Mr. Foxen

Dunno in quite that much detail. I basically asked the same question.

[quote name='Salt on your Bass?' post='1078569' date='Jan 5 2011, 02:07 PM']Any word or hints on how the SuperFifteen differs from the vintage? I was gutted when the vintage was taken out of production, so pretty interested in its reincarnation (if thats what infact it is!!!) [/quote] Different shape, basically, optimised for solid state amps (as this was how people used it) rather than valve ones. I'd guess basically, deeper narrower box.

[quote name='JMT3781' post='1077625' date='Jan 4 2011, 06:26 PM']Ashton - Beginner combos and giant (cheap) all valve stuff[/quote] Do you have the 300w all valve job? I really want to hear about those from someone who has actually plugged into one.

I had mine up for sale for £250 for ages and it didn't go, gave in and ebayed it, made nearly that much. They don't go for much when they do come up, so keep an eye out. Good unit, overkillfor my purpose when I have a VT bass and it covers me.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='1071278' date='Dec 28 2010, 09:16 PM']No, totally different direction! These 10"s don't even have neo magnets, but purely because we're going for a more valve amp friendly motor, which means you can make a ferrite magnet and the resulting frame quite small and light so neo would have only marginal weight benefit and the reduced power compression from typical neo motors isn't relevant with the low power output from valve amps.[/quote] Are they Jensen MOD10s? Was toying with loading my ABM 8x10 with those, but figured might as well use guitar cabs. Totally curious as to whether I was on the right track with those.

I'd ask about on a vintage amps forum, some of them love Goodmans speakers, but might be only certain ones.

I reckon best of sticking guitar drivers in and using it as toppy cab.

'Theft' is also a legal term, and doesn't apply to downloading music, but does to stealing bread. If you buy some bread and program your breadmaker to make perfect copies of your bread, and give them to your friends, your friends aren't thieving the bread either. If that car is in a place where the PRS rules are applicable, then playing that music requires a licence, such as in the garage playing music whilst the mechanics work on it. But it isn't the listener that is in breach, it is the owner of the place. Analogous to the internet, it isn't the one receiving the music who is in breach, but rather the sender.

[url="http://choke.bandcamp.com/album/minutiae"]Download this compilation to which I contributed.[/url] Spotify functions to make money for the record label/industry and neatly bypass most of the artists revenue streams, hence even massive ones making very little money. Technology moves on, people have the option to move with it or not, some of those people are artists, most that choose not to move with it will cease to make money from it. Occasionally the really inventive ones will find themselves a niche. I like niche music, so I win.

After that previous thread, and paying attention to the relevant news and such, I'm pretty damn sure downloading isn't illegal in this country, which is why people can't be done for downloading. It is filesharing (specifically the uploading part where you send to someone else) that is illegal. Worse to give than recieve.

Gogo gadget wanted ad.

[quote name='StevePearceBass' post='1069328' date='Dec 25 2010, 08:32 PM']a really cheap, plastic little Chinese-made Behringer bass phaser pedal made the bass sound on 'You should be Dancin'.[/quote] This pleases me enourmously. Not often the B gets a good mention.

It isn't an espcially useful way of looking at it, there is a bunch of other factors involved, all else is never equal. 2x10 and a 15 are sort of comparable in sensitivity as a horrific generalisation (volume to power), but there is more to it. Porting a cab adds a bunch of sensitivity, and 15s are often ported and 8x10s often aren't. [url="http://barefacedbass.com/technical-information.htm"]Have a look here.[/url] And browse about the rest of the site, lots of tech nerding there.

There is a lot more air stuck to the 10" speakers than the 15, so the same amount of power will move correspondingly more air. That means it will both be louder and that it will be able to more otal air when it is at maximum. This means the 8x10 will totally drown out the sound of the 15 tearing itself to shreds. Actually, if you had an entirely seperate amp and a really good 15 in a really ideal box, made just to put out lower frequencies than an 8x10 can, so basically a 3015LF loaded subwoofer, possibly a horn one, and ran it with its own amp and crossover, it could add useful content, bt you might as well not use an 8x10 then, and use something more suitable.

[quote name='Stewart' post='1068561' date='Dec 24 2010, 10:13 AM']Why not just use a DI box (one with a 30 or 40dB pad - there are several) hanging straight of the speaker output ?[/quote] It will make the impedance on the output transformer very unhappy.

You need 2 cabs to run a Strategy full tilt.

[quote name='joegarcia' post='1067829' date='Dec 23 2010, 02:55 PM']To make me jealous?[/quote] NAh, if I swap out the Carlsbro for it my amp pile just touches the ceiling, rather than having an inch gap.

[quote name='Shockwave' post='1067787' date='Dec 23 2010, 02:00 PM']Hmm if the 69er will be the same size as my vintage i may have to consider it! Though the impedence might be an issue :S[/quote] I call dibs on the Vintage.

If you are after hi-fi, probably want to start by not limiting to 4x10s.

When I say 'colouration' I mean 'distortion'.

Every time I've done a guitar setup for someone who detunes, it has never been to suit their voice. The half step is always because some cheesy blues dude did it, and the really down was either 'because it's heavy' or 'because Metallica play in standard, so screw doing that'. And when complicated chords "****ed up a whole generation"m do you means 'taught them to play jazz' or 'forced them to play punk'?

[quote name='stevebasshead' post='1067912' date='Dec 23 2010, 04:32 PM']Nah, they've just stuck an unnecessary word in front. All watts are analog. If there was a digital watt it would have a value of 1 or 0. A watt or a not-a-watt...[/quote] I guess they are trying to appeal to the anti class D crowd. Which in fairness is kind of off or on in a sense.

Guitarists do this because they heard SRV and Hendrix did it. That is pretty much the sole reason.
