Buy bass speakers at session
No loud without a bass box! Anyone who plays electric bass or acoustic bass cannot avoid using a bass box and amplifier . But why do the bass box and bass amplifier come in separate units? Once the location is a certain size and of course also based on the volume that you want to operate as a band, it has become established for electric string instruments to separate the amplifier from the loudspeaker box. The main reason for this is primarily mobility, as in the early days both the amplifier unit was very difficult to transport due to its tube technology and the speakers due to their massive magnets and bulky construction. This is why combined devices of a certain size would have been difficult to move. The most famous representative of this type of bass amplifier suitable for stage use is probably the Ampeg SVT and the associated 8 x 10 inch speaker . The use of eight 10-inch speakers resulted from the desire to combine the largest possible membrane area with the fastest possible response. Especially in rock music, it was and is important to have pressure at high volumes, but also definition for fast runs or generally fast playing.
sound differences with different loudspeaker sizes
But the combination of several 10 inch speakers and the bass instrument also produces a relatively hard and cool tone, which does not suit every style of music.
That's why the 12 inch , 15 inch and 18 inch speaker versions have become established. In modern jazz and Fusion, for example, you often find 12-inch speakers that are still fast enough in terms of response, but offer a significantly warmer tone than their smaller representatives. Another reason for the popularity of these speakers is that thanks to manufacturers such as Markbass , Aguilar , Glockenklang , EBS , Gallien Krueger and many more, small 1 x 12 inch speakers with high efficiency are available, which are also perfect for sessions and concerts on a smaller frame, such as in bars.
All larger designs such as 1 x 15 are usually used in combination with 2 x 10 inch or similar speakers to round off the overall sound and make it fatter or used in music styles such as reggae, where the bass is mainly intended to provide a boost.
