    What do the numbers mean?

    You are right but I am a diagnosed insomniac.

    Update.... Still waiting for the ELF head. But this BAM has grown on me to the point that it is entering keeper status. Of course this could change once the ELF gets here if it ever does. Seems like a year since I ordered it.

    well I guess part of me kind of says why bother? Just stamp the factory code and year of production. I know they produce gigantic quantities of instruments but from a quality control stand point you would think they would want more accountability.

    Easy enough to find what the year of production is. My Fender MIA P-bass was put together in 2011, I get that. But what do the rest of the numbers mean?

    Another update....I bought a t c electronics BAM200 because I just plain couldn't wait for the ELF. It's still coming but in the mean time I'm pretty much flabbergasted by the BAM. I was thinking that I would just well the BAM when the ELF arrives but now I I'm not so sure.

    I received my 2 110 ELF cabs. But still waiting for the ELF amp. Looks like it will be a substantial wait. In the mean time I hooked them both to my Rootmaster c112 combo to give them a hearing. Whoa to say the least! If I ever play a stadium I'll be all set. Very light cabs. Very solid. Once I...

    Well I pulled the trigger! But not until I actually was able to try an Ampeg Micro CL Stack. Surprisingly I met a bass player right here in my little town. Never knew he was here. I wasn't awed by it. I just couldn't get a clean sound. Maybe it was my ears since they are shot from many years of...

    I do have some experience with Markbass. I once upon a time had a Little Mo 250. At that time I believe I pushed a couple Avatar 2x10 bottoms. That rig left no doubt that everyone in earshot heard my mistakes!

    The problem is the closest place that I could go to try some of the previously mentioned it 250 miles away from me.

    There are just so many choices. Darn good thing that I have a budget. But still it is daunting for this old guy.

    yes couldn't agree more. At one point I felt that speaker area was everything. For about a year I lugged a GO 700th with two Ampeg cabs (1x18 plus a 4x10) That helped lead to a dual decompressivelaminectomy!

    That took me back on a wild ride! Thanks for that......I just dusted off my Aqualung.
