What's going on with that vibrato? Is the 'on' switch stuck?

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1454071745' post='2966077'] but did you notice a significant increase in the low end? [/quote] Nope - they're pretty much the same.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1454064593' post='2965908'] How do you compare the 2x S112 vs. 1x S212? Does the S212 retain that midrange character but with extra depth? I noticed the cab is a bit deeper than 2x S12 together. [/quote] They're pretty much the same, IMO. Any difference I heard could probably be attributed to the drivers being closer to ear level.

I've yet to run out of steam with either my old S112 stack, or current S212, and I've done plenty o'loud pub gigs with no PA support. That said, I don't play in Sunn O))) - if I did, I'd probably double up.

The TKS S112 stack shines at the gig - they're not full-range solo bass cabs. They've got clear mids and tight, punchy lows where it counts - if that's your thing, of course. M

Hmm.. I didn't get that at all..?

[quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1454000942' post='2965255'] Sorry what's the problem with the ads? A bunch of young people don't want some old guy hanging out at their rehearsals and frankly it'd be weird if some old guy wanted to spend his spare time with a bunch of kids [/quote] I don't think anyone has criticised the ads...?

I've got my next order specc'd out in my mind...

You can unscrew a couple of the poles from the humbucker on a Tele to make it nearly useable...

Bump for this weekend...!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1453810555' post='2962915'] This link takes you straight to the "home" page. [/quote] Whoops.. it's a bit out-of-date now. Here's the correct link, and I've corrected it in Ped's OP: http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=rules&f=19

[quote name='bjelkeman' timestamp='1453707741' post='2961890'] Thanks Wolverinebass! Doug from Darkglass said the Darglass cabs so far are 210 and 410s. I know Tommy has been testing 10s, but he wasn't convinced I think. But the Doug said somewhere (FB, Talkbass, can't remember) that they where quite heavy cabinets. I can't imagine Tommy building a heavy cabinet. So my guess it isn't a TKS Darkglass collaboration. However much I think it would be cool. [/quote] Ah, false alarm... they look pretty, though!

I'll be here until I drop, thanks to my selective use of the 'turn off notifications ' button. I highly recommend it as a sanity preserver :-)

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1453638913' post='2961230'] Only "issue" for me is constantly thinking about a 1 box solution, just to save on trips per night. Whilst both cabs can easily be carried at the same time, there are still usually a lot of (punter blocked) doors to negotiate [/quote] This is the route I took - I started with a pair of S112s, and the thought of 'one box' drove me to the S212 (and an S112 for smaller gigs). It's as good as the S112 stack, but the height of the S112 stack was a nice luxury.

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1453649620' post='2961374'] No. But that is because there is too much life in my life to leave me the enthusiasm to. I like new music when it bumps into me, though. [/quote] This is me, also.

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1453571487' post='2960695'] Were both Sting's band and Paul Simon's band there, or was there one uber-band for the whole lot? [/quote] Both bands. Yep, Sting [i]and[/i] Bakithi, sometimes at the same time. I never saw it myself, but I wish I had...

My Limelight J was fab. I'm not sure what a Bravewood would offer over and above it, apart from a finish that looks like it had been nibbled by gerbils. I've never been a fan of Bravewood relicing, but I'm open to be persuaded otherwise.

Just to give you an idea of how it might pan out, [url="http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/paul-simon-and-sting/2014/united-center-chicago-il-3c2b1d7.html"]here's a setlist from the last time Sting did this, with Paul Simon[/url].

[quote name='paddy109' timestamp='1453490704' post='2960060'] The GHS flats arrived today and a quick noodle has produced pleasant tones. The D and G sound much better. One thing though they kind of feel a little "dry/sticky" well that's the only way I can describe them. I assume with some playing in this will become less noticeable. [/quote] Yep, par for the course. Give them a good rub down with an old t-shirt. That'll sort it.

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1453541074' post='2960358'] Yes! Great demo, although I nearly spat my tea out when he described what the second control knob (after the volume, active/passive switching control knob) did! [/quote] *snort*

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1453496654' post='2960145'] It would be an interesting experiment to glue a couple of housebricks inside a 2u rack case with a bog-standard ICEpower module to see whether bass players coo over the "heft" of the sound! [/quote] I [i]really [/i]wanted go get on with all the micro heads I've used over the years, 'cos carrying a big amp around is a PITA. I approached each of them with open ears... until I eventually realised there was a common characteristic that didn't gel with me. If anything, I stuck with them longer than I would have done otherwise [i]because[/i] they were light. Had they been lead sleds, I would have moved them on a lot quicker.

[quote name='bjelkeman' timestamp='1453489106' post='2960037'] Now that is a very interesting thought. Why didn't I think if that? Tommy has been quiet recently. [/quote] My thoughts, too.
