WAYNESWORLD

On behalf of us all thanks for reporting back. Probably could do with moving this into the reviews. On a a personal level thanks for helping me out with some real world experience.Much appreciated.

Thanks for this. There is so little info about these other than standard marketing blurb. Watched Anderson vids which are great ,but everything is always viewed as great when you’re selling it.If it’s not to much trouble could you pm me your thoughts when used in a gig situation . No probs if this is an issue. Appreciate you posting.

I’m having a real hard time getting real world live reviews on the Laney Digbeth up right 410 cab 600watt 4ohm. Has anyone used one of these in a back line only no Pa support situation. Also comparison to Markbass 410 /Gallien Kruger etc.Hope this is the correct section.Thanks in advance.

Once bought a H/H 115 bass combo back in late 70s as I was so impressed with the sound achieved by a local bass player using same amp but 2x15.The combo was the latest incarnation of the range. It was the biggest pile of plop put together under the heading of musical equipment.Incapable of any volume or usable tone.Needles to say don’t think I ever saw another one being used by anyone.

Just done a deal / trade with a local lad Skezza for some Markbass kit. Great coms.Pleasant little chat. Plus he has the lightest bass I have ever picked up. Nice guy to deal with.Totally recommended.

For me I made it,get to play music I like with band mates that are friends.We also get paid for doing something we enjoy without to much hassle.I’ve a very contented home life with a wonderful wife of 35 yrs and son I’m very proud of.With experience of making a living from something else I had great interest in and growing to hate it in later life. I am great full that I still get exited to day as much as I did when I first started many years ago. I suspect a lot of the (stars) today have lost that feeling . The ones that have truly made it are the ones who still love what they do having been very successful and also have a great home life.This industry can give great rewards and fame but also be one of the cruelest mistresses or what ever the correct pro noun is these days.

We would have done that if we could have found the mic .We are mainly a Soul outfit and are really not that loud.But we do like to have a quality sound with depth to it which appears to send the last two meters into a frenzy.Play a skinny sound that grates on everyone’s ears at massive volume levels no probs.Just putting it down to another experience as we know the next gig will be a belter.

Last two gigs have been wrecked by decibel meter.Now before I am berated by comments of turn down then.These things were set at ridiculously low levels.The disco with poor low end as usual played at a volume that could wake the dead.We produce a quality full sound at a very low volume and trip the meter.It’s been a long time since we had this happen even in venues that have decibel meters in.Even after speaking to the agent after the gig he mentioned the problems artists playing in these venues are complaining that it is becoming really difficult to do there shows.His option is to put in a single act with backing.He then tells me the venues want bands with drums but the meters will not accommodate them.I have been playing for more years than I wish to admit to and played through 70s 80s when meters were everywhere and had no issue.We have now decided not to play anymore of these venues without the option to bypass or adjust the level.If we are not required to play at these places then so be it.We will always accommodate volume requests levels but sound quality to suite a decibel meter is non negotiable.The shows were very well received and we even got apologies from some of the audience on having our show wrecked by these meters.

Thanks folks for the replies.This was only going to be for interim to try out in an old spare guitar.until my East arrived. As all my bass’s have East pre amps. Thought this may be a simple thing. No probs. Thanks again for taking the time to answer.Appreciate it.
