Mike?

this argument is so old and done to death.

How much of a chance have you had to play around with them yet? When I had a pair of Loud 2x10's and a pair of Acme 2x10's that while the mids were nicely defined, the lows were often boomy. Have you found this? I've also noticed that I got better projection when one is sat on the other - perhaps because of an acoustic coupling effect.

But still worth looking at. They're quite light for non neo cabs if you go for something that isn't a 4x10 Goliath or bigger.

There might be a few things of help in my Shuker build diary perhaps? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8263&st=180&start=180"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...0&start=180[/url]

OK, the auction has a reserve but might still go for a steal. Worth keeping an eye on...

Not sure its 2x12", more likely to be 2x10" but still a nice price if you're in the market for a powerful, compact combo for small stages.

Acoustic amps were amongst the best quality solid state kit before Trace Elliot came on the scene.

I had the same experience myself recently Al and it was bittersweet. But all things must come to pass eventually. Doesn't mean you can't keep working with your band mates in a different capacity either, does it? Good luck for your blues band too, it sounds really promising.

[quote name='Josh' post='433899' date='Mar 13 2009, 04:59 PM']The widdling from Janek, Hadrien and Damien could easily be replaced by a couple of other well known Gospel bassists (Justin Raines, Maurice Fitzgerald & Dwayne Wright would've been perfect).[/quote] I couldn't agree more mate. And Mr Reed while we're at it. I'm glad Peanut got a shout here too.

As far as I'm aware, there's noone producing a stereo valve power amp, if thats any help? At 200w a side it might be a lucrative market niche for a low volume maker perhaps? Otherwise, if you could give me a 400w version of my road rashed 2 channel Burman Pro4000HD, with an effects loop, switchable voltage, the Trace V8 compressor, 3 band parametric eq and a smaller chassis I would sell you my sister. Its running some really nice 5157's in the preamp section and EL34's in the power amp section at the mo and it keeps making dirty, seductive noises at my Celinder Classic P when they're not attached to one another.

He's double thumbing, and I like the sound of his voice.

[quote name='bassbluestew' post='433749' date='Mar 13 2009, 02:58 PM']I am still getting a problem, for example when I try to look at the Smith thread on the for sale forum. Many thanks for looking at this when I know you have more pressing personal issues going on ( redundancy etc )[/quote] Hey no problem. It's not like I'm run off my feet with job applications at the moment. For the four that are in, things are looking positive and I may yet still be faced with a choice! In the meantime people are taking their time to make decisions, so its just me and th' toys... OK I think I know where the problem is - spent hamsters. So I've just chucked in a new pair of 18v upgrades and inserted a fresh set of rubber bands. So if you have any other problems let me know. (Seriously though, I've made a tweak. So let me know if you do have problems )

I was quite excited about this until I saw the video. I think its soulless compared to the gospel I like listening to. Where's the love?

Please note IP addresses might change if your ISP using a dynamic IP assignment. Basically that means your ISP assigns you a new IP from a range that are available at the time you sign in. However your ISP will also keep a log of where each ISP has been assigned so that in the event of something illegal happening, its possible for the ISP to tell the law enforcement authorities who was using what ISP given a time and date of posting. However while I can see the IP of all posters on this forum, I have no way of telling whether the IP you're posting in this forum is the same as the one you've been assigned while encountering problems if you've logged off your internet connection inbetween. If you want to find out your IP then there are websites that will ping your connection and tell you.

The lines of the scratch plate are a bit weak in relation to the pickups but apart from that, its a very distinctive looking bass. I think some sound clips would be very interesting when you finally recieve it!
