[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1492425237' post='3280088'] Doubling the number of speakers gives you (all things being equal) +3dB , halving the power gives you -3dB.. So the nett effect is 0 dB.. [/quote] 8 ohm is usually @ 2/3 of the watts of 4 ohm (e.g. 500w at 4 ohm would be about 350w at 8 ohm). The other benefit of an 8 ohm load is less wear on the amp's components. This is coming from me, who runs a single 4 ohm cab. The other thing to take into account, the amp probably won't be turned up full tilt, so the 2 cabs would give a fuller sound.

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1491687157' post='3274848'] I use Ableton live and no way I'm getting Mac. It's overrated..... [/quote] Ableton live will happily run on a Macbook. My Mrs works in 2nd & 3rd line IT & for years and had the same sentiment as you towards Macs. 10 years ago I got an iMac & she said she'd never use it. After a few months I couldn't get her off the damn thing. She now has her own Macbook Pro. On paper they look like a poor spec, but that's always been the case. Me, I'll happily use anything that runs what I need it to. I'm not pro or anti any technology. I run Logic on an iMac & love it.

I hope he insured the bass for loss/damage whilst being shipped?

PC or Mac? Reaper is great on both PC & Mac, but if you have a Mac, then GarageBand is free & superb. Oh, & you could have a look at the sticky in the "recording" section. Full of helpful stuff.

Been listening to Jamiroquai's new album for the past 3 days, it's rather good.

Like I said in a different thread, some fx (such as dirt & modulation) are better placed directly between the bass & the amp & not in the loop. As you have pedals, you might find the they all sound better out of the loop, but it's down to personal taste. So you would have a cable running from bass to board (or go wireless to the board) & then a cable from board to amp. The only other cable would be to power the board.

Depending on your fx, you might find putting the fx directly between your bass & amp works better.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1491161880' post='3270956'] They should have kept the VLE! [/quote] + Wads! I found the VPF only of use at home to act kinda like a "Loudness" button did on the 80s Hifi. The VLE on the other hand, always came in handy at gigs. Maybe they're targeting the home player with this one? Still a nice looking rig.

Just a couple of watts might be fine if you have efficient cabs & the amp is capable. I've gigged with a Vox Venue 30 (1x12 combo) with a blues band years ago & whilst it's not been trouser flapping, I wasn't drowned out by the rest of the band.

I also bought a nice 4Ω 4x10 from these pages, but mine's an EBS. Sounds lovely hooked up to my Radiovox. I know later in the coming years I'll be replacing it with a 2x12 for better dispersion & easier to manage, but for now, none of that is an issue. To answer the OP, I believe the Barefaced 4x10 has much better dispersion due to 2 of the drivers being on a LPF. It's also a better engineered cab.

Voted for you. Not just for being a fellow BCer, but also because it's a cracking tune!

That's 2/3 of the weight of mine. You're almost class D!

I think my track's gonna be "War" inspired.

My Radiovox amp is 33.4 kg. How does this compare to other valve amps?

Just noticed that I came 3rd! Chuffed to bits that 9 people actually liked my tune.

Well done Looking forward to this month's inspiration pic, so choose wisely.

Some truly amazing entries this month. I'm keen to see what next month's pic is gonna be.

At church, we normally all use IEM & play through the PA. Last night was team night, where all the musicians turn up to learn one or two new songs. There's 4 bassists (we work on a rota) & I was asked if I could bring a rig so that 2 bassists could practice playing at the same time. I had intended on taking the wee 1x12 Vox combo, but decided to take the Radiovox/EBS rig & glad I did, as I was competing with the rest of the band going through PA. Got nothing but compliments on the sound & the other bassists & a few other musicians all asked for a play. One bassist has a rather nice Sandberg & when he played my bass his first words were "Ooooh, that's a very comfortable bass. I love these flat wound strings too". The downside (which I can live with)... The amp weighs an absolute ton!

So is there a new genre?... Melodic Country Rock? Who'd have thought, "melodic" & "country" in the same sentence!

Some great mentions. D'Angelo's Chicken Grease. Pino on bass making a couple of notes sound funky.

Same here. Air are superb.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1490175450' post='3262779'] The Ampeg website lists all the current PF cabs as 8 ohms, hence the assumption. [/quote] Fairy muff.

What Ω are your cabs each? You never said in the post & everyone's assuming that they're both 8Ω. If one is 8Ω & the other is 4Ω, then that makes 2.66Ω, which could damage your amp. If they're both 4Ω cabs, then that's gonna be a 2Ω load Given the choice & if I liked the sound of the 1x15, I'd have went for a 2nd 1x15 & made a 2x15 rig (better dispersion than the 4x10). If you prefer the sound of the 4x10, then get a 2nd 4x10 if you need more. A 2x10 in your set up means that 2 drivers are gonna be running twice as hard as the other 4 (this is if all cabs are 8Ω). Your way around it is if you have a 4Ω 4x10 & an 8Ω 2x10, but your amp may not handle this.
