Alien

I've seen it done somewhere, but I'm buggered if I can recall where. It was done on a single-string instrument, and the string ran back down the instrument (inside perhaps?) so it could be connected to both poles of the jack. I'll try to find a link this evening. Andy

Paul bought a Rocktron off me - good guy to deal with, no messing about. Andy

This was built to go with the one I sold to The_D, it's got the same corners and connections just a different grille. Anyway, here's a couple of pics like you requested.

I've got a DIY 4 Ohm 1x15 that doesn't get a lot of use. Fitted with an Eminence Kappa driver, 450W handling. I'd be looking for about £80. I could probably deliver as I'm going to be down your neck of the woods fairly soon. PM me if you're interested. Andy

[quote name='oldmanrock' post='365794' date='Dec 29 2008, 09:49 PM']If a speaker is capable of bi-amping, then the plate on the back of the speaker will have 4 binding posts: 2 + terminals and 2 - terminals. Both + terminals and both - will have a piece of metal connecting them together. To bi-amp the speaker, remove the metal piece. Then, use the top 2 terminals for the high frequency amp, and the bottom two terminals for the bass amp.[/quote] No, no, no, no, no! Speakers with 2 linked sets of posts are suitable for bi-WIRING not bi-amping. This is one of those hi-fi things that always struck me as pointless, as you're still using the same passive crossovers.

The font used on the front panel says early '80s Laney to me. Andy

Assuming you could find one, you might also want to consider a Laney G12. Pretty much copied from the Trace GP12 (note I said copied, not cloned) runs bi-amp, stereo or mono. Worth a look if one comes up. Andy

I'd use the preamp out jack on the amp. It shouldn't affect the signal path as it'll be in parallel with it, and well buffered. This is the sort of thing it's designed for. Andy

Mostly out of curiosity (but not entirely ), I'm looking for the smallest thing you can plug a bass into. There are a couple of criteria that must be met though : 1. It's got to have a speaker, so headphone amps are out. 2. It has to sound reasonably like a bass (ie. not something like the Ibanez GA1 - tiny though it is it sounds like someone farting in a tin can) 3. Ideally wants to have at least the option of running off batteries, but not essential. 4. Must be capable of keeping up with an acoustic guitar. Extra points will be awarded for thinking outside the box. So guys and gals, what can you come up with? Andy

I suppose in theory the best way would be to run a cable from your amp to each cab, and then another between the 2 cabs. That way each cab is fed from both sides, which should minimise any bad effects from dodgy connections and differing power requirements due to frequency response. As Bill said though - unmeasureable and inaudible in all likelihood.
