    '60-'62 Jazz Bass string mute question....

    I recently fitted a set of the sprung felt mutes to a Road Worn Jazz that I converted into a stack-knob. The felts needed to be cut down in length to avoid too much muting, but even so I found that they caused the bass to play increasing sharp as I moved up the neck on all four strings so I...

    How to re-attach MarkBass plastic logo to speaker cabinet?

    Yes, they really are my thoughts too. I am thinking of re-attaching the badge now, probably with silicone sealer. I guess that if I was able to remove it cleanly in the first place someone else will be able to do so as well if they want to. It is a crappy looking logo though.

    How to re-attach MarkBass plastic logo to speaker cabinet?

    Of course, weld it on! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you Charlie Monroe.

    How to re-attach MarkBass plastic logo to speaker cabinet?

    When I sell things I like them to be in the most original condition possible, but as I'm probably not the only one to dislike large badges I'll probably take your advice and leave it off. Thanks for the suggestions.

I now want to re-attach the logo to one of the cabinets as I intend to sell it but I've forgotten how it was originally fixed on. Should I use glue, double-sided tape, Blu-tak, chewing...

    Low B Cabinet Ratings?

    Will two 2x10 Neo cabs sound the same as one 4x10 Neo? Particularly in the low-B department.

    Is my amp dead for good?

    I haven't read ALL the posts in this thread, but have you checked the fuse in the plug? Sometimes they can blow but not look like they are blown. Put a new one in and see what happens. Chris.

    Do all cabs feel like a compromise?

    I have a couple of MarkBass 1x15 Neo cabs. I think they are called Traveller. Very light, 8ohm, high power, very well made. They were covered in the dreaded black fur stuff but I had them re-covered in black tolex. Who ever thought that the fur was a good idea? Looks shabby and you can't get...

    Fender Rumble 500 combo too boomy/muddy at home...

    I'd try it at a gig or rehearsal before taking it back to the store. I heard one at a small outside gig recently and it sounded great. Actually I also sat in with the band for a few numbers and really enjoyed using the amp.
