Eh, strings have never been why I've brought backups. I'm way more worried about electronic failure.


These days the only thing I use live that has a battery in it is my ebow.

It's part of the reason I've moved back to passives but a couple are necessary for what I do. Otherwise, just my line 6 wireless that takes 2 AA.

Can anyone enlighten me regarding a Hartke HA3500 bass head...can this head be used as a preamp? Thanks

You can use any amp that has a preamp out and send it to a power amp. DO NOT run your speaker out to another amp. The XLR on that might work for sending the signal to a power amp, but you'll need an adapter. You could try the effects out on it too, but I'm not sure if that signal is before or after the EQ.

I would think usually effects send jacks are after EQ. Otherwise they'd be pointless... if it's pre-EQ, then it's no different from running the effects into the input jack.

6. Effect Send jack - Use this 1/4” unbalanced jack to send low impedance (600 ohm) signal from the Model 2000 to a professional outboard effects processor such as a reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, or harmonizer device.* Output level is approximately 0 dB to +4 dB and is post-EQ and post-compression but unaffected by the setting of the Master Volume control. You can also use the Effect Send jack to route signal to an external mixing console or amplifier with an input sensitivity of +4 dB.

Real men never RTFM.

Men who don't want to experience catastrophic failure and/or electrocution often RTFM.

Real Men wrote TFM. Real Men RTFM. Real Men have anger issues with people who don't RTFM before basically asking for directions...because Real Men NEVER ask for directions.

A little help please.

On my 2013 Gibson TBird, the bridge PUP's volume pot seems to have stopped working. Dimed I'm getting nothing and all the way down till I reach 2 I get scratchiness I can hear through the amp but no volume. At 2 the PUP is playing but of course it's about as useless as boobies on a bull.

So that I only have to do this once, what's the best drop in replacement for that pot? OEM? After-market? If you can provide a link that would be great, thanks!
