I have not heard a pair of 1x12s sound as good as my Genz 2x12 which either mean that the Genz is the best or the pairs are slightly comprimised compared to a single box with two speakers inside, which even as a Genz fan boy will admit is more likely. Surely the missing piece of cab must make a huge difference as far as the tuning of them is concerned so how can they be tuned the same etc? I know we have been here many times before and my ears still outrule your science when it comes down to it from my own point of view, Im not saying your wrong but I can only go on what I hear not what I am told I should be hearing under some kind of scientific experiment.

For most situations I think 2 1x12s would be enough for most of us anyway and has its obvious advantages, I have a 1x12 and a 2x12 so the only problem I have is if I dont know the size of the venue beforehand I have to take pot luck or take the 2x12 to be on the safe side, that said if you have 2 1x12s and dont know you still have to take both anyway.

I am still not convinced 2 1x12s are the same as a single 2x12. A good 2x12 compares well to a good 4x10 IME/O

Neither of my shuttles have ever gone into protect mode even on really hot days doing 2+ hour sets, I stopped taking any notice of the lights years ago

OOhh I did not know that! On Marks site I just saw the 18-25 year olds bit, I should really just save up but where is the fun in that, surely the idea is that you fall out with your other half when you get home? There is nothing worse than having a new toy and not being able to use it because of some stupid meal out or night at the cinema

Such a versatile player

Ooops!

That scouse lad on x factor did a version didn't he?

I'd love a Gibson grabber or one of them Ibanez artists or whatever Kris Novoselic used but he managed to kill most of them!

Here you go [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Original-1979-Music-Man-Sting-Ray-Electric-Bass-Black-Pre-Ernie-Ball-/300768621635?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item460734f443"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Original-1979-Music-Man-Sting-Ray-Electric-Bass-Black-Pre-Ernie-Ball-/300768621635?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item460734f443[/url] I just put another SR5 in my watch list whilst trying to find it for you

I always think of Alder being quite light and Mahog being heavy, my black SR5 is heavy but as its a solid finish Im not sure what its made of? I think my pre EB is ash as was my old Teal SR4 which are both light in comparison.

Watching the Big Al review clips Ed says the 5 string version is mahogany which helps make it lighter?

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1346079028' post='1784944'] I think he wanted $1300 for it - I had a look earlier and the posts been superceded by newer for sale items - you could PM him if you're a member. You mean the one with the extra string tree hole?? I must stop looking at Ebay - there's a couple or three great pre EBs on there at the moment - an early white SR5 with a birds eye maple neck - and a 20th Anniversary Stingray. I never much rated the 20th Anniversary Ray but I played at a mini festival a couple of weeks ago and a guy used one - talk about a thing of beauty - absolutely stunning. The one on Ebay has the original case and is a daft price currently. As for Big Als, have you tried phoning one of the big dealers like Andertons or Gak to see if you can get one to try out?

[/quote] No there is one that is listed as all original yet its got an ebony board and no fret marker dots? I have seen that white SR5 a few times, its nice!

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1346060779' post='1784549'] Going on a slight tangent here, I have a small kustom combo. I was wondering if I got another one, could I use them like studio monitors? I would have thought so, as they seem to power up the same way.. [/quote] Would two sound twice as bad or just the same but more of it?

Why is this not in the millions, no one who owns a fretless bass should of gone without seeing it never mind the rest of us! Warning graphic Pino content [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BkGCkwJCWE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BkGCkwJCWE[/url] I dont really like PY but thats everything you ever need to learn in one song surely? Love it!

I dont understand why no one has them to try! What sort of money was that green one and have you seen the pre EB with dubious neck on eBay DrT?

I know, my Blue Ray 5 was bought on it. 9 months of easy 0% payments are easy to get past the missus.

Warwick castle, Shakespear etc its all very romantic and well worth a visit, especially the industrial estate where the Bard wrote much of his stuff

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1346069716' post='1784770'] Not that I've seen. If that Classic at BD was maple boarded I'd be v tempted. [/quote] No you wouldn't, It would not be there I have a potential new band depending on how the meeting on tuesday goes, If it works out all funds will be going on gear again, its been ages since I had anything new!

I have not got any kids! Thank god, can you imagine how much money they would all have on take it away schemes

I'm glad its not just me then If I had the funds I would take a Genz 9.2 MAX head and a Classic Ray 5 from Marks stock list right now, thats £2700 so I dont see why for most people where it would cost no more than £30-40 in fuel to get to a decent shop would buy without trying? Nowt as queer as folk as they say, I just hope someone buys either of the items above then hates them so I can buy them half price in the FS section on here
