    Help with Pairing Orange Terror Bass With DIY 1x15 Cab

    I've been building my own 1x15 bass cab and have been trying to figure out how to wire the speaker to a jack box, as well as connecting to the terror bass properly. I'm confident in all the wattage and impedance lining up, it's more the connections I'm confused about. I've read that wiring a...

    SVT 4-PRO & Splitting FX

    Hey SVT-4 PRO users out there! I recently bought one and I seriously really love that amp! It has tons of features I was always looking for! Now what caught my attention is that I saw in the back that there is a Wet and Dry D.I. out. Does that mean that I could split the FX from my pedalboard...

    I finally get it! Why I come to TalkBass. How about you?

    Yesterday, I had a busy day. I drove to NJ to meetup with a fellow TBer from NY. He was buying an upright bass from me. Really good player and heck a nice guy. After the deal was done, we just stood there talking bass and gigs and all things music. It was cool. As I headed home, I got a...

    Pedalboard ideas

    Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has some ideas for my new pedalboard build. As you can see from the picture my current one is very battered and my skills at the time weren’t great anyway.

    Connecting Mesa Powerhouse bass cabs

    So I have this Ampeg SVT III (non-PRO) rackmount head, churns out 300W @ 4ohms. I also own a Mesa/Boogie 4x10 Powerhouse bass cab, rated 8ohms.

    Hello, I will be living abroad for a few months and since I cannot carry much stuff I am trying to figure out a way so that I can connect my active bass to my MacBook Pro 2017 laptop.

    Rig Hookup Help?

    Hey guys, I decided to build a split pre/power rig and I clearly have no idea what I’m doing. Where do I connect the preamp into the power amp? And where do I connect the power amp to the cab? I’m also only using a single 410 cab. Mono or Stero (keeping Channel B on 0)? Photos attached. Thanks!

    Can I run a microphone through my bass amp?

    We have a Fender Rumble 350 bass amp that is not being used. We are wondering if we can run our singer through it, without a PA system. Simply a studio microphone straight into the "line out". Might be redundant, but were new to music hardware and wanted to know before plugging anything in and...

    What is the rationale for DC power adapter connections to be Center Negative?

    The obvious choice would seem to be that the larger exposed outer surface of the plug, when unplugged, would be negative (ground) as in most other applications , rather than being the hot side. The idea being to minimize an inadvertent short between the high side and ground.

    Jerzy Drozd channels the Jazz Bass/Carvin/Music Man connections

    So what does everyone think of this new iteration? I see connections to all the above things mentioned. Fender Jazz, Carvin Jazz, Music Man etc. I'm personally not a fan of the upswept horn ala' Carvin Jazz it's just not a look I dig. But the dual MM location PU's is cool. I'm sure it sounds...
