fretmeister Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 I've had a quick go with my Mark Bass and with the tiny Hotone in the picture. The Hotone - 5 watts - is hilariously loud with this cab. When cranked it's too damn loud for the lounge! The Mark Bass is obviously far louder and sounds excellent. There's more of a mid push compared to my One10 cabs, to the point where on the One10 I boost the mids and for this cab I've cut them a bit. It has a great tone and I noticed it sounded very similar even when wandering around the room. Low Bs are excellent and the treble is clear but without being ice-pick high, even with the treble boosted on my EMG equipped Sandberg (Flats) I'll try my stingray and P bass (both with rounds) later on when I get a mo. I haven't tried any FX other than a compressor so far. Just need that vaccine to get sorted and I can use it in anger... 6 Quote
Cuzzie Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 It is such a phenomenal cab - congrats. It does look like cherry on a cake 1 Quote
fretmeister Posted August 11, 2020 Author Posted August 11, 2020 My attempts to keep working this afternoon and ignore the cab have not gone well. 1 Quote
Cuzzie Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 I’ve put all kinds of effects through mine - handles with aplomb 1 Quote
fretmeister Posted August 11, 2020 Author Posted August 11, 2020 1 minute ago, Cuzzie said: Good we need more info and possibly audio Alas my recording kit is far away from my cab. And it's 99% plugin based. I've got 1 good mic and it's for live vocal use. As it happens me and a mate have been recording a lot but the plan is to use a proper studio for the vocals when the rest has been recorded properly. That way we can get access to loads of vocal mics we don't own / couldn't afford anyway. Quote
Cuzzie Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Fair enough To do it justice - I would have accepted phone video or audio just for a taster! Edited August 11, 2020 by Cuzzie Quote
fretmeister Posted August 11, 2020 Author Posted August 11, 2020 I might be able to do some phone video later in the week. Wife and kids are running errands for several hours on Friday so I should get a chance to crank it a bit. I'll get my proper FX board out too. 1 Quote
fretmeister Posted August 14, 2020 Author Posted August 14, 2020 @Cuzzie Be gentle. My first upload! iPhone only alas - and I think the bass might be a bit too quiet - and some finger clank is getting picked up. I'll need to have another go later. But in the meantime... I had to edit it at 2 mins because the postman rang the doorbell! Git! 1 Quote

I got it from Alex when I moaned about how long my cab was taking to build and deliver. Quote
gjones Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Just now, fretmeister said: Mine was early! This was back in 2012 when manufacture was by hand. It took about 3 months, although I was promised 4 weeks. When I ordered another cab in 2018 I had a good whinge about how long my old cab took to deliver, as I wasn't prepared to wait another 3 months for the new one. It was delivered on time, this time Quote

Love my Supertwin - I may have to get it out when the Mrs is out! Quote
fretmeister Posted August 14, 2020 Author Posted August 14, 2020 Thank you kind sir. Ive recorded a few on my Sandberg and P as well. I’ll give them a listen and then post if they are not too bad. 1 Quote
FinnDave Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 I have owned Super Twin serial number S001 from new - anyone interested in buying it will have to negotiate with my daughters when I've left this life. I must try it with my newly acquired TE Elf - truly a pimple of an amp on a cab like this, but I reckon it'll sound great. 2 Quote

fretmeister Posted August 14, 2020 Author Posted August 14, 2020 Same tune, but this time with a Precision. No setting changes at all. Loving that the different tones of the basses are coming through so much. https://youtu.be/FA176OaMRQU 1 Quote
