Anyone on here own an Aria Libra, basically a active p bass with an angled drop head stock. nearly bought one 25 years ago never seen one since

Welcome, It's a great addiction. Don't get too good or I'll have to kill you PM me any time. good luck

Wonder who owns my old one now ?? Great basses

Any nice Lag Basses in the area, i believe thats where they were hand made originally.

I use them for the above reasons you can have your tuner on top of your amp, and if the amp has a mute you can kill your speaker output and tune quiet. one less thing in your signal chain, or on the floor.

I'm with Mike, but assume you want a cab either side of the Drummer. Having made up my own I think the speakon can take 4mm cable max, so go for that, tin the ends with solder before screwing down. I also have a heavey duty PA extension cable I use on large stages, 4mm cores the rubber outer sheath is about 10 - 12mm dia, no probs with the sound there. getting a quality cable is the main aim. I used see through flat twin hi-fi cable from Richersounds on my bass cabs. Its oxygen free you can get all sizes and you can buy it by the metre.

I used half wounds for years realy liked them, Roto solo bass, then could not get them for ages, but Elite ground wounds sound very good if you can find them. very impressed wth the black tape wounds on my Rob Allen wish i had tried these on my old P bass years ago. will do a lot less damage than rounds but see which sound and feel best for you. a coated round set may be good halfway house

Just to come back to 51 on the VPF setting. have my MB manual out. max setting shows a cut at 350 Hz of about -18dB with a +7dB at 40Hz and +12dB at 10kHz. in fact everything below 100Hz is boosted and everything above 1kHz when this knob is at max. At 9 o'clock which you state and I also set mine most of the time is probably not going to cut more than -5dB at 350Hz but will also lift the fundimentals and top end a little So removing some troublesome mud and make the top end clearer. 9 O'clock is only about two segments off the start position these amps sit at 7 when off. Just want to check you are not saying 9 o'clock and thinking 9/10 =4 o'clock ??? I don't use it a lot but find the bass boost, and the cut you get with the VPF at 12 or 1 oclock for thumb slap work, works realy well
