At the moment I have to, they're the only speakers I have at hand. I sacrificed my solid-state combo for this head ( which in the long run, will certainly be worth it ). Those are my dad's bass cabinets, and he just stores them in my room. True, the sound is'nt exactly pristine, but it is only a matter of time before I can get a 2x12/1x15 guitar cab from Avatar.

Thank you, I'm quite proud of it myself.

why not just get a 4x12?

__________________

Because it does'nt have a 15 inch

I plan to eventually have a 4x12 and a 2x12/1x15 rig.

Extended bottom end without muddiness, basically.

rivera lobottom sub cab... it's self powered too... it's made specifically for lows.

or..

this seems to be exactly what you want

though, with a 5150 II and a good 4x12 you shouldnt have any problems getting great low end.

I'm thinking about an Avatar loaded with two Eminence Swamp Thangs and one Eminence Kappa pro.

what ohms? i'll sell you a pair of 8 ohm swamp thangs in minty condish... i'm converting my cabs to 16 ohm stereo so i can't use em' anymore...

__________________

That sounds like a nice offer, and I might have to take you up on that : but however, I know nothing about ohms. I'll have to read about it.

Ask your physics teachers

and if you arent taking physics stop being such a pussy

I know who Mr. George Ohm is, the 18th century physicist ( I'm railing this off the top of my head ) who made important contributions to the study of electricity and the field of acoustics and mathematics in general, and that the ohm has become a standard measurement of electrical current in honor of his discovery. But as I've stated before, I'm very new to amplifier/speaker electronics, and how ohms might relate to said equipment. So I think my inquisitive nature is very well in order.

Please stop being an instigator.

haha yeah, thats what I did i first got a proper amp setup and didnt know where to connect it up.

im not being an instigator, im being an asshole

anyways i found a site way back that talked about OHMS

i dont remember much except it having to with resistance
the less ohms the less resistance and more volume you have

Whatever suits you, I suppose

Heres some pics of my full setup, Warwick thumb bolt-on, Ernie Ball Musicman Custom SUB 5, Laney RBG 400, Boss pedals..

There not very good quality because i took them with a webcam.

My rig at present.... the poweramp i got off ebay a while ago, and i haven't managed to get it to work yet, gotta get some components, and i just got the 1936, so i haven't had a chance to use it yet

what do you think of the guitar
only i forgot to ask last time

It sounds alot better and cleaner. Oh and we cant forget HEAVYIER! (than my other guitar) Im left handed as u can see. I own 2 guitars. I HAVE ONLY PLAYED TWO GUITARS. So i cant really tell u on a professional level. But from what i have experienced so far. Its a fucking nice guitar.

__________________

i'm bringing this old thread back cuz i didn't want to create a new one just for my rig.

heres an update of what i'm running.

the guitar that is now my main axe is a parker fly deluxe. in a sexy dark green color. this guitar is about 10-11 years old and lived most of it's life in a gigbag. it plays perfect, stay in tune really well, and sounds killer.

honest to god i've never played a guitar i've liked more all around. from jazz to grindcore, this is the axe.

at first it sounded really thin and had a high pitch noise... so i popped in a fresh 9v battery, and changed the strings from the .09's to some ernie ball "not even slinky's"(12-56). this thing is insane. the feel changed so much when i switched strings. even with those thick suckers tuned up to E they don't feel to tight and down to drop C - B- ish they arent flubby.

the pickups are custom dimarzios. based off of the tonezone for the bridge and then i believe(or at least sounds like) a PAF in the neck. but i think there is some kind of booster because that battery really brought these things to life. and helps give more of a tight/higher output to them, to balance for the thin body. but still maintains the warmth of passives in a good ol' wooden guitar.

i'd challenge a gibby any day in sustain... it'd be a close match.


THE AMP

voodoo hex modded/point to point rebuilt sovtek mig 100.

one channel, no fx loop, no bullshit. just straight up tone.

the cab is just my trusty vintage crate GC-412TS(guitar cabinet, 4 12 inch speakers, tall, slant) that i've had loaded with two vintage 30's and two g12t-75's.

------accessories------

i have a little off brand 2 space rack i'm using to hold my furman PL tuner(standard PL series power conditioner with a built on chromatic tuner) and then i have my boss ns-2 held in the back with velcro.
i also hold all my cords in the rack for transportation.

i'm also outfitting my rg570 with an emg-81/85 set. we'll see how long that lasts.

and selling my pgm30

are you using the g major to do channel switching on the 5150 via midi?

__________________

Sorry for not posting any pictures, but i was away from my rehearse room, and couldn't take the pictures, hopefully by tomorrow i will have some.

xdislexicx that is a great comment, because i haven't figure that one out, i don't know how to switch the channels via the g major midi, i have to switch the channel using the 5150 footswitch. Do you know how to change channels via midi??

