All of these designs are Fearful spec so therefore fully tested...or so I'm told.

I have the RH750 with two RS210s. Absolutely love this setup. By the way, you get speakons with each cabinet in the box!

Personally for me, the idea of a well designed 15 with 6 and Tweeter gives you everything you'd need, plus I'm guessing you can have customised tolex/corners/front cloth etc, which appeals to me.

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1349699258' post='1829199'] Wow, that's pretty cool! I personally like the changes, I much prefer a simpler EQ section. The limiter would be cool too, as I do occasionally over power the front section and have had the speaker fart out a bit on those "how loud does this thing really go" moments... I just don't understand why they didn't make a 12" version I don't think the head is removable anymore, and the tilt back stand looks like it might be missing too. These are both pretty major selling points, I think the fact that they aren't mentioned means they aren't there... Eude [/quote] They should have made a 12 inch cab version with a variables tweeter and the same 500 w head with a few tweaks. I'd pay good money for that!

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1349699331' post='1829202'] I couldn't see the prices for the finished cabs... [/quote] Me neither. I've sent an email.

Hi I am settling into a new job, and now I can see that I HAVE to be in a band despite how busy my career is. I am currently practicing with a few friends, but nothing will come of that for some time as we are all based in different areas. So, I'm looking for something based in Newcastle/close surrounding areas. Originals/covers, not really fussed. Open to ideas. Not fussed about age range. PM me on here for details.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1349610098' post='1828187'] Just a general point, since upon touched on it... Too much bass/bottom end sucks the life out of any tone, IMO A case in point..and maybe to an extreme, would be dub-bass or sub so I'd suggest you want a cab that can get those low B's sounding powerful and punchy...but defined so you don't need an inherently bass-orientated cab, IMO. [/quote] Agreed. I'm much more in favour of a very tight defined low B. The wall shaking lows can go out the PA....I don't want it behind me.

Hi all My fingerstyle has developed a lot over the past 2-3 years. I was primarily a rock pick player for 13-14 years, then I figured 'heck, I need to play fingerstyle', so I did....it just naturally worked out after 3-4 months of leaving the pick alone. Flea is one of the reasons I love bass guitar so much. I love his tone, no matter what bass he uses. He came from a very similar playing background to me, eg playing fast punk. The Chili's are a great band, and at the moment I'm trying to get used to playing as fast as he does. Can you recommend anything for getting that really aggressive fingerstyle that he pulls off? Is it just sheer practice at Chili type songs? I'm getting there...some of them are easier than I thought. By The Way sounds awesome played along with the recording.

Well, originally I wasn't going to try this route, but now I've read into it a little more, I might be interested in one of these. Especially in a custom finish.

Me thinks this might go down quite well over here...

I've never understood why a company would offer one but not the other?! It needs both blocks and binding.

If you have no need for the money, I'd keep them.

Sea Foam Green.

Glad you got the drivers sorted out Duke... Me thinks you need a distributor in the UK for your cabinets!

Oh my god! A Strung Out signature bass! I can't believe they have been noticed by a major company. I grew up listening to this band....saw them live about 15 years ago and I still rate them. Very very fast and technical stuff.

Cool!

I play in a new originals band, but its going slowly (which is fine as I'm busy). I do have more time to brush up on learning new songs at home...which I actually really enjoy. It gives me time to get to know my equipment, and hear my technique problems....which then leads me to trying to resolve them.

White. Every time.

A pickup upgrade wouldn't be a bad idea...depends what you are after. I think most P bass pups sound VERY similar once you get to a certain level.

I'd stick with it how it is...personally those BA bridges look awful! Keep it classic. Again, a pre-amp pedal might be nice. If you want more mids, the Aguilar Tonehammer will help. The Sadowsky pre-amp is nice but to my knowledge it has no mid control, same with the Sansamp BDDI.

The Streamliner isn't muddy if you use a fairly balanced non-bass heavy cabinet, and drop the bass a bit. I'd suggest a Shuttlemax 9.2 which I personally consider to be one of the best amps out at the moment. Its the 9.0 plus a lot more. It also allows you to drive the pre tube quite a lot on the Tube channel, and the Fet channel is ULTRA clean.

Agreed with the above. Find a good one and you will be VERY happy.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1349210234' post='1823449'] if you want lots of power in the low end a jazz cant compete with a SR 5 HS, i totally dig those basses... but i think for an awsome slap tone and great articulation a 75 in particular has it hands down... nothing like a jazz bass with 70's spacing... just my opinion of course [/quote] Oh no I agree. Its unfair to judge passive Jazz to a Ray 5 HS when we are talking about sheer power etc, but I was referring more to the actual quality and richness of tone that the Ray prduces. I wouldn't mind a 70s position pup Jazz but I wouldn't want to pay the current prices for a 75 Fender J Reissue. A Sadowsky in that format would be nice, but again I don't think Sadowsky has the grunt and edge that the original Fender sound does.
