Did anyone ever find any good information on a replacement drive for these boxes? I found one locally for $100 that has a blow driver and I'm wondering if it is worth taking on. Opinions?

played on of these today through one of those Acoustic 8x10s. sounded like a nice amp to me, I just kept the EQ's set at noon, the gain around 3 and and master pretty low so as not to disturb cromagnons. I did see the clip light blinking at me. Do the same "keep the Ampeg light on" rules apply...

I haven't ruled out gas. I will be tinkering with this little box later this weekend. If anyone has any ideas on replacement drivers I'd love to hear it.

The issue is definitely in the speakers. I've been playing with a passive P-bass. I ran it pretty hot, must have pushed it too hard. Live and learn. Roland wants $32 a speaker, I'm going to go through and see if the problem lies with a single speaker or with all of them. Is this as simple as...

Well is it as simple as replacing the speakers then? Anybody know who makes a replacement speaker for this unit?

I never expected miracles from it, I like features like the drum machine and find it to sound good enough for low volume practice and scratch recording, but am disappointed and baffled by the recent farting.

I have a Roland Microcube that is my bedroom practice amp. Recently it has started to fart on the lower notes before the master volume approaches 12:00. I have the gain set at about 11:00. EQ is flat. The amp used to sound very good with no flatulence at this same setting. I removed the grill...

I'm a beginner bass player (less than a year) and am concerned about the angle of my wrist on my fretting hand. I find it very difficult to accurately fret notes without bending my wrist but am experiencing a lot of tension when playing lines that have a bit of movement to them. Straightening...

Go to school. Get involved with the music program. Find the musos and make friends. Get a part time job at music shop. Play in bands. Lots and lots of bands. Learn to be busy and love it. Make 30 hours out of 24. You're young. You don't need to sleep that much.

Thanks to all who replied!

Retribution Gospel Choir is Alan Sparhawk's (Low) psychedelic dub rock trio. They're the real deal.

Honestly, whether you go ASCAP or BMI doesn't really seem to matter much. They both have strengths and weaknesses but I've yet to meet anyone who could articulate what they are. ASCAP has always been fine to me. Their support is adequate but not amazing. My friend is a BMI member. He has...

I'm creeping up on a year of teaching myself to play bass. I have played the drums for over 15 years and have a little piano experience. I understand basic theory and have a solid rhythmic and time, I can play the basic scales, have a few modes under my belt and can play a handful of simple...

Thanks, much appreciated.

Sorry if anyone has addressed this, but is there any insight on how this cabinet would match up with an Avatar 210 or even a second 153? I'm considering getting one but would want a rig that I could add more speakers to when the time came. Is it conventional wisdom to add same size speakers to...
