[quote name='mikey_reed' timestamp='1379258759' post='2210438'] Hi I've just spotted your add. I am a 27 (nearly 28 year old bassist) with BVs looking for Middle East work. My other half lives in Qatar but is relocating to Dubai so I would be very interested in any long term contracts you have. I do sing BVs and have over 15 years of gigging experience. Doing touring theatre shows, cruise ships Middle East hotels and all the rest. Available November the 6th, please feel free to have a look at my website www.mikeyreed.com or get in touch to my email [email protected] if you need any more info. Thank you [/quote] Responding to the ad would be more useful, I think..?

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1379245574' post='2210178'] Not got a problem with a larger cab that can use a 6" and a horn... I don't use mini heads so something a rack can sit on sounds fine. 30-40lbs is fine as well. [/quote] All the cabs are available in vertical or horizontal configuration.. I went for vertical to make my Walkabout look less tiny. :-) [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1379244663' post='2210152'] Can't seem to find Dims very easily, but the 1126 seems about right for me. [/quote] According to the website, the current 1126 is 52cm W x 42cm H x 44cm D. The new revision seems to be around that - I'll measure it tonight. And, as Mr. Pietruszka mentioned, if anyone is around the Newcastle area and would like to try one out, let me know. As long as you look after it, and I know where you are so I can hunt you down if you try and pinch it, that's fine.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1379250505' post='2210278'] But surely if your using an Ampeg at least half the point is the sound of the valves? Therefore it would make little sense to DI before the amp. [/quote] Not much use if the Ampeg ain't working.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1379244452' post='2210145'] Oh I need to try these! I'm temporarily without a car so I should have gone to the bass bash. [/quote] Are you still in Gateshead?

My 12s growl in the mids like a bugger when I dig in, in a way I never got with the Bergs. The 1126 seemed to have even more on tap, and as they're a bigger box (Aggie DB size) they'll go louder and lower too. TKS also do a larger 12" without the 6", with an optional tweeter. I'd like to hear that.

I don't think it's [i]really[/i] 1600w. [url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/media/914735/tc_electronic_bass_amp_power_rating___active_power_management.pdf"]http://www.tcelectro..._management.pdf[/url]

I think Bassman7755's comment was made in jest, in response to a post waaaaay back in the thread before anyone knew they were TKS cabs. There's nothing 'Barefaced clone' about these, any more than Barefaced, Bergantino, Aguilar etc. are clones of each other.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1379098644' post='2208755'] never mind the rig... that bass! mmmm [/quote] I hope her new owner is giving her the love she deserves.. :-(

[quote name='cd_david' timestamp='1379098261' post='2208747'] Newly restored cab for my "smaller" (ooooh me back) rig [IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/7AE63D0F-769F-4193-813F-1B2DDC2B9D95-155-00000004F9586183_zpsf4112c63.jpg[/IMG] [/quote] Beautiful. And you are Iron Man.

T[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1379091289' post='2208626'] Apparently its production is being moved to China. [/quote] To be fair, I don't think Genz production has been in the US for a while now.

Confirmation trickling down though dealers on TB that Fender have finally shot Genz Benz in the head. The writing was on the wall since they bought them, really... What a shame. They were a great brand.

Assuming you can find your way to Heathrow, [url="http://goo.gl/maps/P7iSZ"]this should help you[/url].

Can't believe I haven't posted mine here yet... MESA Walkabout, 2 x 112 cabs from [url="http://www.tks.se"]TKS Engineering[/url].

Next time we'll have name badges, I think... schoolboy error on my part.

I did a couple of gigs with my '71 fretless P through a Vintage and it was glorious... I imagine this is, too.

[quote name='Dropzone' timestamp='1378990684' post='2207420'] Sadly this was me at a gig recently.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOb3vqkLnxA[/media] [/quote] Epic. Is this where you get your BC handle from?

[quote name='TheButler' timestamp='1378846948' post='2205616'] I can take the little Harley Benton BH500 (Promethean Clone) out of the combo. [/quote] You could... I've plunked on this for the last hour or so and it sounds very nice indeed...

Ha! You can't win 'em all. It's nice to hear them covered by someone other than awful shiny nu-proggers or sludgy Norwegian black mettallers for a change...

You're look[quote name='TheButler' timestamp='1378846948' post='2205616'] Thanks to all of those involved in bringing these sounds to us. How much is shipping stinging us? [/quote] From about £20 for a single 12, through to about £45 for a pair of large cabs - Tommy can confirm. Not too bad at all...

The older I get, the more I like big, chunky man's strings with pig's arses and rusty nails in them. I turn my amp up, and play them with a lighter touch. Lovely. Nowt to do with the OP, really. Sorry about that.

IMO :-D

I know exactly what you mean. There's too much opinion posted as fact.
