The smaller GKs could work well if you want to mic up a bass map, or seeing as they're SS, you could turn down. And still have more than enough map to gig with. Yeah I have been looking into the smaller SS ones. I think I may go that route just because I already know I am a fan of GK toanes. Plus, I push my bass so hard with fuzz and stuff it really doesn't matter  3. He loves the damn thing. It's very punchy and clear. Also, my ex-cab, which I sold to my bassist as I wasn't gigging as a bass player.  Also, it weighs nothing, approximately. It's significantly lighter than a Marshall 4x12 guitar cab, and maybe lighter than my AC30.  Lotsa clarity from that cab. I heard they were really punchy There are a couple of used ones available around here I might try to snag.4. It's interesting. It's really acting more like a big dirty tube limiter. And if I think it sucks I have a clean DI to reamp. I'm leaving the mics up until tomorrow to see what I think of that. That makes sense. I like pushing and limiting dirty bass.5. Synths are mad gay, Brohann. So gay ... I must have them all |  |  |  |  |
That's a real tasteful setup though. I take it he is a fan of the gritty bass toanes?

 Re: Snaxosessions out the yang this weekend.
It always seems to have some dirt to it even when he's playing clean. I think everyone in the band likes their tones a bit rough around the edges. We'll distort anything.

 Re: Snaxosessions out the yang this weekend.
Speaking of which, I'm back at the studio remapping DIed bass through guitar pedals for the hell of it. My OCD is currently being tracked with by a phantom bassist at the moment.

 Re: Snaxosessions out the yang this weekend.
I sometimes run bass through the crunch channel of the XXX. High pass at 100hz and instant massiveness.

 Re: Snaxosessions out the yang this weekend.
I don't doubt that! Running bass through dirty guitar amps is good times. I may post some bass clips later; his tone is awesome. Hopefully we'll get the drums done on those two this weekend. I am currently attempting to acquire more mics and pres (four channel strips out of an old AMEK console. Not the Scorpion, either. I think an Angela?) for use, as well as another Firewire interface if we want more than 10 channels for some dumbass reason? Drums in question are a Pearl custom shop kit with a 24" kick and a really deep-ass snare, like 8-8 1/2 inches and a load of nice Zildjians, mostly As and A Customs IIRC.

 Re: Snaxosessions out the yang this weekend.
I may not buy a bass amp depending on how my Titan Modded Bassman can handle the low-end.
Chances are I will buy a bass amp anyway, but I am holding off in hopes it will be beefy enough.

 Re: Snaxosessions out the yang this weekend.
It's rarely the amp in question, it's the cab.
And I think your Bassman would work.

 Re: Snaxosessions out the yang this weekend.
I would probably mic the BL80 in there, since it tends to handle the lows a bit better. Maybe a mic a few feet back from the R60 (both are 12"s) to get some mids in there.

 Re: Snaxosessions out the yang this weekend.
That's the WGS CL80 clone, no? I'd think that could have some good  end.
