Totally brilliant event - I especially enjoyed NOT having a hangover on the Sunday morning for this one. It was good to catch up with people again, and to meet others for the first time. The guitarist and drummer were stars, and Laurences talk on jazz improv was both fascinating, thought provoking, inspiring and confusing in roughly equal measures. A big thank you to Alan and Dave for organising it, and another to Dave for the lift there and back. Roll on the next one.

I ordered some about 18 months ago, and IIRC he wasn't the quickest to respond. I'd send him another email, or look him up on Talkbass - he did have an account on there.

Eude[/quote] Through a series of unrelated events, new bass day has turned into 'new bass long weekend' I know what you mean about going to pick them up too, the bass has gone straight from the builder to the owner without any middlemen. Gaving it sat on the back seat without being able to play it tested my patience a bit though. I didn't notice the smell till I got it out of the case at home to be honest.

Here's a pic from Alan, I'll create a thread in the Gear Porn section when I have a little more time [attachment=47175:IMG_4489.jpg] :wub:

[quote name='eude' post='803425' date='Apr 12 2010, 09:34 AM']Congrats matey! Awesome news Pics Pics Pics - in your own time of course Eude[/quote] Yeah, it's certainly good news. I'll get it in enough time to experiment with the preamp before our next gig this Saturday. It'll be a bit of a trial by fire for it tbh, it's one of the more 'lively' places we've played I'll get some pics posted as soon as I have some

Quick update, I'm off up to Moffat to pick this up on Wednesday

Have a look at [url="http://www.trainear.com"]this link[/url] - they provide a free online ear trainer where you can pick the intervals or chords you want to work on. I use it as homework for lessons.

[quote name='richrips' post='798007' date='Apr 6 2010, 08:50 PM']Check the comparison graph here: [url="http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8778"]http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopi...f=12&t=8778[/url] I opted for the kappalite basically because i could afford it at the time and wanted to build the best cabs i could afford. it will have slightly smoother response through the mids than the deltalite and as it has slightly higher x-max and thermal limits it should be able to go a tad louder if i really push the amp, although i have no way of comparing and the difference may be slight for all i know and if i'd been short of cash would have gone for the deltalite. One cab may be loud enough for you, depending on what you want. My rig with 2 cabs would be fine in a medium venue with no PA. One cab would be fine for most smaller places. For heavy metal without PA support (or just to be massively loud onstage) i would go with 2 so you get kickass volume. if you play through the PA and your rig is for monitoring only you should be fine with one most of the time. I havn't needed to crank my rig to full power at all yet and we play Loud Reggae/ska/fun. I know most of this is subjective, but i hope it helps! Cheers, Rich[/quote] Thanks for that Rich, I'm currently using 2 x Omni 10.5's with DLII's in and while they sound great, I wonder whether the low B on my TRB1006 could be better. Of course it could be the bass itself or the strings, but I've always wondered how I'd fare with a 12. I think I'll prolly build just the one first to see how i get on, and maybe add a second if I need to, and if a direct comparison between and Omni10.5 and a Jack 112 inclines me that way (which I am expecting it to.) I'll probably go for the Kappa this time round just to try something different. I'm playing in a loud rock band, and we've just moved to a new rehearsal space where we can store our gear, so both guitards are now threatening to bring their (matching ) 4x12 extension cabs . I'm confident that the omnis will hold their own, I just want to hit those brown notes to teach them a lesson. I may try a 15'' build in the future, but for now I still like the modular, lightweight cab idea. Have you seen the fEarful cabs over on talkbass?

Hi Rich, I'm starting a Jack 112 build soon, I have a couple of questions you might be able to help me with what made you choose the Kappalite over the Delta Lite II? what kind of band are you playing in, do they play load? I'm wondering whether one Jack112 will cope with a fairly loud rock band? cheers
