Calling all bass players!
When playing live I use a 40 watt Marshall valve, our other guitarist uses an 80W Peavey solid state and we are both far louder at halfway than our bassist who is using his new Ashdown MAG which is 300 watts. He needs it on full volume to match us/the drummer!
Duly sent back to shop who sent him a replacement. Yep, you guessed it, it?s the same volume as the one he returned.
Now I know a bit about how watts translates to volume and linear curves and all that, but a 300 watt bass amp ought to be mind blowingly loud?
Any thoughts?
