I know some folk who had a big old 5 bed tenement on Castle Street - they let it out to students for 11 months and festival for one month - they made twice as much in one month as the other 11

Edinburgh is an amazing place to live... but only IME if you're a student, or have a decent paying income. If you're in the lower pay grades it's not that amazing as you'll have a good quality of life, but kinda no be saving very much. Plus if it's music opportunities surely it would be Glasgow you would move too? Way more open city to blow-ins too - Edinburgh can be a bit cliquey sometimes. On the plus side if you do similar to lozkerr and buy somewhere on the royal mile, factor going on holiday every august.... the rent from letting your flat out will pay for the month holiday, plus the whole year of mortgage payments! Halifax - super cheap and easy distance from Leeds, Manchester and at a push Sheffield Hebdon Bridge if you've a bit more money and want people to *know* you're a musician...

Exciting - it's odd that Yamaha buy a good brand and my natural reaction is "cool" if fender had bought them (not that they could afford) wewould all be like "oh no"

So you've got a top end amp already - if you like the Eden sound look at Thunderfunk as it's a similar amp but done really well. But it's not an upgrade, it's just a different sound. Cab wise I personally would just buy barefaced but use your ears and decide what you like!

Nice - and supposed to be a pretty amazing combo

Really the only options to reshell are a company in Singapore or convincing you?!

whereas the Tecamp M210 i had was just bad engineering IMO

Cab design seems to be either a super complex science, or a black art... and I'm not sure some of the "tonal" differences are anything linked to price or quality of design. There are exceptions to this of course, Alex C and Bill F seem to know what they are doing, I've backward engineered a cab once and it was clear they didn't know what they were doing...

forgive my ignorance but what would that let you do? the way I'm thinking it would work would let the B3n become a really powerful tool...

Almost definitely - Eminence arn't the cheapest over here compared with EU made speakers. I think if I were cab shopping I would just build my own, or head over the FRFR thread and go by the recommendations there to pick up a PA cab

There's now a B15 on the B3n

What's your current amp?

I *think* it sounds like it's modelling 3 different settings on a 12 band EQ - I don't think there's any additional compression changes going on modelling that part of the head but could be wrong. the preshape settings suck as much as they do on the real thing too

On the trace amp - no idea, it is a bit odd - I'll have a listen ant try and work it out

I would be impressed if that kinda detail carried through to a sim on a £130 pedal - but it wouldn't surprise me if it did I think the ebs, acoustic and markbass amps are all added after release - easy to install. Markbass through a 2x8 is a bit of an odd rig to model and I'm not quite sure what circumstances anyone would go "ooh you know what rig sound I want - a markbass through a tiny cab" but hey ho. The only thing it is missing for me is a B15

Zoom have, it sounds like I remember EBS stuff sounding when I tried it in a shop once!

be interesting to a b it against the hd350 model on the zoom b3n and see how far behind the zoom models are.

But....Have you got an ebs modelled on the kemper?

I had one of them - the Roland D-bass 210 - I'm not quite sure why I moved it on it was very impressive in the 'ultrA flat" mode. At the time I had a hellborg pre into a poweramp and a ACME B2 which again was even cleaner sounding. Sold them both and ended up with a walkabout which is like the diametric opposite of FRFR - but the MB AC combo is something I would like to try some point

When did this thread get so angry?

A lot of PA cabs are designed to cross over to subs. A bass cab will often go lower than a PA cab, because it's designed not to be crossed over. If you want low end then this is a good thing. Some of the nicer PA cabs discussed in this thread are designed to go lower and run without subs. This means you get a DSP controlled bottom end (more controlled than your bass cab) and the high mids/highs are coming out of a much nicer driver too compared to your Bass cab

Other thing to try... set the neck pickup with no or little resonance and set a "core sound" - then set the bridge pickup with a fair bit of resonance where it sounds good - for me I end up with the neck fairly open but the bridge cut more but with a nice mid twang coming from the bridge - blend to taste
