I don't even really gel with Warwicks, but this one sounds incredible!

[quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1344948736' post='1771484'] Ahhhhh! Shame, good luck with the house and baby, some things are more important than gear, eh? [/quote] Thanks dude -

[quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1344947807' post='1771464'] Medium and short scale are options with them, though they're not well advertised, worth mentioning to a Warwick dealer, maybe? Could be just 4 strings with the shorter scale options, I suppose. [/quote] As far as I know, they do medium and short scale options on the 4 and 5 string bolt-ons, but only on the German made more pricey ones. I wonder if they do a medium scale 6 string? This wasn't an option when I bought my old thumb though, way back in the late 90's. Man that makes me feel old. Anyway, I don't think I could be more skint right now, bought a house off someone who clearly thought the "D" in DIY meant "Destroy" and a baby on the way, so no chance of affording a custom shop Warwick for a long long time, but there's a few on my custom bass bucket list if my lottery ticket comes in this week...

I should add, although the pricing of Warwicks has gone up a fair bit, there's very VERY good reasons behind the decision and they have brought in the Korean built Pro lines to bridge the gap too. Eude -

Yup, I agree Gareth, that's a really special sounding bass. I used to have a Thumb Bass BO 5 string which sounded amazing! I've got some pretty nice sounding recordings with an old band, just Thumb Bass straight into a Sansamp, everything flat, bar a tiny bit of grit on the Sansamp. One of my favourite tones ever. If somehow it could've been a medium scale bass I'd likely still have it! Cheers, Eude -
[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1344808745' post='1769536'] The fit and finish on that cab, even in the photos, looks like Berg quality. [/quote] It's ridiculous! I've heard about these cabs denting anything they come into contact with, regardless of the material, they're built to last! Eude

Well I finally got hold of my new cab! A prototype EAD Foundation 112. I've not managed to try it out loud yet, but the neighbours are away this week I have tried these cabs out before though and I haven't heard anything better It's a 3 way design, with a 12", 6" and tweeter, all controlled by a custom designed, hand built crossover. It's an easy 1 hand lift and the fit and finish is incredible, especially considering it's a hand made cab, when the design finally makes full production it will be the best 3 way cab available on the earth, I honestly believe that! [attachment=115496:ACG_EAD_Nice.jpg] More to come over the next few days Eude

You can call it whatever you want, just make sure and bring it along Drop C is no problem either, be a nice workout for the EAD... Eude

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1344589146' post='1766673'] I'm going to try and make it and if I do I will definitely be up for giving it a bash [/quote] Nice one dude. You'll only get a shot if you bring along "Nessie" of course...

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1344585587' post='1766625'] I don't really know what markbass cabs sound like. The EAD cab has a very full, complete sounding frequency range- unlike the Aguilar 12's I played through at a gig recently(for instance) that were all top and bottom but not much mid. [/quote] +1,000,000. The sound form these EAD Cabs is "complete". Everything you put in, you get back out again, they're akin to high end PA speakers in that respect. I've never heard such clarity in a bass cab, almost like the sound you get from pro studio monitors. Charic, are you going to the SE Bass Bash? I should be there, with my EAD 1x12 if you fancy a wee shot?... Eude

I had a Thumb Bass Bolt On 5er a long time ago. I loved, in fact still love Warwick basses, but they're a little big for me. Having said that, now that they'll do custom 32" and 30" bolt on versions of their basses, if I ever win the lottery, there'll be a couple on my bucket list Eude

[quote name='Russ' timestamp='1343922891' post='1757415'] Sanderstead eh? I'm down the road in Selsdon. [/quote] Probably more like along the road, we're between Purley Oaks and Sanderstead train stations...
-
Very nice mate, I assume it's a single core 8 string bass, i.e. an ERB? How's it going to be tuned?... Eude
-
One of my absolute favourites, an ACG Recurve 5 string, beautiful and understated. Hope Owain doesn't mind me posting pictures of his bass, would love something similar at some point... Eude

