You probably want to confirm it's not the pedal or a dud lead before shelling out on a new adapter.

My preference is for a bass break rather than bass solo. RHCP Otherside is very appropriate introducing the bridge refrain.

The room may well have an A tuning that matches the boxes. Try unplugging the top cab. Try swapping the cabs top and bottom etc. If no amount of cab swapping and unplugging does anything but putting a pair of sock socks under the amp does you can be pretty sure the cabs have a resonance by default.

I think it's unlikely a lack of physical capacity causes you to cramp. Much more likely you have been getting away with doing it all wrong until recently. An Alexander Technique teacher may be able to sort you out quite quickly. Or a bass teacher who is familiar. It's all about accomplishing an action with only the necessary muscle contractions, no extraneous tension.

The reference I found says Norway and UK both on 230v 50hz. Maybe some dodgy power where you live in Norway?

Diabolical is a pretty strong word. Agedhorse was in the thick of it when class D was becoming a thing for bass amps. Genz Benz were getting pushback from ''the market'' along the lines of your critique. So they put the new preamp into a pair of boxes, one of each power stage, A/B and D. Nobody could tell a blind bit of difference.

Not Jim Smith@ payscammers.com then?

What's the new Payscammer address?

That's all a bit different from the OP who seems to only accumulate. I buy the odd bass and sell the odd bass also, only stuff I haven't had a go on and want to try. If a bargain comes up I jump on it and it's no trouble to offload without taking a loss. The latest is pretty much 'the one'. It may stay or it may go. 'It's a bit heavy' is the only complaint, otherwise I seem to be covered. A better upright would be nice if I was flush. As for the OP, I would say the time to stop accumulating is long gone when a bunch only rate a mention in passing.

This reminds me. Always examine which way your gear pumps the air. If not careful one bit winds up drawing in the warmed exhaust of the other(s). An amp even sucks on its own sometimes. It's possible to rack up a set of gear that gets hotter and hotter as you go up the rack if you get it really wrong.

Some Markbass have oddball fx loops that don't allow them to just use the power amp return.

Yup. You found a combo that works. Life is good when it all comes together. Change one thing and it goes to hell in a handbasket.

I would say desperate to be not wrong and too stupid to realise he's about to lose a customer if he doesn't admit the wrong doing.

Mathematically it is easily observable. Power is proportional with voltage². The voltage average increases with distortion while the peaks are clipped. Hence the lower average same peak voltage undistorted signal plotted over time has less power. If solid state and valve amps have the same clean RMS rating there won't be any difference in loudness until the valve amp is cranked past its clean rating. Cranked tubes usually sound nice with high levels of distortion while cranked transistors often struggle. Some famous SS amps have done a good job of overdriven tones. Some even do it in the power stage. So it's not a perfect rule but safe to say a lot of extra clever electronics is between the bass preamp and the final output when an overdriven solid state amp doesn't sound like derrière, but you could get a useful tone out of your grandma's old tube gramophone amp.

Kala (Electric)UkeBass is not an EUB.

....12 hours on....that good huh?!

Is it an EUB with preamp or straight piezo?

Depends on the exact nature of the Darkglass drive. If digging in hard can get it to do it a little and it compresses but generally stays clean then you could find clean boost works ok for you albeit with loss of headroom, which could be no bad thing.

Ordinarily, for a 210, sure, but the one in the photo is a Barefaced with one woofer low passed. For a personal monitor I doubt it matters. The bigger problem might be the forward kick off the wall increasing.

'Walk shorts' were the fashion here in the 70's into the 80's. Tailored shorts almost to the knees, accompanied by football length calf covering dress 'walk socks', and dress shoes. Go figure.

You could always turn the cab up tall.

Here was me thinking my jazz band plays legit written down scores to packed halls, we must be doing something wrong.

Mesa had a long survey and think and found a rich vein of sales in the improved 800+. They charge a pretty penny for it too. One would hope they weren't all about fashion when they did it. In my case my HPF lives on my board. Very handy for showing up to unknown backline provided gigs and instantly having the best 5 string tones available instead of what I can cobble up from the EQ.
