Hello fellow bassmen (and bassladies to be fair). As my first official post, as compared to my few years of lurking, I have a question for you all. It might be an incredibly simple question but I need to ask, but first I'll give you some backround on my situation.
So I am a guitarist/bassist, playing guitar for 7 years and bass for about 3. I started playing out as a bass player for about a year now. Up to this point I've ran combo amps, Ampeg BA115 mostly, but now I'm borrowing my new guitar players retired bass rig until I get mine purchased.
As it stands now I'm using a rack mount Sansamp preamp to an Ampeg SVT-4 Pro running into an Ampeg Classic 18 cab. Needless to say the rig isn't exaclty cheap, and I want make sure that I dont do anything to harm it.
I've never used an external preamp of any kind so I ask thee, all mighty TalkBass community, lend me your knowledge. Do I use regular patch cables to connect preamp to power amp, or do I use speaker cable to make the connection? Logic tells me a patch cable will suffice, but it is always a nice idea to check before I do something stupid and harm a nice (and expensive) head that isn't mine.
Thanks guys.
