    Genz Benz Neox 212t - crossover bulb specs?

    Hi all, Cabs not been used for years so I've taken it apart to clean the mould out and refoam the walls etc. There are two clip holders for protection bulbs/lamps - one has a single in it, and then other has a double unit that looks to be made from two soldered together. The double unit is...

    10 Songs to learn....

    Hi all, I once read a thing written by the guitarist Paul Gilbert. It was a list of ten songs which he said if you learned them all note for note, would give you a great grounding in lots of areas of guitar playing. These days, I play bass nearly exclusively, and wondered if anyone would...

    A question for the speaker experts - PA content, however....

    Hi all, Just looking for a bit of advice about a 2nd hand PA rig that I've seen on eBay here in the UK. It uses Precision Devices drivers, and to me at least, appears to be a bit of a bargain. Link here: eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace Any opinions on this? I know it's not...

    I just bought a GB Streamliner 600......

    Hi all, A moment of eBay weakness, fuelled by GAS and a slow day at work - what can I say? So I've got a Streamliner 600 on the way. I'm in shock. I was looking at the Fusion 500 and thought it made a lot of sense, but then I read a lot about the 600 being a more traditional, round...

    Basslite 2x12" DIY question - pulling the trigger!

    Hi all, I've stopped trying to decide what's going to be the best solution to my bass requirements. I know it's probably going to be a Barefaced cab of some description, but I don't know which one yet.... However, I've got a DIY itch that needs scratching, so I'm gonna have a crack at...

    Bridging an Ashdown Little Giant 1000

    Hi All, As you may know, the LG1000 has 2x 500w 4ohm power amps. There was a thread a little while ago about this unit and someone suggested that the power amp outputs could be combined to give 1000w into 8 ohms. As I'm looking at a Barefaced Big Baby cab, this is of great interest to me...

    DIY Kappalite 3015LF 'sub' - good idea?

    Hi all, I'm currently running a Trace Elliot RAH600SMX head into a new Schroeder 15PL (the tiny one!) The rig is great and almost replaces what my Warwick 6x10 could do, yet all fits in the boot of my little car. I recently cured a buzzing grille problem on the Schro, and all is well...

    Lightweight 15" cab with some real low end?

    Hi all, I recently got hold of a Schroeder 15PL (the very smallest one) and I have been very happy with it. It has virtually replaced my Warwick 6x10", and I can fit my entire rig in my small car boot now, which is great. However, it's true what they say about some of the Schroeder stuff -...

    Ideas for 2x12" cab DIY build

    Hi all, I'm looking to build a cab in the near future. The reason for the DIY approach is that my car is quite small and regular shaped cabs don't fit in the 'boot'. I have a Ford Puma! I think a vertical 2x12" cab will be ideal, although I am yet to confirm the maximum measurements. I...

    Just looked inside my Warwick 6x10"....

    Hi all, Started noticing a loud vibration coming from my cab, somewhere from the right hand side (not the front) and quite near the top. All the speakers sound ok so I thought maybe it was some internal bracing that had come loose. I just took the grill off and took the top right speaker...

    Micro POG with 2 rigs - awesome!

    Hi all, I bought a Micro POG the other day, with the intention of running the octave up ouput into a distorted guitar amp for octave rifferey goodness. And it works. Oh my GOD it works. :bassist: Direct output straight to my bass rig, octave up output to Orange Tiny Terror with some...

    Jazz and Stingray pickups in one bass?

    Hi all, My main bass is a bit of a beater and I love him dearly. It's an american Jazz copy and it does the job quite nicely for me, despite weighing nearly 12lbs with its swamp ash body. Luckily, I'm a big guy! Anyways, i've been thinking of buying a Stingray - either a Ray34 or a used...

    Why is it so much harder to choose a bass rig than it is a guitar rig!!

    Hi all, I'm in the process of deciding what to buy for my first 'proper' bass rig, and the choice is baffling me! With guitar it's so much easier I think. Bluesers - Fender Twin. Rockers - Marshall. Metallers - 5150/Dual Rec. Ok, I'm simplifying a little, but you get my point... With...

    New rig based around my Warwick 6x10"

    Hi all, Having recently thrown in my lead guitarist cards and moved onto bass full time, I thought I might like to upgrade my rig a little.... I currently play a decent Jazz copy into a cheap Ashdown Mag 300 head and Warwick 6x10" cab. I'm after a nice growly modern rock tone, and of...

    Pickup question that I should probably know the answer to!

    Hi all, I have recently acquired a nice Jazz bass copy and am very pleased with it. It sounds great in EITHER the neck or bridge pickups alone, but when i increase the volume of the second pickup the bass end dies away and the sound is thin. I'm assuming that one of the pickups is wired...

    Peavey TNT 115 combo Vs. Schroeder 1212L

    Hi all, I'm looking for a lightweight setup for my MOR band. At the moment I have a Peavey TNT and this is adequate for my needs. I'm pretty much running it as loud as it will go, on the neck pickup of my jazz, with the tone rolled off. It gives a nice warm sound and just about does the job...

    A low cost RATM bass rig idea?

    Hi all, My first post here! Been playing guitar for 16 years and had a bass too for most of that time. Recently packed my rock band in and picked up the bass in earnest. Been doing local jams, depping in all styles of band - basically trying to learn to play properly and earn my dues...
