Merton Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 My rig from last night. ACG Finn with LaBella flats (what a revelation they are!) Ashdown Little Bastard 30W valve head Barefaced One10 and Super Compact. Astonishingly loud and full, a big fat creamy bass tone all night long. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great at home as you can get a lovely tone without being too loud but it’s also great (with efficient cabs and PA support) on a gig because you get a glorious broken up valve phatness on stage which just envelops everything (in a good way!) The EQ isn’t particularly versatile but I didn’t buy it for that, I have an ABM and Rootmaster of I need versatility 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) My stack 🙂 The amp is a Laney pro Bass (apparently as used by Krist Novoselick on Bleach). The cabs are unusual. I used to have a huge 1x18" that was like moving a washing machine around. My youngest brother gave me the Phoenix which is a PH-2 from British Strings Limited, it's loaded with a pair of 12" Celestions. The top cab I made myself using a pair of McKenzie 12" speakers from a mate. The tweeter cab is surprisingly effective and uses two high power horn tweeters from Maplin. Set up like this the feet of the top cab 'lock' in the handle of the bottom one. I don't know for sure if the head is 100W or 150W but it doesn't take any prisoners... Edit! This is my original rig - at my first gig, up on a chair. It's a Sound City, supposedly 30 or 50 watts. I turned it into a separate head and monitor wedge, but it got knicked. There's a guitar version that belongs top one of my brothers in my dad's loft. Edited February 24, 2019 by Stub Mandrel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Genz Benz shuttle Max 12.2 into Bergantino hd112 X 2, bit of a 3 dimensional sound to enjoy with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vovox won't even call them cables: "Klangleiter" is the term used. They really do difference; they let EVERYTHING through. We had a cable shootout a few years ago, with a lot of different cables: everything from crap to expensive. "Is there any REALLY expensive cable here?" was a question asked. I offered my 20 ft Sonorus for a test. The test leader connected it and started to laugh in a very bullying way. "IT BUZZES!!!" All the crowd laughed, until I said: "It is your shitty P-bass that buzzes, but noone can hear it with all those lousy cables you use." Well, the guys with lousy cables chose to believe their cheap cables were better. None of my basses buzz through my cables. Never and ever. And - your fingers won't smell like old rubber... things when you have rolled them after a gig... Vovox are really the best cables, I also use them as patch and they make a difference in sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea Turgh Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Still got the Ampeg Pf350, but now I have a shiny new BF Two10 to play it through! Weirdly, although I know the Ampeg is the weak link in this chain (my playing aside), I kinda like it, so am in no rush to upgrade. Both my basses have had a proper set up and feel great. Currently quite content. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Or, even nicer, get yourself a 1210 or 212 But that's also my personal preference for 12" drivers: Other than that: I LOVE the look of that JV. Very classic, reminds me of my old JV. Darn, I miss that bass. Edited March 17, 2019 by BassAgent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB751 and TH500 tends to be to harsh in the upper mids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
