>Try it in a different room.
That is exactly what I would suggest too. My rehearsal space is an unfinished basement with lots o’ concrete. My Ashdown rig sounds boomy as hell down there. Nothing I do helps the sound. But at the gig, or in a better room… Wow… It’s like a completely different amp. Don’t blame the amp until you have played it in a few different places. Cheers, Chris

That is normal. You should really only use one cable though. If you’re lucky, the inputs on the speaker and the outputs on the amp are paralleled, so the double cabling just reduces your speaker cable resistance by half. The lower lead resistance does nothing to the power output of the amp, so that’s why you don’t hear any change in volume. If however, that amp is a stereo amp, you’re shorting the two channels together with is a Bad Thing! — /" ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Todd H / | http://www.toddh.net/ X Promoting good netiquette | http://triplethreatband.com/ / http://www.toddh.net/netiquette/ | "4 lines suffice."

How do you set the EQ on your bass? try setting it all flat and see if that changes things…you may be applying too much bass boost. — Brian Rost Stargen, Inc.
Response:
You only need one connection to the speaker. Two speaker outs on the amp mean that you can run two cabs directly off the amp.Two imputs on the cab means you can run one line from the amp to cab and then attach another cab to the first cab. Usually the inputs will be wired in parallel. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Also: is it normal that when I unplug one of the cables from the amp to the > cab the volume doesn’t decrease?

Try setting everything flat (everything in the middle), meaning the tone controls on the bass and the eq on the head. Start from there and adjust to try and get a decent tone. You should get a very nice tone out of that head. I have a TE AH300SMC that sounds great though it’s not very loud. Only use one speaker wire. The two outputs on the head are for two separate cabinets and the two inputs on the cabinet, well, only one is an input…pick one. It shouldn’t matter which one. The other one then becomes an output to run to another separate cabinet. This give you two different ways to hook up two cabinets if you had two. Series or parallel. Some cabinets, like my Hartke, only have one input so if I wanted to run two identical cabinets I’d have to hook it up in parallel. I had an Ibanez once. I sold it. — Oc () ) //^^ // / Bud LeCompte http://budlecompte.com

General rule of thumb is either: A> You will spend all the money you can, all the time, until you stop playing music (GAS) or B> Dont worry about quipment and just work on technique I fit into both categories 8-). Though my experience with Ibanez basses is that they SUCK! I am sure that there are some good ones out there, but I haven’t found any made in the last 10 years. My chief complaint against Ibanez basses are that they tend to have a very unfocused bottom end which could account for the sounds that you are hearing. If possible, take your amp rig to a local music store and try out several different basses through it. I think you will find that most of them have a better bottom end sound than yours. Good luck!

Hello! I just don’t get it. How much $ do I have to spend to get the sound I need??? And I’m not all that picky.. I currently own a Trace Elliot set: 200AH amp and 1048H cab, you probably know it – 200W head + 320W 4×10 cabinet with tweeter.

I would have thought you can’t plug both into the same cab!!! my GK head says on the back ‘DO NOT CONNECT THESE OUTPUTS TO THE SAME SPEAKER’…. try only putting one in and using that tone? Sam

Last night I had a particularly strange and disturbing experience. I felt that my wife hated me and was going to stab me while I was sleeping. Now my wife has been the most understand and patient person that I know. We have been happily married for almost 15 years and this is our third episode of major depression. Is this normal, I have never felt like someone was going to hurt me before? I have been on Effexor for almost 3 weeks now.

Akela, Paranioa is not uncommon in m-d. I was on effexor, but decided to try something different, because it increased my mania. We all have feelings that we are afraid to feel. Remember, they are just feelings, not what you think. Talk to your pdoc, amybe he/she can help. Smooth sailing, Cathy

No this is paranoia. You should consult your doctor, sometimes meds can make you feel this way. — ~Robbi~ "oo" "With friends like this who need hallucinations?" http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7160 Serving bipolars since 1997!
