I've been trying to get along to one of these for the last few years, but it's always clashed with something. Looked like it was going to be the same this year, but the gig I was due to playing at tomorrow afternoon is no longer happening so, silver lining and all that, I should be able to make it finally. I'll add my name to the list and hope that nothing untoward occurs in the next 12 hours or so!

Tape wound or flat wound strings will help - also think about the eq settings on your amp as well as on the bass ... and try and get out front & listen to it in the mix as well as close up (if & when you're gigging or rehearsing) - in my experience the further away you are the low end comes through more & you lose some of the top ... it'll never sound quite like a P, but I can get a sound from my Jazz which is close enough to a P for a live situation.

I was living in London a few years ago (Greenwich/Blackheath area, 2 minutes walk to the nearest station), playing in an acoustic jazz/blues trio (acoustic guitar, harmonica, vocals). We used to play regularly at the 12-Bar Club, so we'd get the train into Charing Cross & walk up to Denmark Street. We usually had a mid-set billing and last train back was after midnight it so all worked out fine ... ... except that the music went on till around 2 am and after a couple of beers we always wanted to stay & watch the other bands, so the taxi home invariably cost more than we'd actually earned from the gig (south of the river mate? this time of night? you're 'avin' a larf!) ... but we had a lot of fun, saw some fine bands, and spent considerably less than on a normal Saturday night out in the west end!

Yep - it's the 2x10 isobaric cab ... says so on the listing! I had to do a double take the first time I saw one myself. The drivers are mounted one behind the other in enclosed compartments ... apparently this arrangement gives extended bass response, although I haven't tried one myself

I've started getting rid of unnecessary cases. My basses hang on the wall or on stands when not in use, and I rarely take more than 2 out at a time for gigs ... so I've managed to clear out a lot of space under the beds! ... all I need to do now is find something to fill up all that space with ... hmmmm ...

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Just bought a Thunderfunk head from Mark. Great communication and rapid delivery - a very smooth transaction. Deal with confidence![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers.[/font][/color]

[quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1503008232' post='3355095'] Does the combined ohms rating not depend on whether they are in series or parallel as in series doubles, parallel halves? [/quote] Yes it does, but in practice multiple cabs connected to an amp will almost certainly be connected in parallel, as this is the way amps and cabs with more than one speaker connection are generally wired. A cab with multiple speakers may be wired in series or in parallel, but this will be reflected in the total impedance of the cab. So a 2 x 12 cab with two speakers of 8 ohms can be wired in parallel to give a total impedance of 4 ohms, or wired in series to give a total impedance of 16 ohms.

Just sold my JV Precision to Mark ... turns out he lives just down the road and we'll be playing at the same event at the weekend with our respective bands! Top bloke, thoroughly recommended
