If your conscience is bugging you, then get rid of them.

Did you ever figure this out? I had this same issue with Enzo and yet again with Hedra. The output volume is way to hot! Then, when I adjust the mix, I get (of course) mostly dry but little synth. Very frustrating because the output going into my subsequent pedals is distorted/clipping. I’m...

All the reason to say ‘the hell with it’ and give a poor response until you catch up, huh?

Recent email string with Seymour Duncan. This is after waiting 9-days for a response, which I assumed was spent researching my question. Was he: (1) lazy to understand (or ask for clarification), or (2) dumb. Yes, I absolutely don’t mind publically putting someone on blast for a lazy-ass...

I play a Warwick BO-6, and my PowerStage 700 just came in last night from Sweetwater. I haven’t gigged with it yet, but the tone is very clean. It seems to be exactly what Seymour Duncan envisioned, a simple way to amplify my pedalboard/preamp & stereo output. The stereo capability was the...

I’ve owned a lot of cheaper Ibanez, Squire, Yamaha, and others. I settled on Warwick Thumb BO because it was the only bass I found (still) with a nasal-yet-bassy, growly sound, that “I” like. I think “entry level” is more of a marketing term, but not meant to demean anyone. Let’s be honest...

This question is a bit like asking a group of artists what’s the do/donts of using different colors. I’ve (honestly) wondered what it’s like to NOT be able to play by ear, or intuitively anticipate chord changes, and then react accordingly. Browsing these posts kind of answers that for me...

Aren’t the best success stories those that include prior rejection, ostricizing, etc.? Your future success hinges on you moving forward, despite the adversity. Also, don’t blame the band. If you showed up to your 1st rehearsal not knowing your part, it sends a bad message. Like another...

Here's their email reply below. If it's a bit confusing for you, imagine how confused I am about "zero load" considering my knowledge in this area is probably less than 10% or yours. Anyways, thanks for helping out a noob here. Hopefully, this helps anyone else out there who may have the same...

Okay, I just received a reply from Avalon. The U5 will be seen as a 8-ohm load by the amp.

Thanks Otto. The Markbass amp I'm interested in just happens to be the Little Mark III Tube 800. So, it has both a SS and Tube pre, just to make things even MORE complicated. I'm just considering all of this to get a amp/cab sound without upsetting my townhouse neighbors (on both sides). I...

Sorry, didn't finish my post before mistakenly hitting Post Reply button, iphone typing be cursed. Anyways, is this because the amp has to know (or be fooled into thinking) what type of cabinet is connected (4-ohm, 8-ohm, etc.) in order to drive the speaker output? I've never had to be...

Thanks. I did more research on this after posting, and learned some things w still more to learn. I've read that an amplifier has to have a load (i.e. speaker cab) connected. So, I would need to have an amp with 1+ outputs. Or, buy a load box thingy. I'm still waiting to hear from both...

Did you ever get an answer to this question? I'm considering to connect a Markbass Little Mark Tube speaker output to my U5 speaker input. But, of course, us bass players need to know the ohm specs as this determines the wattage output. I'm still waiting for a response from Avalon. Thanks...
