Went old school last night (peavey/hartke content)
Beedster replied to Pow_22's topic in Amps and Cabs
....and while we're at it, given the thread title, it took me quite a long time to find a cab that sounded as good to my ear as my 1990's Peavey 15 -
22/05/2007 here And likewise the most expensive decision I've ever made (and in part your fault Nik) I think I've spent less on houses

Do it @Dood, there's something I always liked Larry Hartke's approach to business, despite the fact I never played any of his gear -

When I first joined BassWorld about 20 years back (way before it became Basschat), Hartke were everywhere, but they seem to have fallen by the wayside hugely, one of the few amplification brands I've never used -

Always been my experience, there's nothing wrong with modern lightweight gear at all, but likewise there's nothing wrong with old heavy gear, they just have different qualities π -

Careful, someone will be along in a minute to tell you that on the basis of the technical specifications of newer and lighter cabs you're wrong, an old 18" speaker can NEVER sound good π- 30 replies

Ah, assumed it was new, but even so if different to photos just return it π

That looks like a bad day on the production line coinciding with a bad day at QC Control π€

So, TI Flats on and I rather like it now, I think the action needs to come up a little with the low tension strings, or I might put a tiny bit of relief into the neck (or a bit of both). But it sounds and resonates a whole lot better than it did with rounds for sure, especially in the higher register where the rounds seemed a little lifeless. It still needs a little sorting if it's to be sold as a bass - pickguard screws, nut screw fixed, PUP height etc, and I think I might put on a 3-string retainer which I like on FLs - but it's starting to feel like a bass as opposed to a load of thrown-together parts π

@pete.young I set it up and while it looks absolutely stunning and is really quite pleasing to play, it's not as resonant a unit as I'd like it to be to sell it as an instrument. It's possible that the strings are contributing so I'm going to try a different set when I have some time this evening (I was using some medium-light rounds which were already on the body when it wore a fretted nack, I suspect some heavier flats might bring it to life a little more). Might just be one of those neck/body combinations that doesn't work all that well, but I'll try the flats and report back anyway π

Seems to be a common thing π€
