Just spotted this at £170: [url="http://www.basscentre.com/bass-cabs/eden-ex110-cab.html"]http://www.basscentre.com/bass-cabs/eden-ex110-cab.html[/url] Anybody got any experience with them?[/quote] Now that's very cool, and great value! I don't think you can go far wrong with Eden... Eude

[quote name='Truckstop' post='937368' date='Aug 26 2010, 05:52 PM']Wow, that fretboard rally catches the eye! Lovely Truckstop[/quote] Thanks dude

[quote name='Count Bassy' post='936310' date='Aug 25 2010, 07:35 PM']It's a light weight 2x10, so I wouldn't have thought wheels essential, however I would like to see a handle one side as well, to keep it clear of the floor when carrying. Anyway, when are the P5112 and P5212 coming out?[/quote] Funny, I was bugging TC Electronic about a 10" combo version of their BG500 or 450 Combos, they never replied though I have to say though, I moved from a MarkBass head and Aguilar GS112 to the tiny Promethean 10" combo and, at least for my purposes, it sounds just as big! My 2p anyway... Eude

[quote name='danweb22' post='935783' date='Aug 25 2010, 11:26 AM']Yeah did a trade with him for my Valenti! The ACG is such an awesome bass with so many different sounds available (as i'm sure you know having one yourself) lol Who else is in the club, just you and me? [/quote] As far as I'm aware it will be just me and thee! I think we're the only folks with Finn SC's too, for now anyway, I think Alan's building at least one more at the moment. I think there'll be a few more sounds in your ACG than mine, I've only got one pickup and an EQ02, couldn't be happier with it though! Eude

[quote name='danweb22' post='935770' date='Aug 25 2010, 11:15 AM']Yep, still waiting! No reply to emails from the last few days [/quote] That's a shame dude, it'll be worth the wait though On a side note, I see you've pic'd up [b]dontcarebear[/b]'s loverly ACG SC Finn! You lucky dog you, I'd have had that in a second if I had any spare cash... You can soon join the exclusive club of owning both an ACG and a Shuker! Eude

Gorgeous

What a beautiful bass mate Congratulations! Eude

Nice work Rich Really looking forward to seeing this bass in the flesh, hopefully at the next Moffat Bash, if Matt will let anyone touch it... P.S. Is that a pub to the left of the shot from your garden? Surely that's a danger... Eude

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='928469' date='Aug 18 2010, 11:19 AM'] Splendid. Build thread? Pretty please?[/quote] Yeah man, I'll try and do something, having to borrow and beg tools for the moment though and have no proper space to work in... I'll be gluing up the headstock veneer this week, then I'll be leaving it till I get down to London beginning of September. Luckily, my Fiance has a work bench, some tool etc. and if necessary, her dah has a proper work shop full of spoke shaves, files etc. I see some horrific hand injuries in the next few months! It's a shame I didn't take photos of the process when I did the actual build years ago, pre-digital cameras though... Eude

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='928448' date='Aug 18 2010, 11:02 AM']Ah, the 6-string fretless? Eeeeexcellent.[/quote] Indeed Alan has very generously been giving me some advice on how to finish it off properly, I built it about 14 years ago, strung it up to test it and ended up playing it for about 3 years, so it never got finished properly. I'm going to put on a nice headstock cap, a wooden scratch plate, a proper recessed control plate on the back, epoxy the raw wenge fingerboard, possibly replace the bridge with some chrome monorails if I can find them cheap enough, give the whole thing a good oiling and a proper set up. I have heard you can't polish a jobby, but I'm going to roll this one in glitter Eude

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='928420' date='Aug 18 2010, 10:36 AM']You lucky, lucky bugger! Glad to hear it. I'd love to see the body in the flesh. The pictures never quite have enough resolution to make out the grain very well. But the big question is... what were you doing down at Alan's? Do I smell a new build coming on? Anyway, just got this from Alan last night. Holy crap, it's a whole neck: Admittedly, it's not carved yet, but we're getting there. [/quote] Yeah man, it's going to be a lovely bass, the wood always looks so much better in real life though Afraid I wasn't speccing anything up, unfortunately, bit of discussion about a few exciting things for further down the line, once I've moved and got a new job..., but Alan was helping me out with my my "project" which I think you spotted in my Promethean thread a few weeks ago Eude

Hey dude, saw the component parts of your bass on Sunday last week. It's going to be loverly Eude

Really really sad news. I'd never met Si but we'd talked a hell of a lot on here and by P.M. and considered him at least a "virtual friend". His huge contribution and wit will be sorely missed on here and my thoughts go out to everyone left behind. Rest In Peace Si. Eude

[b]gaf[/b] - it does sound faulty to me, not an oddle of hiss from my amp, even at pretty serious volume, get it sent back Well did my first proper gig with the little Promethean last night and it totally rocked! It was in one of the Spiegeltents as part of a "Fringe" event to the Edinburgh Festival. Crowd of about 100 people, unfortunately in a space that would've easily held 250/300, but a great test for it. I used the amp to feed the PA via the DI (had to use the -20db switch as it was breaking the desk ), and used the combo for on stage monitoring for the whole band, so the bass wasn't through the stage monitors at all, quite a contrived but a very specific test. I was competing with a full drum kit which was mic'd up, two vocalists and an electric guitar going through a Fender 2X12 which was also mic'd up and through the PA. Very pleased to tell you The Promethean passed with flying colours! Everyone could hear the bass very clearly on stage, the tilt back feature and the middy nature of a 10" speaker really gave my sound a lot of presence, but man it throws out a lot of lows at volume too. The best bit was the sound guy asking me to turn the stage volume down as it messing with the PA and it was pointing across the stage, not out front! I also managed to lug everything, bass, amp, effects and stand, in one go over a half a mile walk, without dying, to the venue as it was right on the harbour and there was nowhere to park my little Fabia anywhere near! All in, I'm very very happy. Eude

I've really not noticed much hiss at all, however I don't use much of the EQ section or Vibe Control, just a bit of bass boost and I'm good to go. Got my first proper test for the little combo today for a Festival gig, planning on using it to feed the PA and as my onstage monitor, will let you know how I get on. Cheers, Eude

Wow! That is amazing! More info please... Eude

[quote name='Spoombung' post='917194' date='Aug 6 2010, 05:33 PM']Funnily enough, I was thinking of doing just that. You read my mind. [/quote] I'd give this little guy a go >> [url="http://www.mackie.com/products/srm350v2/"]http://www.mackie.com/products/srm350v2/[/url] We use the 12" unpowered versions of these as part of our PA setup for pub gigs and they're awesome! They tilt back on their side like a wedge too, which is a nice feature... Eude

I can vouch for the Promethean Range. The little 10" combo I have is incredible considering the sound, so I'd be quietly confident that the 10" extension cab would be just as good, I'm still incredibly and pleasantly surprised by the build quality too!

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='916062' date='Aug 5 2010, 03:00 PM']Oh, and kudos to Alan for having the flexibility to accommodate these changes through the build. It's an organic process, dahling. I've edited the OP to show the changes to the original spec.[/quote] Alan's a true gent and a pleasure to work with I imagine he'd be less happy about the pickup change if he'd already routed the holes for your original pickups Really like the spec though. Eude

Looking good dude! Good luck on the big day too! We're planning ours for early next year, it's scary stuff isn't it Eude
