Musicman666 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) I was very impressed with the low b on my headless graphite status 2 using their own strings. The note is very defined, more so than the low e on some other basses. At this scale length I doubt you would get much better.

Downunderwonder Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Wot a steaming pile of bollox. FOH PA's don't reach down to 30hz except in exceptional circumstances. For the same reason Trace Elliot put a red button on the 30hz slider. When a cab is advertised with a -10dB response at 28hz that means you aren't going to hear any 30hz at all. To boost the EQ up to where you could hear 30hz would take a buttload of power that would destroy the speakers. Hoorah for highpass filters that end the nonsense and leave a nice FAT 60hz intact that along with the higher harmonic series in the low B give the sensation it is all there when it ain't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Quite right @Downunderwonder. That said, I think you've never heard self-called sound engineers setting up a PA or worse todays DJ's... 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a waste of time trying to reproduce the fundamental, especially at any volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
