  1. Ah.  now that is very interesting   2 Monacos   well I use a shuttle and a Monza  but I keep putting my Vanderkley under them too , with 

    the horn turned down .

    So do you have a switch for the bottom horn or does it sound fine with both horns , no phasing probs .

    Im in a reggae band so have to use a lot of bass boost - have been absolutely toying with the idea of getting another one 

    but not sure I want the height with the horn so near my ears - decisions decisions .

    I have come from using 2 vanderkleys - to 1 Vanderkley and a Monza , which sounds superior - but the height is creeping up

  3. Yes absolutely  - love mine, clear as a bell - I sometimes put a Vanderkley 1x12 underneath it for bigger gigs cos I push the bass frequencies 

     

    quite a bit for reggae - but it is the best cab I have heard - totally recommended

  4. Shame about the thread - hope the sacrifices in accuracy will still be workable in this precision winding exercise 

    and that the pickups will indeed be repeatable - waiting on baited breath 

  5. This is great - but I don't think I would want  any Random stuff - cos if on the 29th go you 

    wind the pickup that is utterly magnificent  - hot - mellow - rounded - just perfect , 

    well how do you duplicate it .  I reckon with this much control you can experiment where 

    you want the "scatter" winds - 3 layers then a scatter then 4 layers and 2 scatters .......

     

    Might take a long time , but sooner or later you will arrive at a formula which you know 

    will sound Brill - and make the pyramids rotate and Machu Pichu  vibrate 

  6. Thanks to sandy-r for putting those links in - very interesting - I had actually taken 3 amps down 

    to last years bash cos I thought they were going to be doing it again - however that didn't happen 

    hope thy do it at this years bash 

     

    Heft - well it seems to be analog  don't know if its something to do with chopping the wave up

    then re-assembling it in the class D lightweight stuff - I use a Genz Benz shuttle 9.2 - but I also 

    use an old Markbass Slim Head - the last one they made before going lightweight class D 

    it just has that HEFT - got a couple of old valve heads - even more HEFT - so dunno - I know it when its there

  7. Hmmm  - check out the Clarke Hutchinson Band - crazy songs - great playing - pretty sure it was Stephen Amazing on bass - 

     

    memory fails a bit , would it be Andy Clarke on keys , same as Upp  - I saw Upp supporting Beck Bogart and Appeche in Top Rank Cardiff 

     

    god knows what year - that was when I realised these guys were part or wholly the Clarke Hutchinson Band of the LP I had - amazing

  8. Hi  Stub - yes really pleased with the cab - its actually LFSYS (low frequency systems)  

    Have been trying a few gigs on its own and a few with an extra cab under it because I

    use so much bass boost for reggae - have used it on its own for small gigs - but feel more 

    comfortable with the extra cab for larger halls - plus our guitarist has just taken delivery of

    his new FRFR 200 watt rig - that's RMS !!   so I need to keep the low end covered - but the 

    beautiful clear clear sound of this cab ( Monaco ) is superb

  9. Ah  - Mrs Screamer lol - I'll tell her you said that  - that looks like her 18 as far as I can make out 

     

    and that's me 10  I believe , behind Stevie -  must say an excellent day - THE FOOD ------ now 

     

    I understand why everyone was going on about  it - well this was my first time - well done all the 

     

    organisers - will try and get down for next year too

  10. OK - so I'm definitely coming avec la lady - who is bringing a book doesn't want to be left behind lol-

    bringing 3 amp heads - a power cable - don't really have any gear for the raffle - so it will have to be a bottle -

     

    see you all tomorrow - cheers

  11. Very interesting read - I use a Genz Benz shuttle 9.2  mostly now and just found out 

    on another thread here that it has a filter set to 30 hz  

     

    this explains a lot , usually I like the low shape switched in 

    but it never gets boomy - one thing I did find is that I like 

    a valve that is very balanced on either side - the ones they 

    usually sell for the phase inverter - it seems to make Fi a bit Hi er 

  12. Gonna try n get down for this - never been to a bash before - can bring some  amp heads 

     

    Markbass Slim Head - the old analogue one just before class D came out 

     

    Genz-Benz shuttle 9.2 

     

    Hartke LX8500 - kinda like a shuttle , bought 2nd hand as a backup 

     

    Im very interested in seeing the Basschat diy cabs 

     

    also in getting the frequency response measured on these amps  

     

    Will pay the door - unless you still need it in advance

  13. Well I have no idea what this site costs to run - but I believe the members here would like to keep the site running

     

    I have read that some would leave altogether - this would be a great shame - so are enough people interested enough

     

    in keeping it free from trackers and ads  - I don't know how many supporting members there are now - I don't know if 

     

    there is a big shortfall, a small shortfall , or no shortfall - I also think administrators et al deserve some payment - 

     

    a tennis club would cost more or any other club - this one is for Bassists - I have already bought a couple of bits of gear 

     

    the people I bought them off were top notch - well they're bassists aren't they  - save this the way it is  - a great bass site

  14. Absolutely it is a problem - I just asked on another related thread if another way is possible 

     

    I asked how many members would it take to be contributing members and at what price 

     

    I for one would be happy to pay a bit more than £20 a year to be free of all this nonsense  

     

    I think it is cheap for that - surely there are enough members who are like minded - I should say that

     

    I have only recently started visiting this Basschat  and have not yet become a contributor - but 

     

    I believe this is one of the best, if not the best site for bassists - and its because of the members I have found here 

     

    jeez lets save it

  15. I quit my subscription to Guitar n bass magazine when they went digital only and wanted to unleash 

     

    hundreds of trackers on me - Im not on Facebook for the same reasons - although I sure would like 

     

    to be cos of Headfirst amplification  - Aussie valve amp specialists - but they don't have a forum 

     

    they have a Facebook users group or whatever you call it - but a great utube channel
