[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464348343' post='3058671']I don't have to look into my amps, cables, basses, setups, technique.... if I was to hear a tone I don't like coming from a cab... [/quote] What would be the cause then, in your opinion? I'm genuinely interested. There is always a cause for a subjectively unpleasant tone, unless it can be put down to the room itself.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464347802' post='3058662'] Aww I love a bit of fishing. 3 bites in one go. [/quote] You must be very proud.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464343985' post='3058597'] Stupid amounts of power, stage positioning, strings, bass setup, how you play your bass... I don't think I could do with the extra stress of gigging one. [/quote] Cool. Leave it to those of us that can cope with such things then

[quote name='ThirteenDevils' timestamp='1463986915' post='3055455'] Ozric Tentacles [/quote] Oh yes!

More prog metal maybe, but have a listen to these guys - [url="http://deeexpus.co.uk/"]http://deeexpus.co.uk/[/url] - their current and previous bass players are both members on here. I've had a number of attempts over the years at getting prog bands going. Not only do some of the musicians tend to be on the "challenging" side ( ) but even if you get as far as putting a set together very few venues are interested, and if you do get a gig nobody comes to see you! One of the last prog gigs I saw locally to me (Newcastle upon Tyne) was Pendragon*, supported by DeeExpus (see above). Both bands were utterly outstanding, but there was an audience of about 30 people, including both bands are their "entourages"! My advice if you want to play prog? Relocate to the continent. Poland, Holland, Germany, even ex USSR states. They love their prog over there! * BTW, Pendragon hail from the West Country, or at least main songwriter/singer/guitarist Nick Barratt comes from Stroud...

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1463735210' post='3053665'] I'd certainly like to test it out. Matt [/quote] Me too!

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1463557990' post='3052213'] I used to have a set of those in the 112 variety, found them a little bass shy for my liking. The Rumbles kill them for tone imo. [/quote] It was the amp I was referring to...

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1463657499' post='3053124']To answer your question, I think your TE cab will be the limiting factor if paired with the BB2. It's liable to reach it's limits before the BB2 does.[/quote] Agreed.

It's OK. Not one of their classics, but even their worst track is better than a lot of the stuff that passes for "music" these days... Good grief - I've turned into my own father!! Not in the same class as these though.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZymdEOAH5xE[/media] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRs4WMwMiwQ

[quote name='Blink' timestamp='1462883713' post='3046584'] the punters love them all and i'd rather play to a packed dance floor…... [/quote] This ^ Playing "challenging" and "enriching" music to empty rooms is soul-destroying.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1462831028' post='3046168'] The 9k one will have a slightly higher o/p, precisely trying to compensate for the weaker bridge position, so I'd say 9k. It's only a fair balance compared to its partner p/u, though, so there's no guarantee of its o/p compared to your current neck p/u. A resistance (or impedance') measure is not an exact way of establishing o/p, just a rough-and-ready guide. [/quote] By "o/p" do you mean output?

[quote name='luckydog' timestamp='1462886012' post='3046625'] Too few opportunities in this life to go into a music shop and ask "Have you got rubber feet?". Each chance should be taken IMO, and the moment enjoyed LD [/quote] Where's that "like" button?

[quote name='rmorris' timestamp='1462882807' post='3046568'] Quick Google turned up this (see link) £0.28 each (bought in 4s) - I didn't check all three rubber options - and £4.50 shipping.

http://basschat.co.uk/topic/280856-ebs-reidmar/page__p__3005362__hl__ebs__fromsearch__1#entry3005362 I've never used one, but lots of people refer to them being extremely loud for their conservative rating...

I use a second-hand Markbass LM2 and Barefaced Compact (generation 2). Both together come in just on your budget. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/283823-24-hour-holdbarefaced-compact-cloth-grill-l325-pics-up/page__p__3040836__hl__compact__fromsearch__1#entry3040836"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry3040836[/url] http://basschat.co.uk/topic/284358-markbass-sa450-amp-head/page__p__3046323__hl__markbass__fromsearch__1#entry3046323 Very light and VERY loud!

[quote name='hubrad' timestamp='1462883144' post='3046572'] have you tried just contacting Alex at Barefaced to see if he has the exact matching one? [/quote] Yes. They have run out
