I find that with my MarkBass 121H combo that I can just run pretty much any bass flat. The thing I dial to about 11 o clock is the low mids. I never touch the filters as it sounds good flat.

The thing I liked about The Holy Bible was it was just so dark, gritty and clunky.

Cool. Stuff. Let me know when your next gig is so I can kidnapp you and your amp head

Blimey Dave, I never knew you had the F1 in red. Uber jealous now Never knew you had an Epi either. I thought you had a Schroder

I bought an EBS Classic Session 60 and it really is amazing. Very loud with a wonderful deep thumpy sound. Not boxy at all like a lot of combos. Well worth getting one if anyone is thinking about it.

Im pretty happy I did actually, they sound really good together and are both great on their own so if your really tight on space, the extra inch on the 110 can make a difference!! [/quote] So whats the difference tonally between the 10" speaker and the 12" speaker?

[quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1324217769' post='1471891'] Had an awesome weekend of gigging. Used my EBS Reidmar with just a single 1x10 for both shows and it sounded fantastic with no pa support. Happy days [/quote] This EBS stuff is on my list of buys. Just not sure to go for 2 x Classic 110 or 2 x Classic 112.

Great news, I can now spend more money

If I was in the OP shoes I would be looking at doing media and business degree's. All those skills are transferable and probably more usefull in the real world when getting a job. I would then study music in my own time and play in lots of bands to gain experience and then let life sort out the rest.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1323857902' post='1467757'] This..................... as it is, neither do anything for me. [/quote] Yes agree to this and the only reason why I would not buy one.

Yep, this play is uber cool. Long may it continue.

[quote name='Clive Tee' timestamp='1323861755' post='1467822'] Thanks so far. Do you think the EBS 60 is better than the Roland Cube 60? [/quote] I have not tried the Roland Cube although they do get good to mixed reviews. All I can say is the EBS Classic 60 is awsome.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1323861770' post='1467824'] From last night, rehearsing a work-in-progress original. Much confusion over the sequence of sections (instrumental chorus, "the bit where it goes to D", etc etc). After the third attempt where all five us seem to think something different is supposed to happen, I suggest that we get a piece of paper and write it down. The guitarist says, "Don't write it down... I won't read it." [/quote] GGGRRRRR I would of had to say something scarcastic after that like "I will only use small words so you can understand"

I have the EBS Classic 60 combo and it is amazing. You can get any tone you want from it, deep, thumpy bass or clear and crisp. Plus its very very loud for a 60 watt combo. I use it for rehearsals and my MarkBass combo for gigs. However, I am so impressed with the EBS stuff and to the guys at EBS who I have been chatting with that I am ditching the MarkBass gear in the new year and getting an EBS Reidmar 250 and 2 x Classic 112 cabs. The Classic 60 is certainly the best combo around.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1323779023' post='1466841'] Thought so. It may have just been at the mercy of the eliments then. A luthier might have been able to fix it by (re)sealing it in properly. But it's neither hear nor there now you got it sorted. [/quote] Yeah true but as it was a brand new bass thankfully Musicman/S&T jumped on it right away and sorted it.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1323776825' post='1466805'] Out of interest was it an unfinished (ie. no varnish on the rear) neck? [/quote] Yes, unfinished.

I bought a brand new 3EQ Stingray back in 1998 and the neck would never settle. It would constantly be going out of tune and was just unplayable. I contacted Musicman who asked me to take it to Strings and Things. They looked at it and said the maple was too soft and just replaced the neck there and then. Never had a problem since.

There is a very worrying silence from Gareth.

[quote name='LawrenceH' timestamp='1323772064' post='1466696'] Tbh there is no harm in being a (polite, to start with) pain in the a&*e and it's often the best way, especially at a busy time like the lead-up to Christmas. I'd be nagging them daily at this point. [/quote] +1

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1323729920' post='1466433'] better still [size=8][b]THANKS F//CK FOR THAT![/b][/size] [/quote] HAHAHAHAHA

Oh Gareth, I hate to burst your bubble but I had to sent a Stingray 4 HH / White / Rosewood / Black Pearl Plate / Matching Headstock built in October 2011 back to S&T as it was made from old egg boxes and a bit of sticky back plastic. It looked ok apart from the made in a shed by a guy with a flatcap, a whippet and an fetish for cheese logo on the back but I could just tell it was not right Seriously dude, this is great news, really hope its a winner.

To be honest, I have no idea what tennis elbow is. What are the symptoms? The reason i ask is very very occasionally i get an sharp pain in my elbow. Does not bother me but just wondered if its tennis elbow.

Thanks Lawrence, again, this points to the more warmer cab suiting my requirements more. Just need to find out what they use in the Club range of cabs.

[quote name='ltswifty' timestamp='1323699548' post='1465949'] The whole wattage rating figures thing just doesn't add up between brands to my eyes. I also have a Genz Shuttle 3.0. it's meant to be 300 Watts into 4 Ohms, but it is nowhere near as loud as the Reidmar. I took the lid of the Genz Benz and saw it used a Bang Olufsen IcePower power amp, that has a maximum rating of 200 Watts into 4 Ohms from Bang & Olufsen's spec sheet. Great sounding amp, but power seems somewhat over stated ;-) [/quote] Funny you should say that, I had a Shuttle 6 (500 watts @ 4 ohms) and then a Shuttle 9 (900 watts @ 4 ohms) and I was convinced that the Shuttle 9 was only a little bit louder. It sounded great but did not seems to be that much louder.
