I've got a super 12 with a shuttle 9, very light cab but a do find I have to eq it alot to get any bottom end 'presence' from it, I'd go with the neox 212

Hi guys, picked up the wal passive that I brought on here a couple of days back, first gig last night, one of those basses that immediately feels soo right , and well the sound just speaks for itself. Simply stunning. I've had/ still got a wal 5 for years but to be honest it never gets gigged cos I just can't get into the ' 5 string thing' but this latest one, what can I say but WAL!!!

Yeah I wish they still made the ae 12's ! If they did I think I'd get a pair too. Got a pair of ae 210s and they are great! Good luck with things anyway, and have a great Christmas !!

I have a shuttle 6 & 9. They are voiced slightly different, the 9 designed for bigger type cabs. Obviously it would give more power into 8 ohms for you but if you mainly use one cabI don't think you'd be using it to its full potential , especially a small ae112. I've just got a barefaced super 12 and to my ears the 6 sounds better through it than the 9,.on the other hand the 9 into my two neox 112 sounds huge, rich and creamy.i don't think you'd notice that much difference.maybe just try the bass boost to fill out the sound a bit?.. Innit

I can drown the band in deep bass, twangy highs and everything in between. I own 4 Bergantino cabs and haven't experienced any downsides regarding tone, volume or quality.[/quote] nice one guys,thanks for your imput.i guess the thing that intrigues me without having tried them is that the ae112s are even lighter than my neox12s!maybe im just splitting hairs here and getting really lazy!i use my two ae210s for the larger gigs and the're fine too,guess im too spoilt with this lightweight stuff.ha

hi all, dont post much i must admit but was wondering if anyone could offer their opinions?ive already got two neox 12 cabs that i run through my shuttle 6.im very pleased with my sound but am i right in thinking that the bergs wouldnt be quite as full sounding as my exsisting rig due to smaller cab size and lighter weight? and/or how do the neox112s compare to the ht112er and ex112er? also is anyone running two ex112s?i know they have no tweeters but they are a bit lighter than the ht.any thoughts would be appreciated.ta

hi all,im after a a shaped hardcase for my alembic stanley bass.does anyone know if it would fit in a gibson sg bass case? i want a nice snug fit ,dont want her flopping around inside.or is there a specialist case company that do one?the standard case gets on my wick,being too big and heavy.i would consider a gig bag too if theres one out there thats not too big and long.any advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated.regards jeff

thanks for the info,never heard of this guy before,theres a few options i want to explore and i will certainly check him out.best regards,jeff

hi all ! just wondering has anyone out there got or has played a birdsong hy5 shorty? very intrigued by their method of getting more tension on the b string with the through body 'wrap round' system they do.alot of people say you really need a 35' neck,but do you? i love short scales and the thought of a short 5 gets me going somewhat.anat

hi all,i phoned paul regarding him making me a lined fretless neck for my wal 5,seems a very nice fella.i mailed him some pics of the bass and he said he'd get back to us with a more accurate price and a rough date as to when he could fit me in.guess the guy must be very busy cos i never got a reply.must have been a good 6 weeks ago now.anat

Oh and I see you have an Ibanex Musician. Very yummy bass. So, are you drunk yet?? [/quote] im sober again now but yeah i was 'away with the fairys' last night.paying the price today though! rough as a badgers a***hole.i never learn.yeah ive had an ibanez musician since 82 or 83 cant remember exactly when.it was my main bass for 20 years!bit battered now but still an absolutely amazing bass.very very well built and lovely tones.actually when using that with the shuttle i find i have to boost the highs to 3'0clock whereas with the alembic i take em down to 9.best of luck when you gig your shuttle,let us know how you get on and stuff regards jeff

[quote name='Linus27' post='558057' date='Aug 1 2009, 08:17 PM']The problem I am having is I am getting to much mids but can't seem to work out how to dial it out. Probably sound great live [/quote] well this is the thing! i thought the same when i first got mine,that prehaps it had too much of a mid 'hump' but that changed when i got to gigging with it.to my ears it cuts through the mix better that way.sometimes you have to sacrifice a little something.like when i had my old trace ah300,the 'famous' pre set sounds were beautiful to behold when it was just you playing, but to my ears useless with the rest of the band,just getting lost in the mix.im not slagging t elliot by the way,because it done stirling service for 18 years without so much as a blip!just what i found with it.the shuttle certainly has that mid 'hump'i think most people would agree,whether its the right sound for you time will tell.im going to get drunk now cos its sat night and just sometimes its nice not to have a gig! all the best,jeff

[quote name='Linus27' post='557420' date='Jul 31 2009, 08:45 PM']So thats basically everything running flat apart from the high at 9 o' Clock which is just adding some treble right??[/quote] yeah thats what i like about the shuttle,the fact that i think it sounds good with everything set basically flat apart from the odd tweek here and there...simple..like me! i have used a single 112x cab for small pubs which sounds suprisingly good too.i have the tweeters set at 25%.i think its very true that what sounds like a good bass sound when you,re right in front of the amp playing to yourself is not nescessarly the right tone to cut through the mix and be heard at the gig!

[quote name='Linus27' post='555617' date='Jul 29 2009, 09:34 PM']I have just bought a Shuttle 6 and I love it. I first played it through a borrowed Epifani 310 and it sounded amazing. I then bought the Genz Benz NEO 212 cab and this also sounds great. However, I feel the Epifani with the Shuttle 6 sounded better. Much crisper and precise sounding. However, I will add that I have not really had much chance to fiddle with the Shuttle 6 and NEO 212 together so in time, I may say this setup sounds better. Either way, the Shuttle 6 is awsome.[/quote] hi mike, in answer to you're question of my amp settings,i tend to run the shuttle 6,starting left to right;tube preamp at 1'o clock.volume 12'o clock.low 12.o5.mid at 12.o5.mid freq at12 and high at 9'oclock.as you can tell im not the technical sort but this gives me a nice what i term 'rich smooth non boxy 'tone.thats with an alembic stanley bass.think the whole set up is quite middly anyway but i dont like a boomy sound anyway.ive never heard a neox212 i must admit.jeff genzler said 2 x 112 neoxs would give a fuller sound than a single 212 he reckoned so i trusted his judgement and got em.one persons idea of a good tone may not be anothers i guess but im pleased with things.sorry i cant give you a more technical assessment.all the best of luck,regards jeff

hi all,ive got a shuttle 6 and 2 neox112's.very easy to lug and very versatile having the two seperate cabs.deep,rich,yet fairly punchy still.done the big trace thing for 18 years but i think this current set up is actually better sounding anyway.after a gig i can be away in 5 mins if i want to.no more waiting for someone else to give me a lift!plenty bloody loud too.very pleased...though i'd like to try some bergantino 210's to see if they live up to the hype,but hey,thats another story...
