The ohmage rating of cabs is at best a useful fiction. The resistance of the cabinet changes depending upon the frequency(s) being put through it.Piece ofCraftsman multimeter will not give a reading on the ohm setting. Tried all three cabs. Unfortunately, my old, cheap radio shack one has a minimum 1k ohm.
I thought the term 'redneck' was now 'person of limited genetic diversity'.Hey now, we live in an enlightened age.
I think the preferred term now is "necks of color".
wrong, you are referring to the impedance, not the resistance….
But still should be able to measure it. Open loop is all I get on any cab regardless of scale.
Hey, I resemble that remark.
I've been told by our singer/guitard that I'm the designated stage banter guy. Now every time I head to rehearsal I think of new, wackier ways to introduce my bandmates. As foe me, I still stick with "and I'm Haji, Nashville's Certified Worst Bassist(tm)". Sadly I've heard some stuff lately that leads me to believe people are gonna try to make me defend my title.Watching this video, I realized the "cure" for one of our biggest gripes: limited camera time for the bass player.
Cameras will always focus on lead singers, of course; on guitarists, at least when playing solos; drummers with all their flailing around back there; and usually some face time for anybody singing. Therefore, if the bassist wants to be videoed, have a mic. Even if all the bassist does is lip synch(or sing unison 'answering' lines as the 2 guitarists in this band did). And don't stand behind someone else.
Of course, @TBird1958, you can also be the BL.
That pretty much guarantees 'face(legs?)time'.

Going to have to remember that.
I became the banter guy 'cos the other guys don't like to do it and it's better than dead air-which seems to happen a lot(one guitarist's guitar seems to go outta tune every other song).
She's not that smart. Shoot, she's only got a 100 points on me so we're pretty much the same.
Better hope I never move a little farther South you won't be able use that one any more.
I remember watching him play the "William Tell Overture" on an electric 12 banger when I was a kid &
Indeed, I remember seeing him do this rendition when I was a kid and I must say he was a major influence that led me to being a "Frustrated Guitar Player"
Here now, you're talking about my family. We have solid trunk we come from. Our linage is easy to trace given there are no forks.
I'm guessing that old 9 volt battery lick test won't work in this situation.And time to get a functioning multimeter
Yeah, it's been a few decades. I may have burned through some of those neurons...
We still talking cabs or have we moved on to engines and supercharging?
