Move It Shakin' All over
-
This was my thought and the reason for the question above. If the OP used a jack to jack speaker lead for his back-up then he would have bypassed the Speakon socket on the cab. With two different amps and two different speaker cables then the only common point is the cab Speakon. I would look there first.

Which speaker cable did you use with the back-up amp?

About as small as I could make it.

Handbox WB100 and Bergantino NV115.

I have a 19-inch rack shelf that is 15cm deep. Yours for the cost of the postage and a can of Heinekin 0.0.

Handbox Audio WB-100 - new 120w tube head (pics)

What are the improvements? -
Here's a good starting point. http://www.musicmanbass.global/serials-eb-sting-ray-5/

If it's 3-pin mini-XLR then :- Pin 1 = ground/screen Pin 2 = centre conductor Pin 3 Colour depends on what instrument cable you are using. If there is a conductive plastic screen then this should be trimmed right back so as not to touch the centre signal conductor.

It will be absolutely fine on the 4-ohm setting Nik. BTW the correct term is impedance, the word ohmage does not exist. 😉

This idea reminds me of this:

Is it possible to stick two pre-amps in a pedal and switch between them?
obbm replied to ForbiddenWytch's topic in Effects
Technically I see nothing wrong with the concept. Fitting it all in would be an interesting challenge but not impossible. It just depends on the size of the components. As for powering, if both pre-amps are 9-volt then a 9-volt supply would be right. If the pre-amps are able to run at 18-volts then it would make sense to use an 18-volt supply and give yourself more headroom. -
Depends on your budget. Anything from £100 up to almost £3000. For a Jazz have a look at the Bacchus mini Jazz. There used to be dealer in Petersfield in Hampshire but I'm not sure if he does them any more. There are several short scale Ps. Also have a look at the Spector Bantam or Shorty, especially if you can find one with a Wimbush neck.

Almost 20 years before he wrote the theme to The Professionals Laurie Johnson composed and recorded the theme to "No Hiding Place" BTW how do I insert a YouTube clip?

At one of the Bassist magazines bass days at ACM in Guildford Mo explained how he actually did the slap part. Apparently he couldn't slap but they managed to work out how to get that sound. A very entertaining talk.

And before any of those there was Money by The Beatles which was in itself a cover. -
In a former band the guitarist and singer, whose band it was, kept continually criticising a new drummer and keyboard player even shouting at them during gigs. I took great exception to their bullying attitude, after all it was supposed to be fun. The guitarist was often making mistakes so I was mentally and verbally prepared for when they eventually turned on me. "Until you can play a complete gig without any mistakes you have no right to criticise me or my playing". I decided to jump ship before the situation ever arose but that phrase is stored away for another day.
