Hello,
I have done some tests, and I prefer the sound of micing a real guitar cab to IRs and cab simulations. Now I am contemplating micing bass cabs as well. I don't own any bass cabs at this point, and I have no experience micing bass cabs.
I would among other things drive the cabs with a 100 watt tube head. There are three things I am concerned about:
1. Will I have issues, because my room is not acoustically treated to deal with very low frequencies at high amplitudes?
2. How much do I need to be concerned about the vibrations causing things to fall over? (Will I physically melt in front of a loud bass cab in a smallish room?)
3. How much (in your opinion) is a real miced contributing to a rock production compared to other option like IRs/simulations or direct signals?
Extra question. Can The amplitude of an bass cab possibly damage a microphone?
EDIT: I meant to post this in the guitar section. sry
