    [quote name='Josh' post='199044' date='May 14 2008, 08:53 PM']Yerp, it's just sat on the opposite side of my room glaring at my Eden, so it is just gathering dust and I'd be more than happy to see someone make use out of it.[/quote] If you're prepared to box this up, I'll take it and leave it at our rehearsal space! I'll go and get a glass of wine and when I get back someone had better have bought this Oh and can I be cheeky and ask if the rack head is included
  2. warwickhunt
    I appreciate (as will the buyer BC love but you'd get a wedge more than that on Gumtree/eBay! Come on guys snap this up QUICK If this lasts longer than an hour there is something seriously wrong!

    [quote name='voxpop' post='198886' date='May 14 2008, 05:00 PM']Hi Guys, did anyone try or like the Glock head, I have the Heart rock and wondered what you thought of the Art. It was on my short list of gear to try but couldn't find one in the UK. Thanks.[/quote] [quote name='ped' post='198896' date='May 14 2008, 05:11 PM']Also interested to hear how the Glock compared to the others, which cabs suited it best etc? Looks like brilliant fun, certainly better than your average Tuesday. Cheers for the pics ped[/quote] The Glock had literally arrived that afternoon and we were 1/2 way through the sampling before I got around to soldering up an XLR to Speak-on lead, so it didn't get a thorough test BUT it certainly seemed to shine when WoT put his fretless through it. We ran the amps on pretty much their mid/flat settings (contentious but for these purposes they were considered flat) and the Glock meant my expectations in the short time that we ran it (too many amps - not enough time). It appeared full without being flabby and had a clarity across the range that seemed to suit all of the cabs, which not all of the amps did. Not that there was a bad combination among them and as Robert said with a touch of EQing you could have brought most of the combinations within a gnat's chuff of each other with few exceptions. If I was forced to pick I'd say that the Glock partnered the Schroeder well but we'd be really nit-picking

    [quote name='ste_m3' post='198699' date='May 14 2008, 01:20 PM']Ive found my schroeder to be miles "louder" than anything else ive played. and thats only the 1212, although its the R not the L verision, which apparently has more beef, but i cant vouch for that! Ive still got mixed opinions about the tech gear, ive got it in my head that its a bit weedy, with not even nearly any evidence to suggest so. just a weird subconcious assosiation![/quote] I'll try and add full thoughts this evening (and the lads will chip in) but the Tech is far from weedy! It has quite a flat response (measured with 3 sets of ears rather than any scientific proof) and desperately cried out to be fed watts It seemed to come into its own the more power it was given.

    [quote name='alexclaber' post='198683' date='May 14 2008, 01:01 PM']And this is where anecdotal evidence causes serious misinformation. Alex[/quote] I know where what you're saying here Alex (mid humps et al) but it was 'noticeably' different from both the 5.3 ohm Epi and the 5.3 ohm Tech and at various levels with a variety of amps! I would concede that the natural tone of the cab might account for some of the perceived volume increase (and nobody was more surprised than I) but it wasn't a subtle difference

    [quote name='thinman' post='198369' date='May 13 2008, 11:19 PM']Still can't tell which one's you.[/quote] WoT had the camera, rslaing looks comfortable with a 6 string SEI and... I have hair Must say it was a blast but 3 hours just flew by Revelations... at least for me All basses should have LEDs My Tech cabs eats wattage Schoeders are cleverly designed and eat cabs EBS TD650's have a lot more tonal variation that I imagined 4ohms is 'significantly' different to 5.3ohms regardless of sensitivity WoT should never be let loose with round-wounds I'll get up tomorrow morning and have given this some serious thought. Cheers RL & MB My basses were an 88 Stage II with EMGs and an EB/MM Sterling with Nordstand

    [quote name='Charla' post='197402' date='May 12 2008, 07:12 PM']The Ampeg and an ABM 1 x 15 are posted in the Amp & Cabs threads, not a sniff, which is why I was thinking of modding the Ampeg. I was looking to buy one of the Epifani UL310's that were for sale on this site with the proceeds, they've gone now! It's a dilemma as i want something light weight but can't afford to have 4 cabs lying around the house! Thanks for the advice, I'll think long and hard before making a decision. Cheers Charla[/quote] I'm not saying it wouldn't work... happy accidents happen! Problem is when you come to sell your modded cab it'd 'probably' be worth about the same as a standard cab. Saying that you 'might' recoup some money by selling your standard Ampeg drivers. Never an easy call but I'd still say selling your cabs as is (even at a reduced price) and buying something built and designed around a driver will still be the most cost effective.

    [quote name='Charla' post='197320' date='May 12 2008, 05:15 PM']I have an Ampeg SVT 410HE and I'm thinking of replacing the speakers with Neodymium Drivers. Ampeg suggest Eminence speakers, but there's a choice of 4 choices; Deltalite II 2510 250W 10"; Basslite S2010 10"; Basslite CA2010; Basslite CH2010 10"? If I'm going to spend over £200 on speakers I want to make sure I get the right ones!! Cheers Charla[/quote] You've no idea how this might affect the tone! I doubt very much whether it'd sound like your old cab but lighter in weight. Not saying it will be worse but it will almost certainly sound different. You 'might' be better off selling the Ampeg and buying a Neo equipped cab, at least you'll be able to try before you buy Just my thoughts.

