Cheers for that, yes I'm UK. With a 4ohm cab moving enough air, I think my head would be fine... I'll be keeping it whatever happens! Barefaced seem like a decent contender... I'll certainly do some digging. Have you had experience with them? (610's/215's will be too tall for the plan, the...

Hi all, I currently own an Ampeg B2RE head (450W@4ohm, 250W@8ohm), SVT-410HE cab & SVT-15E cab. I'm really happy with the head in general & if I could lug both cabs everywhere, this post wouldn't exist. Unfortunately, we only have space for 1 cab & either cab struggles in rehearsals &...

I think this is a great deal... the Variax was my first "proper" bass! They're surprisingly well made, beautifully finished, absolute pleasure to play & I loved the really nice 'hollow-body' tone when noodling around unplugged. But I'm indecisive so fell out with the options! They don't...

Hi guys, I have a love/hate relationship with a '92 Gibson Thunderbird. I find it really comfortable to play but the 'boom' of the low E string is completely out of balance with the others. Twinned with different needs for a different band (tight LF, some brightness), I'm toying with the...

by jove, i think you've got it! cheers chaps, much appreciated Mark

Hi guys, I wonder if anyone can help identify the model John Illsley is using in this video I'm pretty sure it's the same one an "unknown" band were using a while back & he had an amazing tone. Well worth knowing for the future! Cheers, Mark

i didn't know about the J48 power thing - thanks for highlighting that! and yeah i'd have to say bye bye to the thru-output so sticking with the merge, it looks like i'd have to use the passive JDI with pretty-low input impedance in the first-place to do some substandard passive summing...

Hi guys, I've been playing around with signal paths today. i have one amp & basically want a distorted signal twinned with the low-end & clarity of a clean signal. i'm also after a DI box in general... in my studies i've found the Radial J48 and JDI. these both offer a "merge" function which...

Hi Guys, I've been playing around with signal paths today & have a few questions. I'll post another thread in effects regarding DI's & blending which is where this all came about... 1) can anyone find the input impedance of the B2RE instrument input? is this considered irrelevant? can it be...

hey zenrad, thanks for your reply. that sounds like the kinda thing i was after with the DBX. weird how you pretty much use(d!) the exact same gear & setup... since posting, i've been thinking about it all a bit clearer... providing the B2RE poweramp-in doesn't disable the preamp, i'd be ok...

Hi guys, I'm after some help & advice if you're in the know its fundamentally a signal chain query, though with a few specifics... The Kit: I have my bass - Line6 Variax 700 plugging into an Ampeg B2RE head which is my preamp and poweramp - running a 4x10 Cab I'm also looking to buy a...
