[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1344443859' post='1764641'] I doubt I could get down just to witness the cabinet differences, but what I will say is that nothing 'special' should be set up...at all. When you get to a gig, you put your cab down and get on with it. As long as the same amp, cables and bass are used, by the same person demoing it, then that's enough. [/quote] This is pretty much it. We can't go down the real life scenario route (far too much to organise). So here's the first few points that I think should be observed: - Blind testing : Only the people who supplied the amps/cabs should know which cabs are being tested and they should not be able to participate in voting in anything other than a token vote (so it won't be counted) - The same amp should be used through a multitude of cabs (where the cab is able to handle the amp of course). On the same settings. - Real life SPL should be measured at various points in the room - Perceived SPL should be voted on at various points in the room - Votes on tone - Votes on perceived size of rig - Votes on perceived configuration - Votes on overall "rating" / quality Any comments?

[quote name='ROConnell' timestamp='1344458425' post='1765009'] It looks really nice and slick! Very tidy too. Tidy equals productive. Though I'm not sure how productive actual work would be in there though with that nice TC rig sitting in that corner! [/quote] We'll see ;-) With my laptop dock there its kinda annoying having to switch the usb cable from the laptop to the desktop. Anyone know if there are any kind of switches that mat be suitable? Did consider using a hub but I expect it would cause more trouble than it solved

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1344454444' post='1764919'] That's very nice. Mine's way too cramped at the moment. Are they 5" speakers you've got there? Was just curious about whether they pump out enough bass for you. I've got a pair of BX5a's that are a bit lacking in the bass. Not sure if it's my setup or the speakers though as my desk is right in the corner. [/quote] Yeah hs50ms have 5" speakers. I don't find them lacking (infact the floor shakes if I crank them). More important than how good any speaker is, is that you know them. As long as they're revealing enough you're laughing IMHO. Having the speakers in the corner usually makes things basses iirc. Have you tried getting your speakers at ear level? Makes a world of difference.

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' timestamp='1344439347' post='1764536'] Presumably, if you turned the camera 90 degrees to the right, we'd see the huge pile of junk that you'd just swept off of your desk? S.P. [/quote] Not yet lol. Just setting everything up in the house atm. There's a pile of bass cases I'm trying to work out where to keep though

Here's a recipe atleast [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/frenchstylepeaswithm_89051.pdf"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/frenchstylepeaswithm_89051.pdf[/url]

Sorry skank, can I pay you in prawn crackers or pork scratchings? Times are tight atm

Well happy with the set up in my new house now [attachment=115153:MissionControl.jpg]

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1344435022' post='1764431'] Can't wait! I already have something for the guitar build diary courtesy of Rob Williams. [/quote] Chuck it in the "other instruments" section while you're waiting?

[quote name='essexbasscat' timestamp='1344430368' post='1764309'] When's the date of the next EABB for this to happen ? [/quote] Give me a chance man I'll have a chat with zero9 as he had an idea for venues

Just need some bronze rings around the outside of em

yup

Aww I feel loved... Or didn't you mean me?

Thanks Kiwi

I'll organise for an Anglia venue, we're currently discussing Pboro to help with transport issues Yep, Blind tests and fairness is key

Roto's or Prosteels (currently experimenting, currently I think I prefer the prosteels) on the precision Prosteels on the Yamaha Newtones on the ACG

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1344349119' post='1763162'] I do. [/quote] Sorry but made me think of this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZI_aEalijE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZI_aEalijE[/url]

^ my thoughts exactly.

I think GB have done aftermarket necks? Don't know if Shuker or ACG would?

[quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1344269065' post='1762011'] Yup - but the main concern is starting a fire... not guaranteed to happen but a real risk when overloading components. [/quote] Indeed... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3H6A5t_Bu8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3H6A5t_Bu8[/url]

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1344329915' post='1762759'] *GRIN* Horrible. Another nasty Fender parts bin bass. Might actually be more ugly than the G&L asshat... [/quote]

I think we should pitch in and get BRX one

Good to see some love for the NT1A, I need one but can't warrant the outlay

I'd be quite interested in a Barefaced vs the world test. They're so highly regarded on here it would be great to just try it against some other cabs
