Thanks for the responses everyone. Based on what I've read here and the fact that both amps seem OK I guess I lucked out. I'm definitely taking it as a learning experience. I'm usually pretty meticulous with gear, but I have a pretty bad absent minded streak that occasionally gets me into...

This is going to sound like a dumb mistake, and it was. In the course of attempting to try out a new amp with one of my cabs, I accidentally plugged the speaker output of one amp into the speaker output of another amp. I turned the first amp on (the second was off), quickly realized my mistake...

Hey everyone, my car was broken into yesterday and most of my bass gear was stolen. Any help anyone can give me is greatly appreciated. Here's a list: Red Guild Pilot Bass: 4 string with red flame maple finish, black headstock, P/J pickups, and gold hardware. It has a significant ding on the...

To answer your first question, both. I tend to gravitate towards single notes for fast, intricate riffs and chords (power or otherwise) for slow, big sections. That being said, there's no reason it couldn't be done the other way around, and I'm also sure there are great bass/duos out there that...

I used an HM-3 for a year or so. I've never tried the HM-2, so I can't compare the two, but the HM-3 was a lot of fun. I think I read somewhere that Peter Steele from Type O Negative used one.

I've played in a metalish bass/drum duo occasionally (sometimes very occasionally) for a few years. Fuzz (from a black Russian big muff) is definitely the core sound, and I could probably get away with it alone but delay and octave down (from a boss rv-3 and oc-2 respectively) see a lot of use...

I have experience with the Micropog and the Boss PS-2 and PS-3. I found the Micropog to be the perfect no-frills octave up pedal. It tracks perfectly. I understand comments about its sterility, but in my rig with the proper blend and the fact that it was always being run into a Big Muff/dirty...

This might be a dumb question, but could it be fuse if the amp still turns on? I thought that was something to check if the amp didn't power on.

On the rear panel of the amp it says 2 ohm minimum, but I understand the sentiment - what it says and what its really capable of could he 2 different things. However, this is a setup I've used at shows for the past 5 or so years without any issues (I usually practice with one cab).

The amp has separate effects loops for the high and low sides. You can either run separate effects for each freq range, or use the send from either loop to feed another amp. I'm using the send from the high effects loop to feed the guitar amp. The only connections using the speaker outs are to...

The amp has a crossover that let's you send the highs / lows to separate amps or effects if desired. I run the highs to a guitar amp. By two ohm load I just meant that it was hooked up to two four ohm cabs, resulting in a 2 ohm load.

Hey everyone, I have a Sunn Coliseum 300 that just died. I just finished practice (during which there weren't any issues with the amp) and was noodling around when it happened. There was a popping noise, and then no sound. The amp turns on and the fan comes on, and the clip and compressor...

Also, sorry for the big block of text - I just woke up and wasn't thinking about formatting like I should have been.

I usually run my Coliseum 300 into one 4 ohm cab, and I've never run into a situation where that hasn't been enough. At first I was using an Ampeg SVT 410hlf, then an Avatar B212, then an Acoustic 106 (a 2x15), and now I use a Sunn 215B SPL. That being said, when my bass / drum duo plays out I...

Oh and by looper, I meant phrase sampler. Always make that mistake.
