Thanks for the suggesiton - hadn't spotted the classifieds and I see there's a bass max on there... Thanks for your advice!

Hmm...looking at the spec it appears my amp's impedance is 100k ohms, so looks like the answer is I probably do need a pre-amp to get a decent sound. Looks like I'll just bite the bullet and go for the K&K set-up including the pre-amp. Shame all gear costs twice as much in the UK as the...

Thanks for the reply. I'm really pretty dumb about amplification (hence having a rig with as few dials and knobs as possible!), so I've probably just gotten confused in the various threads I've read on the subject. I'll have a look at impedance and see if that throws up any concerns...cheers

If I were to fit a pickup, for the sake of argument a K&K Bass Max, to my DB would I need a pre-amp to run it through my 500w Hartke LH500 head/Yamaha BBT410S 4x10 cab? I don't know much about outputs, etc but I gather DB pickups deliver a massive output compared to electric bass pickups, and I...

I'm looking at trying to get a low-priced, hard-wearing head for small-medium gigs and regular practice and I've found a couple of Marshalls in my price range. Brand new, there's the DB450H which is 300w into 4 ohm, costs about £270 and will, of course, have the usual warranty, etc. Used...

Hi, I've currently got an Orange Terror Bass on pre-order which should, if legend be true, be able to output 500w into either 4 or 8 ohms. From my old setup, I've got a 250w RMS 8ohm yamaha 4 x 10. I'm wondering whether the 500w head into a 250w cab will be a good or bad thing, and whether it'll...

Haha, yeah, the amp I had which blew up was a Behringer. Lesson learned. Unfortunately the cab went with the head, so I'm looking for cab advice too! Thanks for the suggestions

Hi all, first post so sorry if I've posted in the wrong place or anything. Anyway, having just sold my old bass setup (the ill-fated Yamaha BBT500H digital amp and matching 4x12) in favour of concentrating on double bass, I've foolishly gone and joined another hard rock band and need to get...
