Shall play Identify the Musos? WoT will probably be along and he tends to be quite good it it? In the meantime the drummist looks familiar?

I hit the Yes Essentials button on iTunes. First doing was Going for the One. Didn’t land for me. I’m happy to take suggestions?

Autobahn’s starting to grate a bit now as well

Thing is that I really want to like them...?

No

Agree 100%

Yes yes yes

So does my dog

I think my dog’s a better bass player than me

Yes

I’m listening to Kraftwerk to restore homeostasis, The Fahn Fahn Fahn of the Autobahn seems to make more sense?

But when Geddy sings, it sounds like he means it?

Look guys, I’m trying

Felt a bit like Rush but without the active ingredient, kinda like alcohol free beer?

I’m guessing they’re an acquired taste?

Funnily enough, I'd never seen this.....

I wonder if early US buyers have their units? What’s the news on TB?

Yep

Yep, I don’t buy that at all either Steve, delays in supply chain can’t be communicated as an excuse months after you’ve been told your unit is actually under construction. Someone’s telling porkies

I actually quite like a well played banjo, but wow there's a lot out there that aren't

True of banjos perhaps though?

Exactly, but that point's been made already, you were indicating surprise that two cabs made for different purposes by different manufacturers using different technology and materials sound different when played in the same context. I was simply pointing out that there was no need to be surprised. But as others have said, different isn't a statement of quality or of appropriateness. This thread, like so many others, comes down to one thing and one thing only; gear that sounds great in one context often doesn't in another, and the key defining factor is more often the characteristics of the context - bass, strings, desired tone, style of play, type of music, volume, room, crowd, and don't forget psychoacoustic - as opposed to any mechanical and/or technical characteristics of the gear itself. It's one very good reason why trying audio gear in a shop can be a bloody nightmare, it's not unusual to hear people say "I didn't like the Mesa Boogie I tried in store, it seemed a little underpowered" or "I couldn't believe how great that Carlsbro' sounded against the most expensive", and often they're right to a degree because that's what their ears were telling them in that context. Put both rigs on stage with a loud drummer and a rowdy crowd and suddenly the rig that sounded underpowered or crap in a shop was the one that was needed. This is why I will never own another PJB rig, sounds lovely in the living room, disappears on stage

Finding that bass in Slough is like running into the Minogue sisters at the Dog & Duck
