Hang in for a bit. If they are as crash hot as you say then you can all agree on a version and 1st run thru of the new tune is the penultimate number at the next gig. Drummers go where the gigs are. Better let them know how you feel about having your time taken for granted.

Not so great unless the active sub can do the filtering for the tops. Sending full range to the tops is what he was wanting to avoid in the first place.
-
Sure you can. Active crossover and your spare amp. Boom.

Scam or safe to buy on Bass Chat?
Downunderwonder replied to theplumber's topic in General Discussion
That's what they said. But actually that's not what happened according to OP. The seller and OP concur that the numbers were correct and yet the bank sent the money somewhere else. APP scam literally means the receiver is a scammer being sent money deliberately by a duped bank customer. I call bs on the bank. -
Any crossover will do the trick so long as you have the right cabling. You can go all fancy with a Driverack, or just a simple rack crossover unit.

Found an image on Thomman of a Dynacord Powermate 600 2x 1000w mixer. It is plastered in outputs and inputs for your amp section. RTFM. And tell me that's not a rebranding of B'ringer. You need a crossover and a power amp and a few cables. Go somewhere else to get them. Plenty of used available. You don't even need a big amp as a piddly little one can do your tops while the mixer does the subs. If your speaker cables for your subs are on the short side you would be better getting long signal cables and a sub amp can go along with the subs over by the wall.

If I had been your vendor there is no way you would have even gone down this road let alone been blowing up stuff. I have never seen a mixer that could not have a crossover applied to the mix before the amp send. Quid pro quo, your vendor is an idiot.

They are completely different animals. I would not form any opinion on the custom molds based on the universal ones. 15dB is pretty minimal if you are right next to the PA stack but for goodness sakes put them in both ears!!!!!
-
Photograph the ins and outs of your mixer for someone to tell you how to patch in another amp all crossed over for your subs. There should be some external fx route or main mix insert that you can fire the whole orchestra through to a crossover. Easy and cheap.

Cheapest "ergonomically safe" and "decent" EUB
Downunderwonder replied to Paolo85's topic in EUB and Double Bass
I recommend not going down the BG on a stick route. The flatness of the fingerboard can only give you bad juju at both ends forcing you to adapt your techniques to its cranky form. The Stagg has holes for the rests both sides. You could make a set of more substantial additions to better mimic a full body experience and use those holes to key into. Kinda defeating the main aim of the stick ie portability, but suits your purpose. -
Swings and roundabouts. I was coming down the escalator from a casino gig with sack truck piled up with Trace Elliot. At bottom is drunk fan waiting to "help me off". No amount of screaming at him to get out of the fine way was working until the penny dropped at the last second.

Cheaper by far to buy another amp and do active management.

Looks homely enough to me. BYO lawn chairs and all. Shame about the F&B as that's the next thing people remember if the band is good or bad.

The Stagg hip prop is made of aluminium so it can be customized to you. It can't twizzle if it's on your hip. -

Show me a photo of someone using the weight of their shoulder and arm to put pressure on strings. -
Electric and Electro Acoustic / Double Bass
Downunderwonder replied to Dazed's topic in Amps and Cabs
Yes. But it will require trimming high and low to conform to norms. -
Bass 10" speakers vary widely in their tuning requirements. It is impossible to make a recommendation without the cab and porting dimensions.
-
Cabs don't rustle. Could be a scratchy pot, no big deal. At least it looks like it has had an easy life.
-
I only replaced my Cool Cat because it was a heavy lump. Actually it sounded more lush than the MXR that was the better fit on my sumo board. Nought wrong with cheapies if they sound how you want.
-
A nicely pumped up kick will sound much better coming from a well placed sub or two. Just don't get carried away. You could easily catch lead kick syndrome.

Go for gold mate.
