Cab/Head setup for my Rick.

[Chronicle]

so i got my new '06 Rick4003 as you can tell by all the drool on the TB forums
(http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=286579)
So now time to save up for 2 cabs and a head.

I want to take FULL advantage of the stereo output on my Rick.

I'll be having my BOSS Me-50B on my neck pickup and my bridge pickup will be clean.

So any comments on these purchases that i want to make would be appreicated

-GK 800RB Amp head(Whats the difference between Blem and normal?)(And i only need one head for both cabs correct?)

Nice bass. I used to have one just like it.

FYI - I think you would be better served to have this thread in the amps forum...

Need a mod to move this if you can be so kind =]

Unless the 800RB has two channels, which I believe it does not, you need TWO amps to take full advantage of the Ric-O-Sound stereo output. The stereo output allows you to put each pickup through a different channel, so you will need two channels to do it, hence two heads and two cabs.

You're either going to need a dual-channel head, two heads, or two preamps and a dual channel power amp. (along with two cabs).

I have a Ric, but the Ric-O-Sound never gets used. It's kind of a pain to deal with two separate rigs, in all honesty.

Also, Monster Cable isn't worth it. Check out Bayou cables -- Link Removed. Cheaper and better than monster cable, and fast shipping.

yeah i know that much, was looking for info about the head but you included that as well so thanks for answering my question
