two different materials to make magnets with - neo is lighter and can be stronger than ceramic. Ceramic is heavier and what has been traditionally used. power and cooling etc is more down to the driver design than the type of magnet used.

I don't know exactly what you mean by "boost the tonal qualities" - the large sweeping bass control from 50Hz to 4kHz - do you mean a suitable bandpass at a set gain? or a low pass filter to take to top off? (like a passive tone knob) if it were me I would use the bass passive and then make or buy a floor mounted preamp to run first in your signal chain - I would probably make a clone of the stingray preamp, mainly as I've been wanting to make one for a while - the sadowsky preamp box is supposed to be pretty good too, something like that.

he's on this site I think - what you thinking of making??

anyone want to win an F bass? (It's blue Warwickhunt so you won't like it) [url="http://woobox.com/avncf8/a633cd"]iBass mag seem to be running a competition - (i've no connection to them)[/url]

[quote name='Jimelliottbassist' timestamp='1411326828' post='2558487'] What about this? ;0) [/quote] anyone else's backs hurting looking at that?

Not sure it's a marketing ploy, its fairly clever technology going on. Effectively they are saying that the peak at the front of a note is important so you get a 500w or 700w or whatever peak, and then they blend a compressed feed in with your dry signal - which makes the whole thing sound louder. My guess would be live that the sound in the audience or to the desk would be quote good/ok, but for the player I personally need to hear the high transients of the notes in order to lock in with the drummer, I've played other setups where I've heard a very compressed foldback sound with no amp sound and I struggled

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1411176659' post='2557330'] I'm just home from two gigs tonight using the AER amp two and F&%* me - how do they do this? I understand that there's a bit of processing going on in the amp but the tone and volume is astonishing. The amp two is a 12" + 4" speaker combo. It is deep and clear, with more highs than I really like, but rolled off the tone on the jazz and it seemed to sound more pleasant to me. It handled the larger venue on the secend gig amazingly well for the size of this little beast. I need a few more gigs in different venues to give a better considered and more experienced opinion of this combo. So far it's amazing. The only drawback for me at the moment is the weight. Frank. [/quote] hmmm added to GAS list!

[quote name='pmjos' timestamp='1411159021' post='2557205'] I've recently test driven the Amp 2 & 3. Holy Bjesus the thee is astonishingly loud and arse kickingly deep. I wound up the bass boost and thought the bugger was going to have my leg off. Two was amazing but three......... its tiny. It has some kind of German noise tardis inside with an 8X10 2KW Mesa rig inside. I truly cannot express how punchy, warm and musical it sounded. Blown away. [/quote] can you expand a wee bit more in what you made of them both?

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1411113388' post='2556510'] What output does it have if measured 'conventionally'? I seem to remember the 450 being about 235w but just assumed the 750 was proportionately higher and around 400w. EDIT - just looked it up and the RH750 appears to be 236w as well if measured by standard means! Or maybe I'm reading the spec sheets incorrectly? [/quote] that's what I saw too... But if you look at the specs that are different you can see what they changed. While i'm happy to point to the document I've not enough knowledge of amps to publicly pontificate on what it means !

[quote name='scoobystig' timestamp='1411044761' post='2555868'] Absolutely I was speaking to mark at bass direct about this, it's something to do with a filter they have In The circuitry that cuts the highs The 750 does not have the same circuitry I too want to try some GK heads on the neo 112 cabs, but can't seem to find anyone with it is stock Molan do you have one in at bass gear ? Thanks [/quote] the power specs tc provide for the rh line are quite interesting - the 750 is more powerful but not really in a conventional sense. If you look it up the figures they give go part the way of explaining how they perform

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1410525588' post='2550373'] Follow the plans. Even when radiused at 3/8 inch, which is standard for protective corners, the edges of the cab don't require any reinforcement. If they did [i][b]it would be in the plans[/b].[/i] [/quote] do you have a hotkey set up on your pc to just paste that in?

everything adds to everything. I've been learning (bad) acoustic guitar playing. It's improved me as a bassist.

a week or so later... how you finding it?

5 string is american made and the 4 string is japanese made... or maybe mexico now
