tonyclaret Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Stumbled across these. Space age bass cabs. Weird!! http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2014/10/10/alusonic-introduces-alu112-aluminum-bass-cabinets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburstjazz1967 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Go on then......are they good for metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) They look cool anyway! I remember seeing a metal Ashdown guitar combo with palm tree cutouts once. Unless that was a dream.. Edited March 4, 2016 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I'd be interested to hear them. Their basses look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Bogner have done this with guitar cabs too (Bogner Atma) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgraff Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I would be nervous about buying one as every scratch or scuff would show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Launch price 650 Euros (30% off) - bit less enticing when you know this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mottlefeeder Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Looking at the grill design, there is a lot more aluminium than air in front of the speaker cone, so that will affect the tone. From memory, Bill Fitzmurice recommended aming for 40% metal maximum. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Too much like something from the old Sci Fi series UFO. Then again, im old No reason that they shouldn't sound good though, unless that thing about too much alloy is a factor, but i cant see them standing up to gigging, loading, unloading, cosmetic wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Fo sho I loved Straker and his crew. I just dont like those cabs - Italian flair has gone a bit too far. Bit marmite maybe. Some will love, some will hate. Thats the joy though !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 To be fair, the black one looks pretty conservative from a distance. I think you could "get away" with that on most gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yup the toned down colour helps a tad ... still too much for me though. One man's goat baguette is another man's arsenic bap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
