    What would you consider excessive?

    I have a GK 700 rbII head and the manual says to use the -14db cut if the peak light comes on excessively. I play with my P Bass turned all the way up (with a pick) and while I wouldn't exactly say it comes on excessively, I would say it comes on maybe....intermittently? Anyway, what harm...

    A quick question

    I am running a GK 700rbII head (480 watts to woofer 50 watts to tweeter at 4 ohms) to a GK SBX 410+ (8 ohms and 800 watts) and a GK SBX 115 (8 ohms at 400 watts). I play my American Standard P Bass almost exclusively. Does anyone else use this set up? It seems to work great. My only concern...

    Question about speaker replacement

    I blew one of my speakers in my GK SBX 410 (8 ohm cab 400 watts). I replaced two of the speakers (the blown one and it's mate) with comparable speakers (same ohms only 150 watts instead of 100) and it sounds great. My question is, the new speakers are better quality and sound louder than the...

It worked just as everyone said it would, but apparently there is another problem that I attributed to the poor shielding. When you bump the bass (especially by the battery cavity) the bass crackles like something is...

    Tuss rod question for Mike Dirnt P Bass

    The trussrod on my MD P Bass is much harder to turn than my Jaguars. Could this be (at least partly) due to how much thicker the neck is or am I in trouble?:confused:

    GK Bi-amp/Full Range Question

    Hi Guys, Just a quick question. I haven't been able to find the answer in other threads. I like the tone of bi-amping when I finger pick but it is too over the top (pick noise wise) when I play with a pick. When I turn the tweeter down to compensate, it sounds dull. I play with a pick more...

    Question on my Jag and P Bass

    As mentioned above I have a Fender Jaguar and a Mike Dirnt P Bass. I normally gig with my Jag and bring the Dirnt for a back up, but lately have been using both and I've noticed that the P Bass is much louder than the Jag (when the Jag is in passive mode). My question is, is this normal? For...
