Names and logos aren't anything, but I really think the BF ones could do with a change. All IMO of course.

[quote name='JayGarrett' post='687661' date='Dec 17 2009, 07:41 PM']Heya! I've only had a quick play around to make sure all's working as it should and I'm a very happy bunny. I'm just restringing my main gig bass and then will start playing with the multitude of settings to get my perfect sound. The Tube Tone is really nice to use and all-in-all the fact that I can put the RS210 on the little luggage trolley and slip the amp and pedal in the carry bag I think this may prove to be one of my best buys for a long time [attachment=38482:New_rig_...t_to_old.jpg][/quote] What's the cab like?

Good amp!

[quote name='krispn' post='687793' date='Dec 17 2009, 09:54 PM']Hi there To describe the sound can be a mine field but .......as a Lakland Forum poster described it when someone asked what pick up was in his Skyline 08 BG? "If its the fattest sounding p/u you've ever hear its the Lakland p/u!" This is my Minkster with a lovely tort dress on. Ain't she purdy! What I'll say about the tone is that this bass sounds great through the range of the tone and volume knobs. It responds well and you can hear the difference i.e. if you have the tone and volume opened up on full and use a pick (with my preferred amp setting) I get a really nice edge to the tone - great for emulating that ampeg tone. Rolling back the tone knob and the volume slightly and playing with fingers yields a thicker, fatter tone. I basically set my preamp one way for the gig and adjust my playing style and the controls on the bass to get different sounds. It is very rewarding. The neck is great and the spacing is good for me. If you get the chance play one of these basses![/quote] That sunburst is very very nice.

Best string suppliers....end of. Fast, match prices, nice chaps to deal with.

[quote name='JayGarrett' post='687657' date='Dec 17 2009, 07:36 PM']Well - I for one am happy with the RH450 [attachment=38480:New_rig_...t_to_old.jpg] It's gonna be a darned site easier to get in a cab or on the tube - yes, that is a fold-up luggage trolley between the TC rig and the Hartke - I am now fully mobile in a carbon friendly way![/quote] I like it! A lot. I picking my amp up this weekend and testing the cabs.

[quote name='Toasted' post='686424' date='Dec 16 2009, 03:42 PM']I bet you could buy Musicman20's Bergantino HS410 for around £825. They even use screws to attach the grill - hard to believe but true![/quote] +1 I think even a new HS410 is around 929 with a cover, but yep if I was gonna sell rob would get it cheaper and have the best 4x10 ever! Covers all ground, awesome build quality, sensitive, loud, clear. It's heavy but really skinny and have 0 problems. Casters make it easy!

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='686507' date='Dec 16 2009, 04:49 PM']I'm experienced enough to hear when a cab is going to cut it at a gig or not. No tops in non gig environment = no top at the gig. No note definition in a non gig environment = no note definition at the gig. Running a TD650 at 11 o'clock and the cab is not keeping up with a 2x10 = problems at a gig. Sometimes, you don't need to gig an item to know how its going to perform. Common sense prevails... but then again, I do spend my life gigging and been through a lot of gear to know how things perform.[/quote] I agree, if something doesn't sound right in any environment, including at home, I wouldn't bother.

Evem though I'm not on finnbass I'm aware of this thread. The bass world is small!

I definitely think it's materials as well. I bet the Mesa is really chunky and well built I have one neo cab, and it's impressed me a hell of a lot whereas others did not. That said, I still love ceramics.

Berg /Aguilar don't tend up get heavy criticism. Strangely as much as I like tolex, I don't mind the carpet covering on the HS cabs. it's very smooth and neat.

Unfortunately this whole forum does carry fads, with all different types of equipment. All it takes is 8-10 peole stating it's amazing, then all of a sudden people want it. Then, if you try to sell a small brand elsewhere, it grabs 0 attention. Happens on tbass too. I've tested certain amps that were raved about by the endorsers and I was shocked how much I didn't like it. Everyone is different and ages with different bands, so tone goals are different, eg the covers guys who are a little more mature might insist on lightweight. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not for everyone.

1x Aguilar DB112, plus amp of your choice. I like MB LM 3 or TC RH450. All in combo? Gotta be Mesa Walkabout 112

[quote name='Toasted' post='685414' date='Dec 15 2009, 04:58 PM']With respect Phaedrus - there's so many guys do the polar opposite with regard to these cabs, it's almost refreshing to hear a dissenting voice.[/quote] I have to +1 you there

Rob I'm a big AWS fan and he uses 10s with a stingray and tube amp. Loads of his tone is oh his ultra aggressive finger style, and bass, but, and no disrespect to anyone, for that classic punk punch you should go for 10s or 12s, IMO they do sound different to me. I've been playing punk for 14 years plus, and I like my orange 1x15, but you need some 10s in there! I await to be told I'm wrong, but that's life!

Very popular thread! I hope you get it sorted Rob. My thoughts are that you might be better suited to another cabinet.

[quote name='JayGarrett' post='683213' date='Dec 13 2009, 06:50 PM']I've received my RS210 and Bonners have sent me a Peavy Pro500 as a temp amp for my gigs whilst we wait for TC to ship my RH450. This gave me a great chance to try the TC in comparison with my Hartke 1x15 and 4x10 that's being sold today. I for one love the look of the RS210 - yeah the finish is odd and the Peavy flightcase did leave some marks which just brushed off. I have got the cab cover and the carry bag for the pedal and amp (when it arrives). I love the sound of the RS210's punch and clarity and with the HF dial I'm sure that when the RH450 arrives I'll be sounding like I've wanted to for quite a while The RS210 does loose some bottom compared with the 4x10 and 1x15 (no $h!t Sherlock) but I tend to have a more low mid than purely low sound anyhow and I'm sure once my bank account is happy enough for me to get the RS212 I'll have pretty much a perfect rig with a small footprint. I've more bass is required the PA will sort that out I'm sure.[/quote] Sounds excellent! Let us know how it all goes!

[quote name='Phaedrus' post='683404' date='Dec 13 2009, 09:11 PM']Did I miss something earlier in the thread? GG aren't even listing the L410 today, let alone at £400. Mark[/quote] it was only very limited stock and now I don't think gg will be stocking it.

I had a test of them. For the size, very punchy!

Sometimes, you need traditional cabs!

The 1000 will be mental!

Hi guys! In the end I went for the LM3. I loved how warm the response was. I've not tried a shuttlemax, but I've recently tried a Shuttle 9 and it was not for me. After hearing the Orange tube sound I suppose it made me realise I like amps with full tubes, or non at all! I've now also opted for the RH450, from TC Elec. The tube tone on that is fantastic considering there are no tubes! I don't think the LMTube sounded much different to the one without really, but it looks cool and has some decent features!
