In Eloise by The Damned, there is one point where Vanian pushes a bit to far on a long drawn out "Eloieeeeeeese" and to me it just sounds plain wrong. After the second verse as I recall, before the middle breakdown.

[quote name='stevie' post='740698' date='Feb 10 2010, 10:14 AM']As long as the 2 x 10 extends as low as your 15, I can't see that there is any difference in theory between a 15" with a 4 x 8" and a 2 x 10" with a 4 x 8". The Mini 15 doesn't go hugely low in the bass anyway.[/quote] S'what I'm thinking

[quote name='PaulWarning' post='740957' date='Feb 10 2010, 01:29 PM']Is it me or are the single bass notes out of time on the intro to Another Girl Another Plant by the Only Ones[/quote] Yeah, I know what you mean. Certainly doesn't feel right when you are playing along with it.

Welcome to the right side

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='739569' date='Feb 8 2010, 11:27 PM']it would depend on the design of the cabs but I would expect for average designed boxes that you'd get tight growly mids and the bass would be a bit flabby and boomy unless you had an accurate enough eq to dial out anything below 40-60Hz.[/quote] Tight growly mids sounds nice Bottom end bit should be managable, I think.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='739114' date='Feb 8 2010, 04:55 PM']Gonna be 'that guy' and say, try the 2x10 alone and the 4x8 alone, get two of whatever you like best.[/quote] Well, I'd dump the 4x8 to get 2 2x10s in the long run TBH. Just wondering if the 8 and 10 had been done by anyone.

So, I need to replace my Ashdown mini 15 and I have the urge to get a 2x10. It of course needs to be lightweight as I too am one of the many in the knackered back brigade. What I am wondering is how it would stack up with my Ashdown mini 4x8? I guess if I go down this route (finances suggest just one cab at the mo) then I would aim for the Ashdown Neo. I think my long term option is to get two of these. Giving me the flexability of one unit for rehersals and both for gigs. I have been reasonably happy with the 1x15 & 4x8 combination, typical rock style pub gigs, except I have always felt I don't quite get the projection of sound out front. So as an interim option, what do you think, 2x10 and 4x8 together?

[quote name='Delberthot' post='729801' date='Jan 30 2010, 03:55 PM']I'm sure there's one in Born to Be Wild that's like the Jean Genie one where the bass goes for the chorus slightly early.[/quote] Yup, there's a definite bass mistake in BTBW.

Anyone know if there is a genuine aftermarket black scratchplate available for a 2000 G T'bird?

Hmmm.. The Police. So Lonely. I think in the 3rd verse, the bass comes in on completely the wrong beat. The Police. Roxanne. Listen thru headphones and you can distinctly hear a number of edits, often the tape hiss gives it away. Beatles. Day Tripper. Where was Macca going at the end of that song just as it fades. It sounds very much like he has lost his place in the song. I love hearing mistakes in stuff and imagining the produce saying something like "Look, it really doesn't matter. Yes YOU notice it, because you played it.. but the punters are too stupid to hear it mate. We'll just let it go OK?"

Could be one of the original Klystron Bass Magnifiers? What does it say on the front? I have one of these very early 1x15 200W combos too. I think you should aim for the "first of a classic range" type thing and aim for the future collactability!! Otherwise.. no idea of price.

"they are on the top floor of a building at present and are a lifestyle choice" I wonder if they are wired in to some home stereo system pounding out some heavy beats in the top flat of a block somewhere... poor neighbours!

[quote name='ukbassboy' post='719484' date='Jan 20 2010, 07:44 PM']Yip, no vat or import duty applicable and courier charges treated internal US shipping. Thats about a £350 saving on the best UK price, sweet![/quote] Hey! Spill the beans on how that works chum!

Will do Stevie.

Ah bugger it. Well I suppose it edges me towards changing my gear then. If I can find a nice, loud, fat but fun and very lightweight 4x10 4ohm then I think that may be my option. Or maybe re-coning it?

All my basses are passive, and it is with any bass I play through it.

Hi Being a technical goof I'm not sure, but I think the speaker in my Ashdoen mini 15 is in a little trouble!! There is a quite obvious fuzz sound after playing a note, as soon as it decays. I'm guessing it's damaged in some way. This happens at any volume BTW. Anything I can do or tests to pin down what it may be? Cheers Mark

Yoda? Is that you??

Not a trick really, but I love having my wireless system so I can bugger off into the audience as and when the mood takes me. Sitting down at a table with some unsuspecting punters as I rattle out a bassline can be fun And on a practical note, it allows you to hear the sound mix out front too.

[quote name='Beedster' post='710134' date='Jan 12 2010, 04:01 PM']So Mark, is that neckly challenged P up for grabs now? I'll gladly give you back what you paid me! C[/quote] Uhm, in simple terms Chris... NO!!! I'm not beaten yet! Mark

One lovely and totaly awesome Shuker JJB bass is now in my hands and I'd like to say what a total pleasure it has been dealing with Clarky. It's great to have total faith in some one when you are carrying out a remote transaction, he has been helpfull throughout and I can 100% recommend Clarky for a straight up honest deal. Top class geezer! I have a small amount of guilt for hassling him about selling his JJB.. but that guilt is very quickly fading as I just can't put the damn thing down, and it's all mine now!!! Thanks again and I promise I'll look after it like one of my own limbs! Mark

When are you going to tell her??
