Sorry, missed this bit. If you do go down the road of getting a second bf, set them both to 16ohm. Your amp will be able to deliver more than half the power into 8 than it can into 4, so the difference will be less than 3dB. And you'll be able to turn it up further before the speakers complain. I think you mentioned earlier that you don't use the full capacity of the amp anyway?

Yes I think what Mr RedX said. The difference will be predictable, and the prediction I'd like to make is: you will be happy. "twice the rating of the amp" advice isn't as good as "if it sounds bad to you, change something", as the quoted speaker power rating is usually thermal. If you like a lot of lows, the excursion limit is generally reached long before thermal.

"My Overcomplicated Bi-amp Rig" or "How I Leaned to Love the Boom"
bremen replied to FugaziBomb's topic in Amps and Cabs
Exactly what I'm finding. Lately I've LPFd the subs about 150Hz (it varies) and HPFd the 100w tranny amp and 10" speaker about 70Hz. -
What sort of music do you play? Both kinds, or something unnatural like soul, rock or reggae 😁 What amp? What's your band(s)like? Do you use PA support? Just nosy really, me. The last dozen or more gigs I've done have been on silent stages. Got a gig next week with drums, guitar and shouty man and kind of look forward to wishing my rig was louder.

Thomann SafeCase 80 gig bag - anyone tried one?
bremen replied to franzbassist's topic in Accessories and Misc
Mine spontaneously burst into flames (well, thick black noxious smoke) behind my amp while I played on, blissfully unaware. -
Multi-purpose headphones for bass practice and general music listening

DT770pro here too, and seem almost an industry standard. Like the SM57 is. I'd also recommend custom iems (not all that much dearer than good cans) as much for air travel as for on silent stages. -
OK, it'll be hard to know if the faitals will be an improvement without seeing the numbers. One could take the faital data and predict how they might sound, how loud they'd be and how much power they could take, but not compared to Alex's informed choice of speaker: at the end of the day you'll either be chuffed to bits or listing a nearly new pair of speakers in Marketplace.

Separate preamp/power amp question. I want more volume...

I was going to recommend Pink Flamingoes. I'll check Eurovision, hadn't heard of that. -

Have you seen Spinal Tap? (Or were you channeling M. Whitehouse fir comedy value 🤣) -
+1 for the BEHS here 😉

True, but the 8 ohm cab only needs to be 3dB more efficient than the 4 and they'll both be equally loud. And they'll have response variations that might result in better, maybe worse sound.

bremen replied to Yorkshire Bottom End's topic in Amps and Cabs
If you like the pre and you like the power amp, simplest thing would be a wee box offering about 12dB (opinions?) gain, flat response and maybe a 40Hz HPF. Such things must exist. I can share a design and if you like, buy the bits and stuff the boards. Usual rate, £ to food banks +cost of parts. -
It's a high pass filter. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/506370-fs-50b-build-diary-famed-traynor-bass-preamp-in-pedal-form-from-aion-fx/#findComment-5372370

I believe his new rig goes one beyond 11 - actually to infinity -
I did query that. He muttered something about neck dive. I said, surely just losing the G and its associated tuner and bit of headstock would have been easier? I mean, Jaco only needed 3 strings...
