    Flats

    When installing flats, do I need to cut the string length similar to when installing rounds? Do I also need to adjust the intonation, I will be using the same string gauges as the rounds. Thanks in advance

    Any comments from those who know Electronics Pick Ups - SC vs HB (hiss, switching) Would an outboard pre-amp be required? Neck maintenance and intonation (tuning) Any other thoughts? I've always wanted one and may have a chance. Problem; can't try before I buy. Thanks in advance.

    Gibson Grabber II

    Looks like Gibson is making a limited run of these, looks pretty neat. I started with a old beat up EB scort scale back in the early 80's but never did play a grabber. I have read some threads that loved these instruments, I guess one could say "Grab a Grabber" kewl.....

    Still learning

    Help if possible. I use a chorus pedal sometime and run my bass through it and then through my amp. I have a new amp which has effect loop jacks (send and receive). This may sound goofy, but can I use this pedal with these jacks or do I continue to hook up as I have done in the past? Tks

    Watts ?

    Greetings, lets say I have a amp that has the following power rating: 175 watts/8 Ohms, 300 watts/4 Ohms. If I was to opt for a 4 OHM single cab to max out power would it be better to go with a 250 Watt, 300 Watt or 400 Watt cab? Tks

    Total Output

    Please respond if you can. I have an amp that will put out 175 watts @ 8 ohms and 300 total @ 4 ohms with the extension cab. Can I max the AMP out by using a single 4 ohm 300 (min) Watt Cab as opposed to using two 8 ohm cabs? Thanks in advance
