wateroftyne Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Shamelessly nicked from Talkbass, here's the new tilt-back cab... which can also be ordered as a combo: I like the idea of the combo for bigger gigs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_Bass Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 How does the head holds on to the cab? I would like to have something that holds my shuttle head to the tilted cab without having to get the GB combo sleeve. The best thing i've seen was Fender's Jazzmaster's feet on my guitards cab. It has magnets on the head's feet and on the cab's recessed feet hold. Any idea where to get hold of something like this? Sorry for the threadjack!

wateroftyne Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 If it's anything like the 'normal' combo, it'll be kept on by four long thumb screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I really do want to have a proper listen to a prometheon, I still have a bit of a mental block about them being Ibanez in my head - even after all the good reviews! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This on has it on the top, maybe they've putted some washers on top to sit the head still and maintained the back compartiment?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, you can always return stuff if it's not what you expected. I have to say though, the Promethean gear is really high quality, I admit i was very pleasantly surprised at just how solid the little combo is Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, maybe it's as simple as some shallow routes in the cabinet, and the feet sit in there? Who knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm consistently amazed by mine, both as a combo and a head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stumbled across this cab a long while back as a friend of mine was reviewing it then ended up buying them. They sound great and for the money, you can't argue at all. It's definitely an alternative to MarkBass. I'd choose it over Markbass. I'd like to get me the combo 1x10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceH Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Has anyone had a poke around inside a promethean cab yet? I'd be really interested to know what drivers they're using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
