[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!

Pm'd.

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

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!
-
Hopefully one of you lot are after what I am procrastinating over buying to end my indecision! -
If I had kept my first bass, that would be the one that was a keeper for me. As it happens, I wouldn't say I have any unsellable bass. Sure, the only situation I can envisage selling my Alpher bass is if I give up bass, but thats not never, is it

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1462380440' post='3042565'] Ha. Here it is in its full sofa shot glory: [/quote] Stunning Back of the neck shot please, need to see that flame!
-
Superb looking bass right up until you get to the headstock. Ok, it accommodates a D tuner, but why base the design on such a feature, if that is what they have done? I imagine dropping that and doing a nice rounded carve around the butterfly would have looked great. Instead, yuk. Gorgeous otherwise! No comments on the price needed, lets not turn it into yet another of those threads
-
Multi scale instruments excel in this arena, particularly if you want to avoid extra thick strings and the more thuddy compressed sound that comes with them. Could be worth considering?
-
[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1462210678' post='3041154'] I'm guessing that's what the customer asked for... [/quote] I may have incorrectly assumed the Bassculture Bigbucker was an off the shelf pickup model, is it not? Iv also apparently incorrectly assumed this was a stock model and up for sale for the price listed!

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1462196299' post='3040978'] I see that the Frog with the Wal-like pickups and circuit is May's bass of the month. [url="http://www.public-peace.de/index.php/bass-of-the-month/1939-public-peace-proudly-presents-the-bass-of-the-month-may-2016"]http://www.public-pe...-month-may-2016[/url] [/quote] Its a stunning instrument, but ruined by the pickup design. No need for them to resemble Wal so accurately, cheapens the whole thing for me
-
A tip that may help; give each string a good press down at the bridge anchoring point to make sure there is a clean angle. Whenever I had had an issue with strings slipping out of tune (if this is strings, of course), doing this sorts it right out.
-
I would not say that 45 65 80 105 was a normal set offered by manufacturers, or perhaps I am losing the plot?? I think Swing bass strings are this gauge, no others spring to mind without the help of Google. I would think 45 65 85 105 or 45 65 80 100 would be more common.
