[quote name='LowEndEngineer' post='261081' date='Aug 12 2008, 06:56 PM']I am strongly thinking of getting a 4ohm DB212[/quote] Why lug around a 212 when two 112's will sound just as good!

I've got three DB112's (in green!) and they sound great. Never compared with the GS range though. I just liked the retro look. Because they don't use Neo drivers they are heavier than other makes, but I think that is why they sound so good. Never got on with Neo stuff.

[quote name='chrkelly' post='249789' date='Jul 28 2008, 05:07 PM']Cheers for the suggestions guys, a trip to Mark's and The Gallery is in order this week me thinks. Love the look of the tweed and the chocolate aggies, and they're much cheaper than the others.[/quote] I've got three of the green DB112 cabs. Am I the only one to get green ones?!! Great little cabs, and fuller sounding than neo cabs in my opinion.

Does anyone out there know the actual body corner radius on a Jazz or P-Bass? Cheers Ian

Its a shame they don't do a 3 x 12, or have the six splittable into 'two' cabs, as I have an Epi UL902C head (stereo). Bugger.

[quote name='dood' post='232136' date='Jul 3 2008, 04:37 PM']I thought the 7000 series was pretty damn good lol.The 7400 was a very powerful head with a very useable EQ. I also owned an 'Integrated Bass System' Marshall too and that had a good tone for a 200W head.[/quote] Yep that's the one I had! I must have had a serious mis-match - it didn't sound particularly loud or good! I remember the ads pushing the fact that it peaks at 4000w. Yeah right! But its all down to what you like I guess. Lemmy obviously loves Marshall, and I wouldn't slate it to his face!

Hope its better than that appalling Dynamic Bass stuff.

[quote name='Subthumper' post='224529' date='Jun 22 2008, 10:21 PM']Hi a friend of mine sent me this a while ago.http://www.musikding.de/product_info.php?cPath=103&products_id=1033[/quote] Seems a lot of money for a handfull of components! At least it looks like few components from the photo.

I used to rackmount mine in a 2U rack case, but I drilled some holes in the top where the fan is. It was a flat panel ABS case, not the SKB style.

That's gotta be the heaviest cab I've seen! I thought 100 pounds was heavy!

Nice neat installation there Steve. Can't wait for your comments after a gig. Nice bass too!

I used to gig with a 411pro (4x10) and a 115pro. Apart from the weight, I'd say they are as good as the RBH GK cabs I used to own. Great value for money. You can't go wrong. Your back might complain a bit!!

Speak to Martin Burrows at Ashdown. He's sent me fuses free of charge. They have really good customer service.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='217564' date='Jun 12 2008, 01:07 PM']Hi all Like the title says, I'm thinking out loud... I've had a Schroeder 21012L for a couple of years, and done many, many gigs with it many different situations. It's been fab every time. Now, for the first time, I'm considering a change for two reasons. 1 ) GAS 2 ) My new head With regards to 1 ) - yeah... I'm an idiot but I'm human and a like a change every now and then. As for 2 ) - I recently bought a MESA MPulse 600 head which is fab'n'groovy and nice and round and tubey, just how I like it. However, it has big booty... as does the Schroeder. Put them both together, along with flatwound-strung Precisions, and it's MASSIVE, and possibly a little overpowering. It's not so much a problem with my fretted which is ace, but my Fretless P isn't as defined and growly as I'd like. It's there if I DI from the head to the FOH, but it's kinda lost via the cab. I've been thinking of getting the board of my fretless epoxied to tighten it up, but.. I dunno. I also switched to rounds and half-rounds, but that gives me more of a 'boiiing' than a growl. Don't like 'em. Anyway, to cut a long, rambling, story short... I quite fancy experimenting with a new cab. Probably a 2x12. The general criteria is... - Not too big (preferably with a depth of less than 44cm as that means it'll fit in the cupboard under the stairs during quieter times) - Not too heavy (my Schro is 26kgs, so 30kg tops, say...) - 600w @ 4ohm minimum - Able to to the job as a standalone cab at a noisy pub gig, with a big'n'focused bottom end Candidates (not all 2x12s!) include... Schroeder 410 Schroeder 1210 Schroeder 1212 Dr. Bass 2460 Genz NeoX 212 Aggie 212 Epi UL212 TecAmp 212 EBS 212 NEO Zoot 212 ...and probably a million others. I REALLY like the look fo the Genz and the DR. Bass, but are these good standalone cabs? I love Schroeder, and I'd be keen to see if the 410L has a slightly tighter bottom-end, too. Not much chance to try one, though. I'd be interested to hear your opinions, even if it's 'Stick with the Schroeder you fool. It's just a GAS attack!'. Thanks for not falling asleep yet.[/quote] Hi mate, As you may know I have 3 x Aguilar DB112s. Brilliant. Not sure if their 2 x 12 will sound any different than two 1 x 12s. A very good speaker if portability is your thing. Looks like I'm getting a fourth to go with my Epi 902c. A monster compact rig. Had an Epi 2 x 12 for a while. I'm just not that keen on Neo speakers. To me, they all seem to lack a bit of low end grunt. Not had any problems with the Agi's Ian

I heard this gear for the first time at the London Guitar Show last year, and I thought it sounded pretty average. It looks like hi-fi gear and I was expecting a lot, but it just didn't deliver. Very poor bottom IMO.
