You have the EBS Classic Session 60 combo that Old horse Murphy is selling, i can't think of a better option at that price: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/205971-for-sale-ebs-session-60-combo-as-new-l160-price-drop/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/205971-for-sale-ebs-session-60-combo-as-new-l160-price-drop/[/url]

Are you trying to re-invent the wheel? P.S. - This is just another sad excuse for me to show my Sandberg around,

Just another reason for me not to like Ricks (can i use the short term or should i have to use the full word?). They're ugly, heavy, uncomfortable to play, sound very poor, don't balance right and the price is ridiculous (yes i've tried them, the originals, one of them was even a vintage oldie). If i don't see one again i would be ok with that and i sincerely hope that the brand takes a severe hit on their sales due to their attitude... Sorry if i offended any BC members, this is not intended to you Cheers

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1369128049' post='2085049'] Put it on the scales last night, Barrie. 29.3 kgs. I have to pick the gigs that I want it on [/quote] Sh*t!!! Almost as much as my old Trace Elliot combo (~40kg)!!!

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1369068850' post='2084502'] Probably posted my pair of Barefaced 2x15s pic enough now though. [/quote] One can never see too much gear porn, show us some more!

I'm the happy owner of a 3Leaf GR1 and am not considering changing any time soon. I've had all the usual suspects Digitech Synth Wah, Boss AW-3, 3Laef Proton, 3Leaf Wonderlove, Boss SYB, MXR Envelope Filter, some multifx units and other pedal i can't remember. From all the best i found was the GR1, it's very easy to set, all sounds are very musical and warm. I found the Wonderlove to be more complicated to get the sound i was looking for and the Proton is just too high pitch sounding for my taste. If i found a used GR2 i would buy it in the second just to try it against mine and then i believ i would keep both so i can have a backup. Love my GR to bits, the best pedal on my board

Yes, i think you should do a straight swap... now, where can i find a cheap TH500 for sale...

Most probable cause would be the jack socket. I would start looking there for a solution to your problem.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1368654189' post='2079966'] I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that before (VM-5's are not common) but I don't mind seeing it again [/quote] Ahh, i really had the impression i've posted the pics before but couldn't find the post. Anyway this time you get the video to get an idea of it's sound. I may say it made a very good impression when compared to the Fodera that was played after

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1368710829' post='2080488'] As I understand it the enhance can't be 'turned off'.. the dial will give you various mappings and colour..which is why I said the amp is inherrently coloured. The 4 band para is very powerful..but again there is your colour if you switch that in. The timbre can be dialed zero'ed..but it is also arguable whether that is flat. This is no different to a whole host of other amps that have filters or internal mapping or bias controls or whatever you wish to call them. Unless you can turn them off or disable them... you aren't getting 'flat'.. and that is without fetting what colour you cab or pickups may do. and don't even think about the effects chain..????? Does flat mean the sound of your bass's acoustic sound amplified..? to some it might, others have their own definition. My most neutral and best, as it happens.., sounding amp has quite basic and sutble EQ but if the bass doesn't sound good in the first place... there is not a lot I can do to affect it. Fortunately, I love the way it works. I also like my TF amp as a backup but the sound is different and more mechanical by comparison. If I didn't have them A/B'd I'd be less aware of the difference... but that is why we A/B.. Personally, I don't think flat is the holy grail anyway... you go with the sound that pleases you however you get it.. but KISS in the signal chain is not a bad way to start.. [/quote] These are all valid points, no argue here. Here's the manual on the TF (but i believe you arleady have it) [url="http://www.thunderfunk.com/Downloads/Thunderfunk_Owner"]http://www.thunderfunk.com/Downloads/Thunderfunk_Owner's_Manual.pdf[/url] Over here Dave clearly states that Enhance and Timbre at 0 removes them from the circuit. If this is entirely true it's a different story but just by plugging the bass to the return socket should give an idea of the differences between the sound with and without the preamp acting. But this was never the question here, i already stated that i don't use a flat setting on bass and amp, i only pointed that what i do want is to have a flat(ish) sounding cab so i can have a better perception of what's going out of the amp. I would be happy gigging any of the cabs on the OP but my preference goes to the S12T due to IMHO being capable to reproduce the signal going in the most faithfull way, i never said the other cabs sounded bad. I support the opinion that the GB and the Bergs have a better fit and finish and look prettier but i'm only interested in the sound, plus i still haven't found my cab to be fragile in any way. Let's not continue to fuel a (very healthy) argument that's based solely on personal taste, to each his own Cheers

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1368640958' post='2079653'] Uncoloured / flat - can come across clinical. (...) [/quote] This isn't the case here, what me and others here are talking about is [u]flat response from the cab[/u] in order to reproduce as faithfull as phisically possible the sound that you're feeding into it. If the bass and/or the amp have a personality that will shine through the cab.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1368655280' post='2079989'] How would you do that? [/quote] Use the switch on SS, don't use Timbre and Enhance and rest is on the EQ (ususally i take away some bass and add some upper mids, light changes) But to be fair, the sound that is working for me onstage involves using the Enhance and, if i'm with the Sandberg i'll change the switch to Valve so i can get some vintage warmth, i'm not a flat (clinical) purist. All i'm saying is that i like and want my cabs to be flat because they're only there to put out what i'm putting in and i want the changes i make on bass (or amp) EQ to be properly translated outside, not masked/changed by the cab.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1368635823' post='2079567'] Your amp is very coloured... not that it makes it good or bad, just that the TF is a very tonally coloured amp, IME. [/quote] The TF can be coloured but it also can be very flat, just a mather of settings. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1368637021' post='2079587'] Surely it doesn't matter if its a little coloured, as long as its a good, well built cabinet with a nice tone. All this talk of clinical tone makes me think no one wants a personality! [/quote] I like the personality of the bass to shine through, not the one of the cab, that wont go through FOH (i run my DI pre-eq and always use PA support)

I wouldn't buy a Berg or a GB to replace my S12T and not because of the volume but because of the tone. Clarity and uncoloured, Berg and GB aren't quite like that, close, but...! If Alex and WoT are talking about what i think they're talking i better start scrapping out money from the bottom of the couch

I don't remember if i posted mine here so here it is (again?): Sandberg California VM-5, tobacco burst / black PG / vintage tinted maple neck: and a video on our last bass bash, if i recal correctly it was plugged on to a REDDI and using the powerstage of a Glockenklang through a Glock 3-way cab: [media]http://youtu.be/cnFyQgxsrFA[/media] (not me playing it, thank god it was somebody who actually knows how to play a proper bass line ) Cheers
