If Thumpmaster's happy, everybody's happy. Nice loudification rig.

Sorry, Goblin, but your sitch reminds me of the story of the kid who bought spent $4k on a set of 20" machined titanium alloy wheels, then put them on a 1968 Pinto because that's all the money he had left.

Maybe try a used stethoscope?

I just got one new from ebay, and my only bummer were totally crackly-sounding dirty wheels. Had to immediately pry it apart (no biggie if you have jeweler screwdrivers) and put a drop of De-Ox-It on the controls and exercise them to clean the contacts. Fine now. Also, everyone would be...

Also, you can help justify a fEARful build by letting your wife know that your other lesser cabs will immediately be listed Craigslist to defer the costs... and you won't be lying, because you probably WILL sell that old "junk" shortly.

Thank you guys. The Vox Amplug is exactly what I was babbling about. Your brother's weird contraption too RandomBox. Can he make me one?

I'm embarrassed at my ignorance here, but I'm old. Has anyone found just a simple connective device that I can 1. plug my bass into, 2. plug my earbuds into, 3. Then plug those into my Windows phone/music 4. just practice bass lines along with the music period. I spent a little...

You'll enjoy this rig/power. Enjoy the thump, and remember the volume controls are your friend. BTW, pay no attention to those who look down their nose and ask "why do you need so much power?" Oldsters in this forum are sure they're bass gods, and know better than everyone else. My humble...

It was a fine amp for me for a long time... never any problems... other than I couldn't be heard on stage or out there. Wasn't until a new rig that I sounded "professional".

Inexpensive? Check out the Carvin Bx250 [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] $279 and a decent little brain. Sweepable parametric EQ. About 3 pounds. I got one just to take along as a back up for anyone who might need an emergency amp. I've got the 250, the BX500, and the BX1500 for...

To hear someone say a rig is "loud as hell" is a worthless consideration... usually biased owner-aggrandizement. The Carvin will be "made in the USA" by undocumented workers; the SWR will be hecho en Mexico by legal workers. Whatever jazzes your priority. I will say I'm cautiously impressed...

You built your 4x10 and you're proud of it - why not build a Fearful? 45-50 pounds with stunning clarity, and depth. A truly professional sounding rig.

You'll be fine with 15 amps. Unless you also plug in a few space heaters and a waffle iron.

Your original question was to Horn or Not to Horn? It's entirely up to your own taste. Many of the fEARful guys think it's crazy talk to consider not having a horn... suit yourself. But as a bassist, I personally have absolutely no use for horn-high frequencies; they're nothing but trouble...

Carvin BX500 - 500W at 4 ohms. - $349 + $19 shipping. I've been really happy with Carvin lately. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
