If I take both of mine tonight(Fri), I'll do the same(sorta): 200c SEND>100 RETURN aimed at drummer.
Enjoy your gig tonight. I’d say ya have enough to move some air!
G’morning, Tele! I know all about what you’re saying. Been reading in the RB thread and took a look over at zZounds tonight. It looks as if the 115 is available with the 112 coming in on the 27th, if I remember correctly.
My birthday is in nine days and that no-interest purchase is calling me by my first name. The question is, which one?
I’m kinda thinking the 12 because it’ll fit my needs better, but the 15 will also work and make it more gig-worthy. But, it’s heavier, won’t sound as good in a smaller room as the 12, and doesn’t offer any more power in 8 ohms.
Check Reverb as well because there are some places selling the 115 there too.

Yes! They're neon reds....my favs!
I currently have them on 3 basses (another white Thunderbird, and a NO T-bird Pro 5), and I have a set of Black Beauties on a red metallic Thunderbird
It has! All 6 of my 'birds work well with it!
Only thing is, the Kosmos-C doesn't play nice with my 5-string T-bird - but, is it really necessary at that point?

Between DR Neons and Black Beauties ... Black Beauties for me. Used the both including the pink Neons
the PJB BG-400 and C4 are to scale
the Stingray is a 79 and I'm the original owner.

I love that pickguard! Very nice
I like the Black Beauties, too - in certain applications. They're a bit too bright for what I want out of most of my 'birds.
AFAIK, they're the only K3 coated DR strings that are stainless, instead of nickel plated (under the coating).
But that's why they're on my Custom Shop "Redbird", it's very dark toned, and they brighten it up just right.
VOLUME will be ~10(GAIN-9ish). Plenty for the room.

If it hasn't been mentioned already, Guitar Center has Ampeg BA-108v2s, BA-110v2s, and BA-112v2s in stock at clearance prices.
I like that they have a mono 1/4" Aux input (as well as the usual stereo 3.5mm input) - and an Aux Level control. Versatile little boxes, especially for practice. I plan to use that 1/4" Aux input to play-test preamp and effects pedals.

OK. Played the gig Friday night. As hinted[^somewhere], the chain was 67 THUNDERBIRD>R200c-to 'crowd'>R100-to drummer. Great combination for that room. Settings as above + BASS-10, LM-2, HM-3, TR-noonish(maybe shoulda been @ 11. Oh, well).

Gig Report: "Bluegrass" Jam (subset of my old, old, old group)
Time: today 9am - 2pm
Location: Sam Drucker's General Store in Pixley - outdoors, on covered porch
Occasion: Farmer's Market & Craft Show
Equipment: me: Fender Aged Cherry Starcaster bass (BEAD) & li'l foxy Voxy VX50BA amp
It couldn't have gone better! Reunited (and it feels so good) with people not seen since over a year ago. Some had jammed at last month's Market & Show, but this was a first for others of us. The large porch fan was offset by the window A/C exhaust blowing on us, so hearing was dicey at best. Yet, lots of fun!
Sam's cook brought it on home to us and treated the band to their lunch menu. Bonus! But very appreciated. I got the mustardy cheeseburger I'd been smelling thru the window A/C all day. Mrs. Dog sold enough stuff to pay the band royally, but declined to do so. She bought her burger. I know, I know, "pix or it didn’t happen"! And I'd be happy to consider it just a fig newton of my imagination. But, my aching, outta shape body keeps reminding me that it did, in fact, happen! Hoo boy!
Nap time!

others: 1-3 acoustic guitars, 2-3 fiddles, 1 dobro,
My lazy [self] woke up praying for rain, so I wouldn't have to load up Mrs. Dog's sewing crafts into the buckboard and coax the mule down the road from our Mayberry home over to Pixley. But the sun came out so pertty that I began to look forward to it!PA: 1 Bose tower w/bass module & 2 mics for singers & fiddle solos

Need help!
As some may recall, my Peavey Max 115 died so I had the combo converted into a bass cabinet. When the fella converted it he did not hook up the tweeter but only the 15" driver. So the can is an 8 Ohms cab currently. I am hoping that I can reconnect the tweeter to the output jack so that the total cab will be 4 Ohms again. I've never done something like this before, and I know folks here have experience, so any advice and help would be welcome. I'd take it back the shop to get it done, but it went out of business. The next closest shop is a five hour drive away.
So a few questions:
1. Will hooking up the tweeter convert the cab to 4 Ohms?
2. I see the tweeter has a positive and negative poles. Do I wire them positive to positive, and negative to negative?
3. Can I use any wire found at a hardware store or do I need special wire?
4. Is it best to connect the tweeter to the Jack or to the 15" driver?
Thank you in advance!

Pink strings on that bass for the visual win.Between DR Neons and Black Beauties ... Black Beauties for me. Used the both including the pink Neons
the PJB BG-400 and C4 are to scale
the Stingray is a 79 and I'm the original owner.

That rig is ready to rock...or teach others how to rock, whichever you prefer. The last time I saw a bass that looked that solid was one of my buddy's mid to late-seventies P bass in a natural finish like yours. It took two of us to lift it out of the case, but whoo-ee, that thing could hold down the bottom!
I love that pickguard! Very nice
I like the Black Beauties, too - in certain applications. They're a bit too bright for what I want out of most of my 'birds.
AFAIK, they're the only K3 coated DR strings that are stainless, instead of nickel plated (under the coating).

Beautiful pic, KQ! I'd be on the lookout for an elderly Florida gentleman who loves him some T'Birds and may knock on your door when you least expect it and ask you if he can play 'em. If they were lefties I'd join him!
Loved the images, thanks for sharing with your tribe here. That looked like a great place to play. Of course, I'm from Iowa, we don't have palm trees. I can see where a 100 or two would be plenty or maybe even a 200 alone. angled so the drummer can feel it. Looked like you had plenty of shrimp to eat!
Thanks for the heads-up on a great series of combos. If you own a combo, feel free to post a pic and I'll hand you over a genuine membership number, free of charge. I'm thinking the prices of the BA-series may begin to drop as soon as the new Rocket Bass series becomes more available.
As usual, I should've kept reading. I see you lowered your high-mids a bit. All that wood made it a tad bright, huh? Did ya engage your Vintage button? I'm gonna predict yes, but if I read further down the answer will probably be there.
