Just a question about your mesa cab FC. Is the cab with the 4x10 and 1x15, a stereo cab? can it be biamped?

There were two seperate 8 ohm inputs for the 15 and the 10's, (as well as a mono 4 ohm full range input) But i've replaced them with a single Speakon connector since I like the full range sounds better. I'm not sure if the "new style" cabs has the seperate inputs though... on the Mesa site the inputs section looks like:

I guess it won't be much of a problem to rewire the Speakons Here's the diagram I got from Mesa:

To be sure shoot an email to Mesa, they reply real quick ;-)

My black cat likes my (not-black) doubleneck:

See! Brothers of the Black Alembics unite! Nicely done my metal friend! Waiting on delivery of 2 black basses from the mothership. Maybe I should do some painting myself?

Thanx!
I bet that the Mothership will do a much better paint yob, than manny of us here :-)
Some day I will send 83S2674 back for a refinish, so Mica can enjoy that beautiful piece of Koa again. :-)
(must have an original black Spoiler before that though...)

I forgot to post this one, especialy for Dano:

"Blackened" If Mica reads this: Blackened will also be the codename for my new Custom. :-) The Flying V is a multiple years self made project of our lead guitarist, I had it @ home for a while when I was making adjustements to one of our multiple guitar stage stands (I'm a wizzard with stainless steel tubes) The Strat is a Squier Affinity I bought brand new for some recordings, relic proces started right after purchase

The Aria is an '84 SB Black 'n Gold I, the same type Cliff used in the end... I keep forgetting details on the other bass (the one on the left) I was hoping to get some info here (I think I saw some topics with a similar model on this board) The cats are: Rocky on the left (3) and his mom Spijker on the right (4) I would not go near those guitarz unless the cats know and trust you :-) Joking of course, these are the cutest and friendliest cats in the world, together with Cliff (Rocky's brother, grey striped so he did not make it through the casting of this picture) Kids: Don't try this at home, cats love climbing guitarz... This "situation" was created just for the picture ;-)
