Jonny Walker Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 swapping my mesa 1000 for a zilla 6x12... i know its the trend to get tiny lightweight cabs but i really don't see a problem having a big rig as we have a band van and everyone helps each other carry the gear in... wish people would man up a bit!

dmccombe7 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Rehearsals normally used a GB Streamliner with 2 112ae cabs. Lightweight and valve pre-amp. For gigs with 5 piece rock covers band i used GB STL 600 with Berg HT322 (heavy beast 1x12, 2x10 & horn) and warwick IV into the 2 112 cabs (drummer used these as monitors to hear bass as they are rear ported) Normally larger gigs. Nowadays i have same cabs but with Gallien Kreuger 1001RBi for large gigs and smaller MB200 for small gigs and rehearsals. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryc Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1392067414' post='2364383'] I use a Carvin BX 500 head into a single 1x12 Purple Chili cab. Would quite like a second matching can (well, not matching, would quite like the vinyl to stay on the next one)! Haven't had to turn master above 3 yet but would still like to hear a second cab running. [/quote] If you are ever in Weymouth you are welcome to try my one.

[/quote] I am going to print this post and mail it to you in thirty years time. See if you still feel the same way then! There was a time when I used to [i][b]look forward[/b][/i] to lugging my two Trace cabs out of a gig (both at around 45kg) - one in each hand! Not now though...

DaytonaRik Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) 1 x 15 combo coupled with a 2 x 10 extension cab, could happily rehearse with just the combo if one of two guitarists realised volume is self-defeating!!! For home practice it's the Ashdown emulator on Ampkit and a set of headphones or GarageBand and a sub/satellite setup Edited February 12, 2014 by DaytonaRik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1392059601' post='2364233'] Mine is 0mm x 0mm x 0mm [/quote] That would make it a singularity. Whatever you do, don't assign any mass to it - if you do, it will rapidly turn into a black hole and consume the entire planet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 For quite a few years, I used a GK 200MB combo as my gig rig. I've moved back up to bigger stuff now, use a Tecamp Puma 900 head for everything with a TC RS112 for smaller venues and a Tech Soundsystems ND410S for larger ones.

KevB Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 For home practice I have a little 25W Marshall 1x10 combo sat on top of a chest of drawers in my 'office/music room' (ie the third bedroom that's naff all use for anything else). It's getting abit old now but still does a job, not sure if they make them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] i only have a big rig when i know people (particularly the drummer) will help lug things around, in which case my back would still be going strong in x years. p.s. carrying a 45kg cab in each hand is just idiotic unless your an Olympic body builder or there's a honey bager coming...

xgsjx Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1392023416' post='2363580'] ...Of amps used for gigging I remember my first Bass Bash, everyone set up huge stacks around the room and there I stood with my Laney RB7 300W 2X10 combo feeling a little small. I'm not in a load band , I rarely use it to it's full potential. Bigger venues I've played DI it , I wouldn't mind adding a 15" cab to it for extra lows but I could live without it. Anyone use anything smaller?Or do you have a big one ?(ooh er) [/quote] How do you know a 1x15 will give you extra lows? If you want extra lows, get a sub.
