Congrats on the new rig. Turn it up!:rockon:
Completed my new rig!
I'm so excited... this is my first bass rig! (I just had to share)
SX P/J --> Ampeg B2R --> Avatar B210
And a Korg pedal tuner that I occasionally even remember to use!
The Ampeg B2R is quieter than I expected it to be (not sure if it can hang with guitarists & drummers without a second cab) and I have come to the conclusion that playing my guitar through this rig isn't really going to work... it works but it just sounds... wrong. And this is coming from someone whose guitar "rig" (currently) consists of a Fender Frontman 15G.

*laughs* the chance of me winning anything (ever) is about equivalent to the chance of a meteor hitting my backyard... ie. none.
The B210 is really really light. It's about 40 lbs and I can pick it up without any problems (I'm about 120 lbs) - with both hands though. I'm really glad I went with the avatar over the ampeg b/c the ampeg's about 65 lbs, and I think that's the weight of the B212. I guess the alternative is to get the B112... but there's something so... symmetrical about a 210 over a 212. Maybe symmetrical is the wrong word, but just because the 112 ports are on the side, it kind of looks wrong.
My landlord & landlady were out of the house this weekend... so I got to turn my rig up
It was awesome... especially standing/sitting in front of it. Definitely eardrum bursting.

Ahhhh, you're hitting the resonant frequency of some of the stuff in your house - when I was still living with my parents, if I hit a B Flat, every picture in the basement room I used for practice would shake - never put it up loud enough for one to fall though
Nice. I think my problem is the D *laughs* - everything was awesome until I played the D then I got kind of worried about whether the sound came from the amp or whatever. Maybe my landlord/landlady have too much stuffAhhhh, you're hitting the resonant frequency of some of the stuff in your house - when I was still living with my parents, if I hit a B Flat, every picture in the basement room I used for practice would shake - never put it up loud enough for one to fall though

Yep; The strange things that happen with a new bass amp. I'm pretty used to the rattling they can do, crooked pictures, and setting off the truck alarm. Anway, I was giving it a workout when I first got it and kept hearing noises, crashes, bangs, thuds.Nice.

Maybe my landlord/landlady have too much stuff

And oh, I'm so embarrased by the moldy silicone, but it's fixed now!
