You will end up cranking the volume up so much that the tone will be "farty" and unuseable. I believe that you would be better off with a "real" bass amp rather than trying to push the bass through the PA, but a small 30-watt bass amp will never be heard onstage if it's competing with drums and other instruments up there. And how much/kind of power are you putting to them? Are you bi-amping the system (seperate amps for the mains and subs)? Anyway, enlighten us a bit on the rig. These seem to be popular with the Latin big band players I mix for, and these dudes have the chops! You can find used BlueMax's on e-Bay for under $100.00.is that cheap enough?Īnyway, if your 2x15" cabs are "budget" boxes like the JBL JRX, some Peaveys, Beh$#$%, Samson, etc., you are really taxing them with pushing bass in them. I have also seen a number of live bassists using the Aphex Punch Factory in their rigs. as far as getting a "cheap" compressor, I would suggest a BlueMax (it is reasonably clean, and has an active preamp frontend) or, better yet, a FMR RNC. That particular model imparts a bit of compression to the tone. What I believe that Groff was saying is that the DI like a Sansamp can deliver the tone of a good bass amp where a lot of DIs fail. That is the area of concern to deliver the goods. You haven't really given us the details of your speakers and amplification. To be truthful, getting a "tight, powerful sound" doesn't come cheap.
