Jazzneck Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]FedEX delivered Friday morning so I was able to check everything through at home much to my wife's chagrin.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]A beautiful, well made cabinet which looks right, smells right and sounds great.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]So off to the gig the same evening in a medium sized coastal pub.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]I arrived with the guitarist and promptly surprised the rest of the band by walking in with my bass (Limelight passive Precision) on my back, TB500 in my left hand and BF in my right hand.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]The drummer fell about laughing, inferring that puny kit like that was not going to cut it.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Set up and decided to wind the band up further by putting the cab under a table in the corner of the stage area - more hilarity.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]We then plugged in and sound checked.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]I won't type the language that was used but the message after three bars of "Can't Turn You Loose" was for me to turn the volume down![/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]So the amp settings went to: Gain @5%, EQ flat, Master @10% and the landlord moaned that the volume was OK but his bottles were rattling and moving on the top shelf. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]"Why?", he asked.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]"Real bass", I replied.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]A bit of head scratching on my part resulted in me using my little Behringer BDI21 as a pedal to give a bit of controllable tone shaping.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3](I found the active / passive pad on the TBs input at the end of the gig. I'll probably have to use that active pad in most situations in the future).[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]A great gig ensued. The punters were happy, we were happy, the landlord was happy enough to book us back for a gig in May and again for his mini beer festival during the August Bank Holiday.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]More to the point,[b] I[/b] am extremely happy and glad that I made the decision to go with the RetroTwo10 as the replacement for my old Ampeg 410HLF.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]So, at this stage all is good.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]I have the sound, punch and more than enough volume whilst I'm saving my back.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Great stuff![/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]I'll let you know how things pan out at different gigs in the future.[/size][/font][/color] Edited March 22, 2015 by Jazzneck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifi2112 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Nice one ... I do like the look of one (or two) of those cabs. Please post more once you've broken them in .... and/or after honeymoon period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have the rumblings of GAS. I've been waiting for a review of one these cabs in a live situation and this is all very positive, all the more so since I currently own a 410hlf. Definitely food for thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lw. Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Is it just me or are the pictures not loading? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge Hands Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Enjoy. I'm loving my 2x 4ohm versions, although one is normally more than enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Is this the 4 ohm variant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 This was a 4 ohm one! Though a TB500 would drive a 12 ohm one LOUD when in its 8 ohm setting.
