Gank Bass Posted January 12 Posted January 12 First gig of 2025, a birthday party, but the venue was part of a busy restaurant so they asked us to be mindful of volume. Felt like a great excuse to use my little cab for a little low end whilst the pa did the heavy lifting. Forgot how nice these eden cabs are and I got it for a steal. 4 Quote

msb Posted January 21 Posted January 21 (edited) My Jo Choui amp arrived , I believe the form was inspired by the Demeter Minnie. This should become my gigging rig for the time being. Edited January 21 by msb Trying to include photo Quote

I use the Phil Jones double 4 for my main feed to the desk and my own monitoring for the acoustic band. Plenty loud enough and a huge sound😁🤘 Quote
msb Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Now I did pick up a Barefaced One10 and it’s not much larger , and can fill a room. But the C2 is wonderful if you sit directly in front of it at low volume , but it just doesn’t fill a room. Quote

bigthumb Posted February 2 Posted February 2 First time with the new setup at last nights gig. Also, first gig using the Ripper so much to get my head around! Blackstar Unity 700 and two ultra lightweight Markbass Energy 2x10's. Big sound and needed some EQing to the room but easily sorted. Great fun using the Ripper and the amps distortion/overdrive for the more rocky stuff using a pick, it sounded awesome where I was standing. The Thunderbird is a great bass and a joy to play which I've used many times. I did have to roll back the bass on the amp however as it was pretty boomy. The cabs give a pretty deep bass output, more than I expected but again with a little EQing the results were very satisfying. Still early days and I'd like a lot more time to experiment with the amps many settings and features but for it's first outing I was pretty happy. 8 Quote

How do they handle low B and fuzz? I'd really like 2x12 cabs, but space and weight are a huge factor currently. Cheers. Quote

I only play 4 string so I couldn't tell you about the low B but after a gig and a couple of rehearsals with them I have found them to be quite bassy and not lacking any depth. 1 Quote
VTypeV4 Posted Sunday at 09:44 Posted Sunday at 09:44 I decided to swap out my usual green and black Trace Elliot boxes for the SVT last night. Obviously in a tiny <80 cap venue, I needed a heavy-weight 300w all valve setup.. (!) 😅 I didn't go bananas with it but even so, the sound was lovely - somewhat different than my beloved V4 and V6 amplifiers but it worked beautifully. On the top of the amplifier, you can see the Ampeg Opto Comp and the Yamaha NE-1 with the Squier 40th Aniiversary positioned in front. ❤️ 6 Quote

How did you find the Unity in terms of overall volume? I really enjoyed its sound and the variety of tones available, but it felt very anaemic in terms of output. From what I understand, you can only get the full 700W at 2 ohms. Quote

I’m still experimenting with it to be honest. I do need to spend more time with it but loud practice at home is impossible due to the neighbours. I’m not sure what it puts out at 4 ohms off the top of my head but I found it loud enough for the gig. I did notice that I needed to dial in more gain though, especially with the Ripper bass. Maybe the volume comes out at the higher end of the dial. Quote

msb Posted Monday at 13:29 Posted Monday at 13:29 I mostly use it with practice amps , they nicely fatten things up at low volume. I have two of them! 1 Quote
