    Playing bass with carpal tunnel is like strolling around in a minefield...

    I've had carpal tunnel for the last 2 years. Been getting cortisone shots every 6-7 months. They help. Stretching and physical therapy help as well. Interestingly, I used to play with a pick, and I couldn't go longer than 30 seconds without numbness and tingling. I was with a thrash band. They...

    1200 WATTS - WHY ?

    Yep. I have a 450W head into a 410 and 115( both @ 8 ohm). Why do you need that much power when you're most likely going to run it thru a PA? Overcompensating for something, perhaps??

    450w head into 500w and 200w cabs?

I just find that the 410 is fuller, more bass-y; and the 115 is more treble-y. I like the blend, gives me my own unique tone. And the 115 only cost me $60 used, so if it...

    450w head into 500w and 200w cabs?

    I have the Behringer Bx4500h ultrabass head. Its a 450 watt head. I currently run it through a Fender Rumble 410 cab, it's rated for 500 watts. Just picked up an old Yorkville 115 cab that's rated at 200 watts. Please spare me your opinions on matching speaker sizes. I just wanna know if this is...

    410 & 115 OR on their own??

    I currently have a Behringer BX4500H 450-watt head running into a Fender Rumble 4x10 cab. Just picked up a Yorkville 1x15 to go with it. Head puts out 450 watts, the Rumble cab is rates for 500 watts, and the Yorkville for 200. Any reasons why this setup shouldn't work? Live, it's gonna be...
