hmm, i'll be sure to remember that, thanks for the tip! :)

haha, well i guess now I know it's not suicidal. XD it's a good thing thats there, or else it would definitely be toasted right now..

I didn't read the rest of what you wrote before I posted that, my bad.

How is that possible when it's not even past 4? :\ Also, i should mention that every so often it would stop producing sound completely and the yellow protect light would come on. Like, after I'd been playing something kinda heavy and then paused for a few seconds and started playing again, it...

On the Hartke that I'm using, the clip is on the power amp output.

ok, so if i hooked up two speakers, it would be delivering 180watts to both, or 300watts to both? or just all around 300watts.(and then in that case, will i need an amp that does 250-350watts at 8ohms to support just the one cab alone?)

Alright, well, I got to hear it for the first time and it sounds perfect to me! The only problem is the head, though. If I put it over the 4 notch, the red light for clipping comes up. Also, turns out the head does 200watts at 8ohms and the speaker i have is 400watts. o_o i think the problem...

Hey, what's up? It's great to meet everyone and talk with other bassists, since I don't know very many myself, lol.. My name is Ryan, I've been playing bass for about 2 years, now and I just joined a new band a week ago! It was such a great feeling after not being in a band for so long...

Thanks for all the replies, guys! And keep up the funk!

the b1 has a built in tuner.. idk, i guess i'll ask when I know what I want, haha.

You may be right, downunderwonder. in fact, you are right. i don't even know what my rig sounds like and won't know till this weekend. but i'm sure there are things that every bassist should have.

i dunno, i kinda feel like i need more stuff to add to it. not just pedals, but like...well, y'know how people have all sorts of stuff on the racks.

well, I have a zoom B1 pedal and a wah pedal.

ok, cool. I made sure to go out and get a speaker cable. I wanna do more to it, though, but I don't really know what to do first, haha.. Should I start with getting a rack?

I have a HA3000 hooked up to a Hartke 410XL. Is there anything else I should put with it or am I good to go? I've always used combo amps so I'm pretty new to this part of the gear game. Any helpful tips on what I should get will be highly appreciated!
