    I haven't played any amp that didn't sound better for my HPF, and moreso with EUBs that seem to have prodigious lows. Generally speaking a HPF gives a far better tailoring to the low end because the bass EQ is free from needing cutting. You might find your bass knob winds up at 12 or even 1pm with a far more even tone than you could ever get without HPF.

    I would never take a new cab to a gig without testing it at gig level.

    It would be a case of suckitnsee. It might work or it might not. There was a YT of one from the forum on other side of the big pond. It was "keeping up" with a 212 iirc, but the only tonal option was very not clean. Ime also, 50 tube watts not enough welly. Sounded great at rehearsals but got lost. 200w is the sweet spot with a 215 if you ask me. A lot depends on what cab you intend to use. 3dB of sensitivity fully makes up for an extra 50 watts at the weenie end of the power range. And everyone plays with a loud guitarist and a louder drummer than nearly everyone else. Obviously there is wiggle room for a 50w'er in some bands.

    The only way that gets any better is someone pays you to rehearse at your house and brings the beers.

    Play through a tube amp that is cranked up.

    Markbass are known for oddball parallel fx loops so really luckily this one is an exception!

    Try the two together for giggles. Should have enough low end and might sound good enough for rehearsal purposes.

    Before doing anything else get a high pass filter on the case. That'll let you get a heap of 60hz on your low B without breaking it, by not having to cut bass on the EQ. Night and day difference with vintage gear ime.

    Boosting level flattens out our hearing relative deficit in the lows. See Fletcher Munson curves. An EQ pedal that you kick in for solos which has a level control will let you boost as subtle as you like. Or you could pluck harder closer to the bridge and that might be enough.

    Same as plywood has advantages over a plank, chiefly much more stable.

    Two reasons. Ducks float. Worms come to the surface to avoid drowning underground. Some get washed into streams making for good duck food.

    Must be highly 'progressive' metal if you can get away with a single 210 cab. The reprobate meatheads I am used to would point and laugh at the weenie bass amp.

    Pish!

    I have a bow which is a piece of junk. Add to that it is mind blowing counterintuitive when a clockwise shift gets you a lower string instead of a higher one, being the violinist from way back. I suppose I should bite the bullet and order a "cheap" carbon one.

    If making it big in Norway while singing in Maori is sign....Alien Weaponry. They went on a metal festival tour of Scandinavia and found the audiences singing back to them. Te internet for the win.

    Won't matter. The old Trace used XLR speaker cables which were specific because of the male and female connectors, but the 1/4 didn't actually matter.

    Fun fact. Titanic had a sister ship that sunk a UBoat by ramming it when it had to come up for air.

    It's to ready you for being on TV.

    Approximately 4dB worth would be missing in the push comes to shove condition if your cab could take it all. Dunno what the Mesa does into 8 ohm but peak probably enough to stretch it? Say it's the whole 600. 120 tube watts is 120w with extra harmonics relative to lows.

    Deadpool, except I think the avatar might be SpiderMan doing poncy moves.

    Post the pics anyway, some of us are locked up at home with a nasty virus, too weak to leave the couch, and too cheap to pay for Netfix so scouring photos of amp gizzards counts as entertainment.
  22. Downunderwonder
    I am sure the fine folk who worked out which cap remains you found will be equally dead against you doing any more than removing the cover to take a photo. If the cap location can't be seen DO NOT go removing anything from inside to get a better look!!!!!! We would rather you left that to the tech who is going to be much happier if you have left it alone.
  23. Downunderwonder
    Nobody else noticed your rattle report. You didn't come back and nobody bothered raising it again. So you're lucky I don't like being ignored!!! The foundation of forums like this one is folks giving free help and getting the satisfaction of problems being solved. Without the back and forth all you have is a forum full of "what's the best bass for.." threads and cat videos. You're welcome, happy to help. DUW.

    Again, newbie was talking about a 100w reactive loading DI for recording.
  25. Downunderwonder
    I think you might be talking about attenuating the hot DI out when newbie was considering a speaker substitute load, which could lead to a very wrong conclusion if he wasn't all that bright!
