I posted this thread a few days ago. In retrospect, I probably should have posted it here. I play guitar and bass, and I'm looking for the elusive combined rig that does both well. Part of the issue I'm having is that, while I know a good bass sound when I hear it, I'm a little fuzzy on the details of what makes it sound that way. Is it primarily a frequency response thing? Since I have an Axe-FX, I feel like I should be able to get something serviceable in terms of amp sound and feel. Assuming my rig covers the fundamentals (pun intended), will this get me where I want to be?
To put this into context... I think a pair of XiTone wedges will work well for my guitar rig. Obviously the low-end frequency response is going to be a little shy of the 31Hz fundamental of the B string. What if I used the pair of XiTones for guitar, and a XiTone + sub for bass? This would be an easy-to-transport rig for both purposes, and I can re-use most of the stack for both. Will having the sub to cover the fundamentals do the trick? Will the guitar-cab-like feel of the XiTone somehow take away from bass sound/feel? I've never actually had a "real" bass rig - I've always used PA gear. It wasn't always perfect, but it was certainly serviceable. I could just get a PA and use it for both purposes, but I really like the advantages of the XiTone for guitar...
I know this is a bit abstract, and there is a lot of personal preference involved. I've also read similar discussions that popped up in other threads. Rather than hijack someone else's thread, I'd love to get some opinions here if anyone is willing to share.
