Aye aye, the footprint is identical and from a distance it looked as though you were, made more sense using one head

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1443365096' post='2874128'] So, yesterday being a great day and all, below are the results form the cab shoot-out. I`ll also copy this to a post in Amps/Cabs so that others who might not click onto this one - how very dare they - can see what happened. So, the idea was, following on from last years amp shootout, to use the same bass and amp into a variety of cabs, and see if there was a particular theme/overall winner. As such, using my 2015 US Precision into a fairly neutral sounding Tecamp Puma 900 with all eq set at midday (in the hope it would be a flat setting), the cabs below were investigated. We did a section on 2x12s which seems to be a very poular cab nowadays, 1x15s, 1x12s, and then a very small misc section. For the purposes of the test if the cabs had tweeters I set them to be full on. I`ll list each cab, and the amount of votes it got from the audience as to whether it was their fave. So the 2x12 section, starting with my very own cab: Barefaced Super12T - 1 Schroeder 212 - 8 Bergantino CN212 - 9 EBS Neo 212 - 2 EAD 2x12 - 5 So a winner for the Bergantino, and pretty fed up that I made my own cab come last! Onto the 1x15s Markbass Traveller 115 - 3 Barefaced Compact (Gen2) - 8 Schroeder 115 - 11 Barefaced Compact (Gen 1) - 3 So a winner for Schroeder Onto the 1x12s Barefaced Super Midget (Gen 3) - 3 Schroeder 112 - 3 Fearless 112 (with mid speaker, think a 6?) - 13 Barefaced Big Baby2 (Gen 3) - 7 Prosound PA Cab - 2 A runaway victory for the Fearless then. The misc section was very small, being OBBMs Phil Jones 4x5 - so it won that section hands down (well done Dave). So onto the overall faves then, putting the winners from each section above: Fearless 112 - 4 Schroeder 115 - 5 Bergantino CN212 - 20 So overall the Berg tops it, but it was interesting that over the range of cabs that Schroeder, given the lack of presence of their cabs over here, did so well in all sections. I`m sure a lot of it is to do with the cabs fitting my attack-based playing style, but overall the Schros did very well. Many thanks to Brian (Oldman) for bringing them along. So, what were my impressions of the cabs used? Well my fave for the type of music I currently play was the Schroeder 212, as it really adds a cutting presence, a hi-mid bias I would say. For bands I`ve been in previously it would have been the Berg. But there were four real revelations for me: 1. The Barefaced Super Midget Gen 3 - such an amazing amount of sound from such a little cab. And quality sound too, not just volume. 2. Likewise with the Phil Jones 4x5, real presence and quality sound. 3. The Prosound PA Speaker - apparently £60 from Maplins. Did the job fine, and wasn`t lacking in any way. 4. I managed, yet again, to get my own gear to come last. This is a pattern that seems to be repeating itself. But the main thing was, given the variety of cab brands, sizes, configurations, was that I would have been happy to use any of them at a gig. Sure there were nuances to each cab, but overall this shootout showed me that gear is gear, and sure, we all like to get our own sounds if possible, but workable sounds can be gotten from an array of different speaker cabs. Maybe we all obsess just that bit too much (I`ve certainly established that I do from this). Lastly I`d like to thank Nik and Colin for asking me to do this, it was great fun, and to get to play through such an amazing range of cabs was just amazing. [/quote] Lozz, I thought you used 2 x Tecamp Puma 300's for the shoot out not a single 900!

He's calling me for a Schroeder

Sold Ordep (Chris) the EBS Valvedrive at the South East Bass Bash yesterday, easy transaction cash on the nail which was donated to charity on the day. Thanks Chris

Thoroughly enjoyed myself today guys, thanks to all the organises, sterling work, muchly appreciated. Great to see so much good stuff played with panache....

EBS Valvedrive sold for £50.00 all proceeds to charity...

I put up two small items for the raffle, unopened set of Elites (5ivers) and a new short Speakon cable. As well as these two items I will put up my surplus EBS ( non DI ) Valve Drive pedal. But as an alternative to popping it in the raffle I will sell it for £50.00 on the day and put the proceeds to whatever charity we are supporting...

I will also be bringing an EarCandy Ethan 1x10 B

I bought a Godin 4 String Fretless from Emanuel way back, about 2 and a Half years. It was in Black (obvious for me) and had the Baggs Pre, in perfect condition for its year. Despite the distance between us the transaction went perfect and I received the Bass on Christmas Eve 2012. Lovely bass, great transaction, would certainly deal with Emmanuel again.

Lucas bought my Reidmar, paypalled within the hour of agreeing to buy, sent off today. Great doing business with Lucas a promising newbie
