Twiz Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I've been playing lately with 2 different groups. Rather than drag my 4X12 with me to each practice spot, I've been using an old Acoustic 215BD bass cab for one of the bands. -It was already at the practice space. At first I was nervous to use it, but once I figured out the Ohms, holy crap! Those 15's really make a thud. It kinda makes me want to get a bass cab. I'm running this: Lester > TU-2 > Carbon Copy > Phase 90 > Octave Multiplexer > Big Muff Pi > 5150. I know, the distortion should go first in the chain, I like it at the end better...

Silenced Fred Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 15's add a ton of chunk. I'm trying to decide if when I have enough for a Fender Twin Reverb if I should get the 2x12 or the 1x15... Decisions, decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabba2203 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yes, I used to use an 18x2x10 bass cab (Peavey Black Widow) under my 4x12 cab and my buddy did the same but used a 1x15 vega sugar scoop cab. It does add an interesting sound. I also used to use a 1x15 ported Music Man cab. This was back in like 1988, long before the "Warhead" amps came out.

cabba2203 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Another thing to try that sounds really good with a guitar amp is an 8x10 cab, like an SVT. Really tight low end punch, very chuggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G McBride Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Many years ago, I used to gig with a Ampeg Tube amp and a 2 x 15 Cab. Wish I still had that set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 That sounds like a recipe for disaster. I love it! Just remember to leave low end space for your bass player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An SVT cab for guitar sounds like a good idea... I do want a 4X10 Bass cab for guitar.....Don't need it, will get one though..... Many years ago, I used to gig with a Ampeg Tube amp and a 2 x 15 Cab. Wish I still had that set up. 20 years ago I also used an Ampeg 2X15 bass cab with EVs.... Vox has 1X15 cabs...never tried them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiz- Especially with that Green Muff, that's gonna take up a lot of sonic white space that the bass player might normally fill. I imagine that sounds *****en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
