Charla Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 After being a 4 x 10 man for some while I'm on the verge of buying a Dr Bass 2460 cab. Does anyone have experience of these cabs and what are your thoughts? Cheers Charla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I may be wrong but... drop 'Marcus' a PM as I'm sure he got a couple of the DR cabs off Robbie recently and (though I may be confusing it with his Aguilar 4x10) he may be able to give some insight as he has quite a bit of experience with various 4x10s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) Warwickhunt is correct....... I have a pair of DR. Bass cabs, picked them up here 2nd hand I have the 1260 (3 way compact cab with a 12' 6' & horn) cracking little cab pn it's own. I also have a Dr. Bass 210 which I'm currently looking for replacement drivers.... I've had the drivers out and the cabs are really solidly constructed very simple design but very effective - good live sound from using the pair together, I use the 1260 for home practice I'm playing this Saturday at "Bubbles" in Ashington if you fancy hearing them - maybe give them a quick try out yourself... PM me if you want further details ATB Mark Edited August 18, 2008 by Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBalls Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I own a neo 2460 deep cab and i love it. Its light and very very well built. I found the bottom end to be tight and very clear all the way up the frequency range. Its a bargin buy to me, i have tried a few 2x12's (mesa, aguilar) and its much better than both of them. Robbie at RIM custom's is a quality bloke to deal with too. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm allowed to mock as I'm from Blyth and that ratio would be 75% If half the bass playing fraternity of the area turns up I'm not sure there'll be room in Bubbles for the punters!

Charla Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 And guitarists and drummers, Bubbles can be a bit of a Ashington musos gig! I'll bring my wife to meet Mr Warwickhunt, fortunately she's not from Bedlington or Blyth, and she has a good sense of humour (or does she?). Hope to see you there?

wateroftyne Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Nooo! Informal G2G and I'm gigging somewhere else. Dammit. Mrs. WoT would even have had her sideburns trimmed for the occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charla Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 But what about the Dr Bass Cabs? Well you'll be pleased to know (or not as the case may be) that I've taken the plunge and ordered the cab. Now I've just got to decide whether to keep my Ampeg 4 x 10 HE / Ashdown ABM 115 and ABM 2 x 10 compact Cabs? I also have an Ashdown ABM 500 amp, so if anyone wants a rig, just drop me a PM Cheers Charla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Just out of interest what amp are you going to be using with the DR cab and what is the name of your band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charla Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Ah well there's a question: I'm the proud owner of an EBS td650, and love it, it's heavy but worth every ounce. As for Bands, I'm a bit greedy: up until last year my main band, Alive and Kicking, hadn't been working for over a year, so I joined two other Bands to keep me occupied; The Fabulous Balls Brothers and All Shine No Shoes. So now I find myself in three Bands and still don't play every weekend. Previous bands have been The Fabulous Road Runners and the Rhythm Method. Frankly I was disappointed not to get the call to play with The Who or The Rolling Stones, but my Psychiatrist says that treatment is helping with my delusional thoughts! Cheers Charla NB I do not accept responsibility of any of the Band Names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory is alcohol addled but I remember a guy looking not unlike Mike Harding (FFS if it is him don't tell him ) leading the horn section. The Rhythm Method... tried it once As for the other bands mentioned... I seem to recall a guy called Choc playing bass for one or all of them; that wouldn't be you Alan? (awaits the obvious answer... who!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charla Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) Alas Arthur (yes he does look like Mike Harding) left the Band a long while ago, started a Band called East Bay with the impressive Dave Riddell on Bass. Nope I'm not an Alan, names Ian but everyone knows me as Charla: It's Spanish for talk or chat, which is what happens when I drink too much of Mr Daniel's golden nectar, but the name goes way back into the Dark Ages!
