RE: [SurfGuitar101] Surf Bass (Amp)

DP (noetical1) - 30 Jun 2005 16:12:09

Rick:
Richard's suggestion is right on: Ampeg cabs are sweet!
A few more suggestions to consider:
Old fender cabs are cool: I have a 4x12" Fender Bassman cab
loaded with Eminence 300 watters...sounds like 1963 to my
ears. I had a Fender Showman 2x12 cab before, and bass
sounded good through that too.
For my treble end (biamp bass setup, remember?), I have a
"homemade" 2x12" Celestion 150 watt cab. I bought the
empty cabinet off of ebay and loaded my own Celestions into
it...a nice "John Enwistle-y" 1965 trebble sound comes out
of there.
I had some Sunn cabs before: a 1x15" and a 1x18'+ 1x12"
setup that I stacked under the Fender Bassman...sounded
tight and real cool.
A lot of bassist are going for the 4x10" cabs...but, I
don't think "surf bass" sounds too good through 10"
speakers..too small...the 10" speakers do great for slap
and pop Flea style bass, or MetalThrashGrunge, or
Punk....but...not for big-ass surf bass tone...
good luck,
-dp
