    4x10's or 4x12's?

    The Genz-Benz 2x12 by itself. Your head into the 2x12 will do everything you mentioned that you want. The only 4x12 bass cab I have used was a Peavey TVX-4x12. More cab that you need, by far and it weighs as much as Long Island.

    Amplification suggestions. What amp or amp/cab do you play?

    Home practice? Rumble 40 If I ever gig out again? 400rb into a Genz-Benz 2x12 neo.

    Upgraded speaker of Rumble 15 really rumbles now!

    The 40 doesn't need a better speaker, IMHO.

    Options to find somebody to fix my Rumble bass amp

    Call Fender. I bought a non-working Rumble 200 as a project. Found the problem to be the ICE power chip to be the issue. Called Fender to buy a new one. They asked for the serial number, found the amp to be still under warranty and sent me a new amp, even after I told them I bought it non...

    Have a question about a Peavey Combo 300. Should have been asked in the Peavey Club? Anyone that wants to point me in right area would be appreciated.

    Loud enough for most bar gigs, or put a BW-115 under it and you can play anywhere. (Put an 1820 under it and stand off to the side!)

    Musicman Big Al Club

    They are the same/similar to the EBMM Sterling. At least mine feel the same. ** edit** They feel nothing like the necks on my Stingray or Bongos.

    Guitar Amp Head Through Bass Cabinet??

    I once used a Crate Vintage club 50 guitar head, into a B15s cab, loaded with an Altec 421A. It worked well for a small bar gig. (50 people)

    No Wonder So Many People Are Playing Bass These Days

    It has just 4 strings. How hard can it be?

    Bongo vs Dingwall

    IMHO, EBMM 5 string necks are a bit thin (side to side), but your finger muscles quickly learn to fret inward a millionth of an inch to keep the G string from slipping off the side of the fretboard. The Bongo has the most versatile preamp I have ever used. Johnny Lee Long just did a video on how...

    SPECTOR® Owners Club

    I came across a Spector NS2000B in a pawn shop last week. Blue in color, one soap bar pickup (EMGhz), passive. This bass was hammered, abused and put away dirty. Because I like a project, I bought it. I disassembled it completely and fixed everything that was wrong. The list was extensive. Now...

    Does anyone make 1+3 Headstocks reverse MM style?

    I think Hamer did. Jack Blades used to play one. I can't find a picture yet. 45 second mark.

    Rob Allen Mouse alternatives?

    I second the Carvin AC40/AC50 Quite a nice bass.

    Amp Purchase Paralysis

    Of those choices? The first one. My choice? MB800 (or 500) Fusion and a Genz-Benz 2x12 neo

    Wood type based on 1 picture?

    This was my choice with the supplied photo.

    Solid advice on choosing between an Acoustic B300C 1x15 Combo, or a B300HD + 4x10 Cab?

    I have used a first generation Acoustic 200 combo from GC back when they first came out. It sounded good, was plenty loud and never gave me any cause for concern. For what you describe, the Acoustic 300 combo will be more than enough.

    Fender Stage 800 cutting out, can’t turn Wi-Fi off

    Mike, at Ye Olde Music in Ladson, will know who to contact for the warranty repair if none of the options @agedhorse gave you are close enough.

    Looking for a Spector

    FWIW, the Euro series with the TX-TW pickups and the Tonepump are my choice. Pickups can be single coil or humbucking and mated with the Tone Pump make for my favorite Spector tone. My friend Hal Jordan Ketofsky on the Spector bass. YMMV tho.

    Olive green bass - yay, or nay?

    I vote for the original olive green The original Musicman Olive Green was this. With green Martini olives in the glass.

    Another "Are my hands too small" thread

    FWIW, I have normal sized hands but short fingers. Size large gloves fit my palms but the fingers are way too long, medium size gloves fit the length of my fingers, but I have to cut the sides of the gloves to get my palms in. The MTD Super 5, with its asymmetrical neck and 19mm spacing seems...

    Possible blown fuse in Rumble 40

    Fender is very good at warranty service. I would call their customer service line and give them the serial number. You might be surprised to find out it is still under warranty.

    what cab for a GK RB-400?

    1986 G-K 400rb into a Genz-Benz neo 2x12 is a killer combo, a Peavey 2x15D does a smoking job too!

    GK MB800 Fusion vs GB1001RB Mark 2

    @Plucky is right asking what 4x12 you bought. I was using a Peavey TVX4x12 (4ohm) during this time. I have owned a 1001rb first gen 2x10 combo and a EA 2x10 under it. It was stupid powerful and had great tone. I was using (and still own) a 400rb from 1984. This pairing (TVX and 400rb) proved...

    Spector Bass - wireless device compatibility

    Both the X-vive and the Lekato dongle style had issues with my Spectors and my MTD super 5. My 20 year old Audio-Technica and my Shure J1 belt pack units work fine. No more dongle style wireless units for me.

    Woody, It is a Fernandes Atlas. Japanese made. Kind of a Sage green metallic in color. Passive and the output is strong.

    Perhaps I have caused a problem. GK issue.

    All 18v basses sound fine. I believe this case is closed!

    Perhaps I have caused a problem. GK issue.

    Tested again this morning. MTD Super 5, Spector Euro5, and EBMM SR5 all ring true and clear. Trim pot in the lapel pack at 40%, which never was moved throughout this issue. Thanks again. P.S. Gonna check the 18v basses later.

    Perhaps I have caused a problem. GK issue.

    Output voltage is about 15.5 Center positive. Used a power supply for a Shure J1 we had in the shop. Same power, same result. Still no joy. Until I found the AT belt pack switch had become finicky and with the switch in the 'on' position sometimes it has to be "jiggled" to make continuous...
