Much better than those newfangled flimsy bendy vinyl discs.. :-)

It's more about whether the FR800 can get me a great just breaking up Fender Twin type sound as well as loads of bass.

Find someone who has produced something close to what you want before ?

Tempting..

The mesa Four:88 is pretty light - about 30 lbs

I found this if it helps.

[color=#777777][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=3]A major breakthrough for the live industry came in 1987, with Neutrik’s debut of the speakON created specifically for speaker connections. A new EU European Low Voltage Directive required that any connector capable of carrying more than 50 volts must be protected against inadvertent contact. Obviously, other connectors — such as banana plugs and 1/4-inch styles — did not meet this requirement.[/size][/font][/color]

Just gone through the relevant documents and I think it only applies to amplifier outputs (75v DC or greater) and not speaker cabinet inputs...

Even then my Mesa Four:88 only had jack type speaker sockets and was CE marked - perhaps it did not meet the 75v DC requirement?

The cabs are 1/4" jack only and would not meet EU safety regs i believe.

I'm not expecting them over here anytime soon.

What regs are those ? Plenty of guitar cabs with jack sockets only so unless there are bass cab specific regulations ?

Thought about a barefaced 410 ?

this won't be here long :-)

Everything is expensive

The irony is that I do not even need anything!

Me too... :-)

Going to be expensive though.. about £800 a cab here

Yep. http://www.quilterlabs.com/index.php/productpage/bassliner-series

I am so lazy that I find the thought of a combo peculiarly attractive

Nice.. a 2x12 stack I suspect would sound great..

Do they make bass cabs ?

Not out Bicester way, were they? I played for a band out that way who would match what you said (though never gigged with them, so can't be sure about the drummer) but I told them I'd leave after the booked gigs and they dumped me immediately. They were only a 'something to do on quiet nights' band for me anyway, been with my main guys for 4 years now.

Nope Banbury/Brackley based, but I had had the same conversation with the drummer a number of times... If I had wanted to join a thrash band .......... Main guitarist was a great player,well prepared and a really nice guy - the other guitarist/singer had no stage presence and appeared to want to tune his guitar between every song... And wanted to be in charge without doing any of the work :-)

Most recently control freak guitard/singer and a drummer who on the night played most the songs 20% fast (recorded gig so easy to run through a DAW to confirm.. ) His attitude was "so what"? More interestingly I offered to cover the gigs up until July, they declined. Last night was the next gig and they appear to have cancelled..

March ?
