If they sound anything as good as the DB/GS 112s/212s, we are in for some fun

Check out A Wilhelm Scream. Anyone can play very fast fingerstyle, it just takes some getting used to. Just keep trying faster and faster songs. Two fingers is fine.

Personally I would opt for either a MB LM3, F500, or TC RH450. You might have been better off with a 212 4 ohm IMO, but that's totally upto you

Having recently got a Shuttle 6.0 210T combo (after a Trace AH-500 with 4x10 and 1x15), I certainly don't find a lack in bottom end with a Gibson Thunderbird (yes, I know you don't like them on here..!). The difference seems to be that I don't need to be two streets away to hear it! My 2p for what it's worth [/quote] I think its the 'thickness' of tone. If you compare the Markbass LM2/3 and the GB Shuttle 6.0, and then even throw in the TC RH450, the Shuttle 6.0 does sound a little thin in comparison. To some that's fine, it depends on your tone goals.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' post='997352' date='Oct 22 2010, 05:56 PM']Does anyone else on this thread find Genz's mid scoop button a complete waste of time? The bass and treb buttons have their use, but the mid seems really ill-conceived/implemented, I find it just sucks the life from the tone and makes the whole level appear to drop. I like everything else about it. Anyone agree/disagree?[/quote] Personally I think all three of the shape filters are a waste of time. Much prefer the Markbass VLE and VPF.

To be fair, I've heard of users maxing the 9.0 s master volume AND having the gain setup correctly. From what I've heard, Genz wattage ratings aren't what we are used to. 900W in their world is about 600W in Markbass terms.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='997225' date='Oct 22 2010, 03:57 PM']Irrelevant observation - I was in town today, and I went into a guitar shop (an alien evironment for me). I saw an RS212 in the flesh for the first time. My God, it's huge. Err.. that's it. As you were.[/quote] Was it guitarguitar? Strangely, despite the width, I thought the cab was fairly compact, especially compared to my DB212! It is also a very nice weight for a ceramic loaded cab, I was suprised. For some people it would be overkill, as the RS210 would cover their gig.

Classic + RH450 - Same 'sound', upgrades if you want them on the RH450. Staccato - Different sound out of the box. MASSIVE low end! Still sounds like the same amp, but with different EQ points and a few other tweaks.

Strangely, the RS210 and RS212 match very nicely, and have been designed to mix with each other. Try one RS212 first, as that might be enough!

PTP....nice

The 9.0 doesnt just add more bottom, as obviously it adds more headroom, which along with the hi-pass filter adjustment (think thats the right way round) gives you a much larger sound apparently. I await to see what Genz release this NAMM. I have seen the two new Uber cabinets, and the Uber Quad (1x12, 2x8, Tweet 600W) looks awesome. If the release an amp with two mid controls, or with better control over those filters, ill be getting one. There are rumours about a new amp due this year!

EB Group III Flats!

[quote name='Phil-osopher10' post='995959' date='Oct 21 2010, 02:12 PM']The new David Nordschow Amp (DNA) cabs. THe DNS 112 is going for 699 dollars on bass central and the shipping is an extra 275. So I think it'll end up pretty expensive![/quote] Ah, Ive seen those reviews. Personally, id stick with a nice Berg 1x12 or Aguilar 1x12. Cheaper (as you wont have to pay import/postage), and very high quality. In fact, the GS112's by Aguilar are a great price.

Id leave it as it is, or buy a USA Fender set.

Just curious....they seem very rare!

Ill view these in terms of comfort: P Bass - Perfect for thumpy in the mix playing, or full on grindy rock n roll. The neck, to me, feels great. You can slap and pop on a P and it sounds like a P bass....which I personally think is pretty cool. J Bass - I still havent found the right J Bass for me. I sometimes think the neck is too cramped, due to the fact I learnt on P basses. Great for slap. I sometimes find a J bass gets lost in a rock mix, but thats just me and probably because im used to a P bass. Great tone. Stingray - The ultimate do it all bass IMO. Great neck, great tones, great feel. Superb slap tone, and very comfortable. They are viewed as one trick ponies (as are Ps) but WHAT a trick! Bongo - I want one, that is all! From the demos Ive heard, modern, clean, versatile, and pretty funky looking. If depends what slap tone you like. Personally, I think the slap tone on EBMMs is perfect...very little effort needed for a huge sound. Try as many as you can.

Clarky seems to be having dreams about gear in Off Topic! I hate waiting for couriers.

I almost took some the other day but got carried away playing!

One thing im confused about is the cab experts saying 'dont mix drivers' yet the BF site says you can mix the 12 with the 15....who is right?!

This has to be one of the best ideas for setting up an instrument. No tools needed, just something to fit into that hole in the wheel. The best part is that you having nothing to fight to do it quickly...eg no guards to remove, no screws etc. Literally loosen strings, adjust, tune back up. Done. I havent had to do it on my new EBMMs yet, but I know its going to save a lot of messing about.

I tend to leave it as factory standard now. I did tweak my USA P Bass though as it was TOO low...

I cant say anything because I think Bongos and Big Als look great, but thats not for me, sorry.
