The passive DI looks like a molten lego brick!

I'd just replace Billy Gould in Faith No More!

[quote name='4000' post='381805' date='Jan 15 2009, 10:26 PM']Ok, it's pretty much fixed that I hate tweeters (well, certainly with the Rics, which are my main gigging basses). So, for a man who hates tweeters, are the Schroeders going to work? Can you turn the tweeters off? If so, should you? They're on my short list for replacement cabs (something I need very soon, although I'm still struggling cash-wise at the moment) but I'm really worried about ending up with something that's going to be to glassy for me. I've posted this before in other places, and this is something like my ideal tone. Jorg reckons I should be able to get it no problem, but with all respect to him I'd just like a few more unbiased opinions. FWIW I'd say Jon Camp (the player featured) probably plays harder than me, but it's a similar sound (although grittier) to what I used to get from my old (very old) Trace rig. Oh, I'm using an Ashdown ABM500 head. All the Schroeder clips I've seen are nothing like this style or sound so it's really difficult to judge.

The one in the 1212r i have isn't really offensive, just the highs are more natural with it turned off. I'd say it's anything but glassy. I have a low-mid heavy tone which the Schro does brilliantly, miles better than any other cab i've heard. Get one!

It does pay to get a proper regulated guitar jobby though. I was getting uncontrollable noise from an EBS pedal and thought it was broken. I used it with a few generic adapters (correct voltage, polarity etc.) and it wasn't until i tested it with a dedicated Ibanez power supply that it worked. The generic adapters were fine with my other pedals too. The only difference AFAIK is that the Ibanez one was regulated

There was a sweet Tobias 5er in the for sale section a few days ago for around your price range, lovely basses them.....

A bit OTT for me i think. Much prefer a nice plain finish... must be getting old!

/\ Wot they said /\ Bought a few things from Steve, thoroughly nice lad.

Pleasant guy, knobs arrived quickly! Cheers dude!

The Eq and Tuner pedals didn't last the gig. Fortunately we were playing at a venue on the promenade so they were thrown in the sea within 5 mins of the last song. Behringer pedals are excellent value for money, as long as you don't have to step on the pedally bit!

I think dangerboy was selling a short scale for £80, give him a shout. Looks a beaut!

Here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34586"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34586[/url] There's more good threads a couple of pages in on this section of the site, you may have to dig through to find out what relates to you but it's all sound information

We've heard loads about the new Hartke heads but not the new cabs. IIRC they're a new design incorporating aluminium and paper in the cones? Best trying them out first as they might not be what you're looking for. I remember the review of the new gear saying they don't have the expected low end of a traditional 8x10, which isn't ideal for such a big heavy cabinet! The Ampeg 8x10s are very cheap 2nd hand nowadays purely down to the fact that heavy gear is unfashionable and we've all discovered there's no need to lug all that weight around anymore Don't always think you have to get massive cabs to make serious noise, i've got a similar Schroeder to Delberthot and it's by far the most efficient cab i've tried (i've had 4 Hartke cabs too, VX and XL series). It's also well documented on this site that the traditional arrangement of 1x15 and 4x10 isn't always the best option. There's some recent threads in this section with loads of great information in

There was some Hartke 2x10s in the for sale not so long ago IIRC, they're not too heavy and you could always get another for gigs and just use one for practice. There's also this which is a steal at the moment: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28311"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28311[/url] I used to practice up 2 flights of stairs in a building with very high ceilings (we also used to store all our PA there....). Small and light is DEFINITELY the way to go if stairs are involved!

LMII - Everything pretty much flat, depending on the room/where the cab is etc. Sometimes a little high-mid boost . Have the VLE off and the VPF no further than 11 o'clock. If i need any boost i usually just use the 3 band eq on my bass
