They seem a bit tighter in the low end.[/quote] just to add to the Schroeder thread.... took delivery of my 1212L the day of a 'barn dance' gig..... actually a 'dance in a barn'.. was told the barn was 40 x 110 *FEET* so thought it would be a good tryout for the 1212L on its own (only taking vocal PA) - knowing that Jorg had said they need some 'running in' get there.... hmmmm... more like 40 x 100 *YARDS* ! - well not quite - but you get the picture there was help from the 'stage' - planks on scaffolding but have to say i was well impressed with how it coped - you couldn't even see it from the back of the 'barn' but reliable folks checked it out for me and were surprised how it covered front to back.... used it in small bars since and lovin'it! roger

[quote name='Huge Hands' post='202001' date='May 19 2008, 11:27 AM']Welcome. If your precision was second hand in '63 (i.e. older than that), I'd have said you'll be very popular around here![/quote] thanks for the welcome and... yes... its a '62 - naturally relic'd ! - several times over -- but its there to be played and not hung on the wall! roger

hello chaps / chapesses..... please forgive any breaches of ettiquette or plain stupidity on behalf of a newcomer to the forum - have been lurking for a while and am just getting round to registering! me? - bit of a geriatric punk i guess - been playing for a while - lets just say i bought my precision second-hand in '63 (ought to be a bit better by now i guess!) - main band is a pub / club covers band playing songs folks can hum along to but musical interests are varied - most of my albums are compilations! gear? - a miscellany of basses - precision, 4001, roadstar, bass collection (very under-rated in my view), SQ Squier, Peavey midi, nomad etc etc... needs thinning out ( have some on ebay as we speak) - played through Flite cabs - imported from US - the first of the really light & portable bass cabs but looking at Schroeder! gig mainly in and around the Poole / Bournemouth area these days but do have hazy recollections of Hamburg in the 60's! and like others on the list i have a passion for windsurfing & biking really looking forward to learning from the collective wisdom of you all and maybe contributing here and there if i can keep up with the low notes! -roger-
