    Squire VM J Bass Wiring Mods

    I have has my VM77 J bass for a few years now but I'm not in love with the tone. I usually run each volume pot full on and the tone knob dialed back to about half. I find hat is the only real usable sound settings. I was hoping to modify the electronics a little. After some research I think I...

    Eden D410XLT and???

    I was fortune enough to find a Eden D410XLT for a good price. It is the 4 ohm version. I am looking for recommendations on a second cab. I push my rig with a Crown XLS1500 so impedance is not really a concern. I am interested in the D212XLT cabs. I found an 8 ohm that I can currently afford. Is...

    Crown XLS1500 and BBE B MAX

    So after a few months I finally decided to pull the trigger on the Crown XLS1500. I believe it will suite my needs pretty well and at an affordable price point it was hard to pass up. I will be running the XLS1500 into two custom built 2x15 4ohm cabs using the BBE BMAX as a preamp. Excluding the...

    Where do amps go when they die?

    I have a GK Backline 600 as a backup amp to my backup amp. I was having trouble with the FX loop so I sent it to a local amp tech. 2 months later I got a call saying it would be $200 to repair so I told them to just send it back to me and charge a bench fee (no repairs performed). I got the amp...

    Hello, I am in the market for a power amp for my new rig and it looks like the Crown XLS1500 fits my needs perfectly. After thoroughly reading through the users manual I cant seem to grasp how to run ONE input (signal from my preamp) to TWO outputs(stereo mode to each of my cabs). I have two...

    2x15 Cab Full Stack

    Hello, I have been kicking around the idea of building TWO 2x15 cabs to create a 4x15 full stack. I know it sounds rediculous but I like the idea. My initial question is: Should I use 16 ohm speakers in parallel for each cab or 4 ohms in series for each cab. I would like to stick with Eminence...

    Preamp with B2RE

    Hello, so my backup rig is an Ampeg B2RE and I just ordered the BBE BMAX preamp. Should I plug the BMAX into the "Effects Return" or the "Power Amp In" sections. I understand that if using the fx return, the Ampeg will still be coloring my signal, and if i use the power amp in, the Ampeg will...

    Wireless Unit. AKG SR40 MINI PRO

    I think I am posting this in the correct location. Please correct me if I am wrong. So, I purchased the AKG MINI wireless system and honestly, it works great. Well worth the price; however, the rack mount adapters for these units are impossible to find and if you do find them, they are on...

    GK 700RB-II

    Well I am the new owner of a GK 700RB-II and a Gator 3U shallow rack. I picked everything up for $440. Is that a reasonable price? I sold my 1001RB because I was GASing for some studio equipment and went with a used Backline 600 that died on me so I ended up getting the 700RB as my new big toy...

    Amp Died!! Replacement Suggestion??

    To make a long story short the fx loop on my GK Backline 600 crapped out, sent it to the shop, $275 was the estimate, I guess there was more problems than I though (its a very reputable amp tech that I know would not rip me off) so Im in the market for a new or used amp. I had a GK1001rb and...

    OK, so unfortunately I had to sell my 1001RB and replace it with a used Backline 600. I install it in my rack, use the patch-bay to send signal to my BBE sonic Maximizer and then return it to the amp. I also use the "tuner" jack to send signal to my rack-mount tuner...Only problem is the volume...
