I have a stageclix and Ive always liked it. no drop outs, no change in tone, very sturdy and well built. Built in battery charger for the lipo battery and quite quick charging..

But it it went wrong. I had to send it back to amsterdam. it took ages and ages to get a quote for almost as much as a new one. So great when it worked but not so good if it goes wrong.

Love the backdrop

Mesa D800 and Phil Jones 8B plus 2 c4 lightweights.

Light loud and sounds great. Everything more or less flat

In preperation for a dep gig last night.

That post is a very interesting read. However, to take the positives from this:

1. Many people will have learned a great deal Re PA and mixers by following the thread.

2. What a fabulous bunch of people on BC ready and willing to share advice freely.

Thanks to all who contributed.

My SB2 is shod with thomastic. I tried my newly aquired SB1 with flats that were on the bass and in the end changed to rounds. Theres soomething nicely aggressive about the sound with rounds.

PMD

nice Ped. Just changed mine from flats [guessing rotos] to dadario rounds to see what its like. I have one P on rounds, two on jazz flats and one on trubass. Love em all.

are they period correct knobs? The ones on mine look like they came off a radio

My early SB1 is in the post still... might be here by the weekend, probably not!!

You found one then

Hot covers make great covers. Ive used them for ages.

I kow the guitards who have them and they really love them. I had no idea they were so expensive.

If you can, put at least two labels on the outer packaging. Sellotape them on .Write or stick a small label the words "Sender"  then your house number and post code on the parcel. Put other labels on or in the inner packaging. Include one that gives your sender setails if its not printed on the label. A lot of parcels get lost just because the address label gets lost or damaged.

The easier you make it for the courier to identify your parcel the more likely it will get delivered. 

Courier wages are poor, make sure your parcel is as handling friendly as possible.  Expose handles etc. Put yourself in the position of the driver and make it as easy as possible for him to handle your parcel. hopefully it reduces the risk of him chucking your parcel over the fence.

The reason I posed the question in the first place is I have effectively the same cab set up as you have [total load 2 ohm impedance] but havent run it with the the phil jones D400 because the spec on the amp says 4ohms minimum.

The best bet for you is to phone whoever is the markbass distributor and ask them what would happen if you connected your amp to a 2 ohm load.

Then you would have hopefully the definitive answer

I'm not great with the wattage/ohm equation. Does daisy-chaining two 8B 4 Ohm cabs then present half that load to the amp? With potentially a 2 Ohm resistance would I be right in saying that the cabs are then much more vulnerable to damage as with half the ohmage it essentially doubles the recieved wattage into the speakers? With each cab being 400w and the head being 600w would it then stand to reason that I could in theory push the 600w to say 2/3 power (say 400w equiviance) based on the 2 ohm resistance effectively halving the joint cab wattage to a combined 400w instead of 800w? So really, I suppose the question is, am I safe enough with running the Markbass at no more that 2/3 volume into both these cabs if they present a joint load of 2 ohm? Techy stuff!

If you connect 2 x 4 ohm cabs up, you will get a total impedance of 2 ohms. This wont affect the speakers, but could well potentially damage the amp, depending on the spec of the amp.

MarkBass Multiamp Mono.

Ta

I have an 8b and 2 C4s and i was considering how to use them all at once

so you are presenting 2 ohms to the amp. what model is that Im not familiar with the mb range

thanks

Home rig:

 

Gig rig:

Im not sure if those are 6bs or 8bs, which would give you an imppedance of 3 ohms or 2 ohms depending Does the amp deal with those ok?

i miss mine😪

Great Voice.

Every pro needs a p bass

sorted

Now Mine, very pleased thank you

I have one of these and they are great basses. For 200 euros thats a great deal

Enjoy it

Just stating facts, s'all.
And I can't remember what I had for breakfast last Sunday, so four and a half years... 

 

Have I had breakfast today?

I have a 64 precision that I have had since 69. I wouldnt part with it because its been with me so long, its like part of the family and its like putting on an old comfortable pair of shoes. I have a 64 reissue CIJ that Im not sure I could tell apart blindfolded.

If I lost it and wanted a replacement I would either plump for a USA lakland or if I could get one with the right neck profile a G&L SB1 or SB2

Back in the day we had 2 marshall 4x12 columns. We had a roadie called vern who would carry them up stairs one in each hand.
