Read my earlier posts, as with the fender deluxe, the problem with the bass terror is that the existing master volume doesn't give fine enough control at low volumes.

I always read everything. This is exactly where a master volume is placed and you already have one... This trick is used on amps without a master volume to be able to use them at manageable volumes. On old tubes (valves) amps, it is very usual to add this master volume for this exact purpose. Don't forget that if it's badly made, you'll get a lot more noise too. And I would add that the Orange Bass Terror is badly designed if the master volume is useless at low to very low volume as it's really what it's intended for.

It's the AT 410+, like my combo is the AT 800: https://www.grbass.com/portfolio/at-410-plus/ AT = AeroTech. My mistake. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was intended to go up to 11. Stub's solution seems a good one, using a log taper pot. The OBT isn't necessarily badly designed, log pots generally aren't but are accomplished by having two segments of track with linear tapers, one a steeper taper than the other, and the characteristics of the log pot itself might give rise to the poor low level accuracy.

la bam Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I'd say something was wrong to be honest if you are gigging (not practicing) and on its lowest volume it's too loud.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birch is and it is as tough as hell, spruce is very light and was used for the prototype BC112 MK3. However spruce is softer than Birch. Poplar is a good compromise. Its all relative. My BC112 MK3 weighs 12.4Kg, not as light as the GR equivalent but similar to a Big Baby II. It is also very well balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musiqman Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Woodbrass mentions the 410/8 is not available any more. That made me wonder. Good to hear they are still being made. Now if shops would still offer them in. Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weight is such an advantage and it has lost nothing in sound quality - in fact for me, even taking the weight out of the equation, it is the best cab I've owned by a margin, and I've had MANY. Currently pairing mine with the GR1400 Dual. A 1200w capable rig at 18kg. Every bass player's spines dream! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookPassBabtridge Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I’ve just seen that Bass Direct are now stocking ‘Full Carbon’ cabs. These appear to be new for 2022 and in addition to the Aerotech cabs. Anyone know what they are? Are they even lighter than the Aerotechs? I wasn’t sure that would be possible!

binky_bass Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Looks like the top of the cabs have the carbon weave showing vs the pre-2022 ones that have tolex on top and weave on the sides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although (and I may have not looked properly) I can’t see anything regarding weight on the product pages - which is a bit surprising. I have couple of their guitar cases and one of their bass cases and though I have not weighed any of them they are pretty light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. Looks like they’re the same price as the AeroTechs, I presume it might shave something off the weight otherwise it seems a bit pointless to bring out a new version for cosmetics alone.

Wilco Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I’m hopefully off to Bass Direct on Tuesday morning to try a carbon 212. Any current GR users with carbon cabs got any longer term real world feedback on sound & durability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any current GR users with carbon cabs got any longer term real world feedback on sound & durability? I've had my GR AT410+ for around 6 months, I absolutely love it. For context, my prior rig was a Mesa Boogie Strategy Eight:88 with two 410 Powerhouse cabs, so I wasn't exactly coming from a shabby amateur rig! The AT410+ is obviously super lightweight, it sounds fantastic - very articulate, great bottom end, a really good all rounder. Construction feels a bit flimsy because of the weight, but it isn't - its a trick of the mind! I've had mine in and out of the car every week, up and down stairs once or twice a week, it's been used for maybe 6 hours at high volume every week and it's not missed a beat. I pair it with a GR Dual 1400 and it's pretty much the best rig I've had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
