Hi Pete. Don't get hung up on the ext cab being a 1x15 for more bottom end; a 2x10 or 1x12 could just as equally give you the extra bottom end; in fact just adding an ext cab of ANY description will move more air, give you a lower load on the amp and increase the perceived bottom end. As to how you control the volume from each; there is no reasonable means to do this, you'd have to just suck it and see but just out of interest why would you need to attenuate one cab or the other. If your internal combo/cab is 8ohms and the ext cab is 8ohms you'd divide the load between them and only speaker sensitivity would dictate which sounded louder. All the more reason for getting a cab with the same size drivers as are in the combo.

It's been said time and again that you can't categorically say that a 2x10 has more punch/top end than a 1x12 just as a 1x15 doesn't have more bottom end that a 1x12; it literally depends on the design, spec and quality of the units being compared. I've had umpteen people ask my if my cabs (Aggie DB112) are 1x15 as they have so much bottom end, I've also had people comment that you can tell the difference when a bassist puts his bass/backline through a PA that has subs... I wasn't through the PA at the time! Conversely I'm not saying that the Aggie or any 1x12 will slay any other standalone cab, it literally depends on the cabs being compared and you should take speaker diameter out of the equation. When you get into the realms of 4x10 v 1x12 then the physical size and volume of air, paired with multiple drivers WILL make a difference. The amount of bassists on here who have first hand experience of multiples of the same cab being greater than the sum of the parts is a good reason to look at doubling up on whatever cab you eventually get. One of my DB's sounds decent enough but when you stack a pair of them... then you hear/feel the difference. Oh and a tip for DB112 users; if you aren't likely to be barging and bumping into your backline, try stacking your cabs on their sides with something like the hard foam that they ship PCs in, cushioned between/around the handles, it makes an even greater difference when you get that second cab a little higher.

[/quote] More than one available? I'd think that WPD will be collecting so there's not likely much can be wrong... is there? If it does turn out to be kosher, Wayne can buy two! LOL

No worries. Oh and I did eventually get 'Rita' the Sterling up to the NE!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1326656369' post='1500083'] Mine [/quote] Nice one!

Too big and heavy for an owld fella like me but someone wanting a fridge style cab could do worse than £200 for a new Marshall 8x10... Yes/No?

That's more like it!

[quote name='fender73' timestamp='1326571674' post='1499085'] Great collection mate [/quote] Cheers. I have one or two others out of shot (Parker Fly, Warwick Infinette, Aria Sinsonidia) but if I'm picking up a bass for a gig, it is one of these!

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1326561961' post='1498921'] What year Sterling is that? Very tasty, same finish as mine, 'cept mines neck is 1 piece birdseye maple. [/quote] The dark one with the mutes is a '94; a plain maple neck and a nice deep slab of rosewood to top it off!

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1326561776' post='1498913'] Whooaa Rita returns Very nice too, has she aged well? [/quote] Same as when she left you I'd say!

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1326561403' post='1498901'] Did you sort a piezo for the Parker Fly, WH? [/quote] The guy sorting it did. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1326561564' post='1498905'] What, as in think you will have to wait till then before the secondhand prices are above that of a new mexican fender? [/quote] [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1326561564' post='1498905'] I'm guessing it's .... must be an infinity unless you sold them both? [/quote] Correct. The 'new' one, 1991 bass that has never been gigged and is in museum quality condition.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1326560967' post='1498892'] Jon! there's as many sterlings there as there are warwicks! (but glad to see old red still there) [/quote] I have another Warwick tucked under the bed as my pension! LOL

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1326559211' post='1498870'] difficult to say...i may drop them a line and let them know. [/quote] That would certainly clarify it for a potential buyer if not for us!

[quote name='Jigster' timestamp='1326559316' post='1498871'] I'm in love with that! What a great sound - [/quote] Cheers but it is literally through a pants camera mic, with the bass going through my Tech 21 guitar combo, the bass sounds better through a proper bass rig and in the flesh.

[quote name='Jigster' timestamp='1326557953' post='1498849'] Looking good. what's the sound of a Bolin like? Any sound clips/youtube links you can point me to? [/quote] I was messing about trying a camera out so there is a small clip here but not truly representative. It sounds great fingerstyle, very open and responsive but it will NOT do slap!

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1326555386' post='1498793'] that's an EMC (european music company ?) pickup... i think tanglewood are part of the EMC stable. edit: looks like an similar pickup on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/73418-tanglewood-warroior-ii-vintage-bass/"]this thread[/url] [/quote] Well spotted but the seller does clearly state 'EMG' in the title and in the listing. An oversight or hoping to catch the unwary/stupid?

[IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/warwickhunt/IMG_0071.jpg[/IMG] I sold my Zon Sonus and felt compelled to replace it... with two basses. The 'Jaffa Cake' Bolin is new and delivered from the States last week... 4 years after I bought the green one from the very same guy! The lighter coloured Sterling (white plate) is a return of an old flame; Rita!

Do EMG do a pick-up that has the legend 'EMG ELECTRONIC' stencilled on the outside like this? [b] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190627740564?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1202"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190627740564?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1202[/url][/b] Added to which it looks very crude underneath (just a pair of Jazz pups in a MM casing though the top shows the 4 large pole magnets) and certainly the wiring/soldering looks a tad shoddy for EMG! I could be wrong but it just doesn't seem like an EMG product.

As much power as you can afford with more inputs than you 'think' you need! Try and source a set of Peavey Hisys cabs (the 15" Black Widow equipped should be in your price bracket). We had a set and gigged pubs with them for 15 years without ever blowing a speaker (though a few Hisys had blown horns in the early days they were generally sorted under warranty), sold our cabs last year for £100 to a local DJ and they are still going strong despite being used 5 nights a week since I sold them!
