    plugging external speaker line into headphone jack?

    Is this ok to do if a combo had no external jack for an extension speaker? :hiding: Or if not okay, how much is involved in wiring an external speaker jack onto the back of a combo?

    pick which Vox for practice

    Yeah, for me, it really just needs to be audible in a bedroom. But the extra features of the second one seem kinda cool. 50/50 response so far. The 15r has a few more features and a tiny bit more wattage. I just wonder if it will get slightly louder then the 10 watt while remaining fairly...

    pick which Vox for practice

    Just want a little Vox practice amp for my studio apartment. I already have a larger amp kept elseware. The 15r is for guitar, I know (typo that it says "bass"), but would it be a better choice than the first one? I know there's better practice amps for the same price, but I'd like a vox...

    350w head into 800w cab, is this ok?

    Hartke HA5500 head (500w @ 4ohm, 350w @ 8ohm) I had been running a Hartke VX410 cab (400w @ 8ohm) That cab was blown by someone other than myself. So I've been looking for a replacement.. I found an awesome deal on a GK 410 Neo (800w @ 8ohm) Certainly a much better cab then what I had...

    is my Hartke amp or cabinet Blown? weird noises

    Larry, thank you for such a quick response. That is impressive customer service sir. I called the customer service dept number Larry gave. Since I'm out of warranty, looks like my only option is pay to get it looked at, the closest service center is about one and a half hours away...

    I checked for rubbing wires and tightened everything I could, but still the same.

    is my Hartke amp or cabinet Blown? weird noises

    I have a Hartke HA5500 head running into a Hartke VX410 cabinet. I'm getting a little crackle/snap noise right when each note is hit. And if I hold a note to let it ring/sustain, an unpleasant deeper rumble fades in and out. These unwanted noises are coming from all speakers, it seems. I...

    very interesting, these are GHS boomers too. I'll change them and wrap them a bit more as well. Thank you all.

    cant intonate E string, saddle moved all the way

    I was setting up a bass I just got the other day.. I got the intonation set on all strings except the E. I moved the saddle all the way back on the bridge, but 12th fret note is still a fairly sharp E note. I do play the E that high on the neck sometimes, so I'd like it to be in tune...

    all strings buzz at 15th and higher? (action is high, truss is good)

    I just picked up an Ibanez btb1000. All the strings buzz from about the 15th fret and higher. Any idea why this is? The neck has an fair amount of up bow. would too much bow cause this? I even tried raising the action on the strings to a silly-high level, but still buzzing on all once...

    ibanez btb1000 - old notes keep ringing after muted ?

    Hey guys, I just picked up an Ibanez btb1000. I noticed that it's tracking the notes after they're muted on the fretboard. For instance if I play a note, then move up to the next fret on the same string... You'll briefly hear the previous note still through the amp. So it sounds out of...
