For me it was cost. I knew i wouldn't be playing any large venues, we are a self contained function band. The Line6 has been more than stable enough. Ive now gone to the Boss only because its smaller and doesn't need a PSU so more convenient for me.

As i posted above, the standard WL-20 has a freq attenuation that is supposed to emulate a cable. I found it a bit too severe. Personally i prefer the full range version and knock the top end off on my amp if needed. Better to give the signal a fighting chance IMO.

One of the nice things about the Boss WL-20 system is there are 14 channels, so less chance of clashing with someone else. The system scans the area and finds the least congested channel. The downside is there is no way of setting this manually.

i used to get 3 gigs (2/12 max per gig) out of one charge, using Eneloop Pro's rechargeable with my G30.

Did you see my post about the cable tone? I couldnt beam any TC Electronics Tone Prints via my WL-20, although i can with the WL-20L that i replaced it with. I can also do this with a 30ft cable so my thoughts are there is a bit too much attenuation going on with the WL-20. i only used it for one rehearsal and i also felt the tones wasn't as bright as i was used to with my Xvive 2. .

Anyway, Foo fighters are on Sky Arts so I’m watching that now.

Christ oh mighty, really? Are you serious? Do I expect a band on TV to tailor their set for me lol. Ive been very complimentary about them, and ive said i never liked them in the past, so there is no ‘by the sound of it’, and ive posted WHY I don’t like this song. I guess you are one of those that jump in with insults without reading a thread. Now go away and leave me alone.

Nope, cant stand A Forest, where’s the remote? Thats me out. I have bad memories of having to play this in my first band, 15mins + version.

They have a lot of Roland Cubes on stage. Must remeber to point this out in the next ‘how many watts do i need to play the dog and duck?’ Lol . We are probably due one in the next 48 hours.

I think a good mix can really help people enjoy a band. Ive heard terrible mixes of bands I like and have stopped listening, whereas ive heard good mixes of bands i wouldn't give the time of day to (like the Cure) and really enjoyed it.

I felt the same about the Dammed until i saw them last year. Blew me away how heavy they are live. Best mix of the night (supporting the Darkenss and Hollywood Vampires).

Thats a blessing lol. A lot of my mates were in to them first time around, but i didnt get it. Now I’m ready to give them another listen.

Never liked the Cure, cant stand that whiny voice, but surprisingly enjoying this set. Bass player needs a lighter bass though. Poor bloke looks like his back has gone lol.

Yes, I looked at that when I was replacing my WL-20 but as you say, it’s quite expensive. As above, I had to get the first set changed to the WL-20L as the cable tone feature was stopping me beaming tone prints to my TC Electronics gear. Too much top end missing. The WL-20L works perfectly though.

Not the best of the best but i recently got one of these for my new Yamaha P34. More than good enough for me considering i normally use really cheap gig bags and have never had an issue. i had a Mono bag (cant remember which one, not the Vertigo though) and found it woefully lacking in pocket space.

1210R, probably the same as yours.

I had an early one, i got it direct from Jorg before he had uk distribution. Fantastic cab, but compared to my 1212L it weighed a ton. Quite a noticeable difference weight wise.

I find my RS212 sounds better when im not standing too close to it. Try moving further away. I also tend to drive mine harder when im standing close to it, but on the recordings i do of the rehearsals its very loud and clear.

Oooh nice. I'll listen out for it lol.

Back then i too was only gigging with a vocal PA, so had to supply the full bass experience from the rig at the back of the stage. I was mainly using Markbass heads, SA450, LMII, F1, but also dabbled with a GK 1001RBII, Ashdown ABM300 and Streamliner 600. I also had other cabs but always went back to the 1212L or 1012R. I still have the F1 and still use it, but it just didn't/doesn't seem to gel as well with other cabs for me. Also flitted between P and Jazz mostly, although i also owned other basses. I loved the tone out front, very full, and although not sparkly, still quite clear. On stage I always felt i was too loud, but the band loved that they could hear me (drummer used to say its lucky as I’m the only one that knows a the songs:-) my current cab is a RS212. Lovey tone close up but ive yet to gig it. I doubt it will be room filling like the 1212L though. Bugger, getting 1212L GAS now lol.

Must admit i felt the same abut my 1212L on and off during the time i had it, but since getting rid of it i miss that tone. I went from that to a BF Retro 210, and then the BB2. Neither had the kick 1212L had. Maybe thats why i never got on with them, although neither sounded that great out front in a band mix (to my ears)

No problem with that at all. Why do you think there is a problem with it? Saying that, why moan about it costing you money if you chose to mod it and not live with it? That was your choice wasn’t it?

There is a 54+ page thread on Talkbass about these as well.

If it was faulty why didnt you get it swapped over or just get new springs? Never had any issues with my Gen1 V7 and ive had it since they first came out. Never spent a penny on it other than strings.

Have you looked on here for threads about these? They have been talked about already i believe.
