Mr. Foxen

I used the white stuff from Maplins, I've nearly run out.

I've found cheap upgrade aftermarket pickups to still be an upgrade to the stock pickups on real cheap guitars. I don't think pickups are very complicated pieces of equipment, there is really limited scope to spending money on making them.

Should use shielded wire to carry signal in a guitar. Gives you the earth path built in, and cuts down noise.

On its own: It does look tiny. Sounds big though.

Substitute the SC120 for the green Matamp, couldn't face lifting it.

That went for dick all. Wish someone had bought my 5150.

If you are young enough to be that buff, you are not old enough to rock a 'tache like that.

The danger is one cab being louder than the other, so it drowns out the weaker one farting out, so you don't pull your volume before it dies. Then it dies, and you turn up to compensate and the other one dies too. Which is why I just sent 2 10" and a 15" to the scrap yard.

I'd quess an electric over would be better than gas, because gas ones are moist from the gas burning (which is why they cook stuff differently). I always figured putting them in the control cavity is a good plan, but I never remember when I have a bass open.

I was intending to get another ashdown cab, just the 1 x 15 is that likely to cause a problem? I think another 4 x 10 might be overkill so maybe I should go for an ashdown 2 x 10 - still problematic? If you think I should just get a matching 410 then please let me know.[/quote] It is having different speakers (not just size, just different ones) that is the problem, they don't match each other across the board and cancel out in certain positions and frequencies (so it sounds different depending where you are in the room). If you want to do the 4x10 + 2x10, aim for a 16 ohm 2x10 to go with a 8ohm 4x10 (with the same speakers in it), so each speaker gets the same power, if they are both 8 ohm, the 2x10 will be taking twice as much power per speaker.

[quote name='Dogsbreath' post='1344149' date='Aug 18 2011, 10:55 AM']Thanks - best start searching for the 15" cab![/quote] If you like the sound of the 4x10 one, get another the same, mixing up causes problems.

Speaker efficiency and voicing. The Peavey is probably much middlier. If you can rig it, compare the amp into the other speaker section.

If people want to try out gear, they should visit their friendly neighbourhood House of Bass.

Guitarists always seem to be using my amps.
