    Bass through guitar speakers- Wait, hear me out!!

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    I have been playing around with the idea of a passive crossover; feeding highs to a guitar cab and lows to a bass cab.

    What frequency would we want to crossover at? 800Hz, 500Hz - even lower?

    The downside is that you wouldn't be making much use of the full range potential of the bass cab speaker, I guess.

    What are peoples thoughts here?

    Phil, Bill,
    Thank-you both for your inputs.
    I think I'm going review and cross reference some 12" speaker datasheets to see if I can identify one close to V30 specs.
    I guess I wouldn't know whether it is the V30 in particular I liked the sound of 'most' (compared to other guitar speakers), as I haven't played a great deal of bass through guitar speakers... I have though, played through a fair amount of bass cabs, and ultimately, a wide range of specific bass speakers. The majority though, have all been ported...

    I like the idea of a sealed cabinet with a pair of 12" drivers. One of the better cabs I played my V4 through (to my ears), was a Matamp 4x8 (sealed, with the dodgy, but fair quality chinese neodymium speakers Jeff managed to come by...).

    I really appreciate the help gents, thanks again; I'll definitely be posting here again with equally silly questions :)

    So...
    I took delivery of an American Fender Dimension Deluxe V last week; beautiful bass.

    With my Trace V4 and associated cabs all covered up and stacked out of the way from a gig a couple of weeks back, I was too impatient to set it all up in the lounge to try my new bass...

    My Engl Thunder 50 combo was set up in my lounge from some gui**ar noodling the previous night.

    I decided to plug the bass in for a quick test- It sounded really good? Albeit at a very low volume and with bass freq eq'd low.

    Later in the week I setup my V4 and a 2103H; after playing through the ENGL combo, I couldn't help but notice a lack of clarity/definition and sharp response that I had heard through the gui**ar amp?

    It got me thinking about bands in the 60's and early 70's; without the abundance of bass gear available that we have today, they appeared to use guitar cabinets of a sort. The cabs would blow a lot apparently, as you might imagine.

    My question to the experts:
    Is there a modern speaker/cab that can provide the clarity and sharp response from the Vintage 30 fitted to my ENGL combo, but is designed to withstand bass frequencies?

    Bit of an odd one I know; maybe one for those who seek to replicate vintage bass tones...
