I'm definitely taking in some requests and will add them to the next poll and if enough people want them I'm making them.
Looks like I can borrow my friends Ampeg rig in a week or so.... SVT and 4x10 IIRC.
I will most likely do the Ampeg first because of the opportunity that I have.
This one? Ampeg: Classic Series - SVT-410HLF
I`m curious about the results and how you will capture this! Our Bass-Player has this one. Those cabs have 1" HFDrivers (adjustable, w/ level-adjustment at the rear). So, not that easy to capture i believe. In fact it`s a adjustable 2-way system ...
Ampeg says:
Frequency Response (-3dB): 48Hz-18kHz
Usable Low Frequency (-10dB): 28Hz
So, i really ask myself, if thos bass-cabs have a more "FRFR claim" and if so, how much sense would be left to capture such cabinets? This i asked myself in general: We know guitar cabinets / speaker act like a EQ-Filter, but does Bass cabinets do this in the same way?
Also: If usable low frequency starts at -10db / 28Hz ...this means your FRFR Sytem you will use with captures from such a cabinet must reproduce this bandwidth similiar, or you have to question the whole Cab-IR / FRFR paradigm for the bass-cab-ir department?
I will follow this with excitement
Miking a 4x12 is not different than miking a smaller cab in my technique. There are many reasons why I've concentrated on 4x12 cabs for now. Fitting a huge sound in a small box (Axe-Fx) is probably what the majority of people are going for in here and obviously that makes it a priority. I've owned two Mesa 2x12 cabs and an Orange 2x12 and got to compare them to their 4x12 counterparts. In all my comparisons the bigger cabinets sound more balanced and have a sweeter presence area. Obviously the 4x12s have more depth to them. Also 4 speakers mean that there are 4 times more tonal variety than in a 1x12 cab and twice as much tonal variety than in a 2x12 cab.
This doesn't mean that I have anything against smaller cabs. If many people want a specific smaller cab I'll create a Cab Pack of it.
I would love to make getting a better bass tone fast and easy for people. The philosophy that I have for miking a guitar cab works in the exact same way for bass cabs too.
It's going to be interesting for sure. I like a challenge. People don't usually spend that much time miking bass cabs. Maybe I can do the work for other people since people seem to always be in a hurry when recording bass. :lol
Just bought Cab Pack 7
Will buy Cab Pack 8
Probably will hold out for Bass Cab Pack 'X' whenever that happens
...and maybe a Fender 1x12
Anything else is fluff, IMO!
Haha good point. I don't usually gravitate towards Bogner cabs, but I could see myself using it in stereo with a Mesa on Alter Bridge riffs or something. Bogner cab is cool for sure, just not high on my personal list
BTW - Cab Pack 7 is perfect for what I need. Too bad it won't have the fancy non-MPT thing, lol! good job though!
I would vote, but my "choice" isn't listed ;-)
I would love a sampler cab pack which would contain a (smaller) selection of mixes from cab packs 7, 8 and 9 (and 10?)
Please add to the poll to get a feel for how popular that could be... maybe I'm in the minority...
