[quote name='alexclaber' post='475433' date='Apr 29 2009, 08:20 PM']Nah, even double-walled corrogated cardboard can support a bass or two, let alone triple-walled. Just no stage diving from the faux rig, but that isn't doom is it? Alex[/quote] Being punched into the rig is doom, jumping off isn't. Not sure the feedback would be the same on top of card either. Anyway, I prefer the midrange sweetness of double walled, triple walled is a bit clinical sounding. Also, this is Doom:

[quote name='alexclaber' post='475393' date='Apr 29 2009, 07:31 PM']How about one surrounded by a number of large cardboard boxes artfully painted to look like an imposing rig of Doom? Alex[/quote] Nah, would squash when you lay your bass on top, put your hood up and stand facing your amp with arms raised.

[quote name='iamapirate' post='475334' date='Apr 29 2009, 06:25 PM']The TU2 is great except when you have it on bypass, you'd expect that pressing it would mute the signal, right? wrong. That's why you would also need a mute pedal for you to use it live in bypass mode.[/quote] You do know you can just plug into the other socket right? Either way they are both buffered, one mutes and one doesn't.

[quote name='redstriper' post='475326' date='Apr 29 2009, 06:20 PM']That's just mean - not everyone's as clever as you, but it doesn't make them massive morons.[/quote] I refute this statement.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='474906' date='Apr 29 2009, 11:30 AM']it's so loud you'll never need two[/quote] Not Doom.

Get a bunch of 2x10s. The ABM 8x10 is heavy but fairly compact and well handled.

It comes with the original parts, which give you a few hundred woth of parts. with your bass.

Might be a fuse change as well, oh and a different lead.

The two outs on a TU2 tuner work pretty well for signal splitting, thats probably the easiest thing. You can probably take multi amping too far though.

I got a squeal out of my bc rich at certain angles with gain pedals, switch the pickups to waxed 1/4 pounders and it went.

[quote name='ian' post='473681' date='Apr 27 2009, 08:34 PM']ok another question if anyone can help.what emg jazz pick ups do i need for my jazz bass but its now passive many thankls ian[/quote] That really depends on what you want it to sound like. Is it a Fender Jazz? Or an 'in the style of'? Most of what I've read about what EMGs sound like didn't seem to agree with what I heard when I put them in my bass, so reading about them is not the way. Get hold of something with MEGs in and have a listen.

Not sure sensitivity is too big an issue with 1000w at your disposal. I'd guess dinky cabs that you can just keep cranking without them dying would be the true path.

As long as you turn down if it sounds wrong, any wattage cab is fine with any wattage head. It's only a pain if you use bunches of distortion so you can't hear your cab farting out. Having a much more powerful head means you have the option to get more cabs in future.

[quote name='ian' post='473001' date='Apr 26 2009, 11:04 PM']hi im taking the j east out of my jazz and hopeing to replace with some EMG jazz pick ups do i need a pre amp or are they passive ? thanks in advance ian[/quote] Active EMGs have a preamp already. Only passive pickups would need a preamp, its the preamp that makes them active. You can put an addtional preamp after actives though. You get passive EMGs also. Basically, if you get a set of active EMGs, they just need pots and a battery. If you get any passsive pickups, you can either go without, or add a preamp, which will make it an active bass.

Bit of thread necromancy, but now I have a bass with a dimarzio model 1 at the neck, I find octavers track it really damn well.

Check track in my sig, thats two miced cabs, one huge 400w valve head, one smaller valve head about to explode and a Sansamp BDDI. Came out pretty huge and plenty present. Not sure what trickery happened desk side, but can find out.

Gonna have the time to open this all up tonight, will anyone be about for some 'live' input?

Worst I've touched was an Indonesian, it was plywood and really light, and totally dead sounding.

I've made pretty good guitars out of Chinese Squiers. Pickup upgrade and a set up, and an extra trem spring or blocking the trem pretty much sorted them.

One of the speakers gave up the ghost in my Ashdown ABM 8x10, it was already pretty old, with the Celestion speakers. Plus it was being played by someone who thought that a pair of Aguilar GS412s weren't loud enough already.

If it was jsut a bow, in the neck in line with its length, then its fine, but clamping sounds like a twist, which is bad, an kind of unlikely in a fairly new, reasonable quality bass, unless its been boiled or something. It is possible the 'tech' is taking you for a ride. You can pick up a whole new neck fairly cheaply, fairly standard sized.
