Bass Direct are doing a 15" combo by Genz Benz for £299.

I'd go to that.

Bobby, I would agree about the tweeter switches. How you finding the cabs then?

Well said, that man.

I love jazz. I don't play it but I love listening to it.

Ooer! Dusty lensed old phone photo. The pic was portrait and landscaped itself on upload. Very strange. Cabs are 18" x 18" x17" approx. MB200 is....titchy.

Couldn't wait any longer so cancelled my order for an eden cab with Thomann. Called Mark at Bassdirect and spent more money than I should have. I got two Genz Benz Focus 112 cabs. Instead of using the parallel jacks sockets to daisy chain them I made a Y speakon cable which works very well indeed. The GKMB 200 amp sounds great through these cabs, even at band jam session the volume didn't go higher than 9 o'clock. So much welly for one so small. I turned up to play carrying a cab in each hand and my bandmates just giggled as they carried them in for me. Then after setup and a quick cuppa we got stuck in. Big grins all round, finally I have my bass sound. Band mates are nearlŷ as happy as I am. The cabs are more transparent then anything I have ever played through. Like playing through a hifi. I rolled off the treble a bit and the high mids, upped the bass and rattled our insides for a bit. Whooo. So clear and defined. I am one very happy, empty walleted man. When I got the cabs and tried them out for the first time my kids got very excited. Then they went and watched TV. Minutes later they chorused "no more bass, Daddy". Had to put it all away. Management had spoken.

Drummers that don't drive? Bongo players?

Bass player. No such thing as a drumist.

Good vibes to the drums man. That is a truly sh*t place to be. Still, the only way is up. Another day above the grass is a good day.

Nice work on those basses.

Looking very good indeed.

I like the fact that they are all from Co. Cavan in rural Ireland.

I like them. Wish I had been in a band that good at their age. All bands are "styled" nowadays. I've seen a band who wore clothes chosen by a stylist and I was nonplussed. They didn't look as if they had been styled in any way, which, I suppose, was the point. Didn't rate their music though.

Jack- read that. Thanks. Took 5 mins to make speakon cable.

With a Y cable the amp will "see" 4ohms if using two 8 ohm cabs. Sorted. That's my plan with the MB200.

Discreet- times are hard, but I 'm not for a penny!;-p Japanaxe- bonkers small, had it up a bit loud last night through a full range PA cab...whoohoo! Some welly for one so small.

Two 12s. :-0

Thunderpaws, I had to ring and ask 'cos it sounded too good to be true. Which it was. Still, looking forward to hearing them.

Beer... I shall engage in a lot of testing! :-). Can't wait.

Nowt to it. Really. Couldn't find one, so needs must etc.

I shall be making a "Y" speakon cable to use both cabs.

8 ohm cabs, hence selling my ass on the street to pay for two. I did get 198. 02 for that though.....who gave me the 2p? Everybody. Badump-tish.

Aye......right beside the words "rigs".... I found it a bit misleading myself. Their site nav isn't so good neither. Very pleasant on the phone though.

Dupe post oops.
