On a note of power supplies. The Bass Murf is happy to run off anything & share, just as long as it gets over 300ma. The PSU I use on the 101 is off a Phillips electric screwdriver (that I no longer have). Moog said they use + tip so you can use almost any household 9-15v PSU as long as the amps are ample.

The 101 can be fussy when it comes to sharing power. I tried it on a daisychain, Shep tried powering it off his power brick (can't recall what it was) & we both had to give it it's own PSU. simwells suggested trying a Diagio isolator or a Gigrig virtual battery in a previous thread (Shep might be using the latter now). They're + tip & I run my 101 off a 12v 200ma PSU & it's perfect. I also did a copper shielding mod (put some copper sheets on the inside wood panels).

It's a pretty uncoloured combo. Try some of your other basses with it as some sound awesome through it & others not so (as may be your case). Did you play about with the tone on your bass? Leaving it set for how you use it on the EBS might be part of the issue & playing with the filters could help too. Stand the combo on it's end (sideways) rather than tipping it back.

It should do. You're basically switching the wiring of them from series to parallel.

The good thing about Thomann is that you can send it back if you don't like it. But your analysis is probably correct.

Well I suppose a leg is better than a bell!

If you're looking for a GK 2x12, you'd be better spending a little extra on the Neo 212-II. Why not a 2x10?

The low E on the bass is @ 41hz, the low B on a 5 is @31hz. 52hz is @ Ab. However, the harmonics a note produces are what we often hear & usually an octave up, but trick our mind into thinking it's the root note. The lower hz a cab can produce though = trouser flapping. Edited to say, 52hz sounds like it might be a guitar cab?

Sorry, couldn't resist. It really depends on what the cab is doing with the 14hz & what it does with it at volume.

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1340822450' post='1710183'] So what would be the noticeable difference between cabs that went down to 38hz vs 52hz? [/quote] 14hz

Vertical 2x12 will be lighter & have a better dispersion than a standard config 4x10. As for sound, it depends which ones you compare.

I use a Godlyke Powerall to power my 2 Boss pedals, the Distortion & the Bass Murf with no probs. The Moog LPF won't share power without squealing like a biatch, even after doing the copper shield mod!

Watts are the Thermal ratings. That's how much heat the speaker can handle. You're more likely to have a mechanical failure.

Yes, you're correct. Wattage isn't the only thing that blows speakers (it's one of 4 factors), so use your ear & if it sounds bad, adjust to suit.

When you get your cab, find a local shop that stocks a few of the amps you want & take your cab along to try them. MarkBass, GK, Genz Benz & so on all make great heads, but it's down to personal preference on what tone you like.

I got some from New Moon Insurance for £25 for the year (that included insurance for just my bass as I had to insure something to get it). It's @ £75 for a 1 day cover!

I really want to go now!

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1340644415' post='1707504'] They are in the concert hall in Perth on Friday go on, treat yourself, you know you want to [/quote] I'll talk nice to the wife & see what happens. She'll probably say "Don't leave me now".

I might get to see them play the Great gig in the sky.

[quote name='debwilliams' timestamp='1340629726' post='1707246'] xgsjx .... you can recreate this adventure very soon! All you need is a mate and a free afternoon. Brit Floyd are heading to Scotland ... [/quote] I'd love to, but a wedding & a full re renovation of the house (coupled with the Mrs starting her own business) means no money or time.

First thought - you should be asking the Mrs for advice. But after reading your post I'd say you need to adjust your strap position or play sitting sown to start with. I'm at work, so can't type loads just now, but have a look in teh techniques section on here.

Sounds like an excellent adventure!
