Mr Fudge Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I've done it and bought the SA450 from bass merchant. Next .... the speakon cable to jack from head to cab I assume doesn't come with amp. I have never used one of these leads, do they have a name? can you recommend a make? Also after spending £500 I am a bit reluctant to put it in a bag. I have never had rack mounted amps before. I realise the I need the "ears". Any advice or recommendations on rack mounting. Cheers. I have found some of the advice and help invaluable on here, keep up the good work.

King Tut Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hi. You can use either a speakon or a normal jack cable with these - it's a clever 'dual' type of socket. My SA450 came with rack ears included - although I'm not sure if it was supposed to. I keep mine in a maplins type aluminium box. Fits very snug!

Alpha-Dave Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 For the cable ask OBBM naturally. I have 3 of his speaker leads and they are by far the best. As for racking, there are a variety of options from soft bags, to ABS plastic cases to wooden/ply cases with foam linings. These increase in protection, weight and cost in that order (I opt for ABS plastic for my Hartke). The best thing about a rack head for me is to have a 1U tuner above the head, one of the best bass-buys I've ever bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_ferret Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Surely the bass merchant took the opportunity to sell you a bag and ears and leads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fudge Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 The amp was all I added to my cart. Are ears standard? anticipates spock joke whilst excited about spocks beard on monday. The words F****N YES! spring to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to check out the latest addition to my family, Marcus .... If you leave it any longer you might have a non bass addition to check out as well.
