Ok so I am going through this mid life crisis where I am changing over to
bass guitar. I have this delusion that I will be playing in a band soon. I
have a cheap shit bass and I'm playing it through a guitar amp which is not
great as far as tone and volume are concerned. I have been plotting and
scheming to get a good working man's bass rig together so I can get that gig.
I have stashed my pennies away and I'm ready to make my first component
purchase. I will be ordering a speaker cabinet capable of playing in clubs
and medium venues. The current trend is to have small, portable equipment so
you can move around with ease. This is a problem with bass guitar since the
"rule of thumb" is to have at least 3 times the wattage of the guitar player.
The days of lugging around an Ampeg SVT, the size of your refridgerator are
gone. I found a little cabinet with 2 10" Eminence speakers and a high
frequency horn made by Avatar. Check out http://www.avatarspeakers.com. This
little box takes 700 watts RMS and 1400watts peak. I'm sure that people will
laugh at me when I show up to audition or go to a gig but once I proceed to
blow the place apart, they won't be laughing any longer
