Tweeter advice please, Markbass 2 x 10's.

[karlfer]

I've never knowingly used tweeters although I seem to remember a couple of cabs I have had, have had them.
So, simple question from a thicko.

My recently acquired Markbass 2 x 10's both have tweeters.
Staring from the sort of 7 0'clock position on the tweeter dial, they are marked with a double zero, the left hand side signs going from 18 to 5.
At the noon position they are marked -dB
On the right hand side they are marked 3 at the sort of 1 0'clock position, down to 0 at the 5 o'clock position.

Can somebody please advise me which position is off?

Cheers in advance,
Karl.

Hi Karl, furthest anti-clockwise (7 o`clock) is off.

That would be the 00 bit then. I did last night's gig with them at noon position . Annoyingly rather liked the sound even though it was a crap gig.
Will put them at 00 for tonight's gig, which thankfully I know will be a lot busier.
Many thanks Lozz, hope you are ok Mr.

I don't really follow your description, but I'd guess it's attenuation in dB's, from zero (full on) to infinity (the 'double zero' - fully off)

Cheers barkin, infinity, 00, never twigged that

I'm old, why couldn't they just write "off"

All fine here Karl, hope same with you. The Markbass tweeters are funny really, I don`t really notice them doing much (tho mine are the piezos) when playing soloed, but in the mix they just seem to define the edge of the sound, rather than adding any highs. Rather like lining in on a technical drawing really.

Appreciated, Basschat massive!
