    Reliable/toneful power amp to pair with a Sansamp RBI?

    @agedhorse I'm in Davis too! Small world. Can someone just show me what to buy? I have no experience with power amps and the like and am also not confident in modding a cable :/ A picture of what to buy would help me greatly as well. Apologies again, but I am also unclear about +1/+2 and all...

    Thanks @walterw and @Downunderwonder ! Forgive my ignorance, will this work for bridging the two red posts? https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Speaker-Cable-Gold-Plated-Banana/dp/B07FDCGP9Q/ref=sr_1_16?keywords=banana%2Bplug&qid=1565678528&s=gateway&sr=8-16&th=1

    Reliable/toneful power amp to pair with a Sansamp RBI?

    Alright I picked up a Crown XLS1000! Found one locally for a good deal so I couldn't pass it up. Thanks again everyone for their 2 cents. Now, I need to learn how to use this freakin' thing! It's gonna be the RBI > Crown > Mesa PH 1000. I don't know about bridging, crossover mode...

    Reliable/toneful power amp to pair with a Sansamp RBI?

    Is that a huge downside to the XLS? As for the XTI, is it not really a plug-and-play thing then? Or is the advanced EQ the only thing a PC is required for? QSC GX5? I can't seem to find one for less than $260 right now. The other options I've listed cost less. Maybe the GX5 is worth the extra...

    Reliable/toneful power amp to pair with a Sansamp RBI?

    Alright these are pretty much my options: Crown XLS 1000 Crown XTI 1000 Crown XLS 1002 QSC RMX 1450 The XLS 1000 is the cheapest and there's also one locally. Could someone weigh in on these options and also tell me the difference between the XLS 1000 and the XTI 1000? Remember this is to...

    What do we think of the Crown XTI-1000? Did those come out before or after the XLS's ?

    Reliable/toneful power amp to pair with a Sansamp RBI?

    Hey folks, I know there's a few threads on this already but I wanted to get some more current opinions. I just picked up a Sansamp RBI and am looking for some power amp advice. It's going to be played through a Mesa Powerhouse cab with the 4x10s and 1x15. Fender P-Bass, picked, for a kinda...

    Mike Dirnt P bass Club - both Fender and Squier welcome.

    The inspiration was his '69 P-Bass "Stella." I don't know if they still market it this way but they used to say the neck shape was based off his "favorite 1969 p-bass." Found this quote too "My signature bass is a big part of the sound of the new record—it’s between that and my ’71 P-Bass...

    They both have the cloth wire too!! I have the '59 pickup in my 2004 non-RW Dirnt and love it. Would love to know if this was secretly the same pickup. Looking forward to it!
