Members Inertiatic_SKS Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 I need a cheap 4x10 stack fast. My friend's band just kicked their bassist and they want me to be the permanent bassist. I'm going to be using my friend's Fender Deluxe Active J-Bass until I buy my own Fedner Deluxe Active J-Bass. As for a stack, I was thinking the Carvin SBR410 stack. I have a Carvin guitar cab and love it and I might take a chance on their bass products. I need something under $800 and I have no preference as to it being tube or SS. I'm going to be playing mostly hardcore/post-rock-ish kinda stuff and need a tone that'll cut through the mix and that has very prominent highs.

Members molsen Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 the mark VIII is lowwwwwwwwd. i like the XP (newer) version, but i'm sure that one on Ebay is just as awesome. although, it's a bit sketchy looking. but hey, it's a peavey, it doesn't matter what you do to it...it'll probably still work fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members der oxenrig Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 How does the Ashdown handle overdriven bass tones? Unless you have an overdrive pedal, it'll be just clean. Personally, I recommending using your guitar rig for mids and highs, and getting a good bass amp for the low end. But that might not be your sound.

Members Inertiatic_SKS Posted March 28, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 Wouldn't the bass amp damage my cab's speakers, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members justinbass Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 I also support the Avatar 410 cab. Nothing is better near that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members der oxenrig Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 Wouldn't the bass amp damage my cab's speakers, though? Not if you roll off the low end on your amp all the way. I've been doing it for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crescent Seven Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 How does the Ashdown handle overdriven bass tones? It handles them just fine. In fact, it has an input gain that you can set to just below clipping, giving it a fairly aggressive tone on it's own.Don't bother using two amps and guitar cabs and all that {censored}, it's alot more complicated than it needs to be. For your budget, the Ashdown/Avatar will do fine, so will any nice Peavey head. Take a look on Craigslist and see if you can find some deals.C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members justinbass Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 The Ox is trying to get you to use two amps and two cabs. Fun at practice, pain in the ass to bring to gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mike fitzwell Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 I'd look for a used GK 700RB and pair it up with an Avatar 410 if I were in your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
