I hope everyone attending the bash will have a listen to these cabs as critically as possible. The next step is to voice them (as they say) and we'd like your input on this. I'll have a Markbass LMIII connected, and will be inviting you to adjust the tone controls to get as close to the sound you'd like from the finished cab. I'm going to try to bring some measuring gear if I can. I'd also like to point out that I'm selling an Eden 15+horn speaker cab, a 1,000W power amp, some 12" speaker chassis, an electronic crossover and some outboard equalisers on the For Sales boards and would be happy to deliver any of these to the bash tomorrow.

[url="http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7113983.htm"]http://www.argos.co....ber/7113983.htm[/url] I've had this small bench saw for a few years and it's only had about 20 minutes of use in total. I need some more space in my workshop and hope someone can make use of it. Either collect from Dorchester or I'll bring it along to the SOUTHWEST BASS BASH this Sunday, 20th. Message me first (obviously).

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1444888879' post='2886942'] Ah, the fabulous Davey Paton. One of my fave players. Recorded in his brief Wal using phase IIRC. GREAT LINE, AMAZING TONE! [/quote] Is that a Wal? I thought it was a Stingray. Perhaps I should post the link on the 'I hate Wals' thread.

I would hope it's the stock driver. Lots of manufacturers make minor changes to a stock driver so that they can claim to have a custom design. The problem is, when you need to replace a driver - or several - said manufacturers can *and do* hold you to ransom. It would be a point in TKS' favour IMO if they are using stock drivers (which I think they are doing).

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1444982758' post='2887776'] Eminence, I believe. Not sure of the specifics. [/quote] The specs listed on the TKS website match those for the Beta 12A, but I can't say for sure without seeing inside the box. For anyone who has looked or would like to check, there are a couple of detailed photos of the Eminence driver in my For Sale thread (be warned!) here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/271289-12-bass-guitar-drivers-eminence-and-das//."]http://basschat.co.u...ence-and-das//.[/url] The Beta is a fairly lightweight driver - so it would make sense.

Yes, that's a real shame.

No, sorry, guys. These all pale into insignificance compared with this. I just wish I knew how to recreate it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=porkY6I0LLc&feature=youtu.be [Edit - still can't get the blighter to embed......]

I don't think Carvin has a reputation for poor reliability, do they? There's nothing on the web that indicates that is the case, and I know there are quite a few Basschatters happily using Carvin bass amps. I can only tell you that this amp has performed impeccably for me and is very well built. It has a very pro feel to it. There's a video on YouTube showing the interior if you'd like to check it out. I'd expect it to work for years without any issues. The last power amp I had was a QSC 850, which wasmore expensive and didn't offer as much as the Carvin. Not only that, but it blew up on me. I was fortunate enough to sell it here on Basschat to an amp tech, who later told me the power transformer had failed. Yet QSC has a reputation for reliability. I don't think the Red Eye combo was their finest hour, but that was quite a long time ago. -
[u]Eminence Delta 12LF[/u] - [s]£40[/s] [s]£35[/s] £30 500W driver used in a lot of commercial bass cabs and also recommended for sealed cabs. 5.35kg. [url="http://www.eminence.com/pdf/Delta_12LFC.pdf"]http://www.eminence....Delta_12LFC.pdf[/url] This Eminence drivers have only seen a couple of hours use and is pristine (i.e. could almost pass for new). It's 8 ohms. Should you wish, I can measure the T/S parameters before you buy it. This is half the new price and I can deliver for £6.50 if you're prepared to wait a few days.

