bjelkeman Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Just unpacked them, so a limited experience. The are padded, nice fit, but not so tight they are hard to pull over the speaker. The quality feels nice. Haven't had time for a detailed look you (seams etc), but at a first look I am satisfied.

franzbassist Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1418397633' post='2629910'] They look like the Berg ones from the pics. [/quote] They are well made from a nice thick materal. Perhaps not quite as good as the Bergs in my opinion, but not off by much. Should last years...

M@23 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Got my covers today, will get some pics sorted. They are really nice! Well padded and nice snug fit. Hugely relieved that I kept the cabs in as new condition loading them in and out uncovered!I ordered two speaker cables off Tommy too - nice short ones so they don't drape across the floor when connected. They cable is really chunky and they look to be top quality too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTB Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 14kg?!? That's one kg more than my tiny MarkBass NY121. I'm looking forward to trying some of these out in the new year. Thinking of seeing if I can find cabs that will work for both upright and bass guitar to save space and rationalise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The H115 works with upright bass, but it is important to have an amp that isn't too bass heavy. Personally, I think 12" woofers sound better for upright, so my plan is to get a pair of the smallest 112 cabs for that reason. Same colour scheme, of course. Another day. Another year.

M@23 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So, my new TH500 has arrived. One gig down and two to go this weekend. First impressions, it is great and paris with the TKS like they were made for each other. Amp and cabs have beautifully voiced mids and respond so well to each others.

JTUK Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 That is a tempting colour combo.. But our review suggested the TH500 and S112's were a great pair. The PF500 was good as well so the match is possibly more down to the cabs, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 They do seem to pair well. The EQ of the TH500 is very powerful and more usable than the Markbass. It's nice to have the semi-para mids again. The Tonehammer DI is also excellent. The amp and cabs do seem to compliment each other superbly. The thing that seems to impress everyone about the tks - the lovely clear MIDs are only enhanced by the Aggie. The upper MIDs are so pleasant, the high notes that lurk above the 15th fret are still super smooth with no clank or shrillness. I was happy with the cabs with the Markbass but can only say that they do all that and more with the Aguilar. Still the lovely MIDs, still super smooth up high and defined down low; but with a more effective EQ, and, half a dozen gigs in, I'm finding it easier to get my sound quicker, whatever the quirks of the room/stage. If anyone gets chance to try a TH500 with your tks, do! I can't imagine anyone not liking it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GILLY Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I should have explained that the pics above are of my H115 (old model). I had the tweeter added before it left the manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
