Downunderwonder

After you're done sanding a haircut and a shave would work wonders.

I am going to guess if it is still happening after a year you are playing with a pick?

Ever heard of confirmation bias much? I have too many amps and cabs and basses to try every combination in a week of evenings. Never once have my ears pricked up over a certain amp improving any particular bass.

Decide quickly. I had a singer with a good voice and energy but no timing. He could not hit a pickup. He would wildly shake a hip to the beat ok.......... and let fly. We parted ways and a few years later I see him on the bill for a showcase. He ripped. When I saw him after the show the first thing he says to me is ''I got timing!".

You need the ACME Downunderwonder foldup cardboard stand. Fold 2ft slab of cardboard into an artful W with return wings back down from the top and a short middle peak. Slice in a ramp. You want the back corner of the cab to sit on the floor and the sloping topped W (looking from above it's a W, bottom toward front of cab) locks in place uncollapsible. Store in port slot.

A supple stick with which to beat the guitar player who cranks his volume.

There is provenance and Provenance. Instruments from household names are collectables worth big bucks to investors. Instruments of so and so who played on the album with the household names, not so much. That guy who sold his strat to Rick at Pawnstars did more than ok because it was the instrument used on countless hit recordings that Rick likes. I would love to know who bought it, or maybe Rick secretly bought it for himself. Markets are funny things. Music memorabilia is no exception.

I guess Bowie always rode his own wave.

I feel your frustration. I was in a band that decided to get into Muse covers. Bought a ton of extra doodadery and got nowhere before the band folded. The difference is I still have half of it ten years later.

That's the only one I can think of. It's very obvious once you have heard it. From memory it comes on the 'Wild' of the interlude, something like that anyway, a true nowhere to hide clanger.

The biggest gig I ever did was outdoors to that kind of 5 to 8k at a local festival. Big sound system, big monitors. We provided our own backline. My 210 got fully drowned out by the humungous monitor on the other side of the drummer, until we got them to turn it down. Interestingly it sounded just like me but 'over there and way too loud' so big props to the AKG P2 microphone.

Only works on stolen stuff if another TrackR user's phone app comes along and pings you.

Workmate has that. Nasty stuff. He's due to retire shortly and just had a third corrective surgery since it started taking over one pinky maybe 30 years ago. He lets it get pretty far gone and it's not really that great after this last one. I guess the scarring builds up.

The usual situation runs like this. One powerful amp. One cabinet. The rig only gets so loud before the amp overdrives the cab. At that point you are all out of headroom. If that's only just enough to be heard in a loud band it's not at all dynamic unless everyone respects that limit and adjusts themselves down. More usually the bass player adds another cabinet. Now if the amp is powerful enough to drive both cabinets to their limit you have the full +6dB experience in the low end. Going from zero headroom to 6dB of headroom is quite fun, especially if the band becomes responsive to bass dynamics.

A helmet with horns to complete the look.

This is flat out wrong. Never connect two amplifiers to one cabinet. I dunno what's up with that graphic. I have a Mesa tube amp with 8 ohm and 4 ohm outputs labelled like that. The 4 ohm ones are parallel to connect 4 ohm worth of two 8 ohm cabs. Dollars to donuts OP amp is a bog standard solid state MAG with parallel outputs. Connect two 8 ohm cabs however you fancy. 4 ohms job done. Egads what a mess.

It's perfectly fine to use two cables from your amp to two 8 ohm cabinets! Cabs put a load on the amplifier via cables. You are very confused in your questions.

For transparent aside from squished you can't beat the old Trace SMX pedal. One knob for the lows and one for the highs. If you get a wild hair on you can see-saw the EQ with the balance control, or leave it in the middle and it's transparent.
