Hey bass folks Does anyone here know if you can add another cab onto the Ashdown MK500 210 Combo amp at all? My gut is telling me as long as the extra cab is 8 ohms then it should be ok. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Jay

Ah that's brilliant, thank you so much! I'll give it a try...

Yes, the sides are kind of pitched if you know what I mean and it's not a flat surface. Also, there's only 2 tiny screws provided which obviously won't do it! The chassis is solid metal and other than taking it apart which is something I don't want to do, I'm stumped!

Hi folks I've literally just taken delivery of the Trace Elliot TE1200 but I cannot work out for the life of me how to attach the rack ears!! I can't find anything online so I'm hoping you knowledgeable people could help a bass brother? Jay

Hi all Call me a crazy muppet but I have just entered the realm of 7-stringed fretless basses and I'm wondering if there is such a thing available as a 7-string Flatwound strings set? If anyone knows of such a thing and where to get them (ideally in the UK) then I'd be very grateful! Jay

Hi folks Does anyone have any recommendations for a good quality active 5-string with 19mm string spacing? No Jazz-styles as sadly I don't get on with them... Any thoughts would be very welcome! Jay

Hi folks I have one of these awesome ShuttleMAX 12.2 amps which I absolutely love; I know this will be a long shot but does anyone have or know where I can get hold of a set of rack ears for it? I'd love to put this unit in a rack but I haven't a clue where to look for the ears! Many thanks Jay

Hi folks I've just acquired a Genz-Benz ShuttleMAX 12.2 and I gotta say, this amp is beyond awesome! The only thing with it is that the mute switch on the front panel does not work but it does have the option of connecting an external mute switch. My question is this; would anyone know if using an external switch to mute would work and secondly where could I get a latching mute switch from? Jay

Just been studying the manual and getting a headache lol From what I understand, the Effects Loop is positioned in the signal chain AFTER the compressor so that being said, I'm guessing if I connect the Full Send to my DI box then it will include everything There is no substitute for actually trying this out, I just wanted to get a little advice before I actually did it!

Hi guys Yes, I should have been more specific, it is the Peavey-era AH1200 I have. 'Old' Trace did an AH1200SM head that was extremely rare and ridiculously powerful but I've only ever seen 1 in the flesh so-to-speak. Thank you for the info, I've been trying to figure out another way of getting the full range signal to the PA without having to use 2 channels. Would connecting the Full Send out to a DI box then to the PA work??

Hi folks I have a quite wonderful TE AH1200-12 however I have a quick question that I'm sure one of you knowledgeable folks can answer: I have configured the rather extensive Effects Loop to create a crossover where the low frequencies are sent to the left power stage and the high frequencies are sent to the right power stage, my question is this; when DI'ing to the PA, would connecting one of the Post EQ DI outputs still send the whole signal (ie both low & high frequencies) to the PA or would it only send the corresponding low or high frequencies depending on whether I connected the left DI output or the right one? I would appreciate any help with this as I would prefer for the PA to receive a Post EQ signal rather than a Pre EQ signal! Jay

Hey, thanks for the feedback guys Seriously I'd love to go all out Trace-style with four cabs however I won't survive the beating I'll get from my bandmates lol Incidentally, my amp does happen to be a Trace Elliot...! That's why I asked the question; in my mind if I went for 4 Ohm cabinets I could utilise full power from the amp but with only two cabs but then at the same time I like the flexibility of the 8s in that although using only a single channel I could always add if I wanted to... Still undecided!

Hi folks I have an amp with 2 x 600W power stages that can drive down to 4 Ohms each side. My question is this, would getting two 4 Ohm cabs be more advantageous connecting one each to each channel or getting two 8 Ohm cabs for better flexibility? I'd be interested to hear opinions! Jay

Hi folks Last night at my gig, I unpacked my trusty RH750 head and discovered that the bass eq control knob had split in two and fallen off, does anyone here know where I can get replacements? I've had a look on everyone's favourite auction site but to no avail...any help would be much appreciated!
