Which one is YOUR favorite and why?
Who needs some bass IRs?
I liked the Punch most
I definitely need some bass IR's ! Guitar IRs are very welcome too !
Great video, my dude! I like the Jensen the best. I'm going to have to look into that more. Thanks for the tip. And yes, bass IRs would be awesome. We bass players are treated like red-headed stepchildren (looking at you, Fricker ;).
By the way Kohle, the album's was released last week: ua-cam.com/video/5ufPO5_M0PU/v-deo.html
That Jensen Punch has a lot of....punch. Love it. And now I know why I can't find/buy a replacement Ampeg speaker. Sadly I have 1 with a dented cone on my 6x10. Free IRs or $30 range? Hmm?
Der Punch und BP102 klingen echt gut. Der Smooth ist sehr quarkig und anstrengend.
Bei IRs bin ich dabei und verkaufe meine Seele an den Teufel 😅
YES! No one has dared talk Bass Speakers before! Great video Kristian!
Hi Warren, hope all is well. :)
@@peehandshihtzu marvellous thank you!
Warren - Please demo you Vox IR's from Lancaster. Shit, please demo your entire producer pack. I'm super curious about the winterland, Vox cabs, and the greenbacks. Trying to migrate away from V30's.
Hey, Ignazio Vagnone from Jensen Speakers here.
Kristian, awesome video, dangle all the way :) cool to hear how much the Jensen Punch is coming up really nice in the mix!
About the Smooth speaker, I agree it may be too "clean" for that setup. It is, as you mentioned, really thought and voiced for a different thing: the name does not refer to the "tone" but rather to the frequency response curve, that is (doh...) more linear and, yes, smoothed, while the Punch is "voiced" to a specific rock tone. The Smooth works great in modern "2-way" arrangement, where the horn comes in to take care of trebles, and the woofer top end is custom tailored tp taste by the crossover.
Thanks for testing our stuff!
Hey man! Thanks for chiming in!
Great to get a direct feedback from Jensen!
It makes sense that the Smooth works a lot better in a true 2-way system. And I already said, it does not feel like it was voiced for metal bass tones anyway.
But the important thing is how cool the Punch sounds! That thing is made for metal. 🍺❤️
Dude watching a new video from you is always like wearing a cozy blanket.....
made of f*cking heavy metal.
Poetic! Haha! Thanks!
Love the beer with Kohle content!
Also very cool to see all these experiments with speakers etc
First of all I want to give a big thank you to you. And secondly Prost! You asked your listeners and viewers what they wanted to see and hear from your channel and you have definitely delivered my friend. Fuck yeah!
Thanks for making this video! About five years ago, I was toying with the idea of making a bass speaker cab, and wanted to hear some sound samples of different bass speakers, but as you mentioned, nobody made a deep dive video really going over bass speaker choices. Bass IR pack sounds cool!
You play your instruments so well it's so awesome to watch you play.
Keep it metal brother, 2021 is all yours my bro 🤘😝
Great video, as usual! I am astonished there are so few good videos about bass guitar speakers on youtube. Keep 'em coming! Hälsningar från Sverige.
Best Channel Ever !!!!! (why ? because the info presented is to the point & without wasting time. also all of the necessary & relevant technical details are explained fully..... and finally the videos are very professionally constructed)
Great as expected! My favourite is the Eminence speaker by far! Waiting for the Bass Ir Pack!
When played by itself I liked the Eminence best, but in the mix the Jensen really catched my attention. Great video Kohle! Waiting for more bass content like this. Prosit!
Thanks! And yes, in a mix you often need more Dängle than you think! That's why the Jensen shines there.
Love the Eminence Speaker Guitar Pack, they really improved the sound of a lot of kemper profiles. I just bought a Bass so Bass IR Packs from you would be awesome.
Really In Flames sounding jam session at the beginning. Love it. They're my favorite band
"I'm usually naked and I drink beer..." Wait, what??? Did I miss something?! 😂
Also, the idea of bass IR pack sounds great... Hail dängle! 🤘
Jensen speakers are mistakenly used for just blues but they hold up under high gain. Simply put, that dangle is underrated. The smooth oddly mixes with that kick drum too!
Oh yeah. Jensen should get more attention in the metal and dängle world.
