GK 1001RB and Trace Elliot 1048 - Bass Gone Bad
Sometimes everything that can go wrong does go wrong, all at once. This bass rig had multiple issues. The AC input on the GK had arced badly and burned through it's solder joints. The crossover in the Trace Elliot cabinet smelled like burnt Aqua Net and was hanging on for dear life. Neither was difficult to fix, but together they made for a pretty disappointing gig. I replaced the AC inlet and all of the resistors in the crossover. Once back together, the brutal punch from the Trace cab was a pleasant reminder of my bass adventures in the mid '90s. Too bad it weighs about 6000 pounds!
