LAURIE G-FORCE: Laurie G-Force, VieTNam.

PATRICK OGLE: And you're the bass player for the VieTNam?

LAURIE G-FORCE: I'm the bass player for VieTNam.

This is a Behringer head, you know, a classic Ampeg cabinet which works great.

PATRICK OGLE: What I think is I -- I just talked to another bass player where we were like discussing the head at 2 x 15 and I was saying, "I know what your one complaint about this amp is," and he said it was a ton and it is impossible to carry. I was talking earlier and he was saying that I know that he has the 1 x 51 but you can carry it.

LAURIE G-FORCE: Right. I for years played an 8 x 10, which is bigger than me, weighs more than me, and --

PATRICK OGLE: The obvious solution is to get somebody else. You have to get somebody else to carry that for you.

LAURIE G-FORCE: Which luckily I always played with boys and they would lug that stuff for me, but I really like this a lot better as it's sturdily on wheels and it's really a trooper and it just has like the one big speaker.

PATRICK OGLE: What's the difference in the sound? Is it like do you find any issues with that?

LAURIE G-FORCE: Well, this is a lot better for smaller places.

PATRICK OGLE: Right. When you're not killing people.

LAURIE G-FORCE: When you -- in a bigger place -- you know, some place like this it's great then it's not just overpowering and bouncing off the wall. But, I'd have to say, with my 8 x 10 I hardly ever got to put my head over like two, ever, you know, with the 8 x 10, and now I can use a lot more of the sound because I'm not just making it loud. I can also -- you get more treble and a lot more treble out of the smaller speaker. You have a lot more definition in what you're playing, and I really like that, and you can string two of these together to make it a full -- And I really like this. It has a deep thing that I use a lot and the bright that brings out the lows and the highs, and it also has a split pedal so I can turn on the Ultrabass which gives it several octaves. I don't use the shape too much because I find it just sort of blocks the sound out and I like to actually have more control on my sound on the bass. So, on the guitar I like to use a lot of effects so that maybe I can sing with the angels and it makes things that I'm not really trying to make but there are kind of nice sounds. But on the bass, I like to kind of know that whatever I'm laying down there is what people are going to hear so that they can play along to it. Next, the bass has to be [OVERLAPPING].

PATRICK OGLE: So the song doesn't just vanish.

LAURIE G-FORCE: Yeah, because the bass has to be a little stronger and reliable and kind of know what it's going to do, and I love this because it has a VU meter here that's lit that I can kind of see and I've been really happy with this. It slides, it fits in the car --

PATRICK OGLE: You know, a lot of the Behringer stuff in general is kind of like it's cheap stuff that works.

LAURIE G-FORCE: That works. Right.

PATRICK OGLE: You know, it's not the fanciest stuff in the world but it works well.

LAURIE G-FORCE: You know, it doesn't say Radio Shack but you know -- the same things you might use to do to your Radio Shack or your Peavey, you know [OVERLAPPING].

PATRICK OGLE: You're hiding it. You're hiding it. I'm going to talk. 'm going to go to people at Behringer and tell them you're hiding their name from them.

LAURIE G-FORCE: Yeah. Well, you know, this is --

PATRICK OGLE: You're never going to get a sponsor -- You're never getting it behind your sponsors now, so you might as well just take it off.

LAURIE G-FORCE: Actually, I think this is actually in the wrong place. This should actually be here. I like it when it's there. Isn't that pretty like that?

PATRICK OGLE: Yeah. I think you know what we'll call the Ampeg people and have them change their logo. I think that is my [OVERLAPPING].

LAURIE G-FORCE: Isn't that nice. That's how my 8 x 10 is. That's very nice there.

PATRICK OGLE: Ampeg is sort of balanced sound.

LAURIE G-FORCE: That's right because you know that's the -- that's hat the bass is, you know. It's the dark side of the band, and it's just like the yin and the yang and that's right, you know.
