    Acoustic B200/B115 vs GK MB115

    Agree with the previous posters. I've been an Acoustic user for nearly 35-years. Quality is reasonable considering their low price. I'm using various configurations of B200H & B600H with B115 & B410 cabs. The B410 certainly has better punch... but, the B115 low-end is useful as well. So, it...

    DIY Highpass filter issue

    A Far-Field receiver's response will generally be accentuated by the following: 1) A conductor having an impedance of approximately 300-ohms. This matches the impedance of "free-space" in broadcasting and essentially forms an antenna with a gain of at least -10 dB. Which is sufficient to...

    How Wide Is Your Bridge?

    For example: Fender = 2.25" (measured from string 1 to 4 center). Please include the make & model of your Bass. Also, whether or not the bridge is standard or after-market. Thanks! Steve
