Also. . . . it's fine running cabs that are not matched watts-wise, [u]as long as you are running within the range of the least powerfully rated cab. [/u] So, if you're running a 210 and 410 both 8 ohm, you have to ensure the power you're running your amp at to be within the range of the 210 cab. Then rather than the 210 working twice as hard the 410 will be working half as hard as it could and no damage will arise. If you want to permanently run 2 cabs then I'd match them properly but for occasional use just consider the weakest link and you'll be fine.

I don't know what MBE is. I have always bank transferred from my bank. I then use Interparcel and usually choose UPS.

I haven't been in a band that has advertised for a member since I joined through a Melody Maker ad in 1985. This is the difference between the fun bands and the guys who are more serious. Every band I've been in already had a short list when a vacancy cropped up. Blue is right. The jobs worth having are usually by invitation only.

3" castors won't de-couple the cabs from the floor. 3 feet might but 3" will be OK. I have both dolly boards and folding aluminium trolleys and I'd use the trolley every time. Mine always worked well with various 12's combinations.

Fender Bassman 410 combo's have been used by guitarists for many years.

Good move.

[quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1508761481' post='3394196'] I just don't see the point. It's creating a solution for a need that doesn't exist [/quote] Isn't that what the Internet is there for?

I use a Tonehammer amp into my BF cabs and it works really well.

I know. It seems I have P bass fingers!!

As was pointed out the new amp is 650w at 4 ohm, not 8 ohm.

The term has been co-opted by many others but to me [i]a gig[/i] is a performance to an audience.

Your MAS45 is the 4x5" Mike Arnopol cab? And it's farting out with 250 watts at 8 ohm? That doesn't sound right. This cab should be able to handle 250 watts. On the MAS website, this cab looks like it's used in conjunction with a sub. Maybe it is struggling to handle the big lows that a DB can push out. I'd definitely try it with your HPF. Do you get this problem with the other amps in your sig?

[quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1508577675' post='3393012'] Why don't my beloved Sunbeams work on the Sterling? I feel let down...... [/quote] Depends how good your ear is and if you can tell the difference. I've just bought a serious upgrade to my amp of many years and I'm loving it with my 10's but not my 12 's cabs. Why? It's definitely a better amp but, for me, the sound doesn't work as well as the other amp. I've had the same happen with strings. Some parts of your signal chain have a synergy and others don't. Just one of those things that unfortunately costs you more money than you'd like to spend in order to find out. You have the solution (EB Slinkys) and now you know.

[quote name='clunkie66' timestamp='1500907299' post='3340981'] . . . . should I forget about it, crack on and play the way I feel most comfortable? [/quote] You can use a pick but you don't have to. Pick or fingers? As long as your tone is good and you can play the songs well then neither is better or worse.

For perfect understated bass lines listen to any Keb Mo, Bonnie Raitt, Delbert McClinton or Johhny Lang record.

Can't answer your question, but one of the new features seems to be an HPF which might reduce the "farty noises". //www.gollihurmusic.com/product/1825-EUPHONIC_AUDIO_DOUBLER_MARK_II_BASS_AMPLIFIER.html

I believe the XLR socket on a Wal bass needs to have a jack in the other socket to work. Maybe OW basses are the same?

I play the bass which gives me the sound I prefer. Currently I think that my Jazz sounds better than my Precision, so that's what I'm playing on all my gigs. I was happy with the situation, but I recently did a gig with a drummer who is also a bass player and he said the J and P sounded more similar than different to him! That was a puzzle, because I don't hear them as sounding the same, at all. . . . and then someone recorded a couple of songs on a gig and the J and P do sound very similar to each other! How do I manage to do that?

Sounds like a very good plan to me. These cabs are amazing. I have 1 and am 99% sure I need another.

I put one of the old 15" Barefaced Compacts together with a Bergantino AE210 and at front room volume they sounded very, very good together. I imagine Hi Fidelity sound isn't what you're after in a Punk band. Is the Terror 500 watts? If so split between 2 cabs you're unlikely to reach the limit of either cab. I'd ask your mate to lend you the cab for an afternoon so you can try it out. Give it a go a tell us what you find.

Looks live to me. If the bass playing is pre recorded or live and your technique isn't good enough you'll hear ringing notes either way. I struggled to get to 1.17 mins but to me he's muting all over the place with either hand in the different sections. He's also playing pretty cleanly so he's not hitting the stings he's not playing. His playing and muting sounds pretty effective.

This style of playing is not for me. I don't know if this guy is Joe Louis Walkers regular player but the guy(s) JLW uses are always very good players. . . . when they're not slapping like this. JLW and the audience seem to think it's OK though, so what do I know!

Good news Bill.

I endorse Aguilar. . . . unfortunately and sadly, they don't endorse me!
