fretmeister Posted August 11, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted August 11, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it from Alex when I moaned about how long my cab was taking to build and deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted August 14, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted August 14, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
