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.

Yes. Clickbait is by definition a title designed to draw views with false or tenuous indication of the actual content. In contrast, he has a genuine grievance and if it serves to inform consumers, or even get Fender Corp to put it right, it's no bad thing.

The other consideration is the sensitivity, aka dB per watt. For twin cabs wired parallel you add 6dB to the quoted sensitivity spec, hoping like hell it is honestly applying to the 70 to 140hz octave. Then you add 3dB for each doubling of 1w they can handle before power compression kicks in. 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128...256 is stretching a little but what the heck, 8x. Add 24+6 = +30dB to the number Orange gives for 1 cab. Might pay to do some research on their veracity. The Barefaced 12'' driver isn't so sensitive but eats up wattage. I believe they claim 97dB honest broadband sensitivity and 512W isn't a big stretch when rated to 600W. 97 plus 27 is 124dB. Barefaced come to 127dB so they are not allowing for power compression and even cribbing some extra mathematically speaking when they call it 800w in the Big Baby. Tbf they do call it Max ~dB which I guess it could do in a thump without breaking. Super Twin is a smaller cab minus HF driver and gets 133dB ~ max output with 1200w so maybe ~130 with the Terror giving its all.

Google fails me.

If you were being called out to unblock drains you'd probably want all of the band's pay and a bit more.

I think if you put a big twin under it the aesthetic would be the last thing on your mind. You could always demo one and then special order a new one in Orange orange.

Not having any luck searching DiMille patent 1925. Anyone know what that's about?

Depends on the 8'' drivers though. While the TC ones are likely wildly overrated per the TC playbook a pair of Trace Elf 2x8 is reviewed as happy with 500w and more. Expensive Faital drivers make them pretty boutique buying.

Depends what you mean by headroom. I doubt there is anything special about the 12 in those cabs. Two should get very loud and run out of puff somewhere around the same time as the amp. Trouble comes if there's enough poke left in the amp to hurt the cabs. No way of telling except to try but I expect if you dialed in a bit of low end boost and no HPF you could fart the cabs.

What this thread needs is a directory. Youse jokers should have a better idea than me of how to divvy up the UK so recommended techs can be found in a search of the driveable regions from the unfortunate with the smoked amp. County by County? Police Districts? That would be a lot more useful than a whole lot of plaintive cries for help from every corner that mostly remain unanswered.

When I got the secret sauce right all of a sudden I began to get compliments on my tone left and right. This having played bass for 20 years.
