dannyt144 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Here's one of my bass rigs :-) Its a Hartke LH500 Head with two Hartke Hydrive 112 cabs. Its a great rig its very powerful, and sounds awsome. Its also pretty light considering the punch it has. Very versatile two. Hope you Like :-) [attachment=113238:534524_462726903752611_2126068459_n.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWIC Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 In the rack is a Peavey Tour 700 and a Behringer PL2000, very surprised at the quality of it for how much it cost, although shamefully I'm not yet using it's power distribution features...it's just a pretty light at the moment. 1U spare, not sure what I want in there, but most likely either a rack wireless system if I can find a good one for the right price, or just a standard wireless system mounted on a shelf. Until I can decide on what cab to upgrade to, my Ashdown MAG410 Deep is doing an alright job. The new head has helped a lot, so I'm not in a huge rush to upgrade it. Want to save the pennies for the right one. [attachment=113327:IMG_3006.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I was worried about that too, I couldn't find a definitive measurement to how far it stuck out before I ordered it but I took a chance and the rack bag cover fits over it without much hassle, so I got lucky. I suspect it'd be a no-go if I had a hard case though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybrush threepwood Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 [quote name='eddiehoffmann' timestamp='1341239290' post='1715557'] And you valve amp fans out there should give the 550 Spyder a try. In my experience with hybrid amps, which consists of Ampeg SVTIII, Ashdown ABM 500 and Orange TB500, this is the closest you can get in terms of sound and feel to an all valve head. I also used a VT Bass with a properly good power amp for a long time and I prefer the Spyder to it. Great piece of kit. [/quote] I've been thinking this too - absolutely love my spyder combo. Been through no end of amps in the last few years, but this is really something special. The EQ makes it a one-trick pony, but it sounds and feels fantastic.

waynepunkdude Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Isn't a 550 Spyder also known as the Little Bastard? Someone has a James Dean fixation at Ashdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Have you tried tweaking with the the mid, bass and bright switches? They definitely add a lot in terms of different sounds. How do use these switches in your combo? I always keep mine up as I love the vintage sound that the Spyder produces like that, but I found that if you flick the switches down the amp sounds more modern. Curious to hear from other user how they use that feature... [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1342517623' post='1736312'] Isn't a 550 Spyder also known as the Little Bastard?

intime-nick Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Not measured it but approx 5ft - makes a big difference with the second cab especially stood close by on small stages......and with ACS Pro-17 moulded ear plugs !!

[/quote] Nice! It's a great rig - and it would definitely shift some air with a Midget on top! I was thinking of saving up for one but for me the Compact is plenty darn loud enough as it is - had a gig on Sunday with acoustic drums to my left and a massive cranked valve guitar amp facing my way to my right. Bass in my monitor? Nope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