[u]Behringer PEQ305 Parametric Equaliser/Bass Preamp[/u] -[s] £45[/s] NOW £40 Works great as a bass preamp, as it has balanced and unbalanced ins and outs!!! This is the kind of gear that Behringer used to build before they moved production to China. Excellent (made in Germany) build quality with standard through-hole PCBs. Repairable by your local tech if needed. I used this as a bass preamp after realising what a mistake I'd made selling my TC 1140. This is of comparable quality but is more versatile (shelf/peak filters). If you can't find your tone with this, you never will. Also great for studio and recording use. 1U high, fits a standard narrow case. Guessing at 2kg. Good used condition, as they say. Everything works fine. [u]Alto Maxidrive 3.4 Digital Speaker Management/Active Crossover - [s]£60[/s] NOW £50[/u] These digital crossovers/sound management systems cost about £500 when they were new. [url="http://www.theaudioworksuk.com/index.php/alto-maxidrive-3-4-digital-crossover-sound-management-system.html."]http://www.theaudiow...nt-system.html.[/url] This is a highly respected pro device with plenty of positive reviews on the web stating they outperform many of the alternatives. 3 crossover points with choice of slopes plus 5-band parametric eq, delay for individual inputs and outputs, noise gate, phase adjustment, adjustable limiters. The works! The manual is available online. £60 please. Will post either of these items at cost. Please check out my Carvin 1000W power amp in the Amps section.

This is my Carvin 1000W power amp. I've used it for bass and until recently for the band PA. A change of bands means it's no longer needed. £100, please. It produces 350W per channel into 4ohms, 500W per channel into *2 ohms*, or 1000W bridged into 4 ohms. Inputs are balanced stereo jack or XLR. Speaker outs are Speakon, binding posts (bare wires if you like) and even jacks. Switchable limiters. Dimensions 2U high x 19" wide x 10" deep. 26lbs / 11.8kg. Very high build quality and this one hasn't been used very much. More information here: <http://www.manualslib.com/manual/395313/Carvin-Dcm1000.html>. The SKB case isn't included. More PA gear (equalisers, crossover, etc - and the bass preamp I used with this) over in the Musically Related Items section.

Eden Nemesis NSP115 lightweight cab - NOW ONLY £110

I'm hoping to attend. I have a newish all-digital Markbass LMIII I could bring along for a comparison with an older or LMII model - to see if there really is a difference. I've just put a couple of music-related books in the Recycling section for anyone attending the bash. Just message me and I'll reserve them and bring them along for you.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1444740399' post='2885472'] my kick drum's fairly dead but I learned to whack it harder. For most music modern the bass drum should be the loudest instrument in the kit, and IMO that should be achieved acoustically before you start micing anything up [/quote] I suppose there are drummers and drummers. I don't think there's a lot you can do about that. However, in my current band the kick drum gets lost as soon as the rest of the band start playing. Which is why we put it through the PA cabs (good 1x 12s). Nothing else goes through the PA apart from the vocals. It doesn't seem to be a problem but I'd be interested to know if there's a better way.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1444736169' post='2885412'] I see a lot of drummers who rely on the PA/monitors to get volume out of their kick drum. IMHO this is bad technique [/quote] My band's guilty of this. In my previous band the drummer had an amp and cab he put the kick drum through. What are the options, without buying a big PA rig and getting a sound guy in?

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1443617713' post='2876268'] And it was the Jake. Hmmmm.... Food for thought indeed! [/quote] Indeed so! And it makes a mockery of the saying 'You get what you pay for!" Now that I know which is which, I also still prefer the cheaper one. Congratulations to those who got it right.

No indeed. What we want are more threads from people who have ordered a new piece of equipment. They haven't got it yet, in fact they haven't even heard it before, but they are so excited they have to tell us that they've placed the order. Then, if all goes to plan, they can tell us that the delivery man has knocked on the door. And then do an unpackaging video to entertain and delight us all. All of this accompanied by a bunch of cloth-eared invididuals telling the OP what a wonderful item of equipment it is because they themselves have bought it. In fact, if everyone who bought a new piece of equipment started a thread like that, what a wonderful place Basschat would be!

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1443372028' post='2874193'] I have just uploaded three short videos from the cab shootout. Normal test in the first video, cheap cab tested in the second video, mini cab tested in the third. [/quote] The sound quality is perfectly respectable. I'd be very interested in hearing the whole vid if that's at all possible.
