[QUOTE]I'm not sure that thats the best bet, I would go with Avatar if I was you. How much is that?[/QUOTE]

Im not sure, but I heard Bag End makes excellent amps, like really good.

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:19 PM

Ohhh I could try a poweramp/preamp combo.

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:19 PM

Hey all.

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:20 PM

Yeah Bag End does but I dont think that particular one is that good, by looking at its specs. They can also be pricey sometimes.

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]Hey all.[/QUOTE]

Looks good:

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:23 PM

Would my G-K over power these? It has 540 watts.

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:25 PM

The first one would be OK if it was 8ohms but its only 4, I always recommend 8ohms, that way you can add a cab in the future without having to replace your existing cab. The power handling could be a bit better as well.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:26 PM

I was planning on only buying one cab. I dont really need two. Do I?

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:30 PM

I still recommend an Avatar but if you want a Bag End go for one of these:

Q10B-D
Q10BX-D

[QUOTE=Mr. Jiggy Fly]I was planning on only buying one cab. I dont really need two. Do I?[/QUOTE]

You dont need 2 now but think about the long term. Its only a resomedation, though there are more advantages to having 2 cabs.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:33 PM

What would I need two for?

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:34 PM

Is this a good deal.

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:35 PM

If you want to be louder in a band or gig setting. And Having a 115 and a 210 or 410, sounds great, theres a nice balance of bass and treble. Its all about what you need and your preferance. If you only need 1 get 1.

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:37 PM

What's the difference between the Neomydium and the standard magnets?

No, its not powerful enough, you need at least 700 watts RMS. Dont just look at the peak wattage.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:37 PM

For now I'm not in a band. I play stuff that ranges from progressive to classical to shred, but I also play lots of funk. What setup would you suggest for that? I hear avatars 2x12 is a good stand alone cab, but would a 2x10 and 1x15 be better for my music?

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:38 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]What's the difference between the Neomydium and the standard magnets?[/QUOTE]

Neodynium is a very powerful magnet, thus you can use a smaller magnet made of neodynium in a speaker making it lighter and in some casses more powerful.

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:39 PM

so... Avatar Neo or Avatar Delta? Which would give me a clearer sound?

A 212 will be fine, though a 210/115 setup woud give you better sound definition in the very high and low ranges.

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:39 PM

Okay, I've decided to just hit the BX3000T. As I plan to go two cabs anyhow, 300 watts should be more than enough for the setting I'll be using them in. Besides, my guitarist has a THIRTY FRIGGIN' WATT AMP. Any future gigs won't need more than the 300 watts that the BX3000T + two cabs can give me. I'm going 2x12 + 4x10 so it'll be loud either way.

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:40 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]so... Avatar Neo or Avatar Delta? Which would give me a clearer sound?[/QUOTE]

Neo.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:40 PM

So should I get an 8 ohm 2x10 for now?

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:40 PM

Hey, did Avatar stop selling Ashdown heads?

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:41 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]Hey, did Avatar stop selling Ashdown heads?[/QUOTE]
No. From what I recall, an Avatar 2x12 + Ashdown MAG300H is 500-some USD.

4x10+2x12 Avatar for me. I'll have a kickass rig by Christmas time. :D

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:42 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]so... Avatar Neo or Avatar Delta? Which would give me a clearer sound?[/QUOTE]

Thier about the same sound wise the only major difference is that the NEO is lighter. The sound difference is minimul.

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:42 PM

I was leaning towards a 4x10...

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:42 PM

I dont recommend avatar 4x10. From what Ive heard, its just loud. Not very good dound quality.

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:42 PM

[QUOTE=Mr. Jiggy Fly]So should I get an 8 ohm 2x10 for now?[/QUOTE]

If thats what you want.
