  1. My experience with BF big baby t and Big Baby 2 compared to my GR 210 and 112 is that the bottom end is bigger on the BF's. I don't have my BF's any more to do a side by side comparison, but I was always fighting a bit of boom with the BF's. That's why I bought a pair of BF one10s, and they were much better for me, although had to boost top a bit to compensate for lack of tweeters. At the end of the day I was left looking for more volume on occasions, I was pushing the one10s as far as I could without breakup. 

    I bought the GR at210 to add to the BF one10s, but the GR 210 was much louder than the 2 one10s and didn't pair too well. So the one10s went and I got the GR at112h instead. I think the BB2 was more FRFR than the GR cabs....although I've still to gig the GRs, only played in the house so far. I like the tighter sound from the GRs. I would be interested to try the GR at110s that are now out....had they been out when I bought the at112, I may have gone for a pair of these instead, to go with the at210.

  2. This from Alex on Talkbass:

    "A port has one tuning frequency and the effect is very much like moving the lowest slider on a 12 band graphic EQ up by a fair few dB.

    The hybrid resonator has two tuning frequencies, one lower than a typical port tuning frequency, one higher. Its effect is more like turning up the bass knob on a 3 band EQ by about two dB."

     
  3. I used BF cabs for 10 years, had 6 of them, great cabs. My final pair was 2xone10's. I tried the GRBass aerotec 2x10 and it handles more power and goes louder then the 2xOne10's. BF farts out sooner on low B. I have since bought 2 GR bass cabs, a 210 and 112. Very happy so far. You should certainly try out these cabs, they also do a 2x8...now at Bass Direct

  4. Even the Mesa d800 fan is noticable at home....don't hear it on a gig. I've just bought a Baby Sumo (no fan) to use at home and as a backup. Feeding it with a D800+DI. I'm impressed so far, doesn't get hot in home use at least.

  5. I've just received a sumo 600. I run a Mesa d800+ pre into it. Only house use so far, but seems plenty loud. I usually feed the Mesa d800+ pre into my Mesa d800. The sumo is a backup, but nice for house use as no fan noise. I run two 4 ohm cabs when required (very few gigs), so the Mesa d800@2ohms is fine for that. Most gigs are just one cab, so the Sumo covers these. Impressed so far.😂

  6. For sale, no trades please, GK MB800, mostly used as my backup, so it's in great condition. The only marks I can see are tiny on top panel, you have to look close to see them. Comes with original box and instructions. Also the GK footswitch, that I've never used. You need a guitar lead for this( not supplied).IMG_20201101_112924.thumb.jpg.b543ad00c81e5112bdb5cee3636edd2a.jpg

    I used to think that.

    Then I got a 34 scale Marleaux and the low B was better than anything longer I'd ever played / owned. Even the 37 inch stuff.

    Zon Hyperbass was similarly amazing in lower tunings.

     

    And the little Ibby 32 scale has a better low B than any Stingray 5 I've owned, and I've had a few.

    I'm of the view that construction is more important than scale length.

    +1, I've had 32",34",35" and 36". Scale length was not the thing that gave me the best low B. I'm back to 3 x 34" basses now, Sadowsky and Xotic. I think neck rigidity possibly has more to do with it.

    Played the ag700 too, liked it best compaired to the TH amps, but I also use my amp at home and those fans were freaking noisy. Otherwise great sounding amp.

    Leaning towards the D800+. 

    Andy, one of the engineers of tthe Mesa 800 amps told me that the D800+ is a bit clearer and less dark sounding than the D800, that and the extra options makes me even more curious to give that amp a try.

    I have a D800 which is great, but I wanted more bright lively sound, so I bought a D800+ di pedal. It goes into the d800 aux in and is effectivly a d800+. Gives me a choice of both worlds and at the time of buying the d800+di it worked out cheaper than selling the d800 and buying a new d800+ amp. I think these amps have a great "feel".

    I pulled the trigger on two GRBass miniONE 350w heads to drive two AeroTech 112H (4ohm) cabinets.

    I’m very excited to A/B/C it with my Trickfish and Eich equipment.

    Look forward hearing how you get on. Our AT 112's may arrive in the same batch, if it's Bass Direct they are coming from.

    Been looking at the specs.

    The 2x12 would weigh less than my pair of BF One10. 

    What do they sound like? Are they a bit vintage like the One10 or more modern?

     

    ta

     

    The 2x10 sounds more modern than 2 x one10s. Cleaner too. I'm going to add an Aerotec 112h to my 2x10
