Bass head not working solutions

Post by Bellyheart »

So I played a show friday and everything went great. Went to play a show Saturday and nothing was coming out. I did leave the speaker cable in the head...and maybe something happened...but I don't know how. The VU meter on the front is reading signal, but there's nothing coming out. I tried a different speaker cable and a different cab, so it's definitely my head. It's a Behringer Ultrabass head, so I'll eventually acquire another, if not something nicer with the octaver built into the head...however, in the meanwhile, I have a bunch of gigs and not a bunch of money.

I noticed there's a line out on the front...could I route this to the cab? I was looking at the specs on the manual.

Line out:
Output impedance is approx. 100 ohms unbalanced
Output level if +4dBu maximum


Loudspeaker out:
min 4 ohms


I don't know jack...what can I do in the meantime?

Unfortunately no, the line out isn't anywhere near hot enough of a signal to power a cab. If you guys have a PA or mixer, you could run from the line out to that.
