Is it polyphonic? And can you use it without a powered pedal? (needing the distortion kind of defeats the object of a purely passive device)

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='624066' date='Oct 12 2009, 03:27 PM']Do you think so? I would expect him to get much better results if he transplanted the speakers into a cabinet that was designed specifically for them. S.P.[/quote] The speakers in question match quite nicely with the ABM cabs, maybe need a little tweak on the tuning but otherwise cool.

(And no: the lead between your bass and the first effect doesn't count, nor does the one that goes to your amp.)[/quote] Why not? It's the same stuff only longer... The Van Damme cable is pretty good.

Fair play if they can make the cab faster, cheaper and get the same results at the end it doesn't make sense for them to mass produce them with thinner wood- it would just end in a thread on here titled "why are cabs so expensive"

Gone init

1) String changes, cleaning, set up. If necessary rewiring, rebuilding, part replacement. 2) Easiest to be able to do jobs at any angle- Setups vertical to be able to bend the neck to tighten the truss rod, horizontal to clean, playing position to do action and intonation. I still find it easiest to solder when sat on the floor 3) Not really, sorry!

Left two bands in the last 12 months and not really doing much apart from the odd "reunion" covers gig for a bit of extra cash. Got a load of original stuff written and looking for the right people to play it with.

"jamiejames last seen today at 4:53 PM" What a scumbag.

Imagine a circle with a 7.25" radius and your fretboard is a line between two points on the circle. Using a bigger circle with a 12" radius with the same sized fretboard will be flatter. Exaggerated example: [attachment=34067:radius.PNG] [size=1]edit for clearer pic and poor english [/size]

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='618691' date='Oct 6 2009, 03:48 PM']I do only use a single cab because I'm lazy and only have a small car - it's a Schroeder 1212L and I'm surprisingly happy with it.[/quote] +1, though mine is a 1210L

How much did it cost? (if you don't mind me asking)

[quote name='nash' post='617806' date='Oct 5 2009, 06:59 PM']i emailed mark saying i was confused as to where the BTA will be made this was his reply which i find interesting [b]us series is made in both countries, but bta 90 percent UK built US series has US speakers and sound[/b][/quote] Maybe the ones for the American market are being built in the USA, which would make sense, saves shipping a load of 40kg amps across the Atlantic.

How about barefaced combo amps?

Seen plenty when the Doghouse was in Widnes, and a gig we played at the RAOB in Runcorn the soundguy got a severe battering for being completely useless and then insulting someones mum. All the bands got banned that night for the fight, underage drinking and someone broke all the toilet doors

Coming up to 4 years, hundreds of gigs and practices. The only thing that's gone wrong with my ABM is one cracked solder joint and a loose transformer bolt Awesome customer service too, both repairs were done free of charge and the amp returned within a week.

Not as bad as Orange (amps) though I did at least get a response

Basically thicker strings require a slightly longer scale to intonate properly. Common problem I would imagine, I had the same thing on my Cort 5 string. Posssible solutions: Use some washers between the bridge and ball end of the string so the single wound part of the string rests on the saddle Reduce the break angle by lowering the saddle (if possible) Move the entire bridge backwards or Bring the saddle forward again leaving it wrongly intonated and just don't play high up on that string

300W, but through a fairly loud cabinet

If it were me I'd stop Elbow playing full stop, never mind just the encore.

IME a typical guitarists tone is more dependant on loads of effects rather than the speakers. I reckon continue with the bass cabs for the time being, get the much advertised but never seen speakers available first +1 on the combo comment above.
