What, not even the Squire Jazz? At least us left handers can play a bass upside down. Not a lot of choice really if we want to try something out.

Just heard the little bastard here, Zoom Q3HD, in the misc for sale items, what a great little amp. Never heard one before. You could try adding another cab or perhaps having 2 of them.

This is the world of the left handed player. The chances to try before you buy are virtually nil. Go into any music shop and you'll find a whole host of interesting right handed basses, but in the left handed section we find a Squire Jazz, normally black, and possibly a cheap Yamaha and or Peavey and that's it. At least amps are ambidextrous. .

It's only 30 watts and half way could well be flat out with decent pickups. You may have reached the limits of the amp.

I've gone back to using my super duper refurbished 8x10 so the problem has gone away again. The 4x10s were only a stop gap as my 8x10 was looking seriously tatty. That was probably the drummers fault as well. No respect for equipment, not even his own.

In theory there is no difference in sound between front ports and rear ports and if you're standing in front of your cab playing this is true. However, when I used a couple of rear ported 4x10s recently our drummer complained that the bass became so overpowering that he couldn't hear his foldback or the guitar in places. No difference in the amp setting though. I suspect that he was hearing the output of the ports where he'd never heard it before, but then again, he is a drummer!

Don't forget that in the 60s / 70s that was all we had, 100w valve head and 2, 4x12s and that did any venue with no PA support. 2000 seater, well stander actually, no problem. I've owned a few super bass 100s and they are great but they do only have the one sound but what a sound and if it's the sound that you're after then you're on a winner.

As it's a backup and will probably never be needed, unless you don't take it with you to a gig of course, then I'd say anything that works.

I'm interested.

Not enough speakers. There, you don't have to buy it now!

Line 6 G30 for me, superb!

I've also bought loads of stuff from DV and their service is great, you won't go wrong with them.

I'd of thought that a Maple body would be anything but mellow.

Actually that's just added a whole new level of confusion. Not really, I see exactly what you mean now, how strange. What are you suppose to adjust the truss rod with then?

Would something like these help? [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000LFVJ0E/ref=asc_df_B000LFVJ0E7969062?smid=A2JOTKNCZJ0Z4V&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B000LFVJ0E"]http://www.amazon.co...ASIN=B000LFVJ0E[/url] You beat me to it.

Actually it's quite easy to check the science for yourself, just go for a wander round the venue with a transmitter or extra long lead during a sound check and hear the difference in sound/ tone from stage to audience. You might be surprized, but then again, you may not.

No problem and good luck. I've never owned an Ampeg cab so I don't know how the speaker wires are attached to the speaker so it might be best to have a soldering iron at the ready for when the speaker comes out.

If the back is removeable, that is with a load of screws around it, then take out the screws, take the back off and unbolt the speaker. No screws in the back? Then the front cloth is vecroed on. Gently prise it off, undo the speaker bolts, they'll be bolted into T nuts and remove the speaker but be careful of the wires to the speaker. Disconnect these before pulling the speaker right out.

try these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-RUBBER-CASTORS-CASTERS-WHEELS-75-mm-/310383495824?pt=UK_BOI_Industrial_Supply_Material_Handling_ET&hash=item48444c4a90
