Thanks to alla yall for the helpful advice, and the fascinating digression into amplifiers from another dimension!

Thanks!

So if your amp has to be rated at 4 ohms to safely drive two 8-ohm speakers hooked up together, what happens if you hook up four 4-ohm speakers? Me no smart...help stupid head!

Thanks for the info, Pep. I think the amp is 120 watts at 8 ohms and 200 watts at 4 ohms. What are the differences between guitar speakers and bass speakers if they are rated the same for power handling and impedance? Are guitar speakers not built to handle the low frequencies and liable to...

I went to your site. Dig your sound. Just out of curiosity, which of the two guitarists is the dick? I hope it's the guy who wears his hat backwards. That's my pet peeve...wearing your hat backward (if you're not a mechanic).

Hey everyone. I just picked up a couple of empty speaker cabinets. They carry two 10-inch speakers each and have a port that runs the length of the cab. I took two 16-ohm speakers out of a Peavey guitar amp and installed them in one cabinet, and plan to do the same with the other cabinet. I...

Does a Boss compression/sustainer sound okay if you plug your bass into it?

What causes dead spots? Can they be fixed? Thanks

Great advice! Thank you.

I usually play sax and guitar, but recently signed on to play bass with a cover band doing classic rock. We've rehearsed together about six times and played our second public performance last Saturday night. During the second half of "Sympathy For the Devil" the index finger of my right hand...

A bandmate just gave me a Gallien-Kruger speaker cabinet. He didn't want it because the sound was cutting in and out. I took it home and looked in the back...just a bad connection on the input jack. But I don't know anything about these. It was designed for guitars, right? How does it...

I think it would be safe to say that the reason I'm still playing at the age of 60 is that I keep chasing that feeling I got long ago when a disparate group of individuals would lock into something beyond themselves and become one through music. That sound, that feeling.

CHOPSTICK! (Thanks to everybody for your sage advice. You were all right!)

Thanks to everybody for responding. 3506String, I think you may be right. The extended frequency range and clarity of the sound may have seduced my ear. I'm an experienced musician with plenty of time spent onstage, but I'm only a novice bassplayer at this point. I was thinking of using my...

Ah yes...the magic smoke! What's the likelihood of it's appearance?
