10:58 This is actually not correct. If there is no speaker connected, the total impedance goes up to infinity and no power will flow. However, some amps, especially ones with a tube power stage don't like to be powered without a speaker because of reasons too complicated to explain here. The safest way is still to use the amp only with a cabinet connected to it.

Great content .... but what about adding cabinets in series ? I wonder why someone would do that since it would make 2 8 omh cabinets 16 ohms. Not sure of the math, but would that not run a 800 w amp at about 300 w ? What benefit would that provide?

I've been playing six-string bass since 2012 and I love it, but I don't use standard tuning. I tune mine from low E to high F because I do a lot of two-hand tapping and need to higher range.

You really are getting into the music theory aspect! A lot of younger bassists find it intimidating. After almost 30 years of playing double bass in a radio orchestra nothing scares me anymore!

When you connect no speaker on a Digital amp you do not have 0Ω but you have ∞Ω. This does not destroy any digital amp because no current is flowing. On a Tube amp - in opposite- the lack of load will bring your Tubes into a bad area of your amplification curve so the result could be defective tubes (depending on circuit). Also the Ω on Speakers and Amps is impedance not resistance. it is not static but the 8 or 4Ω are averaged out resistance values over direct current measures. As every Speaker has different impedance response even when connecting the "right" impedance it can lead to strange effects as the speakers influence each others response. All over Digital amps are easy with anything and I have seen no Digital amp blowing up below 4 ohms just yet. Might sound a bit bad but hey.. it´s digital ;) . I still appreciate your efforts telling folks a little about this. Yes manuals are ridiculous everywhere

Hello!!! I own an Ashdown head RM 800 EVO II. It's 800 watts with two speakon outputs for cabinets. The question is, each one of the outputs gives 800 watts? Or you have 400 watts for each output? Thank you very much!!! Great video, great explanations!!! Greeting from Chile!!! 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

I played an open air gig the other day nothing major . And my ampeg bass rig was good . But I had a thought I’ve got another 1000 watt amp at home , so my question is could I run both amps together to get serious power / volume . I have 2 500watt speakers ( 4x10s ) x 2 If I did run the Amps together would I run the risk of just blowing the speakers up .. ???

How is the balance on that instrument when you are using a strap? A couple of the lightweight bases that I have played were, of course, neck heavy.

the finish result is nice playing, but the instruments are too fruity on the Gr55. They need sculpting a lot. Wind instruments are horrid I think on the Gr55.
