cclowend Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Due to my hartke 4.5xl going in for repair (now returned)I bought a stand in 4x10 hartke transporter and I also have a hartke 115xl. I now have the choice of my normal 4.5 and 115 setup OR 4.5 and 4x10 transporter (8x10 setup). This excites me and my GK1001rb head greatly but I don't know which setup to use at rehearsal tomorrow to drown out my guitarist with. Discuss. Quote
cclowend Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Our guitarist is a bit emotional. I couldn't do that to him. Quote

Diablo Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 [quote]More reason to take it all! [/quote] I've never made a guitarist cry with bass volume, but if I had an opportunity I would grasp it with both hands! Do it do it do it, send pics. Quote
TheGreek Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Ask yourself...if he had all this gear wouldn't he bring it all??? Take it all!!! Quote
icastle Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I dunno, you lot lack imagination sometimes. Take it all and that'll break the guitarist and the fun will end. All you need to do is let him [b]know[/b] what might be appearing... and gently remind him every so often. Quote
Diablo Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 But once you've finished with this guitarist you then have a world of opportunity to seek out a new [s]victim[/s] guitarist and unleash your sound of satan upon them. Nothing like a reputation to put the fear of God into those often too noisy strat players. Quote

cclowend Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 I blame my drummer. No matter how much bass I have on, he always insists on adding more. Sometimes its like the room in bending due to the amount of low frequency........I love it. Quote
chrismuzz Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 If it was me it would be 8x10 all the way, my guitarist gets distressed enough standing his 1x12 combo next to my 6x10 rig. I might start to feel bad if I went much bigger than that... Quote

[/quote] You are right to blame your drummer. Statistics show it is invariably their fault. Change of rehearsal room to one with real walls? Quote

KevB Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 If it was me I'd be taking the minimum required and tell the rest of them to turn the f*ck down so we could get some work done, but then my lot hardly ever rehearse Quote
Diablo Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 It is not necessarily how loud you play, it is how loud you COULD play if you turned it all up - fear and surprise are the ways forward, don't let those guitarists shove you to the back of the stage and certainly don't have them drowning you out. Quote
skej21 Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Take the whole lot but only connect the one cab as usual... Until the guitarist touches his amp and then boom! Plug the rest in and destroy him!! Quote
Diablo Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Had a first meeting of a new band tonight, in a pub as neutral territory. Everyone got on, even with the drummist, and we agreed a short set list and rehearsal for around a weeks time. My dilemma - at the first rehearsal do I turn up with the six-pak and sit in the background, or do I turn up with the 9B cab as well, turn it all up as far as it will go and blur their vision just to pee on my tree? As Steve said, more is more, and I'm finding it difficult to see beyond that! Quote
police squad Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 What is this............rehearsal that you speak off? Quote
Diablo Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 [quote]What is this............rehearsal that you speak off? [/quote] It is where a group of musicians get together to identify which ones have not done enough practice the week before. Quote
BassTractor Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) I'm aware it's encyclopaedic custom that all concepts in the article are assumed known, but still: What is this ...... "practice" of which you speak? ([b]Somebody[/b] had to volunteer! And all the others took a step back!!! ) Edited May 26, 2014 by BassTractor Quote
cclowend Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 That unrehearsed person is usually me........ Quote
