You still can rewire the cabinet itself to change the overall impedance.

And to add even more confusion to this, while speaker impedances are most often rated at 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or higher Ohms loads (or even lower than 1 Ohm, and even with decimals), their real impedance will vary between 6Ω and 32Ω for an individual speaker, whatever impedance is labelled on the speaker or the cabinet. A lower impedance cabinet or speaker than the tap output labelled impedance will, in the end, see the wire itself burn because of the heat generated or break because of the higher extension of the cone(s) blowing the output transformer (see @agedhorse explanation above). On the other hand, if speaker impedance is really too high, say 32 Ohms on a 2 Ohms tap, the amplifier's power may not drive the speaker at all, but who would do that... Maybe we can also talk about of the form of wave generated by the output stage when driven too hard to add even more complexity to what originally was a simple question...

Definitely right @dmccombe7 ! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Running an 8 Ohms cabinet on a 4 or 2 Ohms output won't damage anything, it's the opposite that will blow out the output transformer... So it's absolutely not a non compatible cabinet, but a totally compatible one. 😉

But not the second one in Germany...

There are two ATK 800 in Germany: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/ibanez-atk800-bass/2446215313-74-23511 https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/ibanez-atk800-wnf-premium-walnut-nur-ca-3-9kg-case-versand/2394701189-74-8 And one ATK 810 in Italy: https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_ibanez-atk-810-premium_id7113474.html?stkn=R5X2aV2N9JY67Dwg

Yes!

This is Japanese, not Chinese... And it's simply translated, not masquerading. So because you don't like the look of the official Luminlay website you don't go any further. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I've ordered several times from them, it's fast, reliable and easy, and if you don't want to buy fake Luminlay products, better go there and buy directly from them. That said @dmccombe7, you were right...

Otherwise, you can buy the real deal by Luminlay, it's not that expensive at all (I bought a few over the years that have gone with the basses when I sold them): https://meisterworks.myshopify.com/en-gb/collections/luminlay-for-top-position/products/luminlay-ll-1

Your smartphone torch will do the job. I have and have had Luminlay's on many basses. 😉

I didn't know that porn shops were selling instruments, I'll need to check... And who is Jeddy Lee: a character from Star Wars?

The dead spot on the D on the G string is typical from Fender basses, that's the reason of the enlarged headstock of the second version of the Precision Bass to fight this dead spot, which, by the way, is simply linked to the resonant frequency of the whole instruments. By enlarging or removing the headstock and shaping the body (which is what classical luthiers do when tuning the woods they use, that said, just proving by the absurd that an electric instrument is before all an acoustic instrument) you can get rid of this dead spot by moving it to a place where it's not annoying (it will still be here, but you won't hear it anymore). Changing the mass of the tuners (lighter or heavier) or the bridge (again lighter or heavier) could also help. You can try the Fatfinger, a patented system bought by Fender and now sold by them as a sustain enhancer... https://www.fender.com/en-GB/accessories/miscellaneous/fatfinger-guitar-sustain-enhancer/0992180100.html

There is your answer, from the Boss Katana Bass page...

To make it easier, I have my own signature basses. 🤔🤪

So, I'm the only one removing flats...

You mean the one I bought for peanuts just before lunch was yours ? You could have put some new strings on it...

I had the two of them.

No fan in both versions.

I've got the title for the live: Show me the way for going home.

Excellent!

Or the Lee Sklar variant: the Producer Switch. 😉

I've used an FRFR solution for some time, but wasn't that convinced by the tone I got, there was always missing something. It was a GSS FRFR 12+6 coupled to different pedal preamps : MarkBass Ground Stereo Pre (Alain Caron Signature), TrickFish Trilobite (twin Mike Pope Flexcore) or BassLab Step About (Greg Howard Signature). I have severe back problems with a full official and medical recognition of my condition. So, I ended up with a brand new generation GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon 800 Combo (800 Watts/4 Ohms or 450 Watts on its own with a 12 inches speaker + tweeter), weighting ... 8.2 kilos and for more power, if needed, I also bought the brand new generation GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon AT112+ (450 Watts/8 Ohms, same speaker configuration) weighting 6.3 kilos. When I received them by courier, I thought they forgot to put the combo and the cabinet in the boxes as it was so light... Now, it sounds the way I want.

Yep, the crazy knobs noodling guy, I know. 🤦🏻‍♂️
