Any real bassist could metal that if required. Funniest surprise I ever got was our guitard plugging his acoustic into his rage pedal and having at it. Pointy guitar redundant!

A high pass filter can give a lot more control over your low end when the flab is eliminated while bass knob is still free to boost or simply not cut.

Did you notice that the rhythm guitar lacked the corresponding swagger? Takes two to Tango.

If you got an 8 ohm cab a simple rule to have would be "1 in 1 out", in that order. That way there is always at least one cab connected and impedance is always in the range. No problem being interrupted mid process. Actually, not sure that works as the second jack is labelled extension with no switch. There could be internal switching on the jack itself so equally possible there is already self shorting on the main one, which would make it all a non issue. Schematic time.

I agree with Dad. It's a string spacing on the smaller side but made that way. Hard to tell from photos but my eyetrometer says 30" scale. Having jumped on a fretless Ubass at 22" and managed fine I say it don't much matter if you have ears. Either you are a fretlesser or you ain't.

Most people don't have the nerve to play the bass on the beat all on their lonesome against the syncopation but it makes the tune.

Your guitar player isn't playing SHA right. The bass bops along with many intricacies that only go with the corresponding rhythm guitar work.

Looks even cleaner than advertised. Score. Mind out you don't break it playing with two guitarists. It will get louder up to about 4, so long as you don't have too much low end in the EQ. Low EQ sliders are there for cutting not boosting. If you RTFM it should say something along those lines, much like my later model. Adding another cab will give you a fright if you jump right in at 4.

If you're going down that road you need to get routine that involves always having one or the other connected to the amp. Failure means you turn on and no sound comes out. If you keep playing trying to figure it out you will be frying your precious tube amp.

Has to be the process as it gets reported. You couldn't play that far ahead if you tried!

Singer has some good pipes to be banging that out at the end of the night.

Might be a parallel blend?

Pines for 300w valve head / worries about fan noise. Does not compute.

You need to be careful ordering birch that it is actual birch ply and not just veneer.

Not really true. Some folks list their stuff pickup only. If they sell it to someone who is prepared to risk shipping in a standard guitar export box then it's the buyer's lookout. Manufacturers ship in cheesy boxes because they can get away with it. The guitars go out in bulk so each protects the other and in any case the risk is limited to their cost of manufacturing and shipping. Merchants on sell in the same cheesy box because it's not worth the candle for them to repack and their cost is limited to their cost of supply. The cheesy box economy falls over at the used end and it is worth repacking.

I think a 110 is only going to work for a very quiet band. A 210 will work for a lot of UK bands that aren't hell raisingly loud just doing vocal PA. Unamped drums with guitarists that are onboard is the new world order. As for monitoring and going through the PA... all power to you if the 110 is pointed up to your ears, drummer can still get a feel, while it doesn't mess up FOH sound.

I would look sideways at any guitarist that brought 3 guitars to a GTKY jam. If you aren't taking any amplification I suppose a just in case fretless would be ok to carry in or leave in car.

The economics of shipping used cheap basses without a case points squarely at doing it differently next time. Taking the neck off and packing a much smaller box makes it cheaper shipping and very much harder to do any damage.

If we accept that Ampeg are selling us a bass cab and not a mid cab then I don't think it's wrong to infer SPL from sensitivity and power handling by assuming the xmax is available. When the assumption fails we get the accusation of spec fudging.

I guess we are really talking about whether or not Ampeg is telling us useless information in their table. It is not unreasonable to use their RMS number and sensitivity to derive SPL but it could be we are being lead to telling ourselves a lie. It used to be said that Ampeg were better than most with their RMS power handling numbers well related to actual bass guitar signals.

Probably just unhooked the blown driver.

That's down to your MIL and her bank. The average American over here was waving away before Covid. These days maybe 1 in 50 still has to sign.

Believing the claimed power handling from the table you get the "theoretical" max SPL very easily, is what Itu was getting at.

Good choice. Barefaced do their x10 cabs with one side doing only lows so don't suffer the beaming of highs and lumpy mids off axis.

Surely you should be encouraging those with a surfeit of luscious P basses to list one for your temporarily vaguely embarrassed mate to potentially acquire?
