you thought 5150 + impulses was good for guitar? try bass!

[s34nsm411]

anyone impulsing with a 5150, youve gotta try this

put it on the clean channel, gain at like 5, bass mid treb at like 7-3-3 res and pres at 7 and 3ish, then record that preamp out signal and put the ampeg 8x10_e602_ah impulse on it from here

and bam, (after some compression and eq. also Rbass helps a lot) awesome super deep bass tone with low end that seems to go on forever

mix it with another DI processed for the 'grit' track of the bass and youve got the perfect compliment to a heavy ass guitar tone

 

[Let it burn...]

i hope you're not running that 5150 through a guitar cabinet when using it with bass.

Clips?

I just think that that whole thing is a myth actually.
The bassist of my former band played through a Laney guitarcab for atleast five years and nothing happened.

why not?
are the magical bass notes to big to fit through the speakers?

 

[Metal Overload]

I saw lemmy from Motörhead, playing his bass with guitar amps and cabs

you can use bass guitar thru a guitar amp.

using a bass guitar thru a guitar speaker can damage the speaker.

 

[Wolfeman]

Most guitar speakers can handle the bass freqs no problem, and using a guitar amp will not amplify the low freqs to the point of being able to damage them. Now using a bass amp, let's say an SVT-4, with a guitar cab, would blow the shit out of the speakers in no time.

In other words, there is nothing wrong with it.

 

[s34nsm411]

yeah im pretty sure the whole bass thing is a myth too. i have a hotplate between my amp and cabinet anyway

ill try to make a clip later today, however i did use the technique on some recordings i recently did you can hear on here http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=720702

theyre the two in alcatraz files

I actually am working with a blackened death metal band that I'm using the Wagner plug on the bass tracks in the same fashion. Actually turning out pretty cool. Gives lots of mid/high range definition, but that impulse gives a nice meaty bottom end.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

There isn't any crossover network in my cab so theoretically unless I am overpowering them by alot or something I fail to see how a bass guitar is somehow going to wreck my speakers.

 

[Noumenon]

have anyone managed to get these working with Space Designer?
I get nothing, sip, nada. each time I load any of the samples the sound stops, won't work after inserting another impulse, I have to reset it and start playback from the beginning to make it work again.

 

[VH100R]

well... my neighbor damaged his cabinet's speaker when running his bass thru the amp. So i guess avoid high volumes...

 

[schust]

i really like the ampeg pulses off noisevault too.. very good low end.. great site!

s34nsm411 - those in alcatraz recordings are bad ass!!
