[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1469604742' post='3099598'] ...they are seriously good little amps. Great core tone and capable of huge amounts of loudness [/quote][quote name='Merton' timestamp='1469653298' post='3100145'] One of the best class D heads (IMHO!) - nice one [/quote][quote name='Graham' timestamp='1469654721' post='3100161'] Nice... you'll love this I'm sure. [/quote][quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1469649438' post='3100088'] Yep, great amp there. I'm sure you'll love it. Congratulations. [/quote] What they said.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1469625953' post='3099825'] Yes, but were they some nice soft white ones? [/quote] I though long and hard about possible replies to this, but most are unsuitable...

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1469622961' post='3099787'] I see personalised plates as a harmless indulgence, except for the ones with spacing messed around with and black screws in inappropriate places when it means it would be difficult to make out what the number actually was. [/quote] Yes! That is [i]really [/i]tragic and deluded. You couldn't afford the plate you wanted? Don't worry, just make the one you have look more like the one you want thus making the plate unreadable and illegal in the process. Good work, sports fan! Still, at least this kind of thing (along with union jack car flags, custom body kits, 'w@nkers shoes' and bog-brush hairstyles) is a pretty good indication of who to steer clear of - almost as good as a 'please avoid me, I'm a bell-end' t-shirt. A 'w@nkers shoe', yesterday.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1469570159' post='3099525'] I'd want to hear me play the bass anyway. I think, opening a huuuuge can of worms here... that basses sound different depending on the player. [/quote] Well they do. I've posted a fair few audio clips of various basses ranging from 'affordable' to 'quite expensive' across many different brands, direct and through various amps and using various strings, playing pick and fingerstyle. And they all have a certain similarity about them... i.e. they are all me playing the bass. And thus are of questionable use when trying to put across what a particular bass would sound like in someone else's hands.

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1469569617' post='3099518'] ...and in widespread use in the broadcasting industry IIRC. [/quote] Quite, or at least it was when I was involved in the 90s. Don't know about today.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1469564534' post='3099461'] It could have sounded a lot better than it did. [/quote] I remember the consumer battle between VHS and Betamax. VHS won out, but Betamax was the superior format.

Spector GAS has hit me.

[quote name='pineweasel' timestamp='1469536490' post='3099079'] My Shergold Marathon has a stereo output which works the same way. Of course I never use it as it has a sensible mono output too. [/quote] I had one of those. I can't imagine how you'd use it in any practical sense, and I don't know of anyone who did, amateur or pro.

Back in the day the main purpose of audio cassettes for me was to record personalised mix tapes for girls in the hope of boffing them. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Girls weren't so high-maintenance back then. Today I look upon Audio cassettes as dead-format shag-bait. It actually seems quite cute and romantic now, compared with today's methods - i.e. texting her a picture of your cock.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1469458331' post='3098444'] So its all Discreet's fault then. [/quote] Yeah well, I [i]am [/i]a valued customer... In fact, the two drivers for my Two10 were taken from a Four10, so you never know...

[quote name='deanovw' timestamp='1469534422' post='3099044'] Are they really heavy? [/quote] I wouldn't, but I don't have road crew and I've been spoilt by super-lightweight cabs over the last year or two. [quote name='deanovw' timestamp='1469534191' post='3099041'] Actually I did use the 4ohm 2x10" on its own for a while and that was almost there. It was a great setup. I thought two 2x10"s would be better and got another and changed the impedance to 12ohms for both cabs. They don't seem to be working quite as hard now though. Something was lost doing that I'm sure. [/quote] Doesn't surprise me. You need to work the Two10 - it does like a fair amount of power, but sounds great with it.

You could always buy a Barefaced Eight10. Though I think the Big Twin 2 might be suitable for your needs. I'm getting something of a 'sealed' sound from my 4ohm Two10 with a 500W amp. I like it.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1469528939' post='3098987'] What scares me is his feedback as a seller is rather good [/quote] I think it's mostly from his mum.

I've seen audio cassettes come and go. And 8-track cartridges (remember them?) and Betamax and VHS and Laser Discs and MiniDiscs, and DAT tape, and CDs and DVDs.... the only medium I wasn't around to see the introduction of was vinyl. I'm not THAT old.

I felt bushes in Holland, but it was quite a while ago now.

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1469481187' post='3098750'] I could never see myself standing up in the front room with a Fender Precision strapped on. I would feel such a pillock! [/quote] Why? If youre alone and there's no-one to see you..?

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1469481916' post='3098757'] Guess who owns this now? [/quote] I think you're enjoying the fact this is no longer mine more than you're enjoying the bass! Luckily I'm very happy with my Road Worn P...

[quote name='jimcroisdale' timestamp='1469480076' post='3098732'] It's looking like a 2x10 I think... [/quote] Well I'll just leave this here... [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/retro-two10.htm"]http://barefacedbass...retro-two10.htm[/url] But even this may still be too deep. And it may not suit you sound-wise. I have one myself, I like it a lot.

Weeellll.... The Barefaced Big Twin 2 is 14.6" deep compared to the 16.5" of the Neox... but it's 33.5" tall compared to 31"... http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Big-Twin-2.htm

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1469476925' post='3098679'] I forgot to mention that I can see the music stand more easily if I sit down. [/quote]

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1469468365' post='3098579'] That would be damping factor, and it's not true: [url="http://www.diyspeakers.net/Articles/Richard%20Pierce%20DAMPING%20FACTOR.pdf"]http://www.diyspeake...NG%20FACTOR.pdf[/url] Damping factor is one of the oft-quoted reasons for the need for exotic/expensive wires. So is skin effect. On the face of it the crap spewed by cable crooks seems to be legitimate, if you have only a cursory understanding of the physics involved. Since few average people posses even cursory knowledge they get away with what's literally criminal. Interesting reading: [url="http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm"]http://www.roger-rus...m/wire/wire.htm[/url] [url="http://www.avsforum.com/forum/91-audio-theory-setup-chat/2166017-monster-xp-versus-aluminum-foil-speaker-cable-test.html"]http://www.avsforum....cable-test.html[/url] [/quote] Interesting stuff, but the difference in cost between a 1.5mm and a 4mm Speakon cable really isn't huge, should one feel the need. It's certainly not akin to spending $40,000 on hi-fi audio cables, where I believe most of the 'cable crooks' operate. http://most-expensive.com/audio-cables
