Why do guitarists still use big cabs like that anyway?

Sssshhh don’t tell him

basically don't listen to any of @dave_bass5's recomendations until unless he's had the thing for at least six months?

Next step towards the inevitable Mesa isn’t it?

well there you go! It does surprise me they don't do a 6 though. But if the demand isn't there I guess there's plenty of other builders who make really nice 6's

From a marketing point of view - why would they? They have a core ethos that you see through their product range - and for the demographic of players they are aiming at this works. Branch out into neck through or six strings or single cuts, or something else and you start to loose the proposition of what you are producing - which will harm your sales in your key demographic...

It only took you 12 years!

This they seem to focus on working pro players (how I’ve got one I don’t know) - I think the UK equivalent would be Overwater - high quality, non flashy, dependable basses for working pros

I had a similar experience. I've used loads of multi-effects, including Bass Pods (or xt?) and Zoom B3 and B3n - I went into a guitar shop to try the helix and within a minute I was sold!

Looks awesome

What I mean is - if you don’t rotate it what you loose in vertical dispersion you gain in horizontal?

Isn’t the horn designed to be used 90 degrees from the way you’ve used it anyway?

Given a thunderfunk and BB800 you gig the Quilter ... interesting, I had a thunderfunk a while back and always wondered if I sold it too soon - but if quilter>thunderfunk that give me something to think about

I’ve got them - they don’t put on that much pressure - good for somethings but not amazing

Interesting - I knew it had come out but hadn’t heard anything much about that amp

On a passive bass the pickups, volume and tone controls AND the input stage of an amp and it’s impedance are part of the same tone generating system- so yes an amp can have an effect on how the tone control works

FYI you've got wee flags on the languages section of that page - we stopped using that version of the Union flag in 1801 ...

I quite like @warwickhunt's solution of having two 2x10 cabs stacked vertically

and..... you're buying a new car?

? Huh - why’s that?

While agree with everything you said the resonant peak knob is boost only on the EQ-01 as far as I remember.

@attackbass is a pro player who I think uses that amp - he might have experience RE: overheating and reliability