I'm glad I've found this video! I'm currently contemplating the changing of my bass amp speaker... ;)
These bass speaker videos are amazing! I feel like my bass sounds have not been up to my standards recently until I saw the last video where you used the SM7B on the speaker (used a md421) and horn(and beta sm57) and also a LDC (akg 414) on the other speaker. I did that technique on my last recording last week and WOW did that work good.
There you go!
Recording bass cabs is complex.
This time a I liked the holes in the back
I would definitely be interested in a Bass IR pack. Hard to find them for Bass and your Guitar IR's are great so I would be grabbing the Bass Pack as well for sure.
The ball venting track 😂 That Trace head is a champion!! The 4x10's they came with were also monstrous sounding. That Eminence speaker kicked. The Jensen, although not as forward sounding in the mix, was really cool too. I don't know about the Celestion though...Thanks, take care :)
Such a great channel. Keep killing it!
The legend just works in the mix, that does it for me
Love the BP102, looking forward for the IRs!
One of the most informative and entertaining channels on UA-cam
Thanks man! Spread the word. More people should know!
This is actually THE most interesting video I've ever seen on youtube about this matter. Amazing analysis! As a proud owner of that same bass head (even if I don't ever use it, it has something wrong with the transformer I guess and it always has an annoying loud buzz going on, it has to be checked by someone who knows what to do) I can't wait to experiment to get that growling sound. The goal is simple: getting that dangle even with fingers XD I know, I know, almost impossible, but that's how I play bass! Can't wait for your next video Kohle, cheers from Italy!
Thanks man! Time to get your TE repaired, dude!
Awesome video! The Eminence and Punch are freakin' nice.
I want part 2! Now i know what speaker to buy for my 8x10!
Bass IRs are very welcome.
Dude you are doing good job
That was a very interesting comparison. Thank you, and God bless you!
Awesome!! I really love videos about other things than guitars ^^ It is good too see that you mic the tweeter and the back/Bassport, that is soooo important i do that too :)
That Jensen Punch speaker was my favorite of them. I preferred it's mid range response.
Do a 15" :) maybe after you through that and / or test 12", do a mix of 10"/12" and 15" or some interesting combo, there's bunch of fun sounds out there. Thanks for the bass videos!
Thanks. I’m here for the fun. It’s more a matter of having the right cabs available. But im sure I’ll find a way!
Yes, 12's please!
I'm impressed how different the eminence and the celestion sound.
thanks for this great video :) PLEASE do more bass related videos. dein content ist der wahnsinn!!!
Danke!
Ist schon das vierte oder fünfte Bassvideo. Ich muss eher mal wieder Drums machen!
I like the Eminence and the Pulse 10, the best ones for me.
But in the mix, the Eminence just nailed it. There's dängle and there's low end in the perfect amount
Thanks for the video, Kohle!
Thanks for tat great video very helpfull in the making choice process ! Maybe a demo with the Emminence kappa pro 10 and the Webber 10 FL !
Thank you for finally doing this! 🤘🏼
You're welcome!
Gotta love the piano tone.
Thanks for this video! Gave me the comparison and insight to get the courage to change my old 1980's Fender Bassman cab speakers out (never was too happy with the sound, even though the old speakers are Eminence. But the cab came packaged with the amp I wanted). The newer Eminence BP102 made a huge difference and it now sounds better than I expected.
Wow! Great to hear that!
@@KohleAudioKult and seriously...thanks for all the effort and time you put into this! A video like this is exactly what is needed to make this kind of decision. There is no substitute for hearing it side-by-side, especially with a professional doing the audio/video. Saved me HUNDREDS of dollars getting speakers instead of a whole new cab.
Thanks man!
Spread the word about my channel and share the videos! That helps.
And yes. I always do professional a/b comparisons. I have watched to many bad UA-cam videos, haha!
Great job as always, Kristian! Also, my granny loves you now!
🍺❤️😜
I'm doing to build my own bass amp some day, this is very helpful.
It's going to be a Marshall superbass/Ashdown EBM sort of amalgamation in style. Hybrid head with 2 inputs, 2 channels, a 5-band graphic EQ, Sub harmonic overtone control, FX-loop, D.I output and a massive 4x15 cab with (just now decided) Celestion pulse speakers. The whole thing will get traditional Fender/Marshall styling with the twist of a red grill just to change things up
I have never thought about bass speakers since I got the Ampeg 8x10.
great vid! wouldnt mind if you do 15 inch speakers as well
Hell yeah! Would love to see some 12 inch in the future. I use a 1980 Music Man 412-B but it has Ashdown 12 inch speakers in it. I love the way bass sounds through 12s.
