Ok, that's still 30 quid cheaper for two sets! I don't suppose we'll see prices come down over here until the non MM Fat Beams start to arrive, and I don't think that will happen until the existing MMs have been sold, which may be a while away.

Yep, I bet two sets from them would still be less than one over here!

Yeah, he switched to Dunlops, still don't see how such a big price difference can be justified for the same strings pre and post endorsement. Blummin' outrageous if you ask me! Nice strings, mind...

DR Fat Beams, with picture of Marcus Miller on packaging, £45 from Bass Direct. Without picture of Marcus Miller on packaging, $20 from Bass Strings Online. Discuss.

Just received EWS Trilogic ll from Mike, speedy delivery and perfectly packaged! A pleasure to do business with!

Just received Carl Martin Classic Opto Compressor from Ian, speedy delivery and perfectly packaged! Thoroughly nice chap!

Somebody clearly got wind of the good reviews cos they're now the wrong side of a hundred quid!

Oh my, I want!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1458556006' post='3008462'] That IS a bargain - if you're in the market for an 8X10. I suppose 61kg isn't that heavy, really... [/quote] Lighter than the 4.5xl 4x10!

[quote name='deksawyer' timestamp='1458560790' post='3008518'] A wee bit late, but you can blame the Brits for that...here are 2 Eich 115 XS cabs - they're a lot smaller than they look. Will try them tomorrow night at volume... [/quote] They look great! Looking forward to the review!

[quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1458164424' post='3005306'] Bought this at the show. Sounds superbly superb. [/quote] Full review required!

They aren't vents, it's just the logo...

[quote name='3below' timestamp='1456862115' post='2993032'] Problem solved. Just succumb to GAS, have one of everything. [/quote] Down that path divorce lies...😧

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1456824101' post='2992490'] I've been gigging two Tecamp 15" cabs since the start of the year, and I must say they sound the biz. They each have a 4" driver as well, which sweetens them up a touch. Here's one from a little "cave time" day I had a couple of weeks ago [/quote] Lovely!

Yeah, every time I play through a 15 I find myself loving it, yet when the time comes to buy a cab I always think better go for 10's. Just don't have the courage of my convictions! I seem to have been conditioned into thinking a 15 will always be lacking something..."what if I need a Marcus Miller tone at any point? 15s can't do that! Or what if I need more mids? They can't do that, better with 12s..."

[quote name='deksawyer' timestamp='1456831084' post='2992579'] With trepidation, and a touch of inspiration from Mr wallbassist, I've ordered 2 new Eich 115XS cabs, which are virtually identical to those Tecamp cabs. Should be here in 2-3 weeks....... I say trepidation, because I have it in my mind (somewhat unwarranted I know) that 15" speakers are big, slow and old fashioned sounding (whatever the hell that is!). But I really know this isn't the case and I'm so looking forward to receiving the Eich cabs. D. [/quote] I'm looking forward to you receiving those Eich cabs as well cos I wanna know what you think of them! By the way, how will the Eichs differ from the TecAmp 15s? Do they have a tweeter or 4" paper cone? And how many pennies?

[quote name='deksawyer' timestamp='1456840605' post='2992756'] No room for 18's here, move along now!! D. [/quote] 😂

I think it's time I owned up to it, can't hide it any longer...I think I'm in love with 15" speakers. I know it's not cool but why fight it? Even the crappy Carlsbro or whatever it was 1x15 rehearsal room combo tonight sounded great, full, deep, clear. I just can't get my head around it! Those Baer 15s look nice, as do the TKSs. Heaven help me!

Agreed. Had "Back In Stride" when I were a nipper and loved his playing.

Where's molan when you need him!?

Wha'!!?? "TKS" in a post is traditionally good for two pages....! I guess the S2126 is the least popular of the range...😳
