but for bass players, being able to be properly heard is a constant battle.


so, you'd be surprised at how treble is your friend.Īs guitar players, we take this for granted, due to the trebly, midrangey aspect of that wailing guitar. when the sound is projected out into the audience, it shouldnt be muddy and rumbly, but rather stout, punchy, and again, articulate, where each note is heard and made out distinctly. One thing to keep in mind, that a bass should also be "articulate". killer tones that are clear and with an EQ that's waaaaaaaaay more versatile. all of which are my biggest pet peeves.Ī better alternative are the GK combos or better yet the ashdown combos. the tweeters are crazy hissy, and the overall tones are muddy and thick. Now with all this said, i HATE the ampeg combos. you get some quickness that 15" dont have, and yet, a nice authorative punch that's almost as good as a 10" speaker. or to some ears, a sad compromise of the two. with that said, i do like having 15" speaker cab to fill out a 4x10 cab for a nice big lower end to help fill in the gaps of a power trio.ġ2" speakers are a nice balance of the two. bigger speaker surface means slower speaker movement. the best way to combat the higher volume fart, is to simply add more 10" speakers.ġ5" speakers have a great natural pillowy low end that just feels good to dig into, but at the loss of natural punch and that ability to cut thru the mix. but you do lose natural bottom end, and at higher volumes, goosing the bass on the preamp section might cause farting. smaller speakers move faster easier, which makes them sound much more eat for cutting thru a mix. Any combo w/ 10" speakers will sound punchier and more inyourface.
