I owned an active USA Sub and a passive USA SUB version at the same time. Now only own the passive version and use it for every gig. Really growly without being over-harsh. Love it.

Welcome from the Mablethorpe area of our green and pleasant county. Im heading for 60 and loving being part of the driving force in our little band. You're merely a spring chicken at your age. If you ever see Revelry advertised as playing in our county town, come along and say hi!!!

Im a 90% thumb player, 10% pick player depending what is required for the song. Sometimes even use the joint area of the thumb an inch back from the usual plucking point to a deeper, more aggresive punchy sound. I vary plucking position on the strings too. Always worked for me. Think I may be in a small minority though.

Dont remember whether the L2000 eq controls are boost/cut from the middle position of the pots or just boost only, but I always run the bass eq at 70% and slowly add the treble from fully rolled off until the desired tone is dialed in - usually only about 10 to 20%.

Go G&L used Tribute L2000. Different enough and sounds/plays awesome for a budget bass. Or for Japenese with a bigger budget, FGN basses.

I play in a similar band and at similar venues. Neither myself nor the drummer go through our pa. Both our guitarists mic up their combos and go through pa together with vocals. We use a Yamaha powered mixer, tthree 15" tops and 2 monitors, one top on the floor and turned towards the crowd centre stage for the mixer to sit on. Does a fine job and no need for anything more.

Were Encores made in Korea?

Yes I found that but together with the Gretsch Falcon guitar, thats all I came up with.

Not mine - yet. IF I end up with it, I will de-neck and find out. Thanks Bassfinger.

Hi - can anyone shed any light on this brand please? Were they produced in the Samick factory. How was the quality? Thanks.

I have an empty GK 212 Neo cab if of interest. You can then load it with two 8 ohm drivers of your choice or fit two GK Neos.

Passive models are mighty fine too. I had both at one time, both 2 eq models, prefered the thump of the passive, so sold the active. Not regretted it one iota.

How did you id the jack cab from that pic?

It combines well with an Eden Metro, other GK neo 12 inch cabs for bigger venues and great as a stand alone cab. Built by Discreet with an Eminence Kappa driver. Love it.

What a great elderly (top half) little rig - punch and tone to die for.Perfect for small room gigs.

Within Lincolnshire, we charge £300 for town pub gigs and private partys (not weddings). Village pubs, we do for £240 to help these venues out a little, what with them being out "in the sticks" and trying hard to make a decent living.

Ive got cobalt flats one one bass and DR sunbeams on the other - use both pickups with the cobalts and just the bridge pickup with the sunbeams. Covers all bases.

I find they give a really cutting tone. I boost mids to get heard through the mix. Just trust what our wireless guitarist says re balance out front at soundcheck and leave it at that level all night. Maybe raise your 410 up as I do with my two 112s to be more at ear level. Rigs a belter with 300 valve watts running through it.
