Plenty big. The port is 4" diameter.

Depending on how much you love your guitarist you have next year's Christmas present sorted.

Look at it this way. Plug it in. It's on and you know it it's working and the settings haven't been moved. One LESS thing to check = bonus.

If I pick up my bass and play loud right now my neighbours that have to work in the morning will be nervous I might keep it up. Best not.

I bet you walk into a room and have already forgotten why too. Don't ask me how I know.

Key info gap. OP said both gains were near max. Over to OP when/if he gets back. Low pickup is an easy fix at zero cost. Replacing the pickup not so much. A preamp pedal with a mess of gain would surely sort it for very little as long as there is no impedance mismatch in play. Afaik the Elf has a pretty high input impedance so not likely to be part of the problem.

Same. The reason I can't play the rest is probably only that I haven't had the enthusiasm for them. It's amazing what you can get under your fingers when you are really into it, and then it's no big deal.

Off the bench to remind everyone doubling power only gets 3dB more each time until the coil starts to heat up. Then the increased coil resistance reduces the efficiency. Shortly after that you will generally run out of excursion and make farty noise. OP seemed pretty clear that the amp and cabs worked well aside from the one bass. New rig is way down the list. OP needs to chime in on his outlaw bass setup check.

Highly reminiscent but not as I remember it, would definitely do the job if I could read it on the fly. It would depend on the drummer having it down similar enough and probably jamming it out the both.

The Japanese have a good saying about saké. The man drinks the 1st bottle, the 1st bottle drinks the 2nd bottle and the 3rd bottle drinks the man.

Nice work. Captain Morgan has good taste in run down basses.

Try bypassing the horn attenuation and all, ie input direct to the woofers. You may find there is enough top end albeit not very shiney. If you do go down the route of doubling up on cabs the 2nd one will have plenty of sparkle for both. In case you are still wondering, the attenuator turns down the amount of power going to the horn, by turning it into heat. Blasting the attenuator with distortion and attenuating it can cook the attenuator. Better to EQ it before sending to the power amp.

Quilter 800 is uncoloured at noon by design. Can also put on a dirt show.

Yerp. 150w can do for a 15 if you EQ it bassy enough.

Not all preamps will work with all basses. Looks like you may have discovered that already. If your other basses do fine then you could well do with an extra preamp for the fretless and carry on elfing.

Are you really that bad that the landlord thinks you are pushovers? Tou can't renegotiate by decree and not at the 11th hour either. Turn up and demand the original agreed deal pay up front before setting up. Be prepared to walk. If that happens find the closest bar that will have you for 2 quid cover on the door and play your aresesses off 9 to 12.30.

Band meeting -1. Decide. ^firing^. Job done. Start auditioning for new backing vox. You are asking a bit much for a true lead vixen to hang about doing backing vox most of the time. Don't make the same mistake twice. To my mind the band gave her an opportunity but she has fallen short. She needs to be set free to follow her own folksy path. Maybe that will make her really angry and turn her into the next Joan Jet, doubtful.

You gave it a fair go in the best spirit of the world of "Order by mail, your satisfaction guaranteed!!".

Could cause life expectancy issues for the drummer if she is bad and he doesn't properly appreciate her efforts.

Short arm high is also valid. Loose pivot definitely won't help.

Dunno what you are up to with your multimeter but your assumption is wrong for starters. On the assumption that Blue Aran actually know what they are doing then you could just stop worrying about it and rock on per the advice given. Hook it all up and it should work from either speakon. There is no reason they would supply you with a 2 speakon panel that wasn't wired for parallel. A series one would be labeled as such. If you really want to test it out you'll need a bit more gear and know what +1 -1 +2 -2 actually represent. Bill sort of clued you in.

Make sure the subharmonic muddifier is not engaged.

I can see it ending badly. Her and hubby get their groove on as the new rhythm powerhouse. They find a new keys player. I can see it ending just fine if she is as bad a bassist as she is a keys player. In that case hubby will tell her she's much more use to the band playing keys, end of drama.

I think I may have played one on a festival backline a couple of years ago. It was an Ampeg 15 combo of the non retro look. It had the scrambler option which I left off. I plugged in my fx board and was happy. Unplugged and left. Sorry that's the best report anyone can manage.

Computes badly. Something broke. The most likely explanation is overdriving.
