I suspect you'll need XLR-XLR leads and a pair of active tops.

It would have to be a very custom version to use it in the One10. Two inches smaller diameter for a start. I had a One10. Sold it as it sounded rather rough at the volume I was using it, which wasn't full-on rock band loud by any stretch of the imagination, the "drummer" was playing a very lightly miced up cajon and unmiced bongoes.

I've got the AT Cube 800 - as I haven't got an extension cab, it's putting out a maximum of 500W. As I've go a wireless system, one day I may put the amp in the kitchen and go upstairs and see what it's like at full whack. Very clean and well balanced sound.

Today's method: Go round all the T-nuts which are in place, checking that they thread up properly (one didn't, so I knocked it out) Replace the T-nut with another that I checked would thread from the correct end, using a bolt and penny washer to pull it into place Put epoxy on face of T-nut that goes onto back of baffle Used lightly oiled bolt and penny washer to pull T-nut into place, and left for a little while Put speaker in and didn't c0ck up putting in the bolts this time Just the grille to secure then.

Who's finally happy with their rig?
tauzero replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
I'm happy - GR Bass AT800 combo, HX Stomp, assorted basses, and a Tecamp Puma 900 plus Basschat house jam micro cab for open mics. -
Some people find them useful, some don't. I have quite a few basses, only one of which had a ramp on, and on balance I preferred it without. As the ramp was simply wedged between the pickups, it could be removed and replaced non-destructively. I don't think that the use or absence of a ramp is indicative of the skill level of the player.

The hole's already the right size, there's just a groove round it where the teeth of the T-nut go. I was inclined to go with gluing the T-nut in place as @stevie says, if I put the araldite on the wood-facing surface of the T-nut (after making sure that it's got a good thread), put a little 3-in-1 onto the bolt thread in case of accidents, and pull it into place with bolt and washer, that should do the job.

I have a B2AV with Hohner-branded jazz pickups, which I assume is the Mk II. Before that I had a B2V, passive with those pickups, which sounded rather thinner than the B2AV. I had to replace the active preamp in the B2AV as it wasn't working well, can't remember what I used - I think it may have been a Delano Sonar.

But some people like them, just like some misguided people actually like headstocks.

That's a bit sad, I remember meeting it at a Moffat bass bash.

Yes, I wonder if they'll do a 5er. I was searching for Sqoe headlesses and happened across a webpage about headlesses which was obviously written by an imbecile. If you want a laugh (Fender being a leading manufacturer of headless basses, headless basses having short string length, headless basses mostly being cricket bats, and many other examples of complete ignorance) have a look at https://www.bassox.com/headless-bass-guitars/

Cracking amps. I kept mine when I sold the BB2 and went to a combo, and it's getting used with a BC house jam microcab 6" cab now. I thought mine might have got hot and shut down (I was wrong, it was the 4x10 cab I had at the time blowing a speaker or two) and Thomas Eich helped me with fitting a small fan inside which the later Puma 900s have. I don't think it was necessary, as it turns out.

Having finally restored my morale sufficiently to attack the bolt with a Dremel (it succumbed quickly enough once I decided to not be a wuss and whack the thing up to full speed), and refinished the back where I put the corner protector screw holes in the wrong place, I now have the task of putting the speaker in again. I think one other T-nut didn't want to thread up properly so I shall check them all. This does leave me with the problem of the knackered one, as my endeavours to extract the bolt have basically cut a moat around the hole so I'm not sure that there's anything for a replacement T-nut to bite on at the moment. Would Araldite, the goddess of mending things, work? And if so, smear it over and into the moat and let it cure before putting the T-nut in, or fix the T-nut in place using it?

It seems a lot of work to go to to rescue a body, especially if it's plywood.

Do I sense a "name the cab and get a free one" competition in the offing? 😁

You have to spend £300 on effects pedals for tonight's gig…

So, rather than my real life situation, in this fantasy world I'd opt for a Lekato wireless and an MS-60B, the same as I have in my little bag, as I've got less than an hour and I've got to knock up a suitable patch without the benefit of ToneLib on the PC. -
What are the fretboard extensions above the zero fret for? Bendwell? I've got an EHB1265MS which I haven't put the ramp on, and I've now taken the ramp off my Sei Flamboyant - it didn't seem to be of any benefit to me.

That's all very well for you young people, if I had to try to pick up a plectrum from the floor I'd never manage to get up again.
