I would say desperate to be not wrong and too stupid to realise he's about to lose a customer if he doesn't admit the wrong doing.

Mathematically it is easily observable. Power is proportional with voltage². The voltage average increases with distortion while the peaks are clipped. Hence the lower average same peak voltage undistorted signal plotted over time has less power. If solid state and valve amps have the same clean RMS rating there won't be any difference in loudness until the valve amp is cranked past its clean rating. Cranked tubes usually sound nice with high levels of distortion while cranked transistors often struggle. Some famous SS amps have done a good job of overdriven tones. Some even do it in the power stage. So it's not a perfect rule but safe to say a lot of extra clever electronics is between the bass preamp and the final output when an overdriven solid state amp doesn't sound like derrière, but you could get a useful tone out of your grandma's old tube gramophone amp.

Kala (Electric)UkeBass is not an EUB.

....12 hours on....that good huh?!

Is it an EUB with preamp or straight piezo?

Depends on the exact nature of the Darkglass drive. If digging in hard can get it to do it a little and it compresses but generally stays clean then you could find clean boost works ok for you albeit with loss of headroom, which could be no bad thing.

Ordinarily, for a 210, sure, but the one in the photo is a Barefaced with one woofer low passed. For a personal monitor I doubt it matters. The bigger problem might be the forward kick off the wall increasing.

'Walk shorts' were the fashion here in the 70's into the 80's. Tailored shorts almost to the knees, accompanied by football length calf covering dress 'walk socks', and dress shoes. Go figure.

You could always turn the cab up tall.

Here was me thinking my jazz band plays legit written down scores to packed halls, we must be doing something wrong.

Mesa had a long survey and think and found a rich vein of sales in the improved 800+. They charge a pretty penny for it too. One would hope they weren't all about fashion when they did it. In my case my HPF lives on my board. Very handy for showing up to unknown backline provided gigs and instantly having the best 5 string tones available instead of what I can cobble up from the EQ.

You will be lucky to find one, what with Mesa abandoning Europe until component supply chain issues resolve. I watch the classifieds here for entertainment and don't recall any 800+ for sale. You could try your luck with a Wanted advert. If set on the general tone you could get the Subway pedal and a Vong HPF/LPF to go into a Quilter bass block or any other neutral power stage micro amp that works from the fx return.

You are correct for the most part but Fender/Squier have made the odd booboo tagging things that patently aren't P basses as such.

There's no versus. Readers hang with non readers all the time. Some readers can't. So what? For a little while I was a non bass reader hanging with readers. I could snatch the gist of it off the dots and jam the rest. The main advantage I had was being able to follow the score for the repeats and codas.

None of which has any bearing on a guitarist showing up winging it badly at rehearsal when the YouTube version was emailed weeks back.

Shows and functions and the odd what cover's next?...1234 jam.

So many non reading strawmen playing covers. I learned to read music from age 8. I didn't learn to read bass clef until age 42. In between I played a lot of rock and pop covers and then improvised inprovising jazz before needing to read bass to keep up.

The Sansamp Deluxe models are very good for your purposes. Fx loop is switchable in and out and programmable in and out as well. There are two banks of three patches. This gives options for preselection of multiple fx as well as a preselected Sansamp Drive and Level and or eq tweak adjustment, all with single stomp. It is vitally important that your final output level stays relatively consistent within your normal dynamic range. Don't be the the guy stomping all over the mix when you kick on a distortion. It's very easy to get wrong but takes a lot of tweaking to get right.

Normally it would be a cold day in hell before I would give a like to a giant wall of text with no paragraphs.

What about print adverts and posters?

The signal coming out of the fx send is all set to make the power stage go big boomboom. It's a much higher voltage than most floor pedals are designed operate on as they expect only as much as a battery powered guitar pickup or another pedal is chucking their way.

Some of us have access to free double corrugate cardboard boxes as well. If you have a recycling centre you can intercept the case off a broken obsolete electrical doofer, eg CD player, DVD, VCR, decoder. Plenty of material from which to fashion a Z.

Then you have missed your true calling.

Correct.

I read it the same way. Without the saddle lowering qualification more relief = more string height.
