How Much? -
[quote name='guybrush threepwood' post='686126' date='Dec 16 2009, 10:30 AM']That's quite a rig mate. And it's lovely to see my old Corvette in front of it. You still enjoying it?[/quote] Yeah, quite a heavy rig Heavy bass too...also that 2x10 Eden cab seems just as heavy as the 6x10-its quality though. This set up finally shifts the air i was looking for. I used to have a Warwick 6x10 cab and our drummer always said it sounded better than my Markbass rig that i had...i was so reluctant to accept this as i could carry the Markbass in two hands (A MB Berlin combo and MB 15" ext cab), but in the back of my mind i always felt something was missing. Now although i semi like the Markbass sound i could just not feel the air or earthy vibes.....so i thought perhaps it is because i am using 2x15" speakers (not my usual choice) so then i tried the head off the Berlin through an Ampeg fridge 8x10.....sounded good but then i compared the MB to the WT series Eden...well Eden is in a different league IMO (especially for reggae), but the MB was nice. So it was off with the Mark bass stuff and in with heavyweight new cabs again... and this is what i ended up with. Its great as i have the versatility of using just the 2x10 for smaller gigs too....those Eden XLT 2x10s can handle some whack for sure...seen. As for the Warwick vette, its weird, i didn't want to become too attached at all, it was supposed to be bass number 3, one for the living room etc - and that's probably where the affair begun-we did it on the sofa :brow: - Soooo i cheated on my 79Ray & P bass and haven't looked back .....the vette is just so easy to play and the eq is great, i can go from a thick warm dub tone to a clickerty clank ska bass just via the eq alone...i was never able to do that before. In fact i was more of a passive bass geeza generally but i really like the eq control of the upgraded EMG pre amp & EMG PU's......most impressed indeed. And although not particularly competent at funky slappy slop stuff...well i can get a half decent groove going on it-at least enough to twitch my funk gland anyway :ph34r: . Interestingly I played another Corvette recently to compare and it was pants compared to this one...real chunky neck too...weird. Jus waiting on the delivery of the Eden WT550....Mansons are a bit slow...or Eden are i think.

[quote name='Clarky' post='682542' date='Dec 12 2009, 09:11 PM']Hey Rasta, I presume you are about 7 foot tall in order that you can adjust the amp settings [/quote] It's about eye level, 5ft 11...but yeah pretty cool [quote name='Rayman' post='683015' date='Dec 13 2009, 02:24 PM']You can keep yer blinkin 1x8 super lightweight whatever mini cabs.......... nowt moves air better than a couple of ruddy great back breaking wardrobes the size of a small car with 1x15s in 'em.[/quote] +1 (Jus prefer 10"'s over 15"'s)

Well having done the Markbass thang for the last 12 months I found there was something just not there in my reggae sound from the days I reminisced of a past Warwick air shifting 6x10 that i had previously owned......so to the detriment of my fellow band mates backs (mine too)...I'm back on the heavyweights with my new rig below....they just sound different to neo's to me, so heavy for a reason me thinks? Perhaps for heavy for dubbing belly pumping bass vibrations. The Eden WT800A is soon to be replaced by a new WT550 that i have on order from Mansons. Sadly the WT800A has proved unreliable in the past but typically I've not had a single fault with it since having recently ordered the WT550

Bump before d'bay -
Well my mate controlled it using the cut off and resonance....some good Vibronics type sounds (Trippy bass, almost dancey wobble style) good flanger too and quite a few other effects too but alas i only tried it out for about an hour, just don't have the time to be honest so would prefer to see it get some use...you interested before the evilbay?

