I found when I tried flats I just didn’t like the smooth string sensation from my plucking / picking hand point
I guess years of RW and that string feedback is hard to brake
Enjoy the bass either way as I’m sure it’s lovely
Yes my first thoughts are Rotosound are brighter and more aggressive sounding but Elixir are smoother under the fingers
Also I’m back to 45-105 sets and in the case of the Elixir 85 and 105 and 80 and 105 for the Rotosound
Just got myself the Ashdown ABM210H 500w cab
The current models are 300w I believe
With my ABM600 head it’s a lovely sounding cab, might add a second cab ?
They are heavier than the Pro Neo sealed cabs but they sound very good
My first ever band pic ( first gig )
Rock originals band
Westone Thunder 1a black bass and Marshall bass rig
Still wear a sweat band but on plucking hand now
circa 1990 ??
I found them ok for some styles but didn’t work for me in rock. I know everyone says Steve Harris uses them but I prefer RW strings and about to try Rotosound 66 stainless on one bass and Elixir stainless on the other
I’m sure there is a market for single cab / head users
Maybe a Basschat Cab Lifter mk1 could be built ?
As mentioned I would be happy to pay for a nicely made / covered version
I’m surprised that you cannot buy a bass cab riser ( think nicer beer crate ) as it would be popular in getting cabs raised so you can hear better
A nice black tolex unit with rubber feet say 12” tall would make all the difference.
Anyone fancy making me one !! For a good price of course !!
I run my ABM600 into a single SVT212AV cab in a loud rock band
Trust me you will only need one cab as they are very loud and easily heard
Best cab I’ve used and as good as my old Ampeg 610 without the weight
Superb Cab and pairs really well with the Ashdown
