    Genz-Benz tweeter replacement

    Hi everyone, I need to replace the tweeter in my Genz-Benz focus 2x10. I have had this cab for over 10 years doing 100 plus gigs a year. It would be so nice to keep it going for another 10 years. Any ideas where to get a replacement tweeter ? @agedhorse John

    G&L Club Part 7

    Hi everyone, long time lurker, finally getting around to posting something 😊 So here are some family photos. I bought my first G&L about ten years ego. That’s the L2000 tribute. It has a John East uni-pre installed that really opened up the tonal possibilities. It’s a Swiss Army knife, and...

    Double Bass Pure Raw Power

    I've tried Dominants Chris and its a string I felt I could really work with, unfortunately they kept breaking on me. I have a Spiro G at the moment. I love its articulation but it dosent have the punch and presence of a gut G and frankly I'd really prefer a thicker string that I could dig...

    Double Bass Pure Raw Power

    Thanks guys for all the contributions. Thats an interesting idea about guts being loud because they occupy a sonic range all to themselves. To get back to the original question I'm trying to figure out which individual strings are loudest. So based on the replies so far this is how its...

    Yes depends on the bass and the player. So in your opinion, for you, what were the loudest?

    Double Bass Pure Raw Power

    Ok, so this is just a bit of fun. I wanna know what you guys think are the loudest strings individually. As in what’s the loudest G, what’s the loudest D, Etc. By loud , I mean acoustic volume when using pizzicato I don’t care if they bow well are not at all. I don’t mind mixing and...

    Ampeg V4-B Slave output question

    Hi Funkabilly, In my set up i went from the slave out on the Ampeg to the effects loop in of the Acoustic image amp. The reason i go into the effects loop is because i want to go straight to the power amp section of the the AI amp. I want to avoid going through the preamp section of the AI...

    PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

    I managed to squeez 10 pedals onto a Pedaltrain metro 16 with a Cioks dc5 underneath. Took a bit of time but was really worth it. It definately has a tetris vibe to it. It has a really small stage footprint. I'm pretty happy with it..........for now.

    Have Darkglass M900 - Upgrading to Aguilar DB751 or Mesa M9 Carbine?

    What about a V4B ? It wont do really loud and clean. It will do loud and grindy Might be worth checking out

    Darkglass Vintage Microtubes settings?

    For mild overdrive to add some hair to tone Level = 1 or 2 o'clock (adjust to taste) Blend = 9 o'clock (I like to keep my fundamental bass tone intact) Era = 10 or 11 o'clock ( Era seems to change the mid range emphasis, I like this setting for a low mid bump.) Drive = 11 o'clock ( when i...

    Ampeg V4-B Slave output question

    So I did it . Wired it up like this. It worked perfectly. The Ampeg powered the 2 10 cab and the power section of the AI Clarus powered the 15 cab. The sound out of the 2 10 was the usual pillowy warm round Ampeg tone. The 15 produced a cleaner much firmer low end which is what I hoped for...

    Ampeg V4-B Slave output question

    Thanks guys, Yeah I'll use the slave out. It will be plugged into the return input of the effects loop of an Acoustic Image Clarus Should be fun blending the V4-BR tubes with the ultra clean AIs power amp.

    Ampeg V4-B Slave output question

    Hi everyone, this question has been asked before but I haven't been able to find the answer. What is the difference between the preamp out and the slave out at the back of the amp? According to the instructions they seem to do much the same thing. If i want to run my V4-B as I normally do...

    Double Bass Can I leave my strings in fifths tuning indefinitely?

    Hi Reiska, Could you give more details about appropriate set up for 5ths tuning. Particularly regarding string heights. I'm curious. Thanks