    [quote name='geilerbass' post='196641' date='May 11 2008, 07:25 PM']I think the NT Vampyre is up with the Dolphin and Infinity in terms of price - or am I getting confused here... [/quote] No, you are correct. I'm not 'that' familiar with the more unusual members of the Warwick stable and just plain forgot that one

    [quote name='NickSpector' post='196608' date='May 11 2008, 06:09 PM']I thought the Streamer STage 1 & 2 and the Thumb neck throughs were the daddys? They certainly sting the wallet accordingly.....[/quote] TBH of the 'off-the-shelf' models the Dolphin and Infinity (excepting the Stryker & Buzzard which are hardly 'off the shelf' models) are the most expensive I believe. You are right though that the Thumb & Stage II follow these up.
  14. warwickhunt
    I surely can give a BIG thumbs up to this bass as would eubassix who I got it from! Seriously overlooked bass and would hold its own against most basses costing 4/5 times as much. Give this a whirl I doubted you'd be disappointed.

    [quote name='lmbalcao' post='196496' date='May 11 2008, 01:16 PM']EBS Gorm ET-350 2x10" in great condition. Asking Price: 1250 Euros (negotiable) + Shipping Feel free to ask any questions by pm or mail. Thanks[/quote] Nice combo! Why not pop along to the 'Introductions' section and let fellow members know a bit more about you, it makes sales so much easier

    [quote name='minty fresh death' post='196442' date='May 11 2008, 11:49 AM']hey man, what's the f/s price... I can't find them new for love not money and the only cab I can find on their site is the ND610S not XT?[/quote] I knew someone on here had been looking for one (just about to check my old emails) for a while... you'll have an idea of the price from your research and I may well have given you the low-down on the trials and tribulations of my getting one, so base any offer upon that BUT I do have to say that I either need something lined up (concrete not a vague offer to sell/buy) to purchase before I sell! Hence the feeler for trades

    [quote name='Huge Hands' post='196486' date='May 11 2008, 12:48 PM']Yup. Let me check into it at work tomorrow before I make a fool of myself, unless Mr Hunt's solution beats me to it![/quote] Not trying to steal your thunder HH. I just suggested a local (to WoT and I) retailer that specialise in fixings and fastenings, they do all sorts of self tappers and bolt fastenings so I suggest he try them

    [quote name='Wooks' post='196459' date='May 11 2008, 12:10 PM']QUOTE (Bassworm @ Apr 22 2008, 06:18 PM) * Well, the NS CR4M has become available again. Anyone interested? Is the price the same as was? If I had 900 squids I would take this off your hands but alast my funds can't stretch anywhere near that. I've been let down on a nice EUB recently A guy I know said his wife was selling her EUB at a decent price because she doesn't use it and it just sits in the kitchen gathering dust then he spoke to her about my interest and she virtually trebled the price he quoted me, for only reasons that are known to her!! Even this guy couldn't understand her reasoning But I wish you well with the sale and have a bumpy one on me [/quote] I thought this was sold!

I am selling the AccuGrooves so I can try something different, I've got my eye on TerryK's Berg but I also quite fancy whynot's Tech cab. This 6x10 would be cool too. Are you interested Mr Hunt?

    [quote name='mikeh' post='196368' date='May 11 2008, 10:06 AM']If it was a schroeder it'd be the L version. Only weighs 47lb. Good luck with the sale anyway.[/quote] I'm not discounting this possibility Mike as the weight is right. [quote name='bass_ferret' post='196371' date='May 11 2008, 10:11 AM']There is a pair of Accugroove Tri-112's for sale.[/quote] Had they not been at the other end of the country they could well have been high on my list if no 10's appear, especially as Dave Funk rates these with his amps. [quote name='dood' post='196404' date='May 11 2008, 10:56 AM']I want to cry! - Seeing the Tech's I used to own was bad enough, but trying not to think about the 6x10 version is agony!!! These cabs are amazing! Good luck, I hope you don't have to part with this awesome cab. I do actually miss the sound of mine.[/quote] Sorry to do this to you dood I knew you'd spot this and wonder 'what-if'! You never know it may end up with a bassist near you and you can stack the Epi and this together

    TBH the various models sound different but in many ways share characteristics that as good a starting point as any is to select your price bracket (NT/BO etc) then try out the model that pleases you aesthetically, then go from there. Shallow I know but I've got to like what a bass looks like to get the best from it

    I'm stepping back from the rock gigs that I've done for the past lifetime and for the acoustic style gigs that I have planned my cab is going to be 'TOTAL' overkill! I know that I can turn it down etc and it really does have a small footprint, which I doubt I can reduce with any other cab combination but I feel that a pair of small cabs would suit my needs better. My cab (more pics to follow later when the batteries charge). The spec is available on the Tech Soundsystem website but essentially it is an ND610XT; 2100 watt, 6ohm, 105db, 6 x 10, 30kg (66lb) cab with attenuated/switchable horn (can be switched off remotely with a standard footswitch) that has tilt and roll casters. I'm initially looking for a pair of full-range 8 ohm cabs, preferably 2x10 but I wouldn't dismiss others. The only cabs that would be of any interest to me would have to be lighter than my current cab (individually not combined as I doubt that could be achieved) and of similar high quality construction. I will not compromise on quality... I want cabs of equal standard to this cab. If I could source a pair of appropriate cabs I would sell this outright for £750 BUT I have gigging commitments so I'd not be able to sell unless I had a firm confirmation of replacements. I believe that I'm the only one this forum with one of these cabs, though owners of the few other Tech cabs should be able to vouch for the superb tone and transportability of this manufacturer's cabs. I reserve the right to be a complete ars*hole and change my mind... but not until I've considered all options
