Chris Horton

Hi Joe, Thanks so much for taking the time to visit and buy the paisley bass from me. It was a pleasure to meet you today and I hope you have a great day seeing the sights of Plymouth. Thanks for a totally easy transaction I hope you have a safe journey home, take care. Best regards Chris

Cool photography !

I only use the 112 cab at home when practicing really and then I take the 210 for small gigs etc. I think my wife would kill me if I bought another amp

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1371414218' post='2113680'] Yes, if anything sounds like it`s struggling, best to not use it. My 410/210 set-ups worked fine, but I let the ears decide, any chance of bother, don`t do it. [/quote] I know where you are coming from. I use the word "struggling" as i dont really know how best to describe it. I am not running any of my cabs at mega high levels at any time and they never destort........... its just that i can hear the differance between my two cabs. I probabbly use the term "struggle" in the wrong context maybe. Maybe 2x 410 cab's would balance things up more ?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1371384013' post='2113139'] Mixing cabs is a bad plan. The reason it is a bad plan is that the sound of the combination is totally unpredictable, so as soon as you plan on mixing the cab with unspecific different cabs, you can't get any useful suggestions, because nobody can know how they will pair up, the sound isn't a combination of the souds of the two, its another sound again. Do you like the sound of the 10s you have but need louder? Get more the same. If you don't like the sound of them, get rid and get somehting you do like the sound of, then add more the same until loud enough. [/quote] Thanks for your explanation it really helped me to understand cabs a little more. I currently own the following cabs - - Epifani UL 210 cab - Epifani UL 410 cab - Epifani UL 112 cab , all are 8 ohm, series 1. My faviorate "all round" cab is the 410. The 210 is a great cab for the size & weight but not quite as full sounding as the 410. I do run the 410 & 210 together for bigger gigs but when I do , it feels like the 210 cab is struggling compared to the 410 if that makes sence. I do prefer the tones of the 410 so maybe i should look for another 410 cab ?

Try no to think about it too much. I play basses with different scale lengths and I don't really notice swapping between them anymore. Just keep picking up the basses and playing them one after each other and swapping when you are practicing at home

hi everyone, I have placed a "wanted" advert for an Epifani , series 1, 8 ohm cab to go with my 210 or 410 cab. I appreciate that the Epi series 1 cabs don't come up for sale that often so it got me thinking ........ What other lightweight 115 or 215 cabs should I check out ? I use an Epifani UL502 amp and my main bass is an MTD 535. Throw me your thoughts please Cheers Chris

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1371287815' post='2112087'] An SR5 was my first 5 string bass. It convinced me that 5 was the way to go, but I didn't like the one piece maple neck/fretboard. That was before the HH and HS models came out. Chris Horton had one with a Piezo bridge which I thought sounded great. I would think that a rosewood/HH/Piezo would be the best of all MM worlds. [/quote] Hi Chris, My old SR5 piezo that I played at your house was a great bass, but I think if I were to get a SR5 again I would go for maple board to give me a little more "bite" with HS pickups. P.s ..... I still have your old Epifani 410 cab , it's brilliant !

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1371159162' post='2110789'] Ah! Thanks for telling. Yeah, I think so too. Very cool. And that comes from one who likes his stuff mostly toned down. b, b [/quote] I remember the comPany name now ........ It's - WD Music.com

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1371072719' post='2109597'] Yeah, I thought so too. 18 years old, and though not cheap, at least it was near mint. No fret wear at all! I liked that buttercream a mucho grando lot - with that weird pg. Did that 2005 Lim.Ed. always come with a pg like that? b, b [/quote] I bought the pickguard from an American company , I think it looks cool

I have had bad gas for about 2 years for a SR5 with the HS pickups. I thought my gas had subdued untill reading this thread !

[quote name='sticker' timestamp='1370974121' post='2108187'] Stingray 5's you say ... Here's mine which I bought here last year from ChrisHorton . The photos are from his for sale thread. [/quote] I dont suppose that you fancy a trade for a Pink Paisley precision do you ??

[quote name='sticker' timestamp='1370974121' post='2108187'] Stingray 5's you say ... Here's mine which I bought here last year from ChrisHorton . The photos are from his for sale thread. [/quote] That is a fantastic bass , It is one I wish that i should have never sold !!!!! If you ever decide to sell it ...................................
