VTypeV4 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 [quote name='bootsy666' timestamp='1431127270' post='2768158'] Well.... The speakers are in and wired up, and I have to say it's possibley the [i][b]best and lousiest cab [/b][/i]I've ever heard! I can't hear any phase issues what's so ever. Is a little on the heavy side now tho haha. I played it through it for 2 hours straight with drums and guitar and it just sounded like a good cab.

Phase issues may not be noticeable right next to the cab however 30ft down the room on or off axis it may be a different story. They usually manifest themselves as errors in dispersion and frequency response. Dependant on your sound, they may be hardly noticeable. To be fair as stated many times, all the rules have been broken so any speculation is moot anyways. If you're happy with it and it works how you want then it's a winner! Hope the Celestions work well for you, my cab with the 1525 is pretty sweet sounding inspite of it's average spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootsy666 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 I tried it clean at first, and the room was quite big! It just sounded really smooth. The volume was 4, and the gain at 5, and it still took out 2 light bulbs in the roof. Then I tested it for 2 hours with all my pedals and I'm 100% happy with it. And those rear ports are perfect, I could feel a steady flow of air coming out, thank you for that Alex. I guess the people at the back of the room at the underworld will tell me how it sounds in June? I'd like to test it with more volume really, but it wasn't our usual rehearsal place and the guy didn't sound happy about the noise haha.

BruceBass3901 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I have followed this thread silently since you started it and I now have to chime in and say that this is everything that a bass cab should be!

bootsy666 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Any thoughts on the bugera btx36000 nuke? I've ordered one as a backup for live shows. Dirt cheap at €280 from France with free postage. I just thought I should have a spare amp that can power this cab if my marshall ever failed during a live show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Underworld has a good PA and very good house engineers - none of this DI nonsense when I played there last year, bass cab was properly miked - but I really wonder whether they'll know what to do with this one.

RandomBass Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Stunning.
