I wrote a blog post about this a few months ago: Invalid Link Removed If I had to choose one, I'd say not taking private lessons was my biggie. Being self taught, I know that there are some bad habits I've developed in my technique that could've been prevented even just taking a few lessons...

Cool, thanks for the feedback everyone! This was a big help. Sounds like I need to pop it open and take a look at these speakers.

I'm honestly not sure! I think I've mentioned this on every thread I've posted, but I'm not very "tech savvy" when it comes to maintenance/repair/etc. Might get a buddy to come inspect it for me, so I'll find out then!

Thanks, Jimmy! As much as I love my 3-Pro head, would the B-2R be the better match for this cab since it's rated at 200w at 8 ohms? I think the 3-Pro puts out 275-300w at 8 ohms.

My thoughts exactly, even though it wouldn't hurt to inspect the speakers. I know this head/cab combo has had at least two previous owners before me, both bass players as well.

Hey TB! Well I wasn't planning on buying a new cab, buuuut...... I picked up this vintage cab (Ampeg B42X model) along with an Ampeg B2-R head- paid $250 for both the head and cab. Sounds AMAZING and I think it has the tone I've been searching for a long time. Here's what I know (or at least...

Never thought about that. I'll check those once I get my rig back. Thanks!

Good morning! I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to bass and amp repair/maintenance and I need some advice... I have a Mesa Boogie Powerhouse 410 cab that has a little rattle. Long story short, I took it to a technician here and town and it turns out that...

I just joined my first trio and honestly didn't know what to expect (we haven't even had our first practice yet). But after reading this thread I'm even more excited!

I miss this rig every day... I still have the head, but I sold the cab about 5 years ago. My old band called it "Grandma's Couch". I asked around recently and apparently the cab is still somewhere here in Springfield, MO... thinking about hunting it down!

I've never played an EB before, but I got a chance to play a Warwick Corvette a few years ago and I'll never forget it! I loved everything about it.

Hahaha! That's very... specific. And hilarious. Once heard a guy on YouTube describing the tubes of an SVT head as "a shot of caffeine in the morning." These are all fantastic. Thanks TB for helping me keep my sanity at work. :)

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've posted anything on TB. I had an old account that was so outdated that I just decided to start fresh with a new one. Plus I hated my username... Anyway, me and a buddy were at GC last week and we were discussing adjectives used when describing tone. I know...
