    FS: custom shock-mount 4 space rack

    the rack weighs 30 lbs - it's built tough. outside dimensions are 12" high, 24 1/2" wide, and 10 3/4" deep. the depth from the front-rack rails to the inside of the back panel door is 17". with my old 400+, there was more than enough room to leave my speaker cables inserted when i put the...

    mesa 410&115 vs mesa powerhouse1000

    i had the 1000, and at least that had casters built in. eventually i swapped it out for a single 15 and 2x10 cab so i could at least get it up the stairs by myself. but man, that 1000 did sound clean. fyi, the new 1000's are now called the 1200 - and rated the same.

    Country bass players - what you using?

    saw all the above within the last year, except for jackson. paisley's bassist had no visible amp onstage (same with a house 'o blues live concert on TV i saw). don't know what kind of DI he uses. jerry flowers with urban and the flatt's bassist were both running multiple SVT's.

    Difference between Aero and Lakland PU in DJ

    for those like me who weren't sure if they got aero's or lakland pickups in their bass, i emailed lakland tech support and got this response... "Check out the lead wires from the pickup. The Aero's have black and white vinyl covered wires. The Lakland's have black, red and green wires."
