adriansmith247 posted a topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
Purchased from Thomann about 5 months ago and on my bass for a handful of gigs. Easy to fit but you need bridge adjusters. Sounded great but a little too dark for me. My bass didn’t like the standard realist either boxed and as new price includes postage of around £5 tracked -

I should point out that the metal part of the string has been wound around the peg. Fitted to a 3/4 bass I have never thought it could be an issue as the spiro E I use does it too -
On hold

Velvet Blue G A E at least I assume they are 😀 No idea where the other string is I got them of this forum about 3 years ago and loved them for a short while but never gigged as I didn’t want to get my nut and bridge setup. Been in storage all this time Please note These strings have been discontinued but maybe worth a look if you want a gut sound they are in good shape price includes postage offers?

Pirastro Oliv G been on my bass for around 6 months and then stored for about 12 months. Still has life Good for someone wanting to try with the big outlay for a new on. great sound I found it to have a little more tension than Evah light G and is a little thicker so I am sticking with Evah also worth knowing you will need to keep retuning until it settles down price includes postage

Are these light (weich) Spirocore strings?
-
I use one of these. Great tone and a really great price. I swapped from using a shadow a few years back and wished I’d done it sooner. -
Purchased an EA cab from Chris. He drove it to my door from Canterbury to Somerset, on route to Bristol. Just a shame there was no time for cuppa Great communication and super reliable guy. this is what basschat is all about
-
I can confirm that the Beedster special ‘deliver to your door’ service is top class. Highly recommended -

Sounds like you have a similar experience to me. I am more convinced to use two cabs stacked but only having the top one switched on. Kinda like an expensive beer crate (remember those? every venue with a stage had beer crates 🙂 Then again, I haven't played in a 'proper' music venue/pub for ages. They don't tend to like jazz) Do those Berg cabs have a tilt back option?
-
I have had similar things happen over the years. Another issue is that the louder you amplify the bass, the less of the bass you will hear. People spend days, weeks, years experimenting with pickups, strings and amps. It is all very subjective and a lot goes out the window when playing loud, which is why I tend to avoid doing that where possible. Best gigs are when I can hear my bass acoustically. I think the additional volume from stacking cabs may be one of the reasons I don't like the sound. There is a lot to be said for using a preamp with HPF. The times when I haven't used one and then had to plug into a PA have been terrible. Imagine trying to play subtle jazz bass when all you can hear is Sub Bass - I generally take a Fishman Preamp to PA gigs and use as a DI box, as I don't trust sound engineers with DB, and this is coming from an ex sound engineer (although the good ones are amazing) 🙂 For the record I use a Revolution Solo pu and EA micro with an EA 11 cab A great setup for low volume gigs
-
Do you have a photo of this thing in action? I am intrigued
-
You are right. I just checked on another site and consensus is to place as close as possible. I don’t like the sound though when stacked. Maybe it is too much volume as that messes with the bass a lot. The best result I have had is when stacking but with only the top cab in use.
-
Thanks for the shout I am considering this cab as I am only down the road and know how good they are. Trouble is I have a very nice EA 110 so would need to sell that and the. Still want a 112 for louder gigs if I had a spare 250 I would go for it though
-
Exactly the experience I have every time. But you got me thinking I think I can remember reading about stacking on talkbass ages ago Something about phase cancellation that you may not get with a 2x10 i also remember an article in sound on sound that discussed placement of bass bins. Not that I have a lot of options at gigs I’ll try side by side or spaced next time I am out and in need of volume - good shout Now I need a longer speakers cable and a 12 whizzy 😀
-
I recently borrowed a Euphonic Audio Whizzy 12 cab. That sounded amazing and has a good tilt back. Pretty rare these days though those Fearless cabs look amazing though. Thanks for the tip. If one comes up at a silly price I’ll be on it Most of my sound at a gig is down to the room, amp placement and volume of the other musicians. Having said that I never need EQ other than to adjust the level of LF. I have an old EA iamp350 that has amazing EQ and it always sounded better using a little low cut and a cut around 4k in fact, sound actually changes the way the bass plays and feels. A bad sound and the strings feel tight and I get tired hands Last night the whizzy 12 cab cut through at a function gig with drums vocal piano and sax. All with my little EA micro now looking for a Whizzy 12 (I know there was one on here recently at a very low price but I was young a foolish back then)
-
I am certainly interested in having something higher up. Has anyone every tried playing through one of those Bose arrays? The ones that have a bass cab and a long stick of speakers about 5 ft high
-
Now I have GAS for a PJB BG300 due to the upward facing speakers and there is a BG150 for sale at a good price here Anyone know if the BG150 can handle gigs with drummers? I would think not. My EA 110 cab just about does the job
