Hi All,
I was the one who wrote about a pleasant surprise finding two AltecLansing 421A's inside a circa 1971 250 bass rig my son bought.
Maybe not so pleasant. I played his Fender Lyte (1997 Japan - active P&J pickups) through it last night and the amp "farts out" (I hate that saying but it is descriptive) at 4 on the volume setting. Methinks this is not Kosher.
Tell me please what re-coning is. Also, do the active pickups on the bass guitar have anything to do with this?
I would hate to buy some new Goddess-endorsed Carvins unless the problem is indeed the speakers.
I have a gut feel that a 250 rig with 2 15" speakers should rock the house and not distort on volume 4.
Whatch'all think? New speaker time?
Thanks and Regards,
