[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1054210' date='Dec 10 2010, 04:21 PM']I keep thinking that something that weighed next to nothing like the Barefaced or many of the Neo cabs, would be worth the sacrifice in tone (just my opinion but I've yet to be blown away by the tone of Neo cabs regardless of whether it is cab design or the driver) but whenever I A/B Neo/DB cabs the DBs just suit me better! [/quote] Massive agreement! Not sure if it's the designs or the speakers, but even an email to Jim Bergantino reassured me that it's not just my tastes...hence why he has such a large range if ceramic cabinets. I don't know what it is, but I always hear extra high mids with neo cabs I've tried.

[quote name='Alec' post='1052798' date='Dec 9 2010, 02:24 PM']Ah, so they are! Only bought mine in the summer. Haven't had carpet covered cabs before (it replaced an 80s Trace 1210), and not really sure which I prefer. That said, I've seen vinyl start to tear, and carpet seems a bit more robust, even if it collects bits. And really can't decide if I prefer one grille over the other. They do sound cracking, mind... Anyone who fancies a play with mine, along with my RH450, in the Herts area is most welcome to pop over![/quote] Plus 1! Vinyl looks great, but carpet is VERY strong and looks new for longer if you look after it.

An interesting summary Interesting collection! I hope you got some compensation for the amp problems !

The Wal....thats my favourite! Lovely.

P - Feels great, sounds great, looks great. J - Looks great, quite versatile, not as keen on the neck but Id still like to find one I get on with.

[quote name='silddx' post='1051487' date='Dec 8 2010, 11:22 AM']Now she is quite famous and in the papers and the magazines, it seems people think it's acceptable for them to say unkind things about her. So bloody British, eh? God help us if any BCers make the big time.[/quote] Its IS British, I agree. My opinion on the cover? I dont like Elton John's music, and I never will. Something about it that just doesn't work for me. But thats fine, because I accept he is an incredibly talented artist! I prefer Ellie's originals, but we can't like everything by every artist. Even my guitarist who absolutely loves much heavier and faster music thinks Ellie's album is great.

I think Ellie has done extremely well. I am not a fan of usual pop, but she does put a different slant on it, and its clear she is a good musician and vocalist. Id quite happily play pop, and I think anyone who wouldnt if its their actual career (eg payment for enjoying yourself!) is probably jealous of her position. I think we should all be polite and respect the fact her brother is a fellow bassist. IMO, she is nothing like the X-Factor contestants.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1052329' date='Dec 9 2010, 02:13 AM']Got a review " I know what you're thinking - that bloke in the picture doesn't look much like either of The Plan's vocalists, Tom Crabb or Andrew Keech. That's because neither of them were actually present, for some reason or another. So rather than bail altogether, bassist Wayne Tully and drummer Ben Gower hastily recruited Captain Bastard and the Scallywags' resident mandolin player Jordan Harris (pictured) as makeshift frontman, renamed themselves Mexican Wave (6.5/10), and proceeded to belt out a set of various Nirvana and Green Day covers with varying degrees of success. Of course, mistakes and technical sloppiness in these circumstances are about as inevitable as the sun rising in the morning and politicians lying to save face, so we wound up hearing the same verse to 'Longview' repeated 3 times (in fact, most bands have a problem with that song - Dr Goon brutally buttf***ed it, and even The Submission struggled with the lyrics), and 'When I Come Around' clunked badly at times, but all things considered, the group actually did pretty well. Wayne's slick bass playing and Ben's driving beats formed a strong backbone when they fire together, just as they do on a regular basis with The Plan, while Harris brought an energetic delivery and barked vocals to the party. The Nirvana covers in particular went down very well, and as they ended on another Green Day cover, the criminally underrated 'Burnout', there was a sense that the trio might have stumbled on a combination that has potential to work if it's actually formed into a proper band. It'll be interesting to see if they decide to progress with the idea."[/quote] I say roll with it and form a 'full on' band with them

[quote name='Count Bassy' post='1051771' date='Dec 8 2010, 03:14 PM']As I want to maximise my chances of getting into a band again I'd welcome any feed back on what I've put up as my advert, which follows. Please don't hold back. If I've made any howlers I'd rather know! I await your comments with interests.[/quote] Nice friendly advert

Great news

[quote name='Slipperydick' post='1051362' date='Dec 8 2010, 09:29 AM']Trouble with the interweb is, being free there are a lot of time wasters.[/quote] +1, or people who cant actual play a thing, or sing.

I think it was a BAD move, considering the prices seem to RISE over here. Now you have to pay silly premiums for the USA made Ampeg gear. Absolutely ridiculous, and one of the reasons I went with Orange.

I tend to find I get responses from 15 year olds who like Paramore. Now dont get me wrong, we all have to start somewhere, but Ive never met anyone in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties through those sites, which is a shame.

I still think meeting people by chance or through friends is the best way. All of the 'join' sites have been a waste of time for me unfortunately.

[quote name='MikanHannille' post='1050631' date='Dec 7 2010, 03:30 PM'] there's mine[/quote] Nice, great matching headstock I need to get a few photos of mine once Ive sorted out my housing situation.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1050627' date='Dec 7 2010, 03:26 PM']These ones? [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/fosters"]http://www.youtube.com/user/fosters[/url] They're not teasers as far as I'm aware - they're stand-alone mini episodes, I think.[/quote] Oww heck, I was told they are potentially leads to a new series. Who knows...

Have you seen the teasers for the next series?!

[quote name='JMT3781' post='1050504' date='Dec 7 2010, 01:40 PM']i miss my neox 212t [/quote] Ive heard good things about these cabinets....I like the vertical array. They look a little more modern with the new grille and vinyl.

[quote name='JTUK' post='1050385' date='Dec 7 2010, 12:03 PM']So, the trade is watts against weight..?? Hopefully, that will free up a few DB112's around here [/quote] I think thats the idea with them. Smaller, lighter package, for those who dont want to carry 40lbs ish. For me? Im happy with the DB weight anyway, its not huge. I can imagine Aguilar have done a great job on these new cabinets.

[quote name='Alec' post='1050356' date='Dec 7 2010, 11:39 AM']Er, no, the NEOX 212T is carpet covered.[/quote] Err, yep, sorry mate, it is! When I say new I mean the 'latest' versions - [url="http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=whatsnew"]http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=whatsnew[/url] Or - [url="http://genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=1436&sid=426&cid=96#"]http://genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=143...426&cid=96#[/url] They arent in this country yet, but that has made me like the 'look' of them even more.
