  1. [font="verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][size="2"][color="#141414"]I heard despite it's popularity, mixing an 18 or a 15 with a 4x10 is a really bad idea. Either will be a weak point in your system. Neither will be able to keep up with a 4x10 in output or in sensitivity. I was told If I really need two cabinets then identical is the way to go, agree or disagree? [/color][/size][/font]
  2. Paul King, I like the cut of your jib Sir! I have some experimenting to do. Regarding current equipment, my pick up is a Fishman Shadow SH 955 NFX Nanoflex Pickup with Preamp. Is that what you call "underwood"? My amp is a Orange Terror Bass Hybrid with Trace Elliot 4 x10 & 1 x18 speakers. 1000 watts. Overkill, I know; I was playing Reggae Rock Fusion in my previous band. If my Bass Fairy Godmother granted me a wish to choose an acoustic sensitive bass amp, I've been reading about the A.E.R. Basscube 2, would that be a good choice? It would certainly be easier to haul into the back of the car. I have not come across one second hand. The price tag made me do an impression of a car mechanic prior to an expensive quote. I have not seen one under £2000 pounds sterling. Thank you for the insightful advice. I will try cheap and cheerful first with cost effective adjustments such as [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]damping/muffling, use of F-hole covers, EQ-ing and I'll see if I can splash out on a [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fishman Pro Platinum. Not sure if this is the darkside though. Woiuld that make you Vader or Yoda?[/font][/color]
  3. [color=#4b0082][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Hello I’m a newbie to forum posting and to double bass playing.[/font][/color] [color=#4b0082][font=comic sans ms,cursive] I’ve recently started to play upright bass in a band that appears to be drowning me out. To compensate I’m using amplification I usually use for my Fender solid body. This was a compromise in terms of authentic sound. I’ve noticed I have lost some of the nuances of the double bass original sound. Feedback is the main enemy and I’m exploring the use of preamp EQ’s to combat this. I currently have a Boss GEB 7 I used to use with a five string solid body guitar but looking around I came across the Fishman pro-eq platinum. I haven’t tried it yet. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Any ideas on Preamp EQ’s? Or experience in the best way of fighting feedback when more volume is required?[/font][/color] [color=#4b0082][font=comic sans ms,cursive] Yours thoughts are most welcome.[/font][/color]
