Ah I see, thanks for the explanation. I was a bit worried. I feel your pain and agree, the B1000 looks great but there are a few things missing. My B800 has dual speakons, can't see they would make a "new" amp and actually remove useful features. I'm also kind of stumped on why they...

Hi, could you clarify what the specific problem with a single SpeakOn output jack running in 2-ohm configuration with two or three cabinets would be? I have a B800, which I love, and am considering upgrading to the B1000. I run two 8-ohm 2x10 Avatar cabinets but I also want the option off...

Try these exercises, there are several in the video so check out the whole thing: Ps. Thank you Victor :)

The Winery Dogs! Guitar: Richie Kotzen Bass: Billy Sheehan Drums: Mike Portnoy Obviously not "new players", but this band is sick. They are the definition of a power trio!

Oh, so what you're saying is if your band is not good, it's ok if your gear get's destroyed. Well, then let me give you some friendly advice buddy, don't check YOUR gear on an airplane.

Wow, kind of surprised at the responses on this one. To each their own, but for me this is NOT something I would modify my technique to deal with. I use DiMarzio Model J™ DP123 pickups for my Jazz Bass. These pickups have adjustable poles that allow you to adjust the height of each pole...

I purchased my first bass new in 1993, a MIM Fender Jazz bass. I put DiMarzio Model J pickups in it that same year. To this day, almost 20 years later, it is still my primary bass and the only electric fretted bass I've ever purchased. I will never part with it. I inherited an Ibanez SR400...

I hope you get some reply's here, I'll actually be doing a Warmoth build myself and I've never done it before so I'm very curious about anything I should be aware of. I think I'm going to keep it a bit more standard than you (actually thinking P-Bass body, with Jazz bass neck and pickups)...

Among my favorites are anything by Rage Against the Machine, and Cake's "Going the Distance" (always gives me an extra kick). But, without a doubt, the best music to run/work out to is the Rocky I and Rocky IV soundtracks.

+ 1. Though I'll add that I think the song craft came back very strong on In Rainbows.

Ok, I figured I'd provide an update on the off chance that it may be informative to any one. I dropped my bass off for a long needed setup, including new nut, fret dressing etc. I had a Gotoh 201 bridge that I'd figure I might as well put on while I was getting the work done. I figured...

I figured I'd share my thoughts on this because I had a very similar experience when I first starting playing bass. First, It's good that you are thinking about the practical side of the band, and depending on your goals and the band's goals, perhaps you need to consider your future in the...

@steve: thanks for the clarification, I think I get it. But still not totally sure. @skychief: ok, now I'm quite confused. Maybe I did mis-understand. If he just plugged one output of his head into 1 cabinet, sure no problem. But my reading is that he "meant" to plug his head into two...

Ok, I'm a bit confused about this. The basic consensus in this thread is that it's ok to plug both parallel outputs of a single head into two parallel inputs on the back of a single cabinet. But I don't understand why? There are several other threads on TalkBass addressing the question of...
