  1. Hinky. It might say Fender on it, but I doubt that is even a Squier.
  2. I think on the BB2 the 'tweeter' is a proper horn and the knob is a control on a crossover that sweeps the mid point, so not an attenuator as such. That being the case it might explain why ''off'' clears it up some and why BF sent you a new woofer without a full diagnostic check. I still reckon they jumped the gun on that.
  3. Not exactly. The mic needs to go into another 'mic' preamp that provides the Trace with working signal.
  4. Boss might call it an A/C adapter ( woooooo!) but everyone else calls it a bog standard 9v supply same as most pedals because the Boss 9v centre negative system was adopted near universally.
  5. My Trace amp needs the pre2 engaged or it feeds back. Whatever mids it cuts is right in breadbasket of the primary feedback frequency of my bass. You should definitely try out the rig with a bit of volume to see where you are at with FB.
  6. I had it's descendant model from early 90's, full on station wagon in miniature. That thing was a springer spaniel in sheep's clothing with a 1600 twin cam motor. Out on the highway it had very good ability to sneak up on fancy motors dawdling and blow past on the corner exit before they could boot it and cut me off. I think the most I carried in one go was rack of amp plus double bass & fretless in case plus 2x15 and music stand.
  7. That's a really easy way to blow the cab to bits.
  8. I think they must have dropped reading comprehension practice and testing from the education system.
  9. Repositioning the bridge only takes a drill and screwdriver. Take bridge off. Mark the new holes through the bridge in the new position. Drill new row of holes. Sucess.
  10. Fiddle player is the main gig booker? I think you know where you stand there.
  11. Best reposition the bridge per Skank and then see about the rest.
  12. Put together a killer three piece and take all their gigs.
  13. Measuring the G side would give a better idea, but the octave measure back the other way to the nut looks to be more than what you have got anyway, with thf saddles backed all the way back = fubar placement. Fix that and your intonation problem will be history. Hard to make out any twist in your pics.
  14. Until you get a feel for 1 cab vs 2 you need to be cautious with that. Getting the last watt through 1 twelve is well and good until it isn't. The rating does NOT mean you can let fly with the amp and the cab will take it.
  15. Read the other post twice more. Square waves are not square. Regarding the OP, many times I have heard of stray material getting in through the port and lodging behind the cone. Everything from a Homer Simpson toy to a lolly wrapper. The other gotcha is a dying battery in your bass preamp or a pedal. You would have to really slam a BB2 for it to break the woofer. Rig up some music through it at low volume and increase. If it gets deafening without the distortion you'll need some very good hearing protection. Putting your ear down to the speakers you should be able to hear if it's coming from the horn or the 12.
  16. No. Speed is velocity, a unit of distance / time. Frequency is how often something happens, unit kinda abstract but always /time Independent of what is being described, the kicker is the wavelength, over which distance it takes an observer to experience the wave repeat. Velocity = frequency x wavelength Turning up the loud knob makes the cone fly further making it louder, doesn't change the frequency. To travel further in the same time it must be travelling faster.
  17. The faster the speaker cone moves the further it must travel to maintain the frequency relationship. Both of those take more power to do. Low bass eats power.
  18. Check the scale length. From the sound of it the bridge is too close to the neck. Measure the nut to 12th fret. Should be same again to the bridge.
  19. There's a small boat made in China Going nowhere on the mantle piece It's the same room but everything's dif'rent You can blah the blah but not the ( rhymes with piece) ChOrUs!!!!! Blah de blah de throwaway blah De bla DeBlah de Blah...yada yada.. ChORuS!!!!
  20. I was going to say Gene Simmons: Self. But everything covers it well too.
  21. It's in the OP. Less haulage for most gigs. Other benefit can be avoiding startling venue managers by setting up the 212 when it's overkill.
  22. If I were you I would keep playing gigs as they arrive, minus freebies, and start another project. When and if that takes off you can leave the semi-pro lot completely or continue to play as available, and snag upright gigs for your main band, as as you feel.
  23. Heating an otherwise unused space to keep basses comfy seems like a waste of power to me. Controlled heating won't do anything to the moisture in the air except make it relatively less saturated. So long as you were keeping it at 16° and it didn't overheat naturally it would be fine. Still a waste of power. Then what do you do when it bakes in the summer?
  24. Simple. A BF tweetered 12 and a non tweetered one for backup.
  25. I have never tried it myself but several of these threads have had ''I was giving away a perfectly good XYZ on driveway, it sat there, until I changed sign to Price: £50, then it was stolen in ten minutes".
