[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1463089259' post='3048591'] You're thinking that the One10 is going to sound like a 110 cab. The point I was trying to make is that to compare it with any existing 110 cab is fairly meaningless. Having said that, I haven't heard all of them, of course. [/quote] I don't doubt the maths and science behind all this but, in real world situations, if Barefaced cabs were truly twice as loud as competitor equivalents, why are they the only ones building cabs with drivers like this?

A little delayed, but in an effort to get myself back on the gigging scene I have bought myself a little high quality rig second hand for good prices that hopefully will serve me well. GK Fusion 500 and a Vanderkley 112MNT. GK is putting out ~300w at 8ohms when cranked, however the Vanderkley as a pretty impressive 600w handling so will take whatever the GK, or most amps for that matter, throws at it. Initial thoughts are they are rather good together. Yet to use them in anger but the GK is surprisingly flexible, with all the GK growl there if you want it but plenty of other options available. The switchable second gain is really useful and, providing you don't push them too far, the valves break up real nice. The cab is really, really nice. Build quality is top notch, very detailed sound, tweeter is wonderfully musical and the colour appears to be very neutral, both basses and the Darkglass stuff sound very smooth through it indeed. Of course, yet to use either in anger yet, but I always have high hopes that an Amp and Cab that sound good at lower volumes will kill when cranked Family shot: Currently GAS free on all front, but we'll see how that lasts!

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1463063296' post='3048229'] Surely whether it's a weird question or not is irrelevant? If a customer phones up and asks a question, it makes sense to just answer them... there is a chance they are going to be buying something from you, so presumably you want to be as accommodating as possible? [/quote] Well, it is difficult to mask a tone of voice that one would naturally have when being asked an odd question. Unless I misread, Mark did answer, but perhaps didn't mask his surprise at being asked all too well.

[quote name='geofio' timestamp='1463053489' post='3048095'] I have Just Called Bass Direct to enquire about a bass i may well purchase, i simply asked if the Bass had any marks or Dings etc , as i have found new basses in Guitar Guitar for example Damaged !!! he seemed offended i asked the question and his tone was very brisk and unfriendly, surely it is not such a bad thing to ask if there are any marks on a bass that is hanging up on a shop wall, that i am about to fork out a lot of money for !!! to be honest he put me off buying the bass, he is not doing himself any favours certainly not with me any way, his manor was a bit too head master for me. shame as there are some lovely Basses on the web site. [/quote] If its a new bass, to be honest I think its a weird question to ask; I would never thing to ask if it was in perfect condition...as its new! It would be sent straight back if it wasn't. If its a used bass then completely understand the question and surprised at Mark's reaction, although I'm sure he was intended on being rude or anything like that.

Just sold this chap a little Markbass combo. Paid straight away, all you can ask for really! Top stuff, highly recommend.

[quote name='tonewheels' timestamp='1462740288' post='3045414'] I spent ages trying all the current Class D crop and the MB Fusion 500 was by far the best to pair with a couple of One 10s. Collective jaws dropped down the pub the other night when I casually chucked into the conversation "I don't miss the SVT stack at all, you know". Many many spilled pints and dropped bacon sandwiches to be cleared up. [/quote] Thats good to hear. You still get the GK growl and punch? I was concerned about the more vintage style colouring of these cabs making it less suitable for modern rock tones.
-
Aye, allowing the adhesive to cure is vital. It'll never be as strong otherwise.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1462724715' post='3045206'] Cabs are not like amps; their impedance is fixed (yes, I know; there are very rare exceptions...), as is their power handling. It's either 4 Ohm or it's 8 Ohm, independantly of the 1400w. Just sayin'.. [/quote] I know I am checking that it is definitely 8 ohm and not 4ohm, mainly because I don't recall seeing such good a high power handling on an 8ohm cab before, but I don't have too much experience in 4x10s.
-
Just grabbed a new amp from this fellow Kevin; top bloke, had a good chat and I look forward to using it in anger, cheers!

This is 1400w at 8ohm, not 4ohm? Interested in weight and dimensions too.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1462551219' post='3044009'] ..and he's just sent me a pic of the back of mine. OOOOOF! [/quote] Yes. Yes yes.

Try the bass you are buying, not just any 4003s. Rickenbacker are similar to Fender in that their QC varies a LOT, much more than it should at the price point it is at. I too would choose an s over the standard for the body contouring, however I found the neck to be a bit fat and sticky when I tried one in GuitarGuitar last year.

Stick with Nordstrand Big Blades Fat Stacks Dual Coils Should all fit I think.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1462652251' post='3044737'] Funnily enough I am too [/quote] And me! Picking up a GK Fusion 500 tomorrow and all being well ordering a One10 next week. May have to grab a cable too...
-
Awesome! I will be very interested in their bass when it is available! The neck is basically completely flat at the place where you anchor your thumb all the way up, isn't it? And that flatness rotates as you go down the neck? Crazy concept, Id like to try it.

And Sold -
[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1462635672' post='3044585'] This is the first I've heard of tolex peeling since we changed adhesive last spring/summer. Very disappointed to hear it's occurred and that we haven't been directly told about it, especially as it happened after such a short time. Hopefully it's a rare case because since we launched the One10 we've sold a lot of cabs from the 10CR range which are all tolexed. The way the tolex is wrapped is the standard way of doing it, one piece around the sides, top, base and into the baffle, with a separate piece for the back - inspect 95% of tolexed bass cabs and you'll see the same seam arrangement. Guitar cabs are different because the rear panel is usually removable or missing. The adhesive we use is specifically made for tolex so this problem surprises and worries me! [/quote] Shot you an email earlier Alex And, yes, I wouldn't worry about one cab out of a large number! Doesn't put me off, anyway. Cool of you to pop in and comment directly too, can't say that about too many cab builders

Bought this new about a year ago, just used for home practice and its a cracking piece of kit. Stupid loud and full for such a small 1x8" combo and has all the Markbass tone of the larger units. The speaker has a much higher handling that the Amp can put out and the amp has plenty of headroom so it is more than happy to take a boosted signal to get even more volume out of it.

Happy to meet somewhere to deliver, but courier is fine as it still has its original box. Can sort an actual pic out if anyone fancies it, but its really as stock Cheers.

Its certainly a grower. Hated it the first time, now I quite like it.
-
I'm thinking of picking up one of these and a GK MB Fusion....
-
Man I am tempted to order one of these... How does the GK sound through it?
-
It's funny isn't it? Headstock design is the curse of so many, many basses and luthiers. They divide so much opinion too. This one doesn't even have one and look at the discussion it's causing!
