    crate bt220

    I have noticed the same thing with my BT220. I'm really not sure what it is. Perhaps that input is just generally higher impedance... I really wish getting a schematic for one of these things was a bit easier. I'm still having audio issues with mine in that it sounds distorted on and off, and...

    Double Bass French Bow Techique with Double JOinted Thumbs

    I just recently discovered that I'm double-jointed in the thumbs. I just started playing the upright about a month ago. My teacher and I use German bow, which I haven't really had any problems with (just getting used to the hand motion on up-down changes). I'm wondering about your left hand...

    crate bt220

    I'm having similar problems as well and would like to know exactly how you get the Amp head out of the "crate," so to speak. The Amp intermittently stopped outputting sound through the driver, and at this point I don't get anything out of the main speaker. Everything lights up, and I get the...

    bass noise

    Is there a DIY way of going about this problem (shielding the control cavity and pickups)? I believe I'm experiencing the same type of issue.

    Connecting an extension speaker to a 15W output practice amp

    Awesome! the extension system works very well! The Kenwood really provides a nice deep sound which seems much more powerful than my practice combo-amp's sound. Doing the soldering was pretty fun yesterday since it was pretty cold outside (Michigan weather :rollno: ) so I practically froze my...

    Connecting an extension speaker to a 15W output practice amp

    We'll definitely have to do that. I'll have to check out those amps, but I'm not sure if I could get a new one in time. I think the school has some sort of PA system that we could hook up to, not sure though. If I could get the extension speaker thing working, that could definitely help...

    Connecting an extension speaker to a 15W output practice amp

    Awesome. Thanks guys! I've got a good project to work on tomorrow after school then. I know this is no excuse for a good bass cab, but if it works, it beats having less volume. On a related note, I kind of want to participate in my schools talent show and maybe play a song with my drummer...

    Connecting an extension speaker to a 15W output practice amp

    okay, cool. I wasn't planning on cranking the amplitude all the way up ( I usually don't even boost the practice amp past the 1 o' clock mark). So, how could I connect the speaker to the extension port? could I just solder some speaker wire to a 1/4" jack and try plugging it in? Also...

    Connecting an extension speaker to a 15W output practice amp

    I was wondering about connecting this old Kenwood stereo speaker to my Fender BXR (45W input, 15W output) practice amplifier. We've had 2 of these big stereo speaker cabinets sitting around the house for a while because we have a new digital receiver and sound system set up for our TV. These...

    Fender BXR Fifteen questions

    Ok, well thanks for the help. I'm still a little confused as to what the 15W means since 45W is the input.

    Fender BXR Fifteen questions

    Oh, ok. So I guess it is a 45W then, which makes sense. Here's some pics of it. So do you think it would be possible to do some small gigs with it?

    Fender BXR Fifteen questions

    Hello, I am a new bass player. I've been playing for about a month now, every day, and I'm just wondering about my amp. I have a Fender BXR Fifteen so I guess it is considered a 15 watt amp, but it says 45W on the back. Is this the power consumption and if so, why is it called a 15 watt amp...
