Fuck Dingers.

Fuck Dingers.

I've seen some ugly dingers, but THAT is fucking disgusting.

Dude, that's hot. I would love to play that thing out while covering Slayer and a bunch of heavy shit.

[warwick.hoy]

I like all basses always for every reason.

[D.o.S.]

I CUT YOU. WITH MY MISNAMED BARRY GUY.

what.... what makes them ugly?

*hurt puppy dog about to cry look*

I go for rounder guitars/basses/stringy thingys with vertical frets/pickups/etc.

Also, I'm picking up a lot of the "looks like a bad photoshop" thing from these pics.

But, uh, I've never played one (too many frets, too many knobs, too many bling-blings), so I can't comment beyond that.

3 knobs is too many?

On a bass, yes. Two is my limit, unless it's a Jazz bass and I can just keep the tone down all the time.

I mean, my amp has five knobs, four of which almost never move, and I still feel overwhelmed with options.

So my bass was sounding really anemic at practice last night, and I had to keep turning the volume up until my signal was distorted as fuck. I was worried that my amp finally did the Bugera/behringer thing and shit the bed. So I plugged my amp into my guitarists cab, and it sounded awesome. So I put my ear right up against each speaker in my cab and two of my speakers had nothing coming out of them.

I at least still have my Avatar 212 to get through our next gig, but I really like that 410, it was so ballsy sounding. I find the 212 too muddy. Sadness.

Bum deal. Dat a Carvin 410 I see to remember (probably incorrectly) you rolling with. You could probably just source replacement drivers though Carvin Directly, but who knows if specs have changed.

I'm sure I could, but they'd probably cost more than the cab is worth. Not sure I'm willing to sink money into a cab I bought used for like a hundred bucks

I think for the tone/sound/feel that you're going for, a Mesa cab would be ideal.

My 2 4x10's together have never let me down in over 8 years of heavy gigging and my 6x10 just unleashes holy hell at any volume I throw at it.

Fuck Dingers.

I dinked around on that bass a bit at Musikmesse this year, its actually cooler in person than it looks in that picture. Wouldn't spend for it though.

Ah; Time for an upgrade!

I'm still thinking pretty hard on rolling with 2x SB112 from Avatar and just have them leave the tweeters disconnected.

Black tolex with grill cloth. I know I should just get a 2x12 or another 4x10,...but there just seems something classy and cute about the 2x 112 array. I'd get them in 8 ohms,...for a total load of 4 ohms,...then down the line get another 2x 112s

Yeah, Mesas would be ideal. But there's no way in hell I could ever afford them. They are insanely expensive, and money is crazy tight for me right now. I'm gonna have to see what's out on craigslist. And I'll have to live with the Avatar for now, and I'll probably tweak my amp EQ to try to get the sound I want.
