Your head is most likely outputting 300 watts at 4 ohms. You definitely can use either of those cabs independently, but you won't get the full power of your amp. It will most likely be around 150-180 watts into one of those 8 ohm cabs. If you plug both of your cabs in, for a total 4 ohm load...

I didn't read every post in this thread, but I don't think you need to get a whole new amp. If anything, the Ampeg v2 BA210 is 450 watts is you plug in an 8 ohm extension cab. So if you don't think you have enough power to be "pro" level, I think your cheapest route is just to get a nice 410 to...

Can anyone put together a sound clip or video for these things? I am greatly intrigued by the amp, but I don't know what it sounds like at all. Lindex did a great job describing it, but I'd still love to hear it before taking the plunge. I'd also love to hear the BVV, which is another amp I...

I would really love to not have a tone pot at all, honestly. I don't ever mess with the tone on my bass. If I leave that off, what would be the effect of the sound on my bass? Would it change it significantly, or would it be relatively the same? I'm kind of an electronics noob, so any info will...

Hey TBers, I have a J bass that I'm looking to mod the electronics on. It's all stock right now (neck volume, bridge volume, master tone.) I don't ever mess with my controls because it's a pain and I don't ever mix volumes or change the tone setting. I would like to super-simplify it to make it...

Hey TalkBass, I'm in process of getting out of the combo game on a budget. Currently I have an old GK BL head and a 410 (8 ohm)cab I found used for fairly cheap. The amp is rated at ~180watts at 8ohms and ~300watts at 4ohm. Here's my question: Is it reasonable to run the amp at 4 ohms through a...
