No port in the back?

Bass is largely underappreciated, until it stops. The flipside is playing nothing on an intro, or sparsely, creates a 'dogs off leash' level of excitement when you kick into gear.

I didn't know Trace did any sealed bass cabs.

Bingo. I can't get my head around playing percussion parts and bass at the same time. All those snappy poppy extras on undefined beats would sound like total garbage if they were fingered notes, but quite choice additions to the kit.

One day I may find occasion to throw in a little slap/pop. I will be looking for the drummer to snap his neck if I do, like the day he didn't notice I had swapped in the slab for the EUB and dialed in a little bit of grind.

What about the sock?

Fairly limiting if buying new.

I wouldn't be too sure about the line level. Even the 'line' on the Sansamp isn't so hot for some pro applications.

The title of the thread is a bit of a giveaway.

If it doesn't have an off on switch it does it with the input jack like every active bass I ever had.

Not at all. They want to turn some profit on it. The end. If they weren't going to make a profit on each and every bass on the wall they wouldn't have a wall to hang them on.

My big band has never been quite that big but I used a China made Ashdown 15'' combo in many rehearsals just fine. They do hit another gear at gigs but with FOH should still be fine. One show had an old Trace Commando provided, 12'' I think maybe 15, and 100w. It worked fine for me but the kid big band on before us had it all distorted to hell.

Sheepskin would do the trick.

See what trimming 2 cm off the dividers for twin 21cm ports does for you.

I would forward that to the fraud squad.

What's generally unfair is the unmet expectation of reasonable care being applied to well packed parcels. Then we have these cowboys slapping upcharges on. Some of the insurance policies seem very difficult to get a payout on after rough handling wrecks well packed stuff. But the principle of owner insuring stuff in transit is sound.

Recordings tend to involve a whole lot of compression. Then YouTube compresses it some more.

Pretty sure it's AB, one of the last of the breed for mainstream bass amplifiers. @agedhorseknows for sure.

Google ''limited carrier's risk''. It allows the carrier to opt out of the majority of the risks associated with moving your stuff for you. Thus keeping prices down. Insurance in a nutshell, the same risk cannot be insured twice. One policy is always on the hook.

Shows fundamental lack of comprehension of what insurance does. What should really get you uptight is that no doubt they are taking a commission on every insurance policy they sell. They can't insure themselves without raising the cost of all parcels. They would wind up only shipping high value fragile stuff.

Have you got your debating hat on again? Of your list of live performance crimes the only one I can't forgive is overplaying so I would put that at the top. Bass moves the waist. Concentrating on that duty gets in the way of jiggling about like you have ants in your pants sometimes.

If you turn down the extra tone and presence you wind up with extra low end!

I think I see what the problem really is then. The bump button makes the thread header display bold like it has unread posts in it.

It's much easier to read the elapsed time on the right side, which is obviously not useful. Thing is, I would rather surf classifieds like the rest of the forums, by update.

This is better than what I usually see but still pretty random.
