Hey. Am discovering the joys of my J pickup but cant use it in church because of the induction loop. Is there any way I can stop by bass thinking it is a receiver?

Hey. I just replaced the castors on my Peavey 115 with feet. Where did all that bottom come from?

Looks to me like it may have snapped off? Is it likely there was a flaw in the wood?

There was a Tanglewood Curbow (which seemed identical to my Cort except for the finish) for sale on this forum not too long ago. I don't recall seeing it go so it might still be available if you search. Edit: I think it was under or around two hundred squid.[/quote] Ta but a bit worried about apparent quality issues with the Curbows and am not interested in all the active stuff. Also, I tried a BB514 and liked it but preferred the Curbow sound

Hey. Being a budget kind of person (and a rather mediocre player) I am getting gas for another cheap bass (to go with my Tanglewood Rebel). Having played a few squire, yamaha cheapos etc I have discovered alarmingly I rather like the simple passive sound of a Cort Curbow. Am wondering if there is a cheaper way of getting the same sound.

Spotted this while whizzing thru eb*y. Anybody got an idea what it is?

Poor mans rig. Tanglewood Rebel 5 through a BLE 100 into a Peavey T.B Raxx pre-amp, Classic Series 120 valve amp and BW cab. I like it. .

[quote name='Musky' post='404145' date='Feb 9 2009, 11:37 AM']Nope. Valve amps always put out the same wattage - that's what the output transformer does. You just need to match the transformer tap to the impedance of the cab as it it can be disastrous for the health of your amp if you don't. There might be other benefits to using a particular impedance (which maybe someone more qualified could comment on), but you won't get a higher wattage from it.[/quote] Ooo. Thats interesting. Thanks. So it doesn't matter whether I pick an 8 or 4 ohm, it will still deliver 120 watts? I guess I just need to be careful to plug it into the appropriate output.

Hi. Forgive the stoopid question but...... am planning to get a 15" cab to go with my Peavey TB RAXX /Classic 120 head. The Peavey Classic 120 is a 120W mono valve power amp with 2, 4, 8 and 16 ohm outputs. Thought I would go for a Peavey cab (seems good value for money) but am wondering whether to get the 4 or 8 ohm version. Am assuming the 4 ohm option makes more sense as it will draw more watts from the amp. Am I right? Is this a good basis for my decision. Ta
