Thanks very much all

I'm considering he following setup, anything I should be aware of...? P bass - > LeadFoot A/B/Y signal splitter ----> Fender Rumble 200 combo (v3, 1x15) with tone set flat ----> Fender Rumble 200 combo (v3, 1x15) with tone set for some drive ...plus (when needed) DI from the SansAmp to PA. Aim is for:[list=1] [*]portability, saving one on the head-cab-cab trip I make to the car now [*]flexibility, as I can just take one combo to practice [*]tonal mix, with the chance of mild drive through one combo and clean through the other [/list] I prefer this over a single combo and ext cab because I'm assuming that the two combos will struggle less at volume, because it's not a very powerful head, and also it allows (3) above. Any thoughts appreciated! Cheers.

[b]Description[/b]: Here is a demo of the Game Changer in action: basically plug the bass into your PC/Mac via USB, and configure the pickups how you want! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDdjp_g7Rzc"]https://www.youtube....h?v=fDdjp_g7Rzc[/url] Here's text borrowed from the original listing, with Musicman20's permission : [quote] Weight - Website states around 8 lbs 14 oz. I've tried weighing it a few ways/few times with Wii Fit and kitchen scales. See pic below - 4136g - 9.1 lbs. Approx. between 8.5 and just over 9 lbs (9.1) depending on position on scales and how it was held. Balance - Perfect balance. I tried a few different strap positions, and with a normal EB strap without padding or 'stickiness' to stop instruments moving, it is perfectly balanced. This ir probably due to the smaller headstock and new Musicman lightweight tuners (noted below). The 25th Anniversary Bass, before the Reflex came out, did not have these new tuners (although they had a certain model different from a Stingray) and I believe there was talk of neck dive. Not so with this new model. Spot on, comfortable, balanced, usual EBMM perfection when it comes to ergonomics. It's a thick gloss black with stunning cream binding. Perfect quality control, perfect neck to body match up, dark rosewood board, new Musicman tuners (now on the Bongo/Big Al/Reflex and this model). Matching gloss black headstock. Gamechanger logo on the rear, additional inputs for Midi and the USB cable. The world is your oyster with this bass! Perfect balance and lighter than most Stingray's I've played. It's a nice low-mid weight, no scales to weigh at the moment though, sorry. HH Pickups – The same as the Reflex 4 HH. One of the best Stingray bridge tones I've ever heard. That, and a boatload of other tones. You can get anything out of it. 4 band active EQ, or completely passive settings with passive tone control. The bridge pup IS in the Stingray sweet spot. The mahogany tone block really does add a certain something. The passive tones are what really surprised me…very balanced, good balance between active/passive switching, etc. They have really gone to town with the sound of the bass. Setup – Low actions, very very fast neck. See the specs for the neck/nut sizes etc. It feels faster than a Stingray to me. Gamechanger - USB – I've updated the bass to the latest version. Basically you go to the Gamechanger site above, go to the Web App, plug in, and then you change all of your pickup settings. You can save them, experiment with them, change the Z Bank settings, download other user settings, etc. With some kit you can also do this via Bluetooth or connected to an iPad/iPhone as they have an iOS App now. You can do this once every now and then, mid gig, or never! Up to you. Stock, it has about 25 already preset amazing tones. ALL ANALOG. NO DIGITAL EMULATION. All pups can be activated (basically 4 coils) in whatever settings you want, in any order, in phase, out of phase, series/parallel. Anything from modern Stingray zing, to a warm fat Gibson/Fender neck tone. Flick of the switch, it changes. Midi – MANY possibilities to control many different things! Check the website for information. Without the Gamechanger, this bass has all the passive presets, all the active presets (on the 5 way switch) plus the Z Bank which can be set to anything you want. The Z bank is currently Musicman's idea of great passve tones. It is incredibly easy to use this bass. Not complicated, and very fun for a tweaker who likes to play with tones.

I may be an idiot... but is under-powering a load of ballcocks?
Kevsy71 replied to Magic Matt's topic in Amps and Cabs
A question possibly related to this: I have a Genz Benz Shuttlemax 12.2, which incorporates two power amps with a separate output for each: [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Power Output - 375W/8 ohm x 2, 600W/4 ohm x 2[/size][/font][/color] [size=4][font="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"][color="#000000"]I run this into two Baer ML112s (8 Ohm each). Will there be any difference if I connect one Baer to each power amp output, and hence use both power amps at 8 Ohms each, versus daisy chaining the Baers and presenting 4 Ohms to one of the power amps, i.e. just using one power amp? And if so is one approach recommended over the other? [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][/size] [size=4][font="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"][color="#000000"]Cheers! [/color][/font][/size] -

I like a simple line as it gives me a break from staring in fixed terror at the fretboard for the more complex lines! "Gimme all your lovin'" is a particular favourite, 3 note progression but drives the song and gives me a chance to shake the ol' booty and yell backing vox.

Ash bought a Sandberg P 4 from me - would not hesitate to buy or sell from him, rock solid chap!

150+ beers, plus rock, rhythym n' blues from Expändables at 6pm on Saturday. Say hi if you come!

Thanks for the advice Phil Starr - if we were to run off a single socket is something like a Furman 10-connection strip considering? I'd rather that than daisy-chaining power strips: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/furman_m10x_e.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/furman_m10x_e.htm[/url]

Good luck HappyJack! I'm only now learning how to handle beer festivals....not the crowd, not the nerves, but rather restraining myself from sampling the wares before playing!

Thanks everyone for the great advice - much appreciated! Cheers Kev

Yep, the socket ring to the pub went three times - I didn't get a chance to get the details from the landlord but can only assume we tripped the fuse. We were daisy chaining adapter boards - power amp and mixer of one wall socket, bass stack and 12v PSU, guitar stack and effects, two powered monitors off another. Any advice on ways to minimise the chance of this happening in future...? Cheers Kev
