wateroftyne Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 [quote name='Sibob' post='349469' date='Dec 9 2008, 10:49 AM']Maybe I should consult Jorg.[/quote] Go for it.. have look through TB if you haven't already, too. There's loads of stuff on there about the different Schros...
mcgraham Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 If you're wanting a cab that'll be 'in your face', Schroeder can definitely do that. I loved my Schroeder, and there was only a few reasons why I moved it on. I'd snap this up Si if you're looking for a tight sound that's very prominent in the mix. It's also a real looker! Mark
Sibob Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I think the main thing I'd have an issue with on this cab (aside from the fact it's in Newcastle haha), is the cloth front. I'd definitly need a normal grill. It would be toured heavily in the back of vans! Again, perhaps Jorg could send me a grill! I think (touch wood) someone is gonna take my EUB in the next couple of days, so let me think on this! Si

Of course it's not going to offer as much protection as a grille, but it's not totally vulnerable. You could always cut a sheet of ply to fit and lie it on the front before you put the cover on it...

wateroftyne Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 Oh.. another thing (this isn't a cheap bump, honest) - Ol' Daddy WoT is a genuis at packing stuff, bless him, so it'll be very well protected if it needs to be shipped.
Sibob Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I'm definitly not negating the fact that Schroeder covers are great, But I'd definitly need a grill or it would get pretty shredded in the various vans we pack like tetris! ha! Si
wateroftyne Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 Forgot to mention - It's still my main gigging cab, so if you'd like to collect it or just come and give it a go I'm in Barnsley on Jan 3rd, Knaresbrough Jan 23rd or all around Newcastle the rest of the time.

What's the venue?
wateroftyne Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 Hello! It's The Frazer Theatre. Drop me a PM nearer the time if you want to come along and I'll pop your name on the door. Or you can pop to the soundcheck if you like. It'll be about 5pm...ish.

carlosfandango Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 it's still here....amazing.....very very good cab. And the custom styling it looks way better than my "standard" styled cab. hmmm...here's a deal...if someone want's my standard 410L I'll buy WOT's.
wateroftyne Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 Cheers, Carlos. I can understand why it's still here. Current climate, bad time of year... To be honest, if/when I do sell it I'm in biig trouble as it's still my main cab. ha ha. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Oh - I'm not sure what you had in mind but if you are after something "old School" I'd recommend a Bergantino 4x12. I I had it when I lived in Canada but foolishly sold it before I moved. another cab that has a relaly nice old school vibe is the now discontinued Sadowsky 410...not very 4x10 sounding at all but very fat and warm sounding cabs. Good luck!
wateroftyne Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 Another bump... C'mon, folks! Get yourself one of the bigger Schro cabs for similar money to a new small one... Actually less, if you take the cover into account...
Bassmouseman Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I've got a std styled version and it is the best cab i've ever used! If i had the money i'd buy it just to have a spare.

wateroftyne Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 Times are tight, I suppose! Also.. I've been using it a lot as well, so I haven't been in a hurry to sell it.

Delberthot Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I wish someone would buy this. If I had the cash or you wanted a swap for a Corvette $$ 5 string I'd be biting your arm off for it. This is exactly what i am looking for for use with the rock band.

Me and at least one other NE Basschatter would probably pay money to watch Mr Wateroftyne play a gig on a five string Warwick, eh Mr Hunt?
wateroftyne Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 Ummm... Err..... Ummmmmmmmmm..... Hmmmm....... No. My poor brain can't comprehend it.
