King Tut

I tried to get a replacement driver for my Eden 1x12 cab from G4M recently. I’ve got a feeling they’ve just bought up all the old stock and selling it off - could be wrong though.

I’ve got a pair of BB2’s but I’ve only had the chance to gig them singly. I’d say one of them would be ample. I recently picked up a Schroeder 1212L. It’s a small 2 x 12 with tweeter and one of the drivers is angled at 45 degrees to save space. It’s almost as small as a BB2 and only marginally heavier. I got mine SH as part of a deal but equivalent to £150. I got to say I’m blown away by it. I used it when we played at A New Day Festival and honestly preferred it to the Ampeg 8x10 I used the following night. It’s got a low mid hump baked in so it doesn’t sound great in isolation, but in a band mix it really cuts through. I’ll be using my BB2’s on Friday week at a local theatre gig, not cos I need to, just because I can, but I can honestly see me moving the BF stuff on in the future as I’m loving this Schroeder so much!. If you could find one of these schroeders for a similar price you’d be laughing!

I had one of these, I found the eq really versatile. Nice little amps!

Played a local pub last night depping with a covers band I used to play regularly in. Used my AVRI Jazz with QPs through my Veyron tube into my Schroeder 1212L. I’ve been experimenting using different mid frequency centres on the Veyron and finding that using the lowest (220 hz I think) cuts me through the mix the best. Bass dialled right back, plenty of mid and top to taste and I had a corking tone. We had a good crowd and played and went down well, and home by 1140pm Happy Daze!

Very!

How are you getting on with this? Do you mind if I ask what the weight is like?

Loving the orange V3. Also glad to see they've changed the V3 to a 9.5" radius fingerboard. It's looking like the V9 has been discontinued - hopefully that'll make mine become collectible 🤩🤩

Love the cloud finish on that body!

They’re versatile amps and yes, easy to fix for an amp tech. I’ve had a few Trace heads and they’ve all been much louder than their wattage would suggest. I’ve heard good things about those slotted cabs too and it looks in lovely condition!

No i remember now - I think it was a blues festival in Devon or Cornwall, we were playing as 'Del Bromham's Blues Devils'.

And your 'Big Rig' is?!!

I’m sure we (stray) we’re on the same bill as you somewhere not so long ago. You were the main act. Can’t for the life of me think where!

Or - yes, it may be a duff string. It happens.

So is this the first generation ABM? An EVOi so to speak?

Yes - Stu is now living in Spain. We played with MT's Wishone Ash last year and I met Martin - Nice Guy!
