... thanks so much for this extremely informative post . Electronics is not my strong point but I managed to understand everything you wrote. I just went thru a crash course on tone pots as I had to change out the circuit on my P. It now has the vintage orange drop cap and plenty of BASS :)...

hi 96tbird :: thanks for the reply ... she's brand new so the shop will sort out the fix for free, and i do love the bass so she's staying with me :) I'm no electroics guy so this post was more of a heads up for the community, maybe there are others who also had the "grease bucket" micro...

... hey there brianrost :: thanks to reply, I'm no electronics wizz - good question how did it stop working ? no idea... I love the bass so she's staying with me for sure, plays perfect. The shop changed out the pot so I have a working tone, while we wait for the replacement, but still I...

Dear BASSHEADS ::: For those of you interested in the new Fender P-Bass Series from the California Factory. I love sound (when its working!) the feel and finish both impeccable BUT I will definately be re-wiring the Tone circuit as the original "vintage" version. The microchip fried...

Hi Fonsdale , Guys.... you can add me to the list of forever "lead-sleading" (as you put it :) Nothing against the lightweight fans, but I'll always prefer the sound of a good heavy amp with full analogue solidstate or valve. More than that personally I find a good heavy built amp and...

... loving the 2x15 stacks - good thread and cool pictures :)

ask the reggae boys about bass ...

... you'll be happy to hear I went out of my way to find the heaviest solidstate amp head, in a wooden box, that I could find for my new rig. As for cabs and stage presence VS direct to PA. I'd always bring my rig. There's nothing like the feeling of the stack vibrating your knees before it...

hi PEPJ : this whole thread is really about the "modularity" of set up's - sometimes the 2x10 is more than enough (and sounds lovely) and then there are times when I need more juice ... that's all there is to it ... peace and bass :)

... there seems to be a "flats" revolution going on these days :) Personally loved the sound of flats forever. From what memory serves me I think I had the same set on an EB3 for at least ten years probably longer. The major advantage I found for "traditional finger style" playing is the...

hey there WASNEX : really appreciate you looking into this in such detail ... I rehearse again on Monday, with drums , two guitarists and vocals, so I'll let you know if there is enough power to get the job done :) I was "trying" not to buy another fridge like the one in my bio pic, hence...

hi Solipsistik, yes indeed I had not even thought of that - the ONLY other option I came across was a "line signal splitter" pedal that gives two line outs, from one instrument, into two amps ... but no need since I have a line out.

hey DBS, thanks for the info's : now with my new enlightenment there seems to be general agreement. In fact I have two amps and my question really arose because the bigger of the two heads can run multiple cabs etc, so I wanted to get informed on the combinations possible ... so thanks...

hey there SACTOBASS I agree she is cute and perfectly formed :) but she needed a big brother ! I can recommend the sound for rehearsals and studio sessions. The Ashdown is really "valvey" and a plesure to play, but within a certain limit on volume hence the need for her big brother :)...

hey there MikeCD1 : thanks for the report of your experience with imbalanced RMS's, it "makes sense" that the smaller cab is pushed harder at the same output so i can see why the bigger cab would end up being quieter. In fact I have 2 amps and cabs - my plan is to be able to use them both...
