Coil closest to the neck = front
Coil closest to the bridge = back.
There are a minority of weirdos who claim the bridge is the front but they should be secured in a treatment centre next to those who put pineapple on pizza.
I want that so much and I don't even know anything about it yet!
Well, they'll put a Delano pickup in it and I'll have to burn that in the garden and replace it with something good, but other than that...
If you have to add a dummy load then presumably that dummy load gets the total impedance back to 16ohms even with an 8Ohm cab?
Otherwise there would be no need for the dummy load at all.
I'm actually thinking about the guitar version of this. It's a fair bit cheaper and I've got no doubt it will do a fine clean tone. Afterall the early Fender amps that are now so popular for guitar started life as bass amps in many cases.
When I practice on headphones it's really for sight reading and jazz band practice stuff so I'm not really fussed about anything other than a bit of compression.
The Guitar model does say that the clean tones are suitable for bass or acoustic guitar too.
Then I've got something I can also use for guitar. I suspect the other way round won't be nearly as useful.
Well.... I have my Supertwin... but I've ordered a replacement One10 as well!
My old MB amp did sound quite different with each cab but I really liked it with both. I *think* I just preferred it with the Super Twin but it's a close run thing.
Thomann have them listed at £679 now - available in 2-3 weeks apparently.
I know I've recently sold my Marcus head but I am missing that Mark Bass sound!
I'll have to raise some more money at this rate - I've already spent the gains from the sale!
Just a thought as well - Sandberg will build the VS shape as a Superlight if you make a custom order.
I was looking at that myself a little while ago.
Superlight 5 strings in the TT style are usually under 8lb, and some get under 7.5lb.
I was going to say the Sandberg VS5 - available as 35 inch scale as an option and the specs say bridge spacing will go to 19.5mm
They are usually 22 fret but they are have recently built some 24 fret extended fingerboards for Doug Johns and they do offer some minor custom work.
Definitely worth an email!
