Members basschaplain Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 I have two main speakers given to me.Each has a peavey 35W HF and almost new EV 300W woofer.I have an old Peavey CS-800 Amp and a small mixer.So I'm thinking about trying to turn them into a bass system.Will this work and if so, what mods, etc. do I need?Neccessity is the mother of invention.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kelemvor Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 Also you might want a rack case to put your CS-800 in, then you can start getting GAS for lots of different rack gear I can't comment on the mains, but I would suppose they would work fine as a stand alone bass rig without any modifications.

Members PaulyWally Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 Originally posted by Kelemvor A preamp, for one thing. The small mixer should work fine for a preamp. Bass to mixer... mixer to amp... amp to speakers. You won't have a lot of control over your tone, but it'll get some sound pumping for you right away.

Members megadan Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'd say toss a sansamp, POD, or similear device in there to give yourself some bass tone... then as they said... bass --> toner --> mixer --> amp --> speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members basschaplain Posted August 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 I've heard that using a guitar cab is not a good idea but wasn't sure if there were things to look out for when using full size, non-sub cabs.Thanks,rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members basschaplain Posted August 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 Oh, I play a 5-string active/passive pu bass, if that matters:cool: rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members james on bass Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 If they are P.A. speakers, which it sounds like they are, they should work fine with a bass rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
