    Power a cab with this?

    I did not know this. I have an active DI with its >1MOhm claimed input impedance and I naively assumed all DI boxes were the same. Thank you.

    Power a cab with this?

    Wouldn't a DI box into a mic input be the way to do this? Although, are those mini-XLR inputs? That would be a bit annoying.

    Sterling Ray24 over SUB Ray4: what exactly do you get for your money?

    I realise this has been covered in the past, but I figure the latest SBMM Ray24 has been around for a couple of years now and more people might have actually had their hands on one. So, given that the Ray24 and the much cheaper SUB Ray4 now have the same pickup and preamp, what exactly are you...

    Yesterday, I was granted my very first health insurance policy.

    It's free for me. I don't pay any taxes :hiding: Seriously though, I'm surprised by some of the things in this thread. I'm shocked that these things are legal anywhere for any type of insurance.

    Winter

    There are videos on youtube that are quite helpful: Apparently explaining the seasons requires you to talk in a strange manner :) One way to see it for yourself it to get yourself a globe and a torch/flashlight to represent sunlight. Shine the light from a distance onto the tilted globe and...

    crazy pinky syndrome

    You know how you watch some people play and their pinky on the fretting hand is all over the place when they are not using it? One moment locked straight and pointing perpendicular to the fretboard, the next it's all curled up almost under the neck - generally waggling around spasmodically in...

    Will flatwounds help cover up bad technique?

    Ok, before this becomes a discussion on the merits or otherwise of tapewound strings (which I had to google to find out what they were :) ) I'd just like to say thanks for all the responses. General concensus seems to be that I don't need to worry about such things and should just concentrate...

    Will flatwounds help cover up bad technique?

    I was considering trying out flatwounds on my new bass, but I was wondering; do they go any way to covering up clumsy technique? The reason I ask is because I used to have my amp eq'd with a big mid scoop; I thought it sounded better, but I eventually realised the real reason for my...

    Fitting a drop-in replacement bridge

    Hello TB'ers. I was planning to fit a new bridge to my BB414, mainly for cosmetic purposes. If I am fitting a bridge that matches the existing screw holes is it ok to just reuse them or should I fill and then redrill pilot holes? What if the new screws are a different pitch or shorter...
