I think you'll find that the two 8-ohm sockets are in parallel. You can either plug in a pair of 8-ohm cabs or a single 4-ohm cab into one of the jacks and leave the other vacant.

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1329304173' post='1540212'] I think you should make a full size rack and sell me your Boss tuner and the 1/2 rack [/quote] I'm just about to order a custom flightcase to take the Fusion, tuner and dbx so I will sell you the rack. In fact i have 2 of them to go.

1 x '71 Jazz 1 x MIJ '62RI Jazz 1 x MIJ '62RI Fretless Jazz 1 x MIJ Geddy Lee 1 x Shuker PJ5

Very sorry to hear this but unfortunately it happens. I know you've invested a lot of time in amassing the correct gear for the Bones gig but it's all knowledge and experience. Over the past couple of years I've been involved in several attempted start-ups which were never going to work and also rejoined a former band but after 3 rehearsals I found out that all the bad things that made me want to leave still existed and it was time to walk. Then up pops a great opportunity and I'm back with a regular band again. Have a break and eventually something is bound to come up that will be just what you want.

Since I made that rack last summer I have had to upgrade the head to a GK MB Fusion, which of course, doesn't fit. Now for Plan B.

After my enforced layoff for almost 3 years I was back in harness again last night having joined a established band a couple of weeks ago. Two full sets and a couple of encores to an enthusiastic crowd at The Swan in Farnborough. Negotiations for me to join have been going on for a couple of months which gave me ample time to learn their set list. A great mix of songs and not a 12-bar among them. Punters were happy, band were happy, I'm happy and we'll do it again next Friday. It's great to be back.

Welcome. There are quite a few Surrey BCers. Which side of the county are you?

very simply any small mixer would do what you want as long as it has at least a single mic/line input and a stereo input for CD/iPod/PC. I use a small Soundcraft Notepad which has 4 mic/line and 4 stereo inputs and is much more flexible. I plug my bass straight into the mixer. Because the line-out from the Markbass is a DI out I would assume that it comes before the main volume control in which case you can just turn that down and keep the speaker connected. What the manual doesn't show is whether the DI is pre or post EQ. If the line-out is after the main volume control then you will need to run the amp with the speakers disconnected.

If anything goes wrong Don then I have one you can borrow.

Thanks. obviously "a must to avoid"

if the 3-bolt neck wasn't introduced on the Jazz until 1974? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-1972-Jazz-Bass-Black-Case-2nd-Hand-/370568664148?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item56479d1454"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item56479d1454[/url]

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1327765381' post='1516479'] How do Orange achieve this? The price and weight probaly rules out a transformer so maybe an inductive load (I'm guessing that a purely resistive load would generate too much heat)? Any other ways of doing it? [/quote] From what I can remember from the block diagram the switch is near the front end of the power amp in a limiter stage so it could possibly be that the amp is actually designed to give full output into 8-ohms and they limit down for 4-ohms. I'll see if I can find my diagram.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1327586956' post='1513794'] Sounds like a returned item or display? I'm sure Thomann will jsut ship another [/quote] Hope so. Just realised that it wasn't in a plastic bag either.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1327154071' post='1507083'] Good work Dave, you won't be disappointed methinks [/quote] Mines just arrived but a bit of the polystyrene packing is missing/broken and there is no user manual. Did you get one with yours. Also a lot of dust on the knobs which indicates that it's been sitting somewhere out of its box for a while. Not plugged it in yet. Awaiting a response from Thomann.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1327251105' post='1508341'] Oh bugger. [/quote] It was the prototype and he said it was a year away.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1327154071' post='1507083'] Good work Dave, you won't be disappointed methinks [/quote] That's what i'm hoping. I'll use it with two SL112s in a band I've just joined.

I've been so pleased with my MB200 that I've just invested in a Fusion 500. Now the waiting begins.

Sold a Rolls PM351 Personal Monitor to Pete. Perfect transaction as always, cheers Pete
