    I bought a Backbeat v1 on eBay last week specifically for my gig last night - IEMs, no monitoring or amps, a stupid 75dB volume limit. I can see it being an expensive toy I use once or twice a year tbh… It was great fun but reading through this about the feedback, that was definitely something I need to learn to tame. And the wire management was a bit nuts… Bass into Backbeat, into wireless Wireless IEM receiver into Backbeat then earphones out. Do most people just use it with their bass and keep the IEM mix as a separate thing?

    An overly complicated IEM set up for tonight’s incredibly quiet wedding gig. Bought the Backbeat for this, need a better solution for the leads I think 🤔

    I’m out, surprisingly a lot later than I thought I’d be at the beginning of the year. I bought myself a Backbeat purely because my gig tonight has a stupid 75dB limit (honestly what are these guys smoking…?) so we are strictly on IEMs without anything onstage. So a sort-of necessary purchase but still it stops me from making the cut this year sadly. Maybe next!

    Bought to go with my HX Effects last year but no longer needed thanks to fitting that to a board so I can run my wireless more easily. VGC Price includes UK mainland postage

    Everything at noon pretty much! Sounds so good. Sometimes nudge the mids depending on the situation.

    Gorgeous!

    Did a weird sort of 2-in-1 gig yesterday in Cambridge at a corporate “family fun day” event. First hour was the “rock band for kids”, with about 3 kids in attendance and the rest of the audience slightly amused adults. Second set was the same musicians but cranking it up a notch for the “grown up party band”. Was hot, humid and sticky and our drummer nearly fainted near the end of the second set but we made it through. Left home 9.30am, had a shite journey up (took 4 hours, haven’t driven a manual vehicle for that length of time in over a decade!), but given it was a day event I was home almost exactly 12 hours later so can’t complain Basses were my ACG Finns (a 4 and a 5), amp was the Trace TE-1200 and cab was a single BF Two10S, and all sounded fecking marvellous even with me at the controls. Today I am recovering from the crappy drive by fixing a shower and dishwasher, coz I know how to live 🤓

    Absolutely, in terms of one manufacturer saying “cab A with amp B”. And that is almost always tosh, especially the way a lot of mainstream cabs are “designed” 😄 We’re just celebrating other combinations we have decided we personally think work

    Bit more South than South West but Feline in Croydon

    Great bass, great bloke (even if he slaps on flats… 😃)

    I’ve owned both (because, being the fool that I am, I’ve had this model 3 times 🤣🤣) - I wouldn’t have a clue which was which based on sound or construction, except the little tiny writing on the back.

    She’s a nutter 😄

    Slowly! Guitarist #1 has hurt his hand so we’ve been out of action since early May. Hoping to get back to it in July and get some gigs booked for the second half of the year coz the cupboard is bare with that at the moment! Keeping occupied with Katy Hurt gigs and some other bits and bobs though

    Great amp, great price, great guy to buy from! When I owned it Ashdown gave it a full service and revalve so it should be sweet for many a year to come
  15. Merton
    Yep my Trace TE-1200 and TE Elf with Barefaced Two10s are both something to behold The Two10 cabs just seem to love whether you give them tbh! Ashdown pairs well with BF too.
  16. Merton
    Glockenklang do very flat and clean as their starting point but have options to dial in other tones, which you can ignore. Eich (TecAmp) are supposed to be quite clean sounding? The new Trace TE-1200 is a massive sounding clean amp albeit unlikely to appear second hand yet… Aguilar AG700? Trickfish - rare 2!d hand but clean. Vanderkley - even rarer but still clean. will add more if I think of them

    Standard band leader 😅

    These have a high-passed speaker so actually work out a little like a line array. They do work great vertically but they also work great like this
  19. Merton
    Nope, 3x12 ohm cabs = 4 ohms. Do it. You know you want to. 😀
  20. Merton
    Yep, noticeable difference. There’s a YouTube video from BF showing it too (if you use decent headphones!)
  21. Merton
    Frankly there’s a lot more to it but my head is fried and I can’t explain it properly 😅
  22. Merton
    Actually I take that back. The Two10 is designed to have a different tone when vertical vs when horizontal. More phatness if horizontal, tighter and more focussed bottom end of vertical. Plus of course drivers closer to your ears.
  23. Merton
    Not for the BF Two10S due to the way they hi-pass one of the drivers in the pair, so the usual comb filtering issues are removed.
  24. Merton
    Buy a second cab, because of all the reasons above, plus it looks cooler (which frankly, is the most important aspect to consider). And then once you have that, start wondering if you should add a third. I may (or may not) speak from experience.

    You’re not heading daaaan saaaaf anytime soon dude? Know someone who would like this!
