[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1345393633' post='1777014'] Well I finally got round to getting the VS-112 extension cab for my Ashdown 220 Touring today. My local PMT had one in on display for £130 and I got it for £120 with a speaker cable thrown in too. I was pretty pleased I'll be trying it out at our next band practice. Oh, and to top it off, I bumped into my favourite local band outside the shop (Three Kings High: [url="http://soundcloud.com/threekingshigh"]http://soundcloud.com/threekingshigh[/url]). All in all, a good day out [/quote] Pics or it never happened Nice score though Eude

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1345132704' post='1774078'] Looks like a well designed cab. Would it be easier to hear on a gig if it was sitting on its side I wonder? Frank. [/quote] Aha! It tilts back, and has a fold out handle the like Promethean Combo, so it angles the whole thing upwards a bit. There's a lip on the top to stop your amp head slipping off too - incredibly well thought out design from EAD I'll try and get some more pics and some proper playing time with it soon, having a real DIY'mare at home just now, and for the foreseeable, so I'm really struggling to make any time to play Eude

My old Shuker "Pub" Jazz had a slab body, with a bit of forearm contour, I never really found it uncomfortable in the slightest... Still miss it, a bit... Eude

Looks great, but not a huge fan of the ash tray, they look OK on more classic styled basses, but this has a much more modern vibe to it so it looks a little out of place. Very nice take on the J Bass though

[quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1344955571' post='1771596'] I was looking forward to giving one of these a run with Dave at our studio but you went and bought them all [/quote] Ha ha, I only bought one, Spoombung bought the other

[quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1344948736' post='1771484'] Ahhhhh! Shame, good luck with the house and baby, some things are more important than gear, eh? [/quote] Thanks dude

[quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1344947807' post='1771464'] Medium and short scale are options with them, though they're not well advertised, worth mentioning to a Warwick dealer, maybe? Could be just 4 strings with the shorter scale options, I suppose. [/quote] As far as I know, they do medium and short scale options on the 4 and 5 string bolt-ons, but only on the German made more pricey ones. I wonder if they do a medium scale 6 string? This wasn't an option when I bought my old thumb though, way back in the late 90's. Man that makes me feel old. Anyway, I don't think I could be more skint right now, bought a house off someone who clearly thought the "D" in DIY meant "Destroy" and a baby on the way, so no chance of affording a custom shop Warwick for a long long time, but there's a few on my custom bass bucket list if my lottery ticket comes in this week... Eude

I should add, although the pricing of Warwicks has gone up a fair bit, there's very VERY good reasons behind the decision and they have brought in the Korean built Pro lines to bridge the gap too. Eude

Yup, I agree Gareth, that's a really special sounding bass. I used to have a Thumb Bass BO 5 string which sounded amazing! I've got some pretty nice sounding recordings with an old band, just Thumb Bass straight into a Sansamp, everything flat, bar a tiny bit of grit on the Sansamp. One of my favourite tones ever. If somehow it could've been a medium scale bass I'd likely still have it! Cheers, Eude

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1344808745' post='1769536'] The fit and finish on that cab, even in the photos, looks like Berg quality. [/quote] It's ridiculous! I've heard about these cabs denting anything they come into contact with, regardless of the material, they're built to last! Eude

Well I finally got hold of my new cab! A prototype EAD Foundation 112. I've not managed to try it out loud yet, but the neighbours are away this week I have tried these cabs out before though and I haven't heard anything better It's a 3 way design, with a 12", 6" and tweeter, all controlled by a custom designed, hand built crossover. It's an easy 1 hand lift and the fit and finish is incredible, especially considering it's a hand made cab, when the design finally makes full production it will be the best 3 way cab available on the earth, I honestly believe that! [attachment=115496:ACG_EAD_Nice.jpg] More to come over the next few days Eude

You can call it whatever you want, just make sure and bring it along Drop C is no problem either, be a nice workout for the EAD... Eude

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1344589146' post='1766673'] I'm going to try and make it and if I do I will definitely be up for giving it a bash [/quote] Nice one dude. You'll only get a shot if you bring along "Nessie" of course...

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1344585587' post='1766625'] I don't really know what markbass cabs sound like. The EAD cab has a very full, complete sounding frequency range- unlike the Aguilar 12's I played through at a gig recently(for instance) that were all top and bottom but not much mid. [/quote] +1,000,000. The sound form these EAD Cabs is "complete". Everything you put in, you get back out again, they're akin to high end PA speakers in that respect. I've never heard such clarity in a bass cab, almost like the sound you get from pro studio monitors. Charic, are you going to the SE Bass Bash? I should be there, with my EAD 1x12 if you fancy a wee shot?... Eude

I had a Thumb Bass Bolt On 5er a long time ago. I loved, in fact still love Warwick basses, but they're a little big for me. Having said that, now that they'll do custom 32" and 30" bolt on versions of their basses, if I ever win the lottery, there'll be a couple on my bucket list Eude

[quote name='Russ' timestamp='1343922891' post='1757415'] Sanderstead eh? I'm down the road in Selsdon. [/quote] Probably more like along the road, we're between Purley Oaks and Sanderstead train stations...

Very nice mate, I assume it's a single core 8 string bass, i.e. an ERB? How's it going to be tuned?... Eude

One of my absolute favourites, an ACG Recurve 5 string, beautiful and understated. Hope Owain doesn't mind me posting pictures of his bass, would love something similar at some point... Eude

Beautiful mate I've always loved Warwicks and that's a peach! Eude
