You could end run it by putting another DI in the fx loop. That will come before the Master volume.

Put a duvet over it and turn it to face the wall.

Chart for a pub cover band means chords over lyrics and a V/C/V/C/B/SolooverV/C/C "arrangement", not dots. If they can't wing it over that then they aren't worth the 80 quid, next!

13A mains cable is way more than required. You could run a space heater at 5m on it. Your biggest hassle is going to he soldering the big wire onto your plugs, and hoping the strain relief holds.

This. The only thing harder to replace than guitarists and drummers is a proper singer.

If there is any chance they could have non original drivers or they don't say they are 8ohm you should probably check. That's a lot harder with speakons. You would have to find your preferred way of getting a multimeter on the driver to measure DCR. Should be in the 5 to 6 ohm range for an 8 ohm cab. Impedance goes up when it is working to push air.

If they are 4 ohm cabs it is a no go unless your amp is a rare breed of 2 ohm capable kind. Unlikely. 2 x 8 ohm cabs should always be fine. Once in a blue moon a cable or socket can be miswired. That can really mess with you mind. You would hear it as a dropout of most of the low end.

X2 and you are looking at the Barefaced of the day but half as loud, except with your amp it would have been twice as loud.

You could play on a dropped ADGC set which would be GCFB. Octaver that and call it Megazzo Bass.

2kW in reality heats my lounge. That's reality. Nobody needs a real 2kW. My real 250W amp with 4 ohm of cabs keeps up with enthusiastic drummers no problem.

More power through more speakers = big win, with the caveat that results can be messy. There may be be 2 to 3dB extra worth of amp power. What happens to that power depends how similarly the cabinets react. Try to find the cab that Markbass sold as the extension for the combo. Otherwise all bets are off and you should try before you buy. A good match will get you another 3dB of loudness. +5dB is a good bump to keep up your sleeve for when you need it. If you need it just to keep up you should really be shopping for a bigger rig. An 8 ohm 212 under it would really surprise but you could put a bigger amp on it by itself and get louder again.

Good job. If I am ever over that way I will pop by. Is that a lightning rod extension to the mic?

It takes a special 15 to be heard off axis. Most are functionally deficient in the off axis department.

They might be irrelevant to you. They could be irrelevant to all if you are playing very quietly through your stage rig. That would require excellent monitors for everyone else and a PA doing the job out front. For the average pub band with a vocal only PA the technicalities are VERY relevant to bandmates and audience.

Who is this Panda that makes 3 string P basses? I want one! Even if does use a 4 string bridge.

Name one country that went down that road that isn't run by fascist dictators today.

If you sign up for updates they are ask for your amp model, not what "valves" you are wanting.

^ An AI telling you how to avoid being confused with a Muppet.

AH150 covers a lot of ground. I think the SMC stuff is slightly less old? Either way the extra cab should come in handy. It will really wake up the combo assuming all is original.

Either an AI special or what appears to be pins inserted into the body laying back at an angle, catching the end bobble things.

It's a cup of coffee [beans]. Nobody ever accused AI of being smart.

Safer than motorcycles.

Wanting to be louder and then not be louder still when you slap is not possible without 'compression' of some kind. You could modify your technique to bring up your regular volume and slap more gently. Good luck with that. You could find a compressor that catches transients while not destroying tone. You could find a tube amp with just the right natural compression at the volume you want. Good luck with that.

You want compression that sounds like you want it to sound. You can either disappear down the compression rabbit hole or learn to do it with your fingers. At low volume your slap sounds are less bassy to the ear (Fletcher Munson). The extra HF in the slap is welcomed. Everything is coming out uncompressed. Life is good. The slapped bass overdriving the preamp is your problem? You turn down the input gain and turn up the loud knob. What happens then? Turn down some of the bass EQ!

If I had a dollar for every time an interrupt jack socket was corroded.....
