Are we growling yet?

If he wants to use his super simple box, he should arrange the split too. Or mike the cab :) My general rule, the sound guy can make anything he wants until he don't get into the way. I'm pretty good at kicking boxes off the stage.

Sorry. Where can I get a set of replacement pots for my 1001RBII in Europe? parts@gallien did not replied me, our local dealer is dumbo. "He can maybe ask, but I should not expect it in 6 month". I have found Polar Audio, but they are out of stock too.

Voltage usually not an issue, couple of hundred volts running inside the amp. Huge ampers are requiring hefty power cords. You are good to go with any standard cord.

Actally skill=90% of tone.

Tried both went with the RB series. Having a big transformer in an amp was always a good thing and I guess it always will be. Just my 2 cents.

Yup, it's a completely different mindset. I played guitar for 20+ years before I picked up a bass. The approach of the instrument is way different. My reason was to concentrate on the melody of a given tune, and grab it by the core. If you can play rhythm on a guitar, fining a groove with a pick...

The whole square wave thing is bogus. If that would be true, no one would let a synth through their PA. The lower you go the more power is required to produce the sound. You can hear farting and it is not a pleasant sound, not like Celestion greenbacks distorting. (They can fart out too)...

How about the Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack (STK-J1) and Hot Stack (STK-J2) ?

SKB Xracks are cool and light. 4U means you can have an extra unit (power conditioner, compressor, whatever) in there. If you are willing to cut out a 1U rack tray you can have pedals and stuff mounted on that and still leaving the fan out intact. Just my 2 cents.

Pick is a must for the Duff sound, so as the Roto Stainless strings. He uses downstrokes most the time like Hetfield, and that's a special flavor. Arrangements are a huge factor too. The song needs to be crafted the way they do, to be able to hear his signature turnarounds and fills. You can get...

No one seems to know, I did some further research, in case someone else needs it, please find below. The pickup can be installed either way. I would recommend to install it with the wire out closer to the cavity. The pickup should be wired series, meaning, red and white soldered together and...

Looking for some help fellas. First of all, how should I decide the orientation of a STK-J2 neck pickup? The cover came off and it can be put on both ways, either the wires coming off the left or the right side. Does it matter which orientation the pickup is installed? Secondly, I was not...

Loops are usually line level unless they are switchable between instrument and line level. Line level will send way too hot signal to an input of an amp. What you can do: 1. Use and isolated ABY switch (midi or non midi) and send the line out of the amp/preamp(some amp's line out work in...

Would love to do a comparison. Unfortunately no Barefaced cabs around :( The price for the compact is around 100Eur more with shipping.
