Members jj97blazer Posted February 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2008 Ok I got you. The PA my buddy has isnt enough to push te band so he never uses it. Thats why i was wondering about runnin through the cab i got. Its a Marshall 1x15" 250W at 8ohms. Or could I just run my bass trough the little PA into that Marshall without the stompbox? Our steel player has all the good stuff. lots of GK stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our steel player has all the good stuff. lots of GK stuff. Now you're getting into the effects of speaker sizes. 15's produce powerful low end, but often dead or muddy highs. 12's have a lot of punch in the midrange and can handle highs pretty well, but sometimes lack on the low B string. 10's have a lot of definition in the highs, and pretty good mids, but lack the ability to produce powerful lows. Now there are other factors (like speaker magnet type and cab size) that can change these, but the above is a good rule of thumb. As far as EQ adjustments go: flatten your EQ on your bass and amp (meaning 5/10, not 1/10) during your next practice. Put your amp at a volume that seems reasonable for the situation. While you practice, if you can't hear yourself in the mix, add mids and low mids, not volume. once you can clearly hear yourself, add or remove highs or lows until you like the tone you get. A compressor can help even tone, but EQing a compressed tone can still produce unbalanced signal response. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jj97blazer Posted February 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2008 Yeah man that helps alot. In lamens terms put everything in the middle on the EQ and adjust accordingly, right? And again thanks aot to all of yall thats helped me out with all this stuff. sorry if I dumb. The only way I know how to figure this stuff out is to ask questions you know. And I promise theyll be more. Thanks Again, Jamey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Just make sure your Marshall is 8 ohms if you want to pair it with another cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jj97blazer Posted February 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2008 UT OH, i just got and idea. How about i make a frankenstine cab? I can take the 15" sidewinder out of the Marshall and the 10" out of my Fender and build my own. I have 2 older big ass Peavey PA speakers in storage I can canibalize and use one of the horns and what not. But i still need a head. Or i could use the head out of my Peavey or Fender combo, huh?

It probably won't sound very good. Cabs are designed around the speakers for optimum sound quality. Just throwing any speaker in any cab doesn't usually end well.
