Someone has used an XLR connector between the amp anf the cab, or an output to DI-box, or a parallel output.

This is very easy. If your pedal needs 1200 mA (1.2 A), 500 mA is not enough. Far from it.

Take a look at the wires. One wire goes to the upper element. Then another goes downwards to the lower element. The third wire goes back to the amp. This is called series. You sum the ohms together (8 + 8 = 16 ohms). Very easy. Now, the speaker can handle up to 300 + 300 watts. So you have two similar speakers, but one amp. Your amp probably has two 8 ohm outputs. When two sixteen ohm speakers (the complete boxes with elements inside) are put to the single output (with two parallel sockets), they are parallel from the amp point of view. So the amp sees one 8 ohm impedance (1/(1/16 + 1/16) = 1/(2/16) = 16/2 = 8 ohms) and you can push up to 4 x 300 watts of power to the system. Enough? Clear? It is quite common, that a transistor based power amp is not so accurate with impedances, especially big ones (>4 ohms). Most of them do not even need the cab. Valve/tube power amps tend to like some load in their outputs, so it is better to have a 5 inch nail in the output than nothing at all. These are just basics, and there are many exceptions, so always keep a load in your amp's output, if you even think about connecting the unit to the 230 volt line. And use quality cables.

Anyone interested in double neck, this is the thing. I used to have the previous model. The string spacing is not for me but if fretless solos are of interest, or you just want to bring a single instrument to a gig, look no further. Mine was a quality one and this price is a steal. Compared to my white one, this looks far better. Good luck for the seller and congrats for the buyer. These will probably be rare in the near future.

I sent him a list of my effects measured with an Agilent DMM. The numbers have not appeared in his pages. Has he retired?

I have to say that blond fingerboards are usually not nice, but this is unlined (has to be rare!) and looks really kool!

By the way, there is one EMG in my closet, too...

Welcome sir, I think that changing the last letter (you don't have to ask, how I knew), you should ask @ped If you are in need of a neck, there may be a chance to discuss about one, the tinted one. Do not make screw holes for the neck, yet...

Tammi Terrell, Minnie Riperton, Patsy Cline, Dana Dawson, Laura Branigan, Amy Winehouse... too early gone just like Whitney. Too bad. But that's life. I know, you were thinking of F. Sinatra, but this late singer had The Voice. So ladies and genitals: A. Franklin! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XESo86WgOrE

Could the header have been: "Old Fender lineup"? I may be repeating myself, but a different colour in Jazz is nothing new, isn't it? So if they would do something novel, what it might be?

Tony Levin and Jerry Marotta in Peter Gabriel's Big time. Levin developed Marotta's drum sticks to funk fingers. If there are too many strings, Atlansia has Solitaire bass.

I find fretless and fretted two very different instruments. And I do love both. I play fretless less, like using fewer notes. It sings in a different way.

I wrote about my Quantum 5 earlier. As she has left the building, I have now a MG Genesis 5. It is somewhat big and heavy, but the neck! Thick but not overly, and 19 mm at last! This is my thing. 34, 35 or 36" but 19 mm at the bridge end.

4-string fretted: Vigier Passion II, 1988 5-string fretted: Modulus Graphite Genesis, 1999 4-string fretless: custom hi-Z NT made by K. Ukkonen, 2016 eub: Clevinger 5, 1990 something Playability should be far better if I would even consider changing any of these. Fretless and eub are not for sale at all.

Open the back plate (if there is one) and spray some contact cleaner to the switch. Then B - N - B - N - B - N... until the switch works well again.

I am the tallest and ugliest guy in the band, so my instrument is naturally - bass. What's the difference between a double bass and a coffin? Corps is inside the coffin. (I know it was an old one, but I haven't heard any new ones in a decade or so.)

Every material gives matter to the air at the atomic level in nearly all temperatures. Like was the problem with 1 kg standard weight (in Paris, n'est-ce pas?). Sure, all amounts do mean a lot with a material like lead. A small fan is just so comfortable with any fumes, be it resin/rosin or metals.

Flat response is possible. The drawback is, that the sensitivity will be reduced quite some. Passive X-over can cut frequency peaks = less noise, so you get a PA (i.e. bass) speaker that is not that loud. An amp is very easy to make flat. A speaker is far harder but doable. In these days of light and big D-class wattage it would be just fine to drive a speaker that is not so sensitive, to make it still sound pretty loud.

**SOLD** Pedulla ET5 Cocobola 5 String Bass - PRICE DROP £̶1̶7̶0̶0̶ £1500
itu replied to basslee's topic in Basses For Sale
As someone said earlier, these days you need to pay relatively much to buy a basic instrument (like jazz) but you can get a high end instruments like this incredible Pedulla for a very decent price. I wish she finds a caring home soon. Yes, the specs and the looks are tempting, but I just got something else with 5 strings and 19 mm spacing. A long-term dream come true. She sings for me.
