The Last Bass Outpost

Thanks PBG!!  I really appreciate the help!

Right that's a good way to put it!
Thanks so much!!

Thanks HERBIE !
The amp has only one speaker out and is marked 4 ohms minimum.
I've read the head puts out 80 watts @ 8 ohms (into my 412)
and puts out 120 watts @ 4 ohms (apparently if I use both cabs daisy chained)

Would that 120 watts be split evenly between cabs?
Like 60 watts to the 412 and 60 watts to the 115?

Is that right?  Running the cable from the first cab into the second cab would be running them in parallel or in series?  I don't know any of this stuff.
I read somewhere that if they were different ohms then the add up to a much lower ohms.
Since both of these cabs are 8 ohms wouldn't the total be 4 ohms?

So if I take this head and plug it into the 8 ohms 412b cabinet then out of the that cab I run a speaker cable into the 115RH 8 ohms cabinet - this adds up to 2 ohms?  I never really understood ohms and how they work.
These heads were meant to drive two music man cabinets.  What ohms amount are you saying my cabinets would each need to be in order for this to work without soldering things?

Ok so both the 412B and 115RH "Sixty Five" are 8 ohms each.
Does this mean it's safe to use both cabinets together with this head?

Ooh I'm not sure what the 412B is as far as ohms go.  I'm going to look online and see if I can find out.  The head does say 4 ohms minimum and only has one speaker out.
The 412B has two inputs but I'm assuming one can be used to connect the extension cabinet?  Is the special series-wired speaker cable something I"ll definitely need and can find easily at most larger music stores?
Sorry to be such an ignoramus about this stuff.  I appreciate the help.

Ok I have an early 80's Music Man 120B head and a Music Man 412B cabinet.
I really love the sound but wanted a little bit more out of it volume-wise, and wanted to get a matching Music Man 115 cabinet.
Well, I jumped at the chance to get a 115RH cab but just found out it is a sixty five and not a 130 or 150.
Did I totally screw up and get something that is completely unusable with this setup?
I don't know much about the 120B head other than it's supposed to be 80 watts through one cab but goes up to 120 watts when using an additional cab?  Will this head destroy that 115?

Any Music Man specialists out there and/or head/cabinet/wattage experts?

I'm a little slow when it comes to this stuff.

Thanks!

You know I looked at those hellcats, but that schecter stuff really looks kinda heavy metal in its styling.  I don't know what it is but they're guitars have always given me that impression.
I'm sure they kick butt as a performance instrument but I wouldn't be able to get over the look of them.  I guess I'm just shallow that way.

Yeah that CAR finish is really something!  I bought a Japanese RI in the 90s and had it for over 10 years but had to sell it when I moved from the west coast to the east coast.
I loved it and I hear that the current Fender Japan versions are a better instrument build-wise than those previous reissues.  I'm gonna try to swing one of them but may try a Pawn Shop one if I can try one out in the DC area.  I've always wanted a white one though... damn!

Ah! I really want to get a white bass VI from Japan but I'm a little clueless on how I should go about this.
The shop that was mentioned ishibashi doesn't seem to have any Bass VIs at all on their site.
Also, the music zoo says it won't be until May or June before they get anything from Japan.
Any suggestions or experienced ways of getting one?
I appreciate the help!

WTF?  Someone's looking to go into business?

Darn it, now I gotta take photos.
Alright, alright, coming soon...

Seriously though, I'm very happy with my BaCHbird.
Could a CS version REALLY be 5-6 times better than a BaCHbird?
The BaCHs can be customized to hell and still cost less than a CS version.

I have to admit that I do love my CS NR Firebird.  So much so, I'm going to sell my '67 NR.
I had to change out all of the gold hardware on the new one (not a fan of gold hardware) and hope to
have it refinished at some point (it's currently TV White).
Anyway...

Gibson should do 12 in the blue swirl finish that some of the CS NR Firebirds came in 
With gold hardware!   

How about T.V. White???
