Sorry, One 4 ohm cab = how many ohms?

It's an amp in the for sale thread. An Ashdown. If I can get the full whack from one cable I'll buy it, but I didn't want to influence anyone else buying just because it possibly doesn't do what I want.

It was done by @Cosmicrain of this parish, so I assume so.

Usage is the final arbiter, you'll all be saying it tomorrow! 😉

Not my amp. Yet...

But will the amp be giving the 'full' 500w? Or less watts at 8ohm?

The pic is my cab. Supposing I had 500w amp (minimum 4ohm load) which had 2, 8ohm speakon outputs. Could I connect both amp outputs to both cab inputs to get the 'full' 500w, or would something nasty happen?

I blame the Government!

If chicken fat was good enough for Jaco... 😜

Can't comment on the OP's choice, but just for a contrary opinion, I have a Puma 500 and it sounds lovely and warm.

For those of us who do not do the Twitter, could you provide some context please 🙂

Yesterday's afternoon gig, was at Choko Beerfest. The last of my dep gigs for The Soul Seniors. It was in a marquee at the back of a village hall in rural Oxfordshire. There was beer on sale, but it was more like a 'family fun day' what with all the kids running about. As it was a lovely day, most people we're in the sun outside the marquee, but they seemed to be listening as we were getting applause. I took minimal gear, bass setup was: Bass - wireless - pedal tuner - BDI21 - PA. It was a tinny bass sound from the monitors but it sounded good out front. Got back home to that London in daylight.

C Country Music Awards and not a Stetson in sight! 😉

I restrung mine B-E-A-D as I was playing in a Sadistic Darkwave band at the time (don't ask!). It handled the low B fine, just had to route the nut notch a tad.

His addictions in no way justify his behaviour.

IIRC there was a red passive USA Sub for sale here recently, last year, or the year before?

I bought one when they first came out. Or rather I ordered one, black and passive, and was sent a black and active. Back it went, and a few weeks later I was sent a red and passive. Back it went, then a couple of weeks later I finally received my black passive USA Sub. I posted about it on the Music Man forum, in a thread called 'The bass they didn't want me to have!'. This became the thread they did not want to show, because it was deleted. 3 times 😝 Anyway I really liked the bass, it sounded like a MM despite being passive, lovely neck, and wasn't too heavy. I only got rid because I play fingerstyle and the edge of the body was not contoured, and used to dig into my arm, eventually quite painfully by the end of a gig. With hindsight I should have just chamfered a tad off the corner where my arm rested.

I know he didn't actually sing it himself, but this is still a great song

Loving the zebra print troos! Takes me back ☺️

It matters because bad technique can lead to RSI and other injuries - muscle, wrist, tendons. Even back injuries.

@Merton I hope you're gonna bring this to the SE Bass Bash? 😁
