channel too. Thus, you'll be making use of the full 1000W RMS - and it will go in to 4 cabinets. I think that would possibly upset your guitarist - but I think it would deliver some air movement! You can of course opt for ONE 4 Ohm cabinet per channel. I don't know if the LG1000 is 'bridgeable'. I suspect not, so I won't go in to that right now![/quote] That is like Andy Rourke to my ears pal, and my guitarist won't say nothing my instrument is bigger than his. Thanks.

Just bought this item [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160422099713"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=160422099713[/url] To match the LG 1000, am I right in thinking this will be OK? It's my first ever rig and I know its probs not the highest quality but I needed something cheap and I reckon I've got meself a bargain as Ididn't pay £150 As the LG is split into 2x500 at 4ohms will I be able to add another 8 ohm cab at a later date? Think I read on here it pumps out 370 watts at 8ohms will the cab be ok? Sorry for the rambling I'm a little drunk and a little excited.

Where are you practicing out of interest?

[quote name='steviedee' post='799878' date='Apr 8 2010, 03:14 PM']Hey Steven This is what I bought for the LG A Flite Cabinet it’s a light (50 lb) stereo 4x10. It was built by Kurt Meyer at Flite for a US customer who wanted two 2x10s put into a single 4x10 sized cabinet and still have it be superlight. [url="http://www.flitecabs.com/"]http://www.flitecabs.com/[/url] The specs are as follows: - each side is a 3-way 2x10 cab; they are built together to make it a 4x10 (a la old Ampeg SVT cabs). - Rated at 300 watts RMS @ 4 ohms/side - 600 watts total - Each side has two 10” woofers, a 5" mid, and a tweeter - Speakers are Eminence. - Each side has attenuators for the mids and highs - Each side has two Speakon connectors and a 1/4" input connector - The previous owner said the efficiency rating was 99db @ 1watt/meter. - comes with a custom non-padded cover - 26” high x 28” wide x 14.75” deep - Weight 50 lbs You just take separate outs from the LG into each side of the cab it works perfectly, my issue was how light can a 4x10 be and the answer is not very! Cheers Stevie [attachment=46758:cab.jpg][/quote] That looks pretty tasty that like but I'll probably have to settle for something old and dirty and 'orrible. Remind me never to try and buy a bass rig while I'm in the process of buying a house.

I'm happy to only use half of the amp for the time being I can add later. Think I understand this now though.

[quote name='Conan' post='799852' date='Apr 8 2010, 02:50 PM']I'm fairly sure this means that it has two channels that can either be run [b]separately[/b] (like two separate 500 watt amps) or "[b]bridged[/b]" together to get a single-channel 1000 watt amp.[/quote] Hm I thought the LG 1000 was non bridgeable if thats a word. I am prepared to be corrected however.

[quote name='Conan' post='799841' date='Apr 8 2010, 02:38 PM']The amp will only put out it's maximum power (1000 watts if it really [i]is[/i] that powerful!) when it's running flat out. It's highly unlikely you will ever need such an amp running flat out so I wouldn't worry too much about trying to match the power handling of the cabs to the claimed output of the amp! Remember though that you will only get the max power if the total impedance of the cab/cabs is 4 ohms! Two 8 ohm cabs will give the desired result, as will one 4 ohm cab. If you run it through one 8 ohm cab you will "only" get (at a guess) around 600 watts. Still a [i][b]LOT[/b][/i] of power for a regular band setting, but again you will only get this amount of power if the amp runs flat out. Basically, what you have in your LG1000 is [b][i]loads[/i][/b] of headroom (power in reserve if you like). If you could stretch to a BareFaced Big One or Vintage, I suspect your sound would be [b][i]awesome[/i][/b]! Interestingly though, the Big One runs at SIX ohms, so you wouldn't quite get the full kilowatt (that sounds cool doesn't it?!), but the sensitivity of the cab would make it sound even louder! Confusing? You bet! As already stated, the choice of speaker cabs is a massive part of what your eventual "sound" will be - so try as many as you can and choose carefully (or, on the other hand, if you're like me - just buy the first one(s) that you like the look of and can afford!!). There are loads of great choices on here, and some brilliant prices. Good luck man![/quote] Cheers mate that makes things a little easier becasue the LG1000 is 2x500 watts I thought I would need a speaker with at least 500w of power. I think I'm gonna have to get an older amp I don't mind how it looks as long as the sound is good.

[quote name='voxpop' post='799749' date='Apr 8 2010, 01:02 PM']How about my Genz Benz 2 x 10 cab.....light, powerful and punchy sound. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=83516"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=83516[/url][/quote] That would be perfect but I didn't have that much £ to spend unfortunately
