I am planning to play out through my mixing desk ...my question was are the lp-6 monitors man enough to cope with a bass guitar as a replacement for say the double four? ...if I do get the double four I would still take the di from it into the desk, I personally can’t see a huge advantage to ever miking the speaker for bass. just seems like the double four is essentially a small bookshelf monitor ...so why duplicate?

Encouraging ....

I was kicking around the idea of something like a pjb double four to do my garage studio practice/recording sessions because my ancient near field book shelf monitors on my recording setup were not handling the low b ....but suddenly it dawned on me that I should just invest in better active monitors!! so could these kali 6 monitors do what the double four does? ...I have a sansamp that could warm it up but what I am looking for is a low volume punchy bouncy bass setup that would essentially be my recording sound as well??

For some odd reason sir John Harvey Jones and Morgan cars keeps flashing across my mind whenever I look at this thread...go figure.

it makes you wonder how other companies manage to turn any kind of profit at all?

So presumably if the bass is natively set up for bead then other than a slight truss rod adjustment it should be a straight swap on a lighter string set to go to eadg? ps ...just noticed that status use a zero fret ...so i guess thinner strings shouldn't really be an issue in this case.

Is it possible to experiment with various string gauges on a status headless bass or are you constricted by some form of nut slot size? I was hoping a status headless bass might be a good platform in which to easily swap between bead and eadg string sets without having to get any work done on the nut. So is this the case or is there more to it than that assuming the bass would be initially set up for the wider gauge bead tuning? Thanks.

6950??.... I wonder what the profit margin is? it would be good to see the company futureproof itself by delegating to a larger workforce and bringing the prices down a bit. But having read this I'm just glad i managed to pick up a 1990 markii a few years ago. Stupidly i sold my first wal for a few hundred quid in the late 90s because I needed the space thinking I will just pick up another later on since they are obviously not worth much, boy did I get that one wrong.
