I struggle more with a jazz width nut, and don't like a c profile neck either.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1354303602' post='1884711'] If it has higher sensitivity than another tweeter it will be more revealing of amp noise. You can compensate for that with the LPad, assuming it has one. Or is that something else that G-K left out? [/quote] I'm familiar with the ebs hiss which people complain about which is just as you say because they are super sensitive but can be dialed back, in this case I presume it's not going to be the overly high quality tweeter causing the issue in that way?

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1354295421' post='1884612'] Tweeters don't buzz. Amps do, and when they do tweeters will reveal it. [/quote] I think other people have had this issue with this cab, some people have mentioned it in recent threads along with the overall build quality

There's no doubt that they free up and sound better over time, I have seen it with a repaired EV pa cab we had in the last band. Foh sounded lifeless on the new cab side, swapped the cables round just in case it was a faulty repair or anything and twas still that side that had less clarity which is exactly what they told us at EV as it would need to be run in. What did we do? More gigs! By the 3rd gig both sides gave a perfect match even after trying various little tests of swapping things round just to be certain. Just use it

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1354207640' post='1883658'] I think overcoming those wretched devices makes you and I among the most dedicated bass players on the planet. [/quote] Put me off anything Gibson esque ever since! Ha

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1354201115' post='1883495'] Both, really. I was rhythm, singer played bass and we had an incredible lead guitarist in my school band. Singer wanted to sing only, didn't take much encouragement for me to play his (totally dreadful) Avon EB0 bass. Dropped using pick a few years later. Rarely play guitar now, see the guitar as a related but completely different instrument. Never looked back. I love the role of the bass player and playing bass and feel fully a bass citizen. [/quote] It was a borrowed Avon for me too, awful just like the real versions!

[quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1354195116' post='1883364'] I like the look of em too. All the demos I've heard of the GB stuff makes it look right up my street. [/quote] I have three amps and 2 cabs from them now, I'm very happy. [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1354195767' post='1883382'] I think you are sold on the EAD 212.... [/quote] they do look very good I think I could live with ead too

I'm a failed guitarist although I was always drawn to the bass so maybe my heart just wasn't in it as much?

Streamliner or shuttle will sing with any genz cab I have just bought a 9.2Max head and can't wait to try it out!

T.I.M

Well I dont own an epoxy coated pre amp version but I do have one with tantalum caps and one with electrolytic caps which is the same preamp that carried on right through the 2 band Ernie ball basses, even now it's the same circuit but on a green pcb. The trouble is I'd say there are two factors at play on my 79 that make more difference, the heavier body 79 about 1kg more as my 82 is really light and the 79 is also string through. The 79 is really big sounding with the pickups set about the same height and both on ebmm 40-100 . Overall they all appear to have something extra over an ebmm 2 band especially in the thump region

Genz neox 2x12T and if your feeling really flush I think they now do one in their uber range too I'm not sure about the mid driver idea, good 12's and an adjustable tweeter cover a lot of ground imo and probably why's many people are going for 12's

Everytime I have had new gear it's been gigged the same night, needs must as the genz cab I bought was to replace the faulty ashdown rig I had, a wedding gig that evening meant it went straight into service. It's never been pushed beyond it's limits anyway.

Bass direct My ray5 was from pmt Birmingham and they were ok although the service at guitar guitar was better, just a shame they had no ray 5s in stock.

Making some really nice basses right now imo , cool

Still want a Classic5 stingrays, probably tobacco burst

Is the drummer at the wrong gig?

I dont really like 10s, I have tried almost every combination of various brands from 1x10 to 8x10 and never really felt any bass? It's fine that the experts tell us that under scientific tests they are the same blah blah but if I don't like it I don't like it end of

The truth is that people want to make out that they are the first people to do something, it's easier to come up with a new genre name than to actually create a new genre, nothing has been new since about 1983!

Are they jacks or speakons? The speakon is pretty much self enclosed.

Oh I'm not going to touch anything

Both of the 15, s would have some poke from that big abm head! No treble but that's ashdown for 'ya

What's the power like? I'm expecting plenty of bollocks!

Some amps minimum volume is way too loud for the dog and duck, 100watt Marshall without a power soak is too loud to sound good at most pub gigs, put the top cab on as well forget it