Both Rich & I travelled from both ends of the country to meet in the middle for a coffee and a trade of bass cabs.....Rich is a top chappy and buyers / sellers can deal in total confidence. Thanks Rich and nice to meet you. Lee

Do they work from Apple Macs? -
Never used really as my DJ'ing career never got started due to much real bass playing. Sadly i don't have the original box either but its in excellent condition, with orignal PSU...as i say hardly used-great FX processor! Some blurb off the net: [i]Don't be fooled by its cutesy looks: the Behringer TWEAKALIZER DFX69 is an extremely powerful desktop DJ effects processor with real-time control. Behind its super-intuitive user interface is the power to simultaneously control 6 functions, an incredible real-time scratch function and a super-fast and accurate auto-BPM counter. For example, you can adjust track speed using the virtually inaudible Pitch Transposer, and you also get a breathtaking LFO-controlled effects section including delay & flanger and awesome filter effects with 3 filter types (low, high and band pass), 3 filter modes (auto, manual, LFO) and separate resonance control. There is a groove- and BPM-related loop sampler with up to 16 seconds of memory as well as an ultra-steep 3-band kill EQ (-40 dB) with separate cut buttons per band. A switchable phono/line input with built-in high-precision phono preamplifier lets you connect turntables and CD players, and a signal/effect balance and input gain control provide top flexibility. Ultra high-resolution 24-bit A/D and D/A converters and a high-performance 24/48-bit DSP provide ultimate in sonic resolution. If you’re looking for a straightforward way to tweak your sound, we've got an amazing machine for you. Features: # Desktop DJ effects machine with 6 simultaneous functions and super-intuitive user interface # Incredible real-time scratch function for any input signal # Super-fast and accurate BPM counter # Virtually inaudible Pitch transposer to correct track speed adjustments # Breathtaking LFO-controlled effects section including Delay and Flanger # Awesome filter effects with 3 filter types (Low, High and Band pass), 3 filter modes (Auto, Manual, LFO) and separate Resonance control # Groove- and BPM-related Loop sampler with up to 16 s of memory # Ultra-steep 3-band kill EQ (-40 dB) with separate Cut buttons per band # Switchable Phono/Line input with built-in high-precision phono preamplifier for connecting turntables and CD sources # Flexible signal/effect balance and input gain control # Ultimate sonic resolution with ultra-high resolution 24-bit A/D and D/A converters and high-performance 24/48-bit DSP # Gold-plated RCA connectors for highest signal integrity # High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life [/i] £30 + P&P = bargain!

Top guy to deal with, thanks for being patient with our new arrival-all the best, RastaLee

Do both and find a dep to cover you for gigs you cannot do, someone who does not want to commit, maybe hard at first but its achievable.....that's what i do anyhow.

[quote name='waylander' post='672994' date='Dec 3 2009, 11:30 AM']nearly moved to plymouth couple months ago but decided against it lol[/quote] Well done for managing to escape that, it generally sucks in Plymouth although I feel compelled to work here as a purveyor of social justice for janners. Musically, i think Plymouth depends what genre your into i guess but i have found it be a much better avant-garde music scene in Exeter...more to my tastes. Av fun

[quote name='Bay Splayer' post='671335' date='Dec 1 2009, 05:33 PM']interested in the 1x15........£?? would you be willing to send if i paid cost if so, let me know the weight and i will get quote ta[/quote] I'll see if the other guy is interested in the pair if not i'll get back to you because i don't mind keeping the 4x10 as it sounded really good when I tried it out the other night and I already have a Fender Pro 15" cab.

To Munkonthehill: Yeah i reckon so, Interparcel do heavy stuff...my only concerns would be the cost. I recently bought a heavy Trace 4x12 of a B/chatter and i think he paid around £60 ish for postage. I reckon we'd be looking at about £70-80 total for both of these (around £30-£40 each).....I'd be happy to go halves on the final cost of postage?. Also I must let you know that one of the drivers in the 4x10 has been recently replaced with another as the original bottom left speaker was making a buzz. The single speaker now fitted is a 16ohm rather than the original 8ohm that had gone down. However on checking the resistance of the speaker my mate was was getting about 11 ohms so he said it would be fine to use, same wattage etc too. It does look cosmetically different having a slightly smaller inner dome, but not that noticeable with the grill on. I have checked the cab out and it sounds really sweet as it did originally, i have ran it hard briefly to ensure the other drivers are good and they performed faultlessly, even with my heavy bass pounding dub sounds-in fact i was very impressed with it, nice warm funk / rock sounds too. Ashdown have said an original replacement would be £25+VAT if you wanted it look totally original again but i am happy with the speaker that is in it. I have attached a picture for you too see. (Bottom left) PM me if you want to go ahead and we can work something out.
