I just read through the "Ohms & Impedance" thread in the stickies, and I think I understand it all now. Thank you guys so much for the help!

I currently don't have access to the cabinet, but when I get home I'll be sure to check. What exactly does impedance matter? All I understand is that I should match amp and cabinet impedance, but I don't know why.

I just checked the owner's manual, which says it's 8 ohms only, but the site says something different. I figure I should believe the manual.

I'm not entirely sure what the case is... Here's the website for the cabinet: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

The impedance is either 4 or 8 ohms.

Great. Well thanks guys. I appreciate the help. I think I'll pick it up then :)

I've recently switched from playing on combo bass amps to actually having a stack. I currently own an Eden WTX500 and a 4x10 1000W cabinet. However, someone is offering me a really good deal on an SVT-4 Pro head, which they say is 1200W mono-bridged at 4 ohms, or "2x600W". I don't know what...

I do notice a huge difference in fretboard wood. My basses all have rosewood fretboards, but I think I'd prefer maple or ebony for my next one. I have several different fretboard woods on my guitars.

Well thanks a lot for the help guys. I think I'll end up choosing a body that looks nice then... Since I have your attention though, do you guys have any recommendation for 5 string pickups? I want to make sure the pickup will actually pick up the low B (or A). I like the poppy yet deep tone of...

Thanks so much for all the replies. I'll take a look at all those guides when I get off work. The pickups in the Schecter are in fact the passive EMGHZs. I've loved the sound of the Bartolini's I've played. Basically, the wood has little to no difference for tone? Is the same true for neck wood?

Hello all, new here. I did a little searching, but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm looking to build a Warmoth Gecko 5, and I can't quite decide which body wood I'd want. I've played electric guitar for ten years, and in that time I've played hundreds of guitars. I found...