Looks like a lot of people wanna hear 12“s
Great vid! Eminence is the winner for me! You can literally whistle along to the Jensen smooth high mid peak! hahaha! Awesome! Thanks!
Your videos are always so good!
Thanks man! Spread the word!
At last! Always something new & interesting, Kohle :)
And you have the first buyer of your bass IR pack as well :)
They each sounded very resonant and each with it's own hollow (or maybe 'throaty' is more descriptive a word) signature dependent upon it's resonant placement...but less so with the Jensen 'Smooth' which had less signature resonance and more balanced across the lower mid to bass band and no growl in the low mid.
They each mixed well into the music...except the Smooth, which disappeared.
I use a SWR 2x10" reflex cab for yrs and love it. 2x100w drivers driven by a 1969 100w SUNN tube head...punch/clean sound/projection.
When is the next video coming? I'd be really interested to see how the darkglass cabinets sound compared to your ampeg and tc cabs
I hope I'm not the only one that liked the Jensen Smooth, that sounded the best to me the moment you played the first riffs on it.
Thanks for the video. I have the same TC cab and was thinking of changing it. I think the tone issue is from my class D amp (Aguilar Tonehammer) and I should get a more powerful classic head, like a Trace Elliot!
New Trace Elliot is really Ashdown, which can also be found used for cheap but only get the ABM range.
The real gold with TE are using the matching cabinets. The classic 410s are two sealed 210s in one cab, like the classic Ampeg design but they weigh a ton.
Bass players get hit with the box of shame unless the soundman takes the DI off the back of the amp, neither normally have an IR unless using something specific like a Darkglass pedal.
Outside of the studio bass speaker cabinets are mostly just big monitors as almost every soundman will take a DI
sad but true
I'm using a 2x15 Mesa D4 cab. Went through 2 sets of factory speakers before switching to a pair of Eminence Speakers. I don't remember the model, as that was 10 years ago, but they sound amazing. Please do a Shootout with 15s
THANKS YOUE KIND SIRS. My frewnds got me a OUBCH 150 wass and a Home Depot pail and I put in in ter and now I has a home made speaker cabinet and it soundesd relly good. I made a voideos, THANS YOUY FOR ALL THES EGREATE WVIDOES!!!!!!! THUMBBERS UPPSES!!
Thanks for doing this video, I have the celestion pulse 12 and haven't been happy with the tone for a while but I never figured it was the speaker until I heard this comparison. I swapped it out for a eminence and it sounds way better. I had done a frequency response of the celestion and what I originally thought was room modes was just the speaker. Eminence not only sounds better to my ears but it's backed by a much more even response (so much so I actually question if the celestion was a dud somehow)
We need more bass speakers IR's. Please, do your magic.
I LOVE the Eminence speaker sound!!!! Thanks for share this comparation. I Will put it on my 2x12 some day!!!
I want to know, if possible, do you know what frecuency is configured for crossover between speakers and tweeter in your cab?
Thanks again for the video!! 🤘🤘
Im down for an IR pack of the bass DIs for sure. Im diggin graves with the DV-77 pack. Great work on those!!! 🤘💀
Diggin graves? Haha! Awesome to hear that!
Man I forget how great a guitarist/bassit kristian is! INSANE!!!
10 inch vs 15 inch speakers, love to see the end of this great debate. Love the content! Cheers!
I just don't have a cab for 15" speakers right now. But it's on the list!
Man the Jenson Punch sounds great and cuts trough the mix the best Imo.
I felt the same way, even though the Eminence one seems to sound better by itself.
This might be the video with most DÄNGLE all over youtube. Great video! 👍
Do what ever SWR used in their 90's cabs like the 6x10. Those cabs were incredible.
Oh yeah, I remember tracking their Henry 8th cab and it sounded fantastic.
They were Eminance but I don't believe they are available new anymore. And I believe they were the same speakers that Eden and Mesa used at the time.
I have SWR Goliath III 8 ohm. My best friend. PAS speakers are great still now. I never want to sell it. I had SUPER REDHEAD with Goliath but power amp module was burn and nobody could not repair it. Now I have Gallien Krueger Backline 115 and I replace the speaker a Celestion Pulse 15 8 ohm. I only use them in our rehearsal room.
Hey man! What a great video. The Eminence Legend was the best sounding speaker!
