I'd make some 'chocks' out of wood to stick behind it.

Awesome news Alex, expect an email Monday

Out of interest, could these ever come with black cloth instead of silver?

Nice one, gigging it in the Swindon area anytime?

Yep, I have, at Bass Direct with my cab and bass. Mental loud and very pokey. The pre shapes made a big difference. It had a very full sound from the lows to the highs.

I'll be there if im not gigging, will bring a Mesa M9, Mesa 2x15PH or Berg NV412 (whatever i decide to get) and Jap 70's reissue P Bass.

My second transaction with Pablo happened today. A great guy to deal with and a pleasure to meet. Cheers mate.

Just sold a Hartke LH500 to Matt. Great guy to deal with, paid super fast and let me know it had arrived safe and how he got using it in anger.

[quote name='Mr.T' post='560014' date='Aug 4 2009, 10:55 AM']I (and others I guess?) would be interested in your journey.... and what you were trying to achieve.[/quote] I started out years ago using Peavey or Marshall 15's playing thrash and punk and although certainly not an expert with EQ settings was fairly happy with what I was throwing out. I took quite a few years out (playing with motorcycles mostly) then a few years back had the great chance to get back into music, so I didn't start back up with any previous sound in my head. Spent a long time in music shops trying things out,reading reviews and listening to as many local bands as i could, and settled on some lightweight 10's (4x10 and 2x10). But even though in the shop my first thoughts were Wow!, live was a different story, I always felt there was something not right, to me they had a very 'middley' sound, sometimes almost boxy, yes they did go low and high but never sounded how I wanted. I tried a few friends speaker cabs of several shapes, sizes, prices and weights and always took my own amp for reference and came to the conclusion I just do not get on with neo speakers and am not keen on the sound I get from them. So I bought a Berg NV. But that is just my opinion. Tone is so subjective. 100's will disagree. I might have one last stab at the lightweight route with one of Alex's vintage cabs, and would be really interested in the findings of the compact on tour. What a great idea. Am sure Alex will assist you, but at the same time will defend his products to the end. Who wouldn't. I know lugging heavy cabs around sucks, but I know within the first couple of notes in the first song of the set. I'm grinning.

Hope you get sorted Mr. T, it can be so frustrating. I went down the lightweight route before and it just did not work out for me. It never sounded right to my ears.

I think it might be worth you trying the GK1001, they are very impressive amps, mind, I have just sold mine and went out and got a Mesa M9. Now that does put a grin on my face.

I have the EBS Multidrive and the Ashdown LoMenzo, I actually prefer the Ashdown, didn't get on with the EBS as I lost all my mids when i kicked it in. The Ashdown seems to keep them.
