Suspect Orange and others want to save a few pennies. As Dad and Ghost say, DI box the only realistic way to go. Just use a decent one (Orchid - UK made, cheap - £35 - but Sound on Sound was very impressed).
-
Nice instruments. One on sale here a few years back for £300ish. Don't know what it went for in the end.
-
It's all down to the individual player. I never measure height. Just set it so it feels right and doesn't buzz.

This is all good. Fender has been a bit like Hoover - they were first and became the generic instrument, the go-to brand. Now they're just another manufacturer - people compare their offerings to others and don't buy by the name. That's the way it should be. Having said that, I love my old Jazz.

Spot on Mykes. Enjoyed that

Bill Nash P J bass problem, help please!!!
Dan Dare replied to big rob's topic in Repairs and Technical
If the maker is happy to pay you to take it to a tech, I'd do that. Sounds like an iffy connection. Sprays/air won't sort that. -
Rega Brio. Will drive anything. Can't go wrong.
-
Wow. Bet they did sound nice. Have you seen how much 15" Tannoy Golds go for these days?
-
Got to be a result. An amp you can do proper gigs with for less than £300. Hope you find the magic tone you're after.
-
Thanks All for suggestions. Just pulled the trigger on a P Bass Special - Thomann sale. Jazz neck, which should suit me, PJ pu's, can use passive (rarely found an active I can get on with. Fingers crossed I'll like it.

Gator make a nice gig bag - in several sizes - that would probably suit.
-
Ampeg 4x10 is a decent width
-
The 2 previous owners deny making any repairs or hearing a problem with the cab... As Mandy Rice Davies famously put it, "They would, wouldn't they?"
-
always a few on eBay
-
xgsjx beat me to it. I thought this thread was about amps nobody likes... As other say, there are amps with heat sink/convection cooling. However, they tend not to like being cased - can get too warm, unless they are low powered. Better amps have quieter fans - my EBS fan is very quiet.
-
30 quid for something that works? Bargain. You'll want something better in time a you progress, but you shouldn't have much bother getting your money back. Have fun.

Scott's Bass Lesson - 14 day FREE trial to the SBL Academy
Dan Dare replied to maldy's topic in General Discussion
Scott's very good, but got fed up with the daily emails trying to flog me something. -
You need a xlr sex changer - an inline plug with male/female xlrs both ends. Try Google. Neutrik and Switchcraft both make them.
-
As zero9 says, you'd need another and I doubt it would work that well even if you did. Hard to sell things at the moment.Everyone's paying off the Xmas bills. Try later in the year?
-
Good point from BotB. May be safest to use an additional power amp for the extra cab. Used PA power amps can be had cheaply enough - just drive it from the line out. One extra 8 or 10 won't add a lot, though.
-
True. Could well be both.
-
Leaving aside small practice amps, the rehearsal room we use has a Hiwatt bass amp which is spectacularly awful. Eq totally ineffective. Take my EBS along these days.

2-channel preamp for acoustic- where to buy?
Dan Dare replied to cameltoe's topic in Accessories and Misc
Another vote for Orchid. -
It's the output transformer, rather than the valves, that will usually suffer from open circuit/no load/too low impedance.
-
Looking at the original question, I wonder if amp clipping may be to blame. Most combos will struggle once the master volume goes over the half way mark.