Beautiful mate I've always loved Warwicks and that's a peach! Eude

[quote name='Skezza' timestamp='1343323216' post='1749003'] I have a little mark 2 that I would be prepared to do a trade with I am in staffordshire skez [/quote] Cheers Skez, I may well be interested in that, but would prefer an LM3 if it came up. I'm valuing the combo at about £400 so trades will need to be in that region with cash adjustment either way. I'll be getting my new cab some time next week, so I should have made up my mind by the week after Cheers, Eude

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1343404674' post='1750326'] Of course dude... [/quote] You're a leg end. Thanks dude

I've grown to like the shape of the LG. I'm not sure what it'd be like to wear, but I love the quirkiness of it, kinda like the Thumb Bass. Shep, once you've got this in your sweaty mitts, would you take some snaps of it on so we can see the advantages of the shape for us little fellas? Cheers, Eude

May still have my Promethean 5110C Combo too, but may shift that along, will have to see what happens with that one...

I'm definitely keeping this now, can't find anything out there that does all this, even at twice the price. Hey guys, just a feeler for now, not sure what I'm going to do yet, but just want to gauge interest. I've got an Ibanez Promethean 5110C Combo that I might put up for sale or trade. It's a removable 500W class D amp head in a 1x10 combo. It's an insanely flexible and loud little box, which is held in high regard and now that Ibanez have clearly gone mental, they're not making them anymore, so they're quite hard to come by. I've used this at home, predominantly for practice, but it has had the occasional outing where it easily kept up with a drummer, can probably be used for a non-metal gig up to about 100 folks without PA and then on stage for monitoring purposes when a PA is necessary, and that's all just in it's standard format, you can always whip the head out, or hook up an extension cab and you've got a 500W rig... Check out this review/comparison for more info >> [url="http://www.bassplayersunited.com/2011/04/gear-review-ibanez-promethean-combo-5110-vs-genz-benz-3-0-310t/"]http://www.bassplaye...-benz-3-0-310t/[/url] I've owned it since new, it's in perfect nick, bar a very small quirk in the finish, about the height of a 5p, which was on it when it shipped. I've got the annoying bag for it, and the original tags and instruction manual. Got a new 1x12 cab coming in, so I might like to shift this combo in favour of a MarkBass head, or potentially a GB Streamliner, I'd imagine with a bit of cash your way. Sorry but I won't be inetersted in anything else, just a MB head or a GB Streamliner, I don't want/need anything else. As far as a sale price is concerned, I reckon £400 is fair, but I'd be open to offers as long as they're not offensive or insane. I can provide photos of the combo if something comes of this thread. I'm in South London, well South Croydon/Sanderstead and could possibly meet in London, deliever within reason for costs, or courier, happy to discuss all that carp. Like I said, still a feeler, I might opt to keep this, once I've seen how it works with the new cab, but I do know that a MarkBass head will work very well with it, and I'm mad keen to have a go of a Streamliner. I'll have a clearer picture next week me thinks. Any questions, feel free to ask, or shoot me a PM. Cheers, Eude

Room for one more? I live in darkest Surrey these days, well Sanderstead anyway, and so far it looks like I have the 29th of September free. I can bring along a couple of ACG basses to show off, plus a few pedals and odds and sods. I'm also going to be the proud owner of one of the prototype EAD Foundation 112 cabs very VERY soon, not soon enough of course. I'll be able to bring it along for you guys to have a go if you fancy?

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1343293897' post='1748329'] I think they look bloody brilliant to be perfectly honest. I'd love to hear the stacked 112s, any chance of you getting to the SE Bass Bash with some??? [/quote] OK mate. I can exclusively reveal that I'll be taking delivery of one of the EAD 112 Prototypes very soon. It's just the one 1x12 but it's the best 1x12 cab I've ever seen and heard before in my life. I will try my bestist to make it along to the SE Bash so some of you peeps can give it a go. Sound good? Eude

[quote name='DirkThrust' timestamp='1343231657' post='1747484'] [i]Has anyone got an idea of the weight of these?[/i] [/quote] An easy one hand lift, I'd guess about 35 lbs, or there abouts. Remember that's the prototypes though, so they might end up a little lighter.
