[/quote] I've had this too, I use my 'rubbish venue amp' which is an almost 20 year old Peavey combo in These situations, it's litterally indestructible I think! Sorry to go off topic, but out of interest, how is the EBS compared to the Genz, power wise? I'm so tempted by them, but 'only' having 350w does put me off.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1498557116' post='3325447'] I have to add that the S112 pair has been relegated to home use... They're great, but the pair of Barefaced Two10 when combined with the Mesa D800+ amplifier is a few notches above the S112 rig. It's bigger, but not terribly so and not that heavy either... and it sounds fantastic. The bottom end hits you, but I retain all the definition that I loved on the TKS cabs... a great sound that blends in beautifully in the band but retains presence and it just feels so powerful. I bet the TKS would sound great with the Mesa too, but the Two10 can use the power from the amp and deliver beyond what the smaller S112 cabs can do. I'm still loving the S112 cabs, which is why they stay until space becomes an issue, but there's no contest between these two rigs. Here's the new kid: [/quote] They look ace. Have to ask though, how is the vinyl finish? Have they sorted out whatever glue issue was causing them to strip? I wouldn't mind picking one up, if that's all history.

ACDC - You Shook Me Zombie - Cranberries Free - Alright Now Sweet Home - Skynard Free Falling - Tom Petty That's just off the top of my head from a recent gig. SO many great tunes, so few chords.

[quote name='petergales' timestamp='1497888135' post='3321144'] I use 2 Vanderkley 112EXTs and I'm very impressed with them. They are very articulate but still with lots of bottom end. I use either my DB751 or my PF800 through them. They are also very light, which is a real bonus when loading in and out involves flights of stairs or a fair walk to and from the car! The fact that they have handles on both sides encourages me to use both hands to lift them (although a one-handed lift is easy). I tore my shoulder doing a one-handed lift with a heavier cab that I once owned (ouch!). In short you wouldn't be disappointed with them. [/quote] I'd like to try 751 with with my MNT212. I've used various micro amps with mine and i prefer it with my Glockenklang. It is only a 600w rated cab, but the man himself said it'll work well with more. It's such a big sounding cab, I think it suits a heftier amp. I very tentatively put it up for sale, but am considering withdrawing it.

He'll sell every one that he builds, no worries. They're not mass produced, there won't be loads of them.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1497605847' post='3319411'] They make a larger version which, by coincidence, is teardrop shaped. Internal guitar case dimensions: Length 1245mm 49 " Lower Bout 393mm 15 1/2" Upper Bout 337mm 13 1/4" Body Length 558mm 22 " Body Depth 70mm 2 3/4" [/quote] Yeah, that one is too big! Haha.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1497522959' post='3318819'] This is mine. I've never had a bass complain it wasn't comfortable. [url="https://flic.kr/p/VPaE3K"][/url] [/quote] I have. If only they were 2cm longer. I bought a Gator GPE case, which compared to Hiscox is pretty much built like a carrier bag. The Hiscox is just a tiny bit too short.

[quote name='jammys' timestamp='1497306397' post='3317253'] Did anyone go to the festival? Did anyone think (strangely enough) that the bass output on the main stage was way to much on a number of occasions? [/quote] It was awful. Not just the main stage. Monitoring was terrible too.

Glockenklang Blue Sky for me. I've really liked quite a few of the class D heads I've had. But this one is a cut above IMO. Where the others all had a shortfall somewhere along the line, the Glockenklang doesn't really compromise.

I've just joined a band where they run tracks. The drummer triggers it with a Roland SPD SX, he also runs in ears and plays to a click. I might end up going with in ears too I think. The tracks are good, not sure where they're from, but I guess it's all MIDI as he can remove whatever element we don't want and also rearrange and shift keys.

[quote name='The-Ox' timestamp='1496969057' post='3315059'] nice! Thats the house amp right? I'm playing at the Isle of Wight festival this weekend and thats what they have so I'll use it. Never tried it before [/quote] Yep. On a few stages. Where are you playing? I've got two sets this weekend.

[quote name='dand666' timestamp='1496933653' post='3314816'] Learn songs in numbers then transposing becomes easy. [/quote] Definitely! Also for learning what your major/minor/dominant/diminished chords are in any key, helps so much for creating lines and fills.

For what it's worth, I went back to a 212 because I never used the 112s separately. The 212 is about 25kg, so not awful. There are times where the easier carry would be nice. But I'm not desperate to go back to separates. That depends on your transport and health though I guess! Having one bigger cab is more of a pain at home than out at a gig actually.