It would be really nice if you would do the same type of video with 12 inch speakers also!
The Smooth sounded better in the mix than by itself. Sounded like the Eminence was a little more vocal and clear than the others, the Punch was a close second and had some nice overtones. The Celestion plain doesn't work for the application.
Very cool video! Excellent demo as always!
Thanks. Good description!
@@KohleAudioKult Thank you.... No you had a good description! It was your video dude 😜
Very interested for the next one 🤘
Very useful video, thank you!
If you can, please do a test with the Eminence basslite sc10. Thank you one more time!
That one is already here!
Have been trying to fit a lot in one cabinet in the end I had to go with two to get the "right" sound I am using. one 15" to not lose the bottom end and one 4x10" for the mid and high tones. because as a Bassist one have to move a lot of air to get the Sound/tone I´m locking for.
was many years in the dream land that my equipment where just trash and needed to get more expensive gear.. but alas found freedom on sale for about 400 euros ha.. now if only I can find the right 10" speaker for my cab.... ... ...
The Jensen Punch sounds greeeeaat !
Bien sur!
Daaaaaamn!!! That sounded so good! But try the 12" bass speakers. They are nicely in the middle between a 10 and a 15 inch speaker. You get more woof and they are still more responsive than the 15". You get the clank over the horn anyways!
THANK YOU KOHLE!!!
I'm in the process of doing bass impulse responses. I need to get a flat power amp before releasing anything to the public. But running my Darkglass X Ultra into my daw with some IRs of my Mesa M9 Carbine into my Mesa 410 cab and it's absolutely beautiful. I'm gonna do some mic mixes and my Mesa 115 and hopefully I can get a decent Mesa full stack 410+115 IR pack.
Ir bass would be awesone. I would absolutely paid for that
Hearing that sound reminds me I should play bass more often. And I'm a drummer...
I think I prefer the Eminence speaker as well, it's just right for the dängle. Keep up the great work and dängle on!
Grüße aus dem Norden der Republik! \m/
Dängle on...should be on a T-shirt :)
Great video. As a guitar player, we need good metal bass IR’s. A lot of us guitar players have a bass as well to put a track down. And it’s so hard to get dangle. You. Are that dangle provider. Where’d I sign up?
oooh definitely do 12" and 15", the best bass tone i ever got was from a 12" swr cab
Those SWR cabs are great. I need to check what’s in there.
Thank you so much. I almost bought a Pulse. Definitely not what I'm looking for.
I recently picked up a mid 80s marshall 4x10 that sounds brittle and bad that I would like to be able to use as a lightweight portable alternative to a 4x12 for local shows. What 4, 10 inch speakers could do the job? Asking for guitar not bass. I love this channel! thanks
Great Video!
MarkBass are quite popular and they use B&C Woofers. Maybe you can get your hands on one of these.
How about videos on different sized speakers? You cover 10’’ now but how about 8s, 12s and 15s?
I've had a custom cab made by Cathedral Cabinets loaded with 6x Celestion Pulse 10 and 2x Celestion Pulse 12.
I feel like when you're hearing the speakers in solo that the Eminence sounds the most sexy and that the Celestion sounds a bit boring, but in context that Celestion sounds a lot more useful to me because its mids are voiced a bit lower, where you would want to scoop the guitars a bit anyways.
Also, I play in an HM-2 style band where the 1-1,5kHz is oversaturated by the guitars by default so it makes sense to go with something that is more present around 700-900Hz.
Great video btw and definitely check out the Pulse 12's, that low end is unmatched!
Well, I guess the Jensen/eminece work better if you wanna dängle through a mix.
If you just care about a great lowend and leave the midgrind to the guitarplayers, the Celestion will do great.
I would love to see you do a Mark Bass Amp. Always thought they sounded great to my ears.
Never tried one tbh. Maybe it’s about time!
Would you make a video about monitoring? The studio monitors, room treatment etc.
Just had an idea about room acoustics today. So yeah! Sooner or later.
That Trace Elliot amp was often paired with 10” Celestions from the factory.
Loving your Eminence IR's, would deffo be on board for some Bass IR's too! 🍻 Also I'd be curious to see your take on how Aurora Mammoth compares to Neural DSP's Parallax.
I do have the Parallax too. So that would be an option.
I just got one Jensen punch 12 Zoll for my practice amp..a .caliber 50 ftom Mesa...great sound..bass sound out of a guitar amp ...why not, it works well !!!!! ;)
This channel is way to good!
