Isn't there an SB700 for sale in the classifieds?

We were in a similar position and our soundman (John) bought a pair of Yamaha DXR 15s (mk2). Very similar stats to the RCF 935 apart from the wattage rating which is roughly double on the RCFs, but they're bi-amped which is possibly the reason for that figure, same SPL figures. We found they were excellent for average pub gigs, he's kept the subs for bigger gigs but due to Covid happening not long after getting them we haven't tried them in a larger setting, so they might be fine. Obviously a different speaker to the RCF but the Yamaha definitely coped fine with the whole band through them (drums/bass/electric guitar/acoustic 12 string/vocals). At the first gig where we tried them, John was nervous (he gets that way) so I said I'd bring my amp and set it up but keep the volume off, then if the Yamahas didn't cope I could just turn it up. When I got there he'd also set up the subs in case (as I said, he gets panicky). Anyway towards the end he brings a punter up on stage behind me. Afterwards I ask who he was. He was someone in a another band who had commented to our John what a great sound we had, best he'd heard for a long time. John had told him it was all through the tops, no subs or backline. He had to show him my volume was completely off for him to believe it was all out of the Yamaha DXRs. As I said, different, but comparable speakers, so might be of help, and going by popularity and specs, I'd guess the RCFs would be even better.

Like most things, PayPal is fine when used correctly.

Yes that's right, well some folks will get all uppity and correctly say we're talking about compliance, but everyone knows what we mean. It seems odd because changing to strings with more tension usually means the neck will bend more and raise the strings off the board, and the opposite with lower tension. If the strings are sitting lower this would indicate the strings have, in fact, a lower overall tension than the Rotosound's, but maybe feel stiffer due to construction. I'd certainly like it if Cobalts were a fairly high tension.

I want to try some Cobalts but I really do not like anything even approaching low tension, which I thought the Cobalts were. It's odd that you consider them higher tension than your old Rotosound's yet the strings are sitting closer to the board, which surely would indicate a relaxing of the neck due to less tension on it? I may have to just bite the bullet and try a set.

Didnt they do that terrible white/light blue/dark blue fade along with the Tequila Sunrise? Not a fan of either.

Don't Let Me Down, Gently - The Wonder Stuff

I don't know, but his technique has put me off dealing with him. Pick a price pal and stick with it. His BBPH was £1500 reduced to £1350 when I saw it. A day later it was reduced to £1100. A couple of days later it's back up to £1500. I was interested in his Eastwood Hooky 6 which was at £600 down from original listing price of £900, now it's £850. I can't comment on actually dealing with him as I haven't, but by all accounts it's not easy. He's got some great kit though, just a bizarre way of advertising.

A great first bass. Sure beats the likes of Kay we all seemed to start with. 🙂👍

Being driven around is a bit decadent isn't it?

Just messaged you. 👍

BBPH for sale on facebook in Brighton if anyone's looking. Nice woodgrain on front and back. Bit pricey but that's probably the way they're heading. Not mine BTW.
