What is the cab's impedance please?

I have no doubt this thing sounds awesome.

But - 85lb

Eighty Five Pounds!!!!

Is anyone without roadies really going to buy it? That is utter madness.

My Mark Bass F1 head and a Tech21 pedal gets damn close to proper SVT with 75lb to spare!

Ah well.

I have a nice Tech21 XXL Bass pedal which gives me grit, but I'm just trying to lower the gear carrying!

One day Ampeg will do a SVT head at the same weight as a Mark Bass.

This is my view too.

I can think of 1 person who I would lend my gear too - Paul_C of this parish.

Because I trust him and I wouldn't have to say "you break it = you bought it" it would be automatic.


I got asked to lend the Rig of Doom to a bunch of 17 year olds once. (2 heads, 2 Marshall VBC412, even the pedal board!!). I said no politely, and pointed out that immediately after we were on, we were going.

Then the guitarist from the kids band came up and accused me of making their bassist use his own sh*te amp, therefore making their whole band sound crap.

He actually had his own amp with him!!! He just wanted to use mine because it was "better."

Eijits.

Paid!

You have PM

I shall have that!

I always thought it was his gig and the others were employed as needed.

I hope Zender got his writing credits.

How much does it weigh?

??

I'm curious about the valve preamp. Will it do a little grit? I'm using a MB F1 at the mo but it could do with a little grit sometimes.

Don't want to go back to heavy amps though.

Anyone bought or tried and didn't buy?

Damn! I'm seriously thinking about this...

My Mark Bass F1 for my NS WAV4 (With a TecAmp S210 cab)

The input impedence is a bit low (only 500ohms when the piezo's work better at 1M) but it sounds nice.

I'll have to try a DI box to sort that at some point. I'm curious whether I'll hear a difference when the amp is set flat.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='964176' date='Sep 22 2010, 10:05 AM']That makes sense but it's actually a tough laminate flooring and the spikes don't penetrate it. I whip them off and see if there's any difference though. Cheers.[/quote]


I've a mate who has endless PhD in acoustics and sound. I'm always getting told off for stupid things.. but also get a proper scientific opinion on snake oil too!

So either Hartke will be bringing out some blendable drive preamps.... or his old Pearce and Ampegs will be hidden in a rack off stage!

It should look like a Fender, Sound like a fender but be built like a Sadowsky.


Oh - OUt7shined... you shouldn't use speaker spikes on a wooden floor. It actually increases the acoustic couplling rather than lowers it which is the aim of spikes on other surfaces.

To take the idea further, I have to wonder if anybody has ever uses stone to make a cap (obviously not a whole body) for a bass?

Edit:
This Roscoe might be yes! Although I couldn't find any more info on it.

They never got to basses before they went bust but...

The Auroc "strat" had a body made from marble. They weighed about as much as a small country....

Just bought Gunsfreddy2003's Subdecay Prometheus.

Excellent comms; fast delivery; pedal in excellent condition with box AND the instructions!! (I never keep them!)

a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Mark

I shall try some Status ones then (As it happens they will be going on a status!)

thanks chaps

Anyone tried half-wounds or groundwounds?

The D'Addario's look interesting.

I had La Bella deep talking flats on my fretless and I like them a lot - but I could do with a bit more high end zing - closer to rounds.

Any recommendations?

Paid!

It's all mine!!!!

Funk ahoy!!

Give Proel a call (UK Distrib)

They were really helpful when my F1 borked.

Euros or pound sterling?

I have one of those - I love it for mad synth noises!

YOu have PM sir!
