    Not a fan.

    It's fine if it doesn't work for you, but from your comments it sounds like you don't really understand what HPF's are trying to achive and how to use them to your advantage. -They stop over excursion of speaker cones when pushed by reducing subsonic content. This is most useful if you're...

    SOLD Sushibox Slampegg Bee Pre Shipped conus

    Hey Mal, which enclosure is this one? Side or top mounted jacks? Does anyone know what the difference is between the "Bee Pre" and the "Bee Pre X"? Is the X the name for the new enclosure? Or a circuit tweak?

    Pairing a 1x10 with a 1x12

    Speaker performance is a combination of so many factors...... I'm no expert but AFAIK the actual size of a speaker cone mainly influences two things: 1) Vas (Speaker area multiplied by Xmax gives ammount of air moved.) 2) Off axis frequency response and beaming Other than that, the speaker...

    Do professional musicians intimidate you?

    I'm not a heavy jazz player in my city, but I think this view comes from a different place from snobbery. Those guys probably play fairly boring rep to pay the bills, and they're there at the jam to stretch out. Its more like: if you haven't commited enough time to music to memorise some...

    What riff do you play when trying a new bass

    I play different lines with different settings to see how versatile the bass is: After checking what the bass sounds like with everything flat and all pickups on I explore the extremes: -I try dial in something close to a warm P bass tone and test with "What's Going on" -Then I dial in...

    Can someone explain to me the "Compressor" control? Website says: "Sets the overall amount of compression. This control also affects the internal makeup gain." What is "the amount of compression"? It's not the amount that the signal is compressed, because that's a ratio control, which is...

    P or J, are they equally appropriate for free lance dance gigs?

    As above, Active J will get you more sounds. And in a pinch, rolling off the back pickup and some tone will get you reasonably close to a P bass. The best/ most versatile bass I own? Hands down, the F bass BN5. No matter I do with the pickups and pre, it sounds amazing all the time. For...
