You are of course correct. One of my friends I have played with for 30 plus years does exactly that and it works fine. I have actually made some simpler boards since this one that we use for demos and other projects requiring us to switch out pedals a lot. Since building this board I have started using thinner wood for the cross pieces so it's lighter. This board is actually heavier than it needs to be. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting.

I don't like it when amp manufacturers use that ploy of saying "Our amp is XXX watts" but they should say upfront "Our amp is xxx watts IF you add an extension speaker." That is one reason I just bought a used Rumble 100 which does NOT have a line out and has the full 100 watts. You mentioned that in your review and Ampeg is certainly not the only manufacturer who does that. In fact, the Rumble series is even worse in that the supposed power is listed in the model number. For example the Rumble 200 has 200 watts IF you add an extension speaker ...otherwise it is just 140 watts I think.
@rockoutvideography9125 күн бұрын
I agree. They do this kind of thing with a lot of audio gear. Peak watts vs RMS, SPL,... we really have to dig into the specs.

Mine sounds fairly clean at low gain, but I think it's too quiet to keep up with a couple of acoustic guitars. I'll be putting it through those paces soon but I suspect it will be very drowned out at a clean gain/volume at a campfire. With any serious gain, it breaks up into a very gnarly fuzz. It isn't just the cheap speaker crackling either -- the fuzz comes through in headphones and with the volume knob turned low. I think a lot of bassists might really dislike the fuzz and feel really disappointed with this amp. If I had paid any more than 25 bucks (used on Reverb), I might be bummed about it, but it's a fun sound if you've got an open mind to an extremely fuzzy bass. At full gain/full volume, I think it's probably loud enough ruin a nice folk sing along or turn it into a noise rock jam.

Thanks for watching and commenting. We only tested it against a single steel string acoustic guitar in our small studio. I'm not sure how it would do with multiple guitars outdoors. I'm looking forward to hearing from you how it worked. I did try it out in a park with a PJ Bass on a shorts video, but I was using a phaser pedal. It seems to be okay with other electric guitars using 10W amps, but that's a bit different than what you want to do.

I bought a black CY made one on a whim a few years back because I was bored with the guitar and didn't want to spend a huge amount on a bass. As noted, the quality control is reflected in the price. Mine had shielding issues which turned out to be a very poor solder on the J pot and a minor intonation issues, both easily sorted. The quality elsewhere was perfect. I'm still playing it. I 'want' a new bass, but I don't 'need' a new bass ;)

Sure. If the e kit is sending an instrument level signal, everything will work as normal. If the e kit is sending a line level signal, you will need to turn down the gain. The only issue may be the low volume output. However, with headphones, this amp may work well with an e kit.

I've been playing since 1994. Spend as much as you can on name brand stuff to get started. 2 reasons. 1) It is easier to play a better instrument and it sounds closer to the sound you are wanting to hear. Your instrument must stay in tune to sound good, no compromise. Cheap guitars that don't stay in tune will have you smashing them, but not looking cool while doing it . 2) You can sell name brand more easily if you decide to not play. -At a reputable guitar store, they won't rip you off too badly, they have their reputation to think about. The values are redily available on the web anyhow. -Definitely get a cable that will last, there is nothing more annoying than your cable cutting out and it has happened on every singe "regular" cable I have ever played with except for the expensive ones I got recently. It starts to buzz and make popping sounds if ypu drop it once. -a tuner is important and it is called tuning "up" for a reason. Tuning down leaves slack in the string, turning the tuning head so the pitch goes up tightens the tension and it will stay tuned.
@markhammer99752 ай бұрын
Sorry I forgot. Elixers and other coated strings last a lot longer and are generally brighter (more high pitched crisp sounds) sounding to start. Size 9 strings on electric and maybe 11s on an acoustic for starters. Light strings are easier on your fingers.

Nice overview of these basses and their features and manufacture over time. Like you, I noticed how nice these looked about 15 years ago and after searching briefly, found the same Indonesian model in the natural finish and Designed By pups. Interestingly my fretboard markers were block inlays rather than painted on. I do recall reading some years in that line using the printed ones, like you mention. I kept it for 10 years as my all around bass and it did everything I needed it to very well - it could get warm P bass tones and all the growling and clarity of the J. I did eventually sell it this year because of the weight. Mine was nearly 13 lbs. I think the body may have been ash. Not sure, but it had some nice flame figuring. Everything about it was well made and I never had problems with the electronics or anything, and I left it stock. Oh, and I picked mine up online from a pawn show out of state and it was just $200. I sold it for a little more than that 10 years later!

At 60w continuous, it's probably loud enough to kep up with a drum kit and could bridge the gap between a practice amp and a gigging amp for small venues.
