Jamesemt Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) I'm weighing up my cab options, one of which is to get a custom made 1x12 as I need it in 4ohm. Has anyone had a cab made by them (or seen/heard one by them?). Apparently they are reverse engineered Tech Soundsystems cabs... FWIW been quoted £280 each (I'd like to get two).

Raggy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Have not got one but am getting 2 2x12's. Popped down to see Mike this weekend and spent ages chatting about it, looking at the options and what he is making at the mo. Am guessing they are a sound bet. Someone on here has written about trying a 2x10......but do you think I can find it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I phoned asking about Tech Soundsystems when he suggested they could build me one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I really like the sound of these! I bought a MarkBass Little Mark 250 and an Aguilar GS112 from Mike last year and was really very pleased with the service, and amazed at Mike's ability to talk forever even though I kept telling him I was at work! As much as I like the 1X12, I'm tempted to get a couple of 1X10 cabs made up so I can get the full wattage out of the MarkBass and to have the flexibility of two cabs... Does anyone know what kind of things he's offering? Maybe I should just give him a call. I'll post anything I find out. Cheers, Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 "Does anyone know what kind of things he's offering?" By the sound of it...anything you want. Speakers, coverings, configurations. I said to him what I was after, and he said "leave it with me and when your ready i'll build them" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Looks like normal tech gear mate! (niiiiiice) I don't quite follow, what did Mike make mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIM Basses Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Mike made me a Custom Cab a few years ago with B&C speakers, it was a 412 cab and it sounded great thru the Mesa 400+ at the time. Had it for a while till I got gas for other gear. Robbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(niiiiiice) I don't quite follow, what did Mike make mate?[/quote] He put more powerful neo's in both - 10s on top 12s underneath - new handles on one, and altered them to run down to 4ohms, and did things to the amp that I can't remember (but have written down somewhere ). My use of the word [i]made [/i]may have been misleading, perhaps I should have just stuck with [i]customised[/i] .
