1st Q. The 1x15s frequency response is 40hz - 20khz. The 4x10s frequency response is 35hz - 20khz. So if the idea of adding the 15 was for extra bass, then it's futile. My choice would be either 2 102HFs or 2 Club 600f32s (stacked vertically). I'd also be looking at Barefaced cabs. 4x10s have a narrower dispersion, but there's many topics on here about that already.

+1 to both points. My guitar was strung with Martin strings & when the G snapped I replaced it with a Meridian (only brand I could get at the time) & whilst it sounded fine played unplugged, it was noticeably quieter when plugged in.

The hollow bits are just acoustic chambers either side of a massive slab of maple. So, you can think of it as semi acoustic; or you can think of it as a solidbody with acoustic chambers; or you could (stretching the point a bit) call it an archtop as well. [/[i]pedantry[/i]] Come to think of it, if I [i]could [/i]only rescue one guitar from the flames, it would have to be that one I guess. Maybe I can risk getting a bit singed and pick up the Takamine acoustic as well? [/quote] So it's really a semi-semi-acoustic archtop?

You did miss Semi-Acoustic off the list (they're hollow bodied electrics such as the 335).

I'm an Electro-Acoustic kinda guy & got a Freshman FA300. Had a few electrics in the past & whilst they're a doddle to play, the Freshman is a more versatile too for me as I can play it unplugged at home/parties or plug it in & fire it through some fx. A friend has a 12 string jobby & they're a pain in the butt for tuning & then retuning!

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1338039399' post='1668896'] yeah the pot's on it currenty are quite high quality, and one of them isn't a standard value- so finding replacements would be hard. I also like the idea of them being hidden away on the back- no idea why it just appeals to me! [/quote] I've always liked the Ritter basses that have the pots & the jack hidden round the back. Less clutter on the front (though some basses would look odd without any pots on the front).

Stating the obvious here... Your 4x10 is a much bigger box that has drivers that cover twice the mass of the 2 1x10s. if it was 2 2x10s & you'd be covering the same sort of territory. And to answer your question, not anywhere as much as it's made out to by sales & marketing.

[quote name='Ashwood1985' timestamp='1337942126' post='1667664'] Hi guys, I've just picked up a factory made fretless SR1000CT from eubassix on here. On its way to me: will post regarding it once I receive [/quote] It's a lovely looking bass. Looks like a fretless version of mine & was tempted myself by it (good job I'm skint).

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1337938731' post='1667590'] I have to say I don't like combos. They are less flexible, more complicated to upgrade, heavier and more expensive to buy. I think the larger 210 gets the better tone and 2 together makes for a loud, full and fat toned, easy to move, modular rig. I'd get 1 102HF cab and see how it fits in with your LM2 and 115. You might want to stop upgrading right there. [/quote] I'd usually agree, but the MB 2x10 combo is 44lb, so only 1lb more & is the same size as teh 102HF.

I had originally thought that your info was right & then though "my 2x10 combo is 44lb & it's @ the same size", so had a check on MB's site.

The Markbass 102HF is 43lb, not 50. So a good bit lighter than the Berg by over 10lb (that's like carrying an extra bass on top of it!).

18's aren't dub, this is Dub territory

It does look tighter than a gnats. Another tasty looking box & I'm liking the look of that unusual LED.

What is it with guitarists trying to bee uber loud? Almost all the ones I've spoken to, let alone heard, don't understand what a band mix is. It's like the band is there for them to noodle over!

Not a lot in it at all. It really depends on what you like the sound of & the best advice is to go to somewhere that stocks a few different brands (likes of Bass Direct).

If they can't be easily bumped by your hip/belly/other body part, then yes, I think it's a good idea if it's a decent saving.

I suppose it could be their marketing plan to make the cabs seem like they're uber reliable & takes a lot to blow them? If so, they should look at the build quality of their cabs!

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1337863797' post='1666564'] Not that it matters all that much, as output is limited by the driver displacement, not the power rating. Ampeg drivers tend to be very conservatively rated, so a 200w Ampeg driver may have the same displacement as another company's 400w driver. [/quote] So is it worth buying an Ampeg driver & sticking it in a decent cab?

It's 4 ohm. If your amp doesn't run down to a 2 ohm load, then you wont be able to add another cab to it. It's also a 4x10 & heavy. If none of those are an issue to you, then go for it.

According to Ampeg's website it's 200w.

His duet "Dot" are pretty cool too. A mix of Dubstep & Metal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brXLVRbJ77M

Why not get 2 2x10s? It would be much lighter, have a consistent sound (if you used the 1 cab at a gig & then the 2 at the next gig, you'd have the same sound but more of it) and it would give you a better dispersion (I'm sure I've posted that somewhere else ). You could probably get 2 better 2x10s for your money (depending on your budget of course).

If you want your hearing tested, go to the EN&T clinic. It's free & you don't have to download anything. I'm deaf as a post in my left ear & have partial sight in the other one.

So it might be a case of plug your bass into the fx rack in & then take a cable from the left out on the fx rack to one amp's input & the same from the right out. I wouldn't bother with the fx loops on your amps unless you want to bypass the EQs on both of the amps. Then just plug the FX rack's outs into the "FX return" on each amp. Or if you just want to use the GK's EQ, plug the bass into the GK's input, take the "FX send" from the GK into the FX rack & then take the out's to each of the "FX returns". Too many options now?
