Gah...I was so excited in opening it, I didn't read the "Important Stuff" section on the included printouts. Number two is "Please attach the front feet" (and they're attached on one of the handles). I'll do that tomorrow before I start putting amps on top. Thanks for pointing that out.

The eagle has landed! I'm too busy at work today to test drive, but have weekend plans to line up my (now) three cabs with two amps to compare them all. At first glance it has a pronouned tilt / lean forward (b/c of the wheels in the back)--anyone have issues with heads on that tilt? Or will I...

Looks like my 310 is going through customs now (Indiana) then heading my way soon (Virginia)--looking forward checking it out vs. my Ampeg 410HE and Ampeg Venture 410 with a variety of heads. For anyone else that's waiting on a 10 series, I ordered 12/31, and saw that there was a supply chain...

If you haven't yet, you should also email Barefaced (think they strongly suggest / require before purchasing so you have a better chance of getting what you want). For me, I told them what gear I've used that I like and what I was aiming for, and Alex responded with thoughts on which of their...

Just ordered the 310 before EOY in my quest to find something that sounds similar to my Ampeg 410HE (the sealed / non-ported one) without the weight. For context, I also bought the Ampeg Venture 410 last year (42 lbs!) and it sounds fine, but lacks the character of the 410HE, so hoping the...

I'm going through that "do I need new / lighter gear" phase as my old back no longer wants to lug SVT heads and cabs up and down stairs. But as I look for potential replacements, I'm finding it hard to find anything in stock in stores to try out. I know this is due to folks buying online more...

@agedhorse I saw earlier in the thread you confirmed it was safe to go DI out without a speaker plugged in for a live setting. Safe to assume that works for a home set-up too? (e.g. no speaker plugged in, but XLR out into my UA Apollo Twin interface for home recording). And if so, does it matter...

When I play it in Reason, it's just direct (not through the bass amp plug-in), and when playing online (JamKazam) it's just direct. On the Firebox I'm going through the Mic / Instrument ins on the front. I play somewhat aggressively live, but in the basement it's pretty standard. I played the...

Does anyone know of a mod to cool off the drive knob some? If I get past 9 o'clock I start to get fuzz, and even at 9, I get a little buzz from low Gs and below. By noon it's fuzz bass (made me think of Curtis Mayfield "If There's a Hell Below"), and from 2 o'clock on it's like Radiohead or...

I ended up having Anvil make me one, which I ordered through Guitar Center. It wasn't cheap, but the dimensions were exact, and it's a really nice / solid case. Sadly, I've been doing more gigs with backline, so not using the case as much as I thought I would, so far.

Thanks, man. I'll drop Voodoo Labs a line and see if they have other power supplies that might be better suited. And for now I'll just have an extra plug for the pedal board.

Could be. Maybe his furlough goes in one-second intervals? At the end of the night I realized that I recently got a Voodoo Labs ISO5 (definitely in the 12volt plug), so I tried the adapter that came with the pedal and I couldn't get it to break. That being said I used that Voodoo Labs...

I've been using a MarkBass Super Synth for about two years and it's been great. But then on Monday we were doing a radio session and it started cutting in and out. One minute it was working, and then it'd be quiet with a pulsing synth note happening about once per second. Once a year ago...

Looks like the Fender is 1/2 inch wider and deeper, but 1.5 inches shorter. I'm less worried about the height since I could lay a sheet of added foam so it doesn't move around. I'll email some case companies about the 1/2 inch issue, see if it'll be a problem.

I just ordered a Fender Super Bassman 300 yesterday and I need to get it a road case for tours. Does anyone know if there are good options that already fit my amp's dimensions, or is this amp new enough that I'm looking at a custom job? Also, what are some good case makers. I have an...