You need a special cable ordered from JerryP http://www.fjamods.com/Cable.html

__________________

well, i know the g major does it, i just didn't know if you were taking advantage of that feature... you're going to need the right kind of cable running from the g major to the 5150's footswitch jack. as bls stated, someone like jerryp could probably hook you up as he's really familiar with 5150's and other stuff.

if i were you i'd shoot an e-mail over to t.c. electronic's and or peavey asking them how to make it work... also if you have the instruction manual for the g major.

it's worth it though... once you get everything switching midi, it's alot less tapdancing.

My friend has that very same Schecter with the stock Seymour Duncan pickups. Jeezus does it sound and play nice. Replacing them with EMG's doesn't sound like a good deal to me, but to each is own...

Awsome!

You can play Heavy crunch with lots of base and it accents each note with ease. I love it

__________________

Plus im sure you can make the clean much more usable.

__________________

by making it midi controllable?

or are you talking about the parametric eq on the g major in the fx loop of the 5150 to work around the shared eq?

__________________

Correct.

maybe youre coughing because you have a pack of camels sitting on your amp:P

WOW great comments xdislexicx and BLS!!!!!!

I'm really interested in the cable from jerry, so all i have to do is buy the cable and then configure the gmajor to do the channel switching via midi, right??

And sorry for not posting any pictures, but i have been really busy at work, and this is the only time i'm here at home, i arrive from work at this hour, so i have no chance to go to the rehearse room. Hopefully tomorrow.

no hurry man.....

Yeah i'm a fucking terrible photographer and the ENGL doesnt look to impressive, but it sounds it

the paul gilbert sig

__________________

1. No, the guitar is not scalloped, is the light that seems that way.

2. The maximizer is a great improvement to your sound, you should definetly get one if you have the chance, the model it really doesn't matter, all maximizers sound the same, the only difference is having a mono or stereo maximizer (1 channel or 2 channels).

3. The G-Major is a effects processor, it doesn't have any pre-amp or distortions, so for people like me who uses a head for his primary distortion, this unit is the best, because it doesn't mess with your distortion, just enhances it with clear sounding effects.



what is your question?

hey hey... i have that paul gilbert sig guitar too!

pretty sexy looking guitar.


i wouldnt say the g major is anywhere near "the best".

they're great units... but if you've ever played a tc g force, or eventide unit... you would laugh at the g major.

__________________

But this is the BEST processor unit without preamp or distortions, the g-force has distortions and it costs 1000 dlls more, so obviously is better in performance.

the g force does offer gain stages as fx, but even still... i would not consider the g-major to be "the best" processor unit without preamping or distortions. i could name many units in it's price range that can rival it... like about half a dozen rocktron units, a couple boss and lexicon units. ect...

but tc aswell as alot of other manufacturers also make a number of high end studio/instrument processors.

if you want what imho is THE BEST processor unit for a guitar rig... the eventide ecplipse is the one. but have fun saving up for that shit.. and from there you need to have a masters in bio-chemical engineering to figure that fucker out.

haha its true though

xdx you still have your triamp?

I believe he sold it and he got a Splawn. He's got some other head too, can't remember which though.

splawn? wtf is that

__________________

Check out rocksolidamps xdx speaks highly of that amp, i think hes got the Mod 100.

__________________

Sold it for a Sovtek Mig which he had heavily modded by Voodoo Amps..

then he sold the Mig and bought a Splawn, he also has an Engl now I belive.

i read somwhere that the furman power conidtioners reduce noise? how?

haha...

ok so some dude offered me a bunch of shit for my triamp... a pair of emgs(81/85), a rivera trb-1m, a big 12 space rack case, AND several hundred bucks. SUCKER!

so the money went towards my parker fly deluxe,the 12 space rack has my PA shit in it... the emgs are in my ibanez rg570... and i traded some bro the rivera straight up for a voodoo modded/rebuilt sovtek mig 100.

in the mean time i also purchased a mint condition splawn pro-mod 100, the newer dual eq model, with the jj kt-88 upgrade.

and now i traded some dude the voodoo modded mig 100 for his engl straight 100.

so i have a splawn promod 100 and an engl straight 100.

so far the splawn is sticking around for sure... the engl is undecided.

Fucking hell, that's overpriced for a bunch of cheap Russian parts. I'm sure MIG 100's go for around £200 in England, so I assumed they go for $200 over in the US. MIG's go for even lower than $200 in Russia. Oh well, my bad.

if theyre made in russia then of coarse they will be cheaper there. in holland the mesa rectos are like 2000. in the us theyre not
