    compressor on a budget

    I will admit I am not running an always-on compressor these days, but back when I did I started with a Moen Uni-Comp. If you need other suggestions, peruse the same site in more detail - vast wealth of knowledge (and I believe the author is a member here as well).

    Squier/Fender Mustang Little Pups Club

    Yeah the light in that room is weird, it's surf green, which is not quite as green as seafoam.

    Squier/Fender Mustang Little Pups Club

    Thanks @Greywoulf - those two are not actually a pair. That amp just happened to be out the day the bass showed up. The bass is a new Squier Classic Vibe Mustang, and the amp is a mid-60s Gibson Scout (guitar amp). Should push about 12W through a single 10" Weber (10a125). On a slightly related...

    Squier/Fender Mustang Little Pups Club

    Thanks, all for the awesome resources! I've long been interested in the Mustang, and the Little Pups especially. I'd love to find one with a maple fingerboard one day (it seems Fender did make some in the 70s), but until then this little Squier will serve as a fine stand-in. @Greywoulf - I'll...

    Official Lab Series (Gibson / Norlin) Amp Club

    Good stuff C-RAM, please be sure to post back here. I'll do the same if I make any decisions or discoveries. Oh, and @Drifter_Bass I'll take a member number if that's cool. Glad to have found this club!

    Official Lab Series (Gibson / Norlin) Amp Club

    And perhaps a follow-up question: has anyone converted a lab combo to bass speakers, or speakers that can handle and work well for both guitar and bass? I have no idea if this is feasible or what speakers to consider, but love the tone and controls of the lab, but am also interested a bass...

    Official Lab Series (Gibson / Norlin) Amp Club

    Yes, I can and have done that and it works well. The reason for the question was more about whether (or under what conditions) I could safely use the combo without going through a proper bass cab.

    Official Lab Series (Gibson / Norlin) Amp Club

    I am comfortable playing bass through my L7 at home or at quiet jams and practices, but not so much at louder practices or shows. I should clarify that even my louder shows aren't that loud, plus we always have PA support. I also have used the Lab as a head into my bass cabs in addition to using...

    Official Lab Series (Gibson / Norlin) Amp Club

    Whoa! Thanks! Didn't think to look in the parts list, but there lies the answer (much of it anyway). Really appreciate the guidance!

    Thanks beans-on-toast! Mine are round backs like the ones you pictured. Know anything about their power handling?

    Official Lab Series (Gibson / Norlin) Amp Club

    Not sure how it took me so long to find this thread (well, it's probably that I have an L7 so it never occurred to me to inquire at TB about a guitar amp), but I'm glad I did! If anyone's interested mine was bought used in NC in 2014; serial 3775, brownish faceplate, not mint but in pretty darn...

    How to send this to FOH?

    Since we're doing recommendations, here's a couple of different ways I would go on this, though none of them are towards the Lehle posted above. Not that it doesn't look absolutely look a awesome, but is admittedly overkill IMO (or maybe that's just me). Here are a few less extravagant...

    How to send this to FOH?

    I'm no expert, but I think what you need is a mixer. Here's why; first I don't know of any box that'll combine them on a single channel (as most mixers / devices are going to override your xlr when you plug something into the line jack), and even if you got both signals on one channel, you'd...
