More prone to interference from external sources.

An instrument with a quality of construction, fretwork etc that'll allow a low action has got to be good. Whether a player likes a low (whatever that is...) action is another matter.

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1377643893' post='2189941'] I have thought about it though, the most compelling argument so far has been to show I've taken reasonable steps to avoid injury/damage. [/quote] The most compelling argument i've encountered, for having my/our gear PAT tested is that there are occassions when I/we won't get to do the gig if we don't comply...

[quote name='Corvine' timestamp='1377552103' post='2188843'] Also, Berhinger do a cheap limiter/enhance, is it worth trying, or is it as cheap and nasty as the price suggests?! [/quote] I've a Behringer BLE100. It's far better than I expected it to be and the plastic casing, which feels like it should have broken ages ago, is still intact.

[quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1377461880' post='2187879'] Try it with an extension speaker, [/quote] I was thinking along those lines. Dodgy speaker, or the connecting cable. Does it have protection on the speaker outputs? Perhaps there's a faulty cable/connection that's causing a short circuit now and again (vibration perhaps) and tripping the protection circuitry? Just a thought...

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1377289388' post='2185985'] Are you suggesting that Apple hardware is somehow a more 'known quantity' than PC hardware? [/quote] Of course The Apple OS knows exactly (with only a few known variations) what hardware components it'll be running on. Limited choice of supported motherboards (eg, no AMD CPUs), GPUs etc. [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1377289388' post='2185985'] Even if that were true, what sort of application software has anything to do with the underlying hardware? Isn't that the job of the OS? [/quote] It was the OS that I had in mind.

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1377264346' post='2185546'] Macs are essentially ,closed' systems, so Apple maintains strict quality control over all aspect of what's running on them. This is the main basis for their supposed reliability. [/quote] Not really. Anybody can write software for MacOS, but it's easier to write stable software, that works as intended, when the hardware it's to run on is a known quantity.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1377259258' post='2185414'] As I mentioned earlier, TKS are about to launch some new, and redesigned cabs. Tommy's just posted an example of the design for the new cloth-grilled 112, which has had the port moved to the rear. Yum. [/quote] Crumbs!

Drop an email to Barefaced - see if you can pop along the coast to Brighton and try some of theirs?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1377179280' post='2184392'] BDI-21. £26. [/quote] Beat me to it.

I looked at these deals a year or more ago and tried the various cab combinations. Seemed like a very good value for money deal - not sure of the current prices/deals though. My preference was for 2 x 210's, although I ended up buying something completely different.

The Barefaced S12 is a (b****y loud) 4 Ohm cab.

[quote name='largo' timestamp='1377094791' post='2183278'] I don't like the sound I get using one of my GK Neo 12 (too weak and not shifting enough air) but using both together I do. [/quote] Fair enough, but if I didn't like the inherent tone of a cab, I'd be extremely wary of adding the same again in the hope that it'd turn into something completely different.

[quote name='HarperHawk' timestamp='1377092166' post='2183234'] Hi there, Yes my current cab is 8ohm. My original and long term plan is to have 2x10 (which I have) paired with 1x15 to sitting on the bottom, or possibly another 2x10 Pairing is definately the option as it makes everything a lot more transportable for me. The problem I have I guess is I don't like the sound of what I have at the moment and after using the head at a couple of gigs (with someone elses cab) I do think its the cab. A lot of it can probably be put down to the size of the cab but I thought that matching the cabs brand with the head may benefit me? Maybe Im thinking too much into it and another cab would sort my problem. [/quote] I'd have thought that if you don't like the sound of the cab, adding another would just give more of a sound that you don't like. Sell the cab - get something that you do like.

2 of 'em would get twice as much juice as the others. Apart from that...

" 'Oi!, don't you play in that crap band with the really fit singer?"

Technically, there's no real difference - an amp driving 2 cabs in both cases. Me - I'd just ask myself which sound I preferred, and whether it's worth lugging the Peavey around as well.

Your 300W combo will only put out ~200W into a single 8Ohm speaker. Hooking the 2 cabs to the Peavey will give the full output and it'll almost certainly be louder, but mainly due to the extra speaker rather than the extra wattage.

[quote name='krysh' timestamp='1376514601' post='2175427'] subscribed, but I bel[i]iev[/i]e that the player has more impact on the sound than the brand. [/quote] +loads. At rehearsals, Guitarist usually just uses whatever's there, but he always sounds unmistakably Martin.

[quote name='iconic' timestamp='1375818635' post='2166183'] Ive only just learnt that OLP were a company in their own right....they made budget copies of other musical instruments. [/quote] Hmm...I've always thought that they were officially licensed by EB/MM to build thier budget 'Stingrays'
