Bass > Splitter box into 2 paths. Path 1: Over drive, modulation, synths etc - amp 1 Path 2: Compression and octaves. - amp 2 Eq each amp to suit it's role. Path 1, roll off some lows. Path 2, roll off the highs. It works very well. I ran a split dual amp system like that for years. Now I do the same in my Helix.

Definitely need to put some stickers on the knobs. Can't see the indents at all. First half of rehearsal yesterday was crap - Until I noticed that I had severely scooped out the mids with the Semi-Para. I had been leaving that alone and just using the regular EQ. Regular settings were for a cut at 40hz, little boost at 250hz, then a little scoop in the mids, neutral upper mids and knock back the treble, I suspect the kids had been knob twiddling a bit - the para had scooped 16db out at about 600hz ish and when the trombones kicked in I couldn't hear me at all. It was excellent when I sorted it out. But those knobs need an upgrade. Wasn't even dodgy lighting - just a room with strip lights.

Repeatable is not always a good thing. Turn up to the same venue you might think you want exactly the same settings. But if on the 2nd visit your strings are now old and there's another 50 people in the room sucking up reflections then you need different settings. That being said I do want to try one.

Just need to change the silly EQ names and it will look great.

I thought about that - but it turns out it wouldn't cover them if I earned any money, or theft from cars / venues etc.

New Moon for me. was with Allianz for years but their renewal quote doubled so I moved.

For the demented - Annihilator Kind of blue - Miles Davis

No - 1 is enough. I will use 2 if we are outside though, just because I haven't got a wall to help with reflecting the sound.

@Jakester It's this one

I've got 2 of them. 8ohm each.

I can't see it on the Customisation page. Just has other tolex and baffle colours. Shouldn't be a paid for option though - it's got to be cheaper than the tolex.

With a bit of luck they've fixed that then. I want them to do well because they had the balls to take an enormous risk in entering into such a niche manufacturing industry.

It's just making me frustrated!!

I really like my One10 cabs. Great sound. They do suffer from the tolex peel. Does that annoy me? Yes, it does, a little. I never had that issue with Berg cabs. but for my taste the One10 sounds a lot better. Can I be arsed to complain or send them back or anything for what is a cosmetic issue I have experienced on other cabs (not Berg)? No. Will it make me not buy another 10inch series cab - don't know. Haven't given it any thought as so far the pair of cabs have dealt with everything I need them to. Will it stop me looking at a Supertwin or similar - no because they are covered differently IIRC. The only "build quality" issue I have is the tolex and that is a cosmetic quality issue rather than construction or performance. I'm not aware of other build quality issues. Do I want BF to change their processes? Of course - we all get gear lust by looks as well as specs and there's no doubt a peeling bit of tolex looks stinky poo next to a shiny Berg or Vanderklay cab, and those issues need to be fixed before any high end bass shops will stock BF next to other expensive brands. I suspect BF have managed to avoid that sort of direct comparison because they sell direct - otherwise the pressure from retailers would be immense - if a curious customer won't try them in a shop because the other brands next to it then it doesn't matter how good they sound as the customer will never find out. Or worse the customer will take it home and then bring it back for a refund. That is a dead easy way to ruin a reputation no matter how good it sounds. I bought mine blind because for me the most important issue was weight - so I bought one and was amazed by the weight and then was thrilled when the sound was what I wanted too. For my taste the 10 inch series are the best sounding cabs out there. I also think they look great - when the tolex is stuck down properly. High end does not need to be flashy like the berg pretend carbon fibre look, but it does need to look well finished. The tolex application on mine is not as good as my £170 Jet City guitar cab. I wonder if the 10 inch cabs should just be painted like the original ones. End the problem overnight?

Mine won't arrive until end of October!

I had the TecAmp Puma amp which basically is the Eich and a V1 Darkglass They are so massively different they are not really alternatives to each other. The Puma is the cleanest amp I’ve ever played. Too clean for me in the end. I found it a bit sterile. Of course the DG will do metal, but it’s got a good clean core sound too. I found it far more versatile than the Puma even when playing clean. i kept the DG and sold the Puma. However if you want a clean non-sterile amp as an alternative then the brand new Markbass Marcus Limited Gold Line is a cracker. Better EQ centres than the Puma and other Markbass heads, and has a warmth to it that the Puma couldn’t do.

The DG is classier looking... The MB is tarted up and on the pull!

I have finally been able to use it at big band rehearsal. In the mix the core tone is deeper than the DG, and the Ultralow 40hz control is brilliant for removing flub in what can be a very boomy room. I usually play a Precision with this ensemble, but I used my Berg Superlight. At the start it was a bit too mid scooped - not a surprise with a jazz type - but a tweak of the mids sorted that. I might get the footswitch so I can easily switch in the semi-para EQ for an easy change for slap. It was really punchy and had a great piano tone to the attack when played hard, and fattened up when played with more finger on the strings. When using the DG head I usually have the B3K on all the time at a low level. I purposely didn’t bring any drive with me to force me to learn the amp. Signal chain was bass, tuner, ThorpyFX Fat General Compressor, amp, Barefaced One10. Loved it!

Hoe Too Neigh

They just haven't got style!

You star! Thank you. I'll find out when I get a day off and PM you.
