Thanks Hellzero, is it a diificult mod adding a second fan?

Anyone tried these for UB? very little info out there except loud fan noise and noisey switching. Looks too good to be true except the price tag!

Ah thanks

Can anyone tell me how to update my email address on my account pls?

Many thanks for everyone's input, most helpful. It sounds like my best option is 2x efficient 8ohm cabs. Genre wise I play in a number of bands which is kind of the issue as they all have different sound requirements. Duos and trios all is fine. But I also play in a 6 piece ska/reggae band and and 9 piece Highlife band. All in venues from toilets to large 500 capacity venues. The Ea Double does go down to 2ohms but you still only get 550 watts as per 4 ohms. I blend the pickups via the doubler which has variable phase reverse and HPF and I also run the full circle through a fishman platinum pro which also has phase reverse and HPF so I think I have that covered. What I do know is that whenever I go down the rabbit hole of getting my sound only louder the best improvement I can make is to practice more!!!

Hi I have an EA doubler and a 4ohm wizzy 12 m-line cab. Amp rated at 550 watts (@4ohm) and cab at 200 watts. I blend a full circle and a Krivo mag p/u. Happy with sound but need more volume. I can run the EA double with the peak lights blinking and master at full volume and the cab seems to handle this fine( which is a bit confusing - amp 550 watts, cab 200 watts?) but just need more volume for bigger gigs. If I added a second 4 Ohm cab like the Eden EX112 1x12" Compact Bass Cab, 4 Ohm that would bring it down to 2 Ohms. I have mocked this up with 2x P,JB 5" 50watts speakers wired at 4 ohms but it doesn't make alot of difference volume-wise and I see from the EA specs that the amp is still only 550 watts at 2ohms. My question, I guess, is will adding the 300w watt eden to the 200-watt wizzy give 500 watts and hence more volume? Or how do I get more volume? many thanks

Just replaced my full circle. Sure enough the new one sounds alot better so as often posted they do fade in time. That said the old one still works fine just a little muddy. Wondering whether to install it on the other side of the bridge instead of the adjuster wheel ? Could give me more options sound-wise and maybe even better feedback elimination which is the main reason for my thinking ie two pickups run quieter. Phase issues I can deal with on the amp. anyone tried this??

Any more feedback Mr Bassman,had a chance to gig it with UB??

Thanks The Rev,have read this as it happens.I'm a big fan of the PJ flight case because of the up firing speakers so this does look interesting.Guess I'll need to wait patiently for some uk reviews!

Anybody tried the new Acoustic Image Upshot extension speaker yet? https://www.thomann.de/gb/acoustic_image_upshot_s4plus_speaker_cabinet.htm

Thanks for this feedback, most helpful and I think worth the investment!

A conversation with our drummer last night got me thinking.....He uses custom made ear plugs and swears by them.What I didn't realise is that not only do they reduce noise levels and protect his hearing but also, he says, they demuddify the entire sound and help him to hear every nuance across the entire frequency range. Mmmmmmmm this sounds interesting. Removing boomy rooms and general dirge from what we are actually hearing as Double Bass players sounds too good to be true! Has any any experience of using the latest technology in ear plugs as a DB player and if so please share...................

Say hi to Ali for me,and sure be great to catch up!

[quote name='zero9' timestamp='1466959523' post='3080010'] I can only imagine that the 4b is more expensive to make. It has 4 recesses on top into which the feet of a stacked cab fit (the C4 doesn't). The 4b is physically larger and substantially deeper, thus you would imagine it'd produce deeper lows. I've run upto 4 x 4b's with DB and never found it lacking in lows. In fact I've had more issues with taming the low end (especially at medium to high volume), and end up cutting the lows from about 80Hz to 100Hz typically. Had I not already bought the 4b's (before the C4 was ever released) I would've opted for the C4 instead. [/quote] Thanks zero 9, not hung up on the frequency response really just trying to decide between the two.Fair point about the construction cost.I thought maybe there was a design concept for both cabs that was aimed at different uses.I guess an AB comparison would be the real test,but a little impractical!