Please, debunk the myth about speaker damage when using bass cabinets with guitar and vice-versa.
Noted! Thanks
Nice video! Can you test emminence deltalite 12? Thanks
Eminence legend BP102 is amazing!
That video was soooooo helpful! Thank you sooo much Kristian! In my bass amp are two 8ohm 150 Watts speakers. And I find them a bit too deep, too dark ( a little bit like the Celestion pulse). I prefer clanky, bright bass sounds in Rock and Metal music. As the Jensen Punch fits exactly (10inch, 8 ohm, 150W), I am going to get a pair of those to put in my combo :-) And they are very affordable, too!
Viel Spaß!
Awesome Video!
I'd be interested to hear those Electro-Voice EVM12L. Steve Harris has been using them since the 80s. Don't know if they're good for the Dängl, but apparently they're really neutral sounding.
That might be something if I really do a 12" test.
Hey. Great video!! What do you think about the eminence kappa over legend ??
Hi! awesome stuff! Can I find These irs somewhere?
Testing 12" bass speakers would be cool. The Celestion BN12-300S is not only a nice bass speaker, but it actually works great as a guitar speaker, too. Double the fun!
12“ would be interesting, yes!
Are you using it in a guitar cab?
@@KohleAudioKult Trying to summarise it: I can't reach out my bass right now, I got the speaker just 2 weeks ago, I tested it with a guitar on a 1x12 at low volume in my tiny 1-room apartment and I plan to get materials to build a properly-sized bass cab when non-essential stores are reopened :D
All sizes in this speaker series have some dangle to my ears, but weirdly enough I only heard the 12" being tested on guitar cabs.
I‘d love to hear the pulse mixed with the other speakers. I imagine the punch and the pulse would go great together!
Also i‘d like to hear the BASSLITE SC10 from eminence, another neodymium speaker.
A propos neodymium, I‘m using Two Notes WoS and i love the Celestion Copperback pack and the Orange vertical 2x12 with Neo Creambacks, i think they sound absoloutly killer. Haven‘t tried them with metal though, i‘m more of a Space Rock/ Stoner Rock guy!
I do have a Basslite hear. So you will hear that one soon!
Hey buddy, are you playing to do the 2nd follow-up video to this one? I'd be interested to see if there are other 10" speakers out there for metal.
At some point, right now I’m busy preparing my academy!
The eminence sounds best so far, more balanced, has a bit more bottom than the jensen punch. It sounds almost perfect.
I never liked the neo cab I played, I think they sound thin and weird in the mids and high mids, and lack bottom. ( That might the cab construction material as well, but they were ampeg cabs.)
My favorite cab ever is the svt610 hlf, classic series, these ampeg cabs have something, quite a punch in the low mids.
I really loved the eden 4x10 I have played, too, they are awesome. But don't ask me what speakers are in these cabs!
The Celestion is the only one i kinda didn't care for, however in the right situation it might sound great! I liked the neo a lot more than i thought i would as well.
That Jensen Punch is fire! 💪🏻 I'd have 2 suggestions for the next video: the FANE sovereign 10-300 and the Turbosound TS-10W300/8A (a budget speaker which i find would be interesting).Hail Dängle! 🤘🏻
Those are both bass speakers I assume?
Didn’t even know Fane were doing bass speakers. Or are those PA speakers?
@@KohleAudioKult The Fane is probably a Bass Speaker - at least i have an old Laney 30W Combo Bassamp with an 8 inch Fane Speaker in it. About the Turbosound - i'm not so sure, i know Turbosound only from their PA-Systems - but that thing is cheap and maybe worth a try 🤷🏼♂️ Both speakers are available at the big T
Oh, the Fane is really a bass speaker: www.fane-international.com/view-product/SOVEREIGN-10-300 and the Turbosound is indeed a PA speaker: www.turbosound.com/product.html?modelCode=P0E4N but worth a try nonetheless at a whopping 59€ 😉
YES IT'S DANGLE TIME AGAIN!
LETS GOOO
I like the punch speaker. Give those bass DI's to me. By the way, could you review the plug-in Parallax by Neutral DSP? I have that one and it sounds good by itself but I don't love it in the mix. Prost 🍺
A video with 12" speakers would be neat always heard they were more balanced then 10s or 15s havinv a bit of the highend of the 10 and lowend of 15
