Reply With QuoteIt's surprising how much difference in tone the cab or cabs can make. Wonder what your amph would sound like through 16 twelves????

Instant tone!
Yesterday I was playing my jazz in the bedroom and thought the tone was kinda weak and thin. Very ho-hum without any guts to it.
So just for S&G's I plugged in the other 1x12 cab and, wow!
Instant monster tone!
Who would have thought that just adding in another cab would have such a drastic improvement in the sound?

Of course the speaker/number is always a key factor. Much more so than body woods for instance.
Even more so in the Hifi world. The cheapest amps and CD players can provide nigh perfect sound but even $100.000 speakers are far from perfection...always the weak link even with best speakers ever built.

Played my peavey through a single 15 for years. Decent bottom end but always sounded kinda muddy to me. Really thought it was my bass needing better pickups till I picked up my first Fender Jazz bass. Guess what? Same thing. I guess I can be a little slow sometimes but I finally got a new rig with a 15 and 4 10's and wow. Both of my basses came to life. I know what your thinking but I unplugged the 10's and the sound was muddy again. The 10's really made my basslines sparkle. Now I have a fuller more modern sound. No bass pedals!! Yeah!!

The single 15" speaker cab was a plot by guitarists to keep the bassists down. Now you know the secret.
