    This cab has now been traded, sold my Acme low B to( Stuee) last week, but he needs more grunt so agree to let him have this and take the 1x12 back as they were same price.

    I know a few people who went along to see you, all good comments back. before reading this. but i'm sure a basschatter on stage made the difference.

    I'm finally giving up one of my babies. Having got one and amazed with the tone and breadth of Bass, with my 5 string. So got another and run them both with two amps for a while, and latter with a 2ohm amp on Function band gigs. I still use one all the time for big band gigs and home practice, but the other has been sat here for five years now not used. So it is time. !! Acme info Here - https://acmebass.com/speaker-cabinets/the-low-b-112-full-range/ Mine are 4 ohm and both have the tweeter. RATHER NOT POST BUT CAN MEET UP WITHIN SAY 40 MILES.

    For sale is my TecAmp 4 x10 Cab ( L 410 -4 ) comes with fitted Rock-solid cover Bought on here just over a year ago, to go with my TecAmp black Jag Amplifier. I have now acquired a TecAmp M212, which still matches my Amp my Band but fits my Car better. I bought this on the reputation of my old 4x12 Techsoundsystem cab i had previously and regretted selling some years back. Light for a 4 x 10 with Neodymium speakers. Just what is required for rock n pop - serious trouser flapping. Good over all condition, musically in good working order. Was previously fitted with Casters to bottom of cabinet, so some scuffing to underneath, but i have returned it to new large rubber feet. See Pics. Spec: Model L 410 - 4 4 ohm. 1200 watts 1" Horn selectable, Freq35 - 19000 Hz, W=64 H=72 D=41cm weight 25kg. As seen in Top photo the cab has been fitted with blue LED light behind grill. I have modified the connection to now have discrete phono L.V. connection to front grill. So the transformer and mains plug is separate. Collection Please...... Can meet up within 40 miles if that helps you.

    I used to get all the regular Bass mags and there were articles in the US mag on mains cables and how oxide build up on your plug pins could also affect the tone. So I regularly would use a glass fibre contact cleaning stick to clean up my plungs pins till they shone . There were adverts for oxygen free mains leads at exorbitant prices as well. I did get rather anal there after making up larger mains leads using 2.5mm flex and also amp to cab leads at 4mm oxygen free from HiFi shops. I am over that now but always make sure by amp goes straight in the wall and not via many extension leads. Volt drop at venues, definitely affects your tone particularly in the bass, i have gone into this before on here, when in Marquees just be aware long standard extensions are a tone killers. I have noticed this in Hotels also when the dish washers go on just as you take to the stage, as well as chillers in the Bar cutting in, you can physically hear the change.

    Lots of good advice posted above, Construction is key. so go try loads of secondhand high end basses, as suggested Bass Direct near Warwick should be on your list and Bass Bros are not far away so worth a trip in that direction. I did use one of these Aphex below, a suggestion if you get the choice wrong. I don't need now i have the right basses and cabs. But I'm have found a 1/4 sawn maple neck with swamp ash body the way to go, a light resonant bass is the start point. I am happy with my 5 string but is a very good Marleaux. I bought on here second hand about 15 years ago. and as a pointer I have recently bought a Sadowsky 4 string with the best sounding bottom octave E - E I have ever heard. Which makes me wonder what their 5 string are like. It is Ash and chambered. Good luck try everything.

    I think this is the only selling point, but No I'm happy locked in my room upstairs

    Exactly this. Some know what their roll should be in a band situation others do not. For me they should cover Keyboard based tunes as a Pianist and everyone else steps back. In other pieces they should be handling the Brass, Sax and string parts.

    This is my ear worm at the moment, i seem to be singing it all day. So this is what i'm listening to, there is a why, and that is I am playing this arrangement at the moment. One rehearsal and can't get it out of my head. Barry Manilow back Piano duties with Bette on this one.

    I have re read your post so my original comments now removed are not valid, thought you were referring to the nylon guide on a zero fretted bass. what a difference that full stop makes 🤫
  15. deepbass5
    I'm just wondering why you would alter a zero fret design, as it is the zero fret that is setting the string height and is same material as all other frets, The nylon string guide is just that, any plastic material will do just to keep the strings in line over the zero fret. The only reason I changed one on my Status Electro was allowing for different coated strings of larger diameter than the current slots. So made a new guide out of i nice piece of Yew i had, which complemented the body and fret-board. but the zero fret stayed.
