If it were a P Bass I wouild say Crimson, alternatively for a jazz, WD Music or Northwest Guitars.

I don't know about the switching. The pickups may have been stock as Matsumoku pickups were very similar to DiMarzio aesthetically.

Still no paid gigs on the horizon for us.

I am sure that is by the Matsumoku company in japan, better known for Westone and the early Aria's. The shape is the Westone thunder shape and both the pickups and the brass bridge look like those fitted to the Westone/Aria basses.

Sorry wrote a load of tosh so deleted.

My first was a Squire Precision in CAR. It was a very good guitar and as I bought it SH in the mid 90s, I am not sure where it was made or how valuable it would be now. I sold it to buy a Thunder 1A. Wish I had not sold either.

My local store, Absolute Music set up all the instruments on display. If a new instrument comes in it has a label saying that it is new in and yet to be set up by the in-store techs.

Zemantics, they always go there when they have lost.

Most modern amps have some kind of protection circuit and will cutout if over temperature or an over current is detected. It is perhaps a sign that the amp or cab has a problem. The other option is that you need a higher output amplifier.

Be aware that you cannot use an instrument cable to connect the cabinets. The cable is nit designed to take the high currents involved and neither are most jack plugs. I can make you a cable or you can use some of the reputable companies online. To ensure you know that this is a speaker cable, I suggest a jack on one end and a Speakon on the other. Use either Neutrik, Cliff or Amphenol speakons and Neutrik Jacks,

Nice work although the tone has little to do with the wood species used for the body. Mass of wood can vary enormously between samples of the same species. The neck wood has more influence than the body, obvious when you realise how much more neck is under the string than the body.

Laney HH Studiomaster are all part of the same group.

All they had to do was register for UK VAT. AliExpress did it months ago.

Oh dear Mr Krow, now I will have to plug my B1-4 into my computiing machine once again. Thanks for sharing.

+/2- is also used to 100V line systems, however that is unlikely to be found on a bass amp/speaker.

Yes, @steviereminded me of both. Thanks Stephen.

I saw Kris Kristofferson in the 70s, he was a good songwritter but could not sing a note live.

One of the issues with most tweetered cabs is that they don't take account of the difference in output between the woofer and the tweeter. It ia not just about putting an L-Pad attenuator in circuit. you also need a properly designed crossover to make sure there are no peaks or troughs in the response. While bass guitar and upright bass do not need to go flat to 20Khz, any shortcut in the design will show up in the sound and most quality HF transducers will go up towrads 20KHz. A good trick is to listen so some audio from CD. Choose a track you know well but one with say female vocals, Sade's first album is a good one to start with. @stevie also uses Dire Straights, don't use a track with distortion initially as it can mask what is going on.

Back on track. The phrase "suit beginner" was code for virtually unplayable in days of yore, The tye of instrument with a bow that Robin Hood would appreciate and frets that resembled a slalom course. To add to the list: Heft Warm Dirt Any adjective used to suggest a feeling when listening to music/audio.

Yes but I was wondering to which bell end you were refering. There are so many to choose from on GBN.

Not sure who you are alluding to, so many candidates,
