bit of a bump* If you think I'm asking too much, make me an offer.......

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='299732' date='Oct 5 2008, 06:57 AM']The DB112's certainly have rear ports. I take it you've considered and dismissed the Tech Soundsystems 1x12's on this forum... certainly can't get any more portable than those![/quote] ...no, not dismissed.... never tried!... & Scotland's a long way to go!... if I could try some closer to home I'd be up for it.... I'm finding the mighty [i][b]tinternet[/b][/i] is great for research & cheap deals ..as long as you know what you want... I only seem to know what I [i]don't[/i] want at the moment! & I can't afford to buy blind.. Them bergs are very good.. & I spent the afternoon with Mark at Bass Direct trying all of the AE's against what I had before... & the 112's suited me best...(wish I'd tried the non-neo ones too, but I was on a 'lightweight' pilgrimage at the time & was blinkered!) I'm not great with the 'science' of it all but I've become convinced that the rear ports are causing me the trouble,[i] even if it is non-directional![/i]... somehow, with front porting, I can be louder & therefore hear myself better & a certain drummer I work with lots, isn't complaining that my bottom end is killing his kick drum!.... !?!...

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='299368' date='Oct 4 2008, 01:08 PM']Was it the Aggie GS or DB cabs that you tried?[/quote] it was the GS, a 2x10 + 2x12....too heavy & bulky for my needs really though!.....but a nice sound & I could be loud enough for me too hear it well, without my drummer complaining! (there's gotta be something in this rear or front facing ports thing....) ....is it true the DB's have rear ports? I am hoping that the smaller GS speakers... like the 1x12's, impress me the same way..... it's got to be quite portable for me... up to say similar in bulkiness of 2 x SWR goliath Jr 2x10's weighing in at 55lbs each( ..which I'd like to try if I can find somewhere with 2 in stock!) .... but preferably lighter.... I've got 14 stairs up to my front door!...& it's a narrow passageway.... (ooh er misses!)

[quote name='Josh' post='297635' date='Oct 2 2008, 03:24 PM']I'd recommend EBS Neo's very highly Dave, if anything they sound pretty much the same as the Proline stuff, so if you ever wanted to you could pop down and try mine out .[/quote] Thanks for the offer Josh.... I'll bare it in mind.... Probably gunna do a lot of driving in the near future, Bass Merchant, Mansons etc.. Just waiting till the maximum amount of stock is in....

[quote name='molan' post='297089' date='Oct 1 2008, 09:18 PM']Have you compared the AE with the HT at all? I haven't heard them back to back but seem to remember the HT was more of a smoother all round sound to the AE?[/quote] ...no, haven't tried the HT at all.... Kinda hoping I can stay lightweight .... but wondering if any neo stuff has what I'm after?... the Aguilar cabs I borrowed were pretty close & so were the SWR... but not very lightweight ... hopefully trying zoot, EBS & GK soon.....

[quote name='Josh' post='296955' date='Oct 1 2008, 05:44 PM']I thought your back was loving them Dave?[/quote] .... yeah my back is [b]really[/b] loving them! but my ears are still wanting to hear something that I'm not getting..... not really sure what it is... (a little less hi-fi, perhaps?) but I was almost there when I borrowed some Aguilar cabs the other night!.... ... & my drummer doesn't want the rear porting!

[b]Covers thrown in free[/b] (the covers were £50 each!) ...will consider splitting the cabs.... [b]£330 each[/b] [b]Now this[i] is[/i] a good deal! [/b]

Well, I've been reluctant to do this..... but I'm going to let them go...Two of them.... They are fantastic cabs, but after gigging them over the summer, I think my 'sound' lies elsewhere.... They're just not the ones for me.... Almost brand new, pristine condition, complete with covers.... *NEW PRICE! >>>>>[b]£650 the pair[/b]<<<<< Would prefer hassle free selling!... [i](pick up, or meet halfway kinda thing, if not too far....I'm based in Bristol) [/i] Actual pics to follow.... just want to test the water for now..... ....any interest? Here's those pics....

[quote name='whynot' post='273636' date='Aug 31 2008, 12:17 PM']Thanks Bottomfeed. I'm getting some very positive comments from our sound tech and fellow musos on my sound at the moment so starting to think I should be keeping this. I'm confused.[/quote] Well....Funny game this finding the right gear business!....... Some questions: What has brought you to thinking you want to get rid of?...... What were you using before?... What is the difference to you?.... What cabs are you using with it?

I've got one!.... it's a great amp! *BUMP*
