bassmayhem Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1416446301' post='2610390'] Thanks for making me want both now How do you find the bottom end between the H115 (is that the newer smaller cabs or the older bigger ones?) and the 1126? I don't want a cab that's all mids and not enough bottom and requires a lot of EQ to sound "balanced". [/quote] A hard nut to crack, since I haven't got an old H115 or a 1126, just new (small) H115 and 2126. I'd say there is enough bottom in any of them but you get nicer mids with the 1126 or 2126. But that's my personal opinion. I could use any of them single woofer cabs as stand alone and still have sufficient power for an ordinary gig, with a twin woofer cab or two singles, well, Geronimo!!! And - I nearly never use eq. Maybe to cut some lows when necessary, which was NEVER the case with my old Eden D112XLT cabs...

Wolverinebass Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 These do look very nice indeed. Is there any chance of either a 4x12 or an 8 ohm 2x12? Especially like the idea of the mid driver and tweeter. Possibly similar to the EAD 2x12 I played at last years South East bash which was really, really good.

Is the EAD equipped with a 6"? Trying to recall seeing a picture of something like that. That kind of design (if executed in a good way) has a lot of benefits, and can be found in the S2126 and 2126, which might see quite similar if you only look at the speaker sizes, but do things a bit differently. The S2126 being louder and the 2126 extending further down in the low frequencies as well as having more top end and slightly better mid range dispersion, also being able to handle more power.

[/quote] That's a pity. I would have really liked a 4x12. The EAD has a 6.5" driver. http://www.extendedaudiodesign.co.uk/ However, these aren't made any more. My main query is that whatever cabs should be able to handle the treble content of a 12 string (triple coursed bass). My Markbass cabs are okay, but I think I can do better in the top end response due to the piezo tweeters. It's fine for a 4 string, but my 12 is a bit hit/miss. Would the mid range driver be better?

Loved the shop!! Top end gear everywhere. I could have stayed the week and still had more stuff to oogle at. Didnt meet Barrie, but had a great day up there!

JimBobTTD Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hi tks, Where are you based? I've read the website a few times and this thread but cannot seem to see your location. If you have a stockist in the Stockholm area, please let me know as I am interested in testing a few cabs with my amp and, ideally, with other amps too. Thanks!

molan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Just a quick note to say that Tommy is expanding his production facility to accommodate increased demand so the workshop will be closed for a while from mid January. UK order deadline via BassGear for January completion is 17:00 on 30th December. Any orders placed after this time will be delivered mid to late March 2015. Edit - Last production slots already filled Edited December 29, 2014 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whe had a PrataBas get together at the TKS facility last fall. Tommy sells direct to customer; in that way you always get a brand new cab, unplayed and "unpawed" by others. Saves some dough too. I think TKS uses UPS for delivery, so that means shipping "everywhere". Edited January 12, 2015 by bassmayhem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
