  1. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1481647189' post='3194016'] Umm. Kinda. Coloured in the highs, yes - super hyped, but nothing that can't be tweaked by the tweeter control on the rear. They sound more like PA cabs (which are meant to be uncoloured) compared to most bass cabs... which are more heavily coloured to have a bias in the mids. Running demos with different cabs is kind of fruitless as a cab has a major effect on the resulting tone. The only thing that can be deemed fair in an amp demo, is running the cab that the manufacturer themselves have been using whilst developing the sound of the amp... whether that is of their own manufacture or not - as that is the benchmark that the designer has been using and tuning their product with. [/quote] Point taken and no you cant run demos with multiple cabs, that would be too much, but was just trying to rationale the sound heard for an earlier persons comments, and it probably wasn't tweaked. They did just say we chose this cab as it is scandinavian.....which is not great, and they should highlight its strengths and weaknesses as not everyone will know as much as you do about the cabs. The key to that demo though was the lack of proper use of the EQ section and just flagrant knob twiddling
  2. It's definitely a voyage with this one, i am loving it so far. I paired it with a Two Notes le bass before the VMT circuit and got some really nice harmonics and octaves with both distortion circuits hammering together, felt like i was playing a Hamer 8 or 12 string
  3. Have you looked at the Two Notes Le Bass? You can get clean as well as nasty channels in one pedal. The clean A channel on its own can be broken up to be a little gritty if you have the right bass for it. With the super hot G&L L1500 bass i can do this. I have this as well as DG B7k and VMT and can vouch for them all for different reasons
  4. I agree of sorts with you, especially The clean sound, but what you had was the guy playing a lick and they were twiddling 1 knob full on and full off in succession and then back to neutral or somewhere else. The beauty is actually spending time with the amp as at every point amongst mids highs etc. They interblend with each other and then of course the gain knob will react with each frequency. It really is much more subtle (although powerful) than the review can say. The key is that the clean sound is awesome, which is actually the most important sound, if this is good then you can be assured the dirt will follow as it is great in their pedals. You have to remember also that EBS are quite coloured cabs, they put them together as they are Scandinavian-ish companies which is not the right reason! If I were you I would rush and try but have the time to sit with your bass and your idea of a sound
  5. Good review, and well done on getting it free! I have had mine for about 2 years now, i got one of the first lot when they came out (wish i had offered t review it!) it is a brilliant bag, does what it say on the tin and in the review and some. I agree with Ped about the opening of the second bass compartment, but all you have to do as he says is to open it right out and flip the top half to the side and it works a dream. If you have no stand for a guitar but will be swapping, then take the back one out to play and then swap between the top compartments to avoid the difficulty. My guitarist was initially sceptical and was very much a hard case only guy, but he saw it and was really impressed how it packs armour like a chinuck helicopter-chopter. This bag is still going strong for me, they deliver really quickly and are amazing at customer service. On an additional note i just picked up their DJ mix bag which is heavuily on sale as it is discontinued and it is a very good bag for you class D amp people out there
  6. If you want a lot of low end in a gorgeous bass I have just modded a G&L L1500 which would make it perfect for dub
  7. no such thing as a spare intsrument, its just one waiting to be played
  8. lovely, this is way better porn than those other sites
  9. Great to hear that, i have a super twin as well and stumbled across an awesome deal for the M900 which was a B-Stock so bit the bullet. Should be here next week. Just have to sneak it past the mrs....... Pedal wise i have a few but i will be interested to see whether it replaces the need for my b7k and VMT or just adds ot it
  10. The third band for last in line and Inglorious were called Wild Guys and you didn't miss much. 2 Les Paul's and a Stingray left an unarticulated sound they were all pimping sludgy stuff. Young kids obviously with talent, but for my mind a bit sulky teenager with Beenie hats, dime a dozen band. BTW not hating on LP's LIL had one paired with a Stingray and a keyboard to cover all sonic gaps better, and Inglorious paired their LP with a non reverse gold gibson firebird which was lovely. Bassist had a Warwick stack and bass, but for me was not quite pushed through enough, he plays more in the higher end of the spectrum, but a real good show man and a nice little solo
  11. I know Weston Super Mate got the heave-ho earlier but does Bristol count as a big city.....? You could say for example pick an area near like Bath, chipping sodbury, or Chippenham for example and have the benefit. Bristol does get gigs from touring bands, the smaller scene is also good. Cardiff will have a scene so you could look at somewhere close like Newport, but I have no idea what that is like
  12. For all you DG guys out there think i found a good solution for a case at a pretty good price. I have Fusions double gig bag and it is a tank. Last years models are going cheap whether its the DJ workstation of the Laptop workstation you may like. https://www.fusion-bags.com/collections/dj I may have accidentally got an M900 so i'll report when the bag comes in as well
  13. Used it in the following basses: Fender cabronita-Passive and recessed jack (angled cord ends would not fit in) G&L ASAT both semi hollow body in active and passive mode G&L L1500 in active and passove mode Worked perfectly in them all, I did not test the full range but never cut out and I have been in a different room in the house so not line of sight and it still worked. No pops when you change. Only problems (which are not huge) base unit is a 5v USB charger so you need to plug it into mains, if it's in your board you can use a power pack like you charge your mobile phone with, Anker ones are brilliant in various sizes, or you need a power brick by Yankee, the PS M-1 http://yankee.com.pl/ps-m1-power-supply/?lang=en I have not used the DI straight out the receiver so cannot comment. Overall though brilliant piece of kit for the price. Thoroughly recommended
  14. Sunday night Last in Line and Inglorious - good old rock and good new rock, Inglorious put on a great show and the singer has a real voice. Bassist has a few chops as well
  15. Sounds like it's all good for you. Every time I look at another smaller new amp, my LH1000 just keeps blasting away and they are built like tanks I know space is tight but do you think you could fit in a double gig bag and could then take 2 basses? I have one from Fusion, a UK based company and awesome to deal with. Those bags are built like tanks also
  16. @Rexel matador - if you like the Schecter, then check out the G&L ASAT, they also do a semi hollow, its an absolute beast of a bass - i have one of each! GAS that never goes away for me is a Tech 21 dUg Ultrabass 1000 Its a Unicorn NIrvana
  17. I'd love to hear anything on this please as well. The Reidmar is certainly in my thoughts and I have a supertwin already but with a Hartke LH1000
  18. GHS Bass Boomers - nickel plated steel and great sounding
  19. @Chiliwailer - that is lovely, you did the right thing, especially as i am keeping m L1500 now!
  20. A shame indeed, i never bought from them, but had spoken to them and they were very helpful. Best of to him and his family
  21. By the way I have a Hartke LH1000 and it's very loud and bombproof and pretty transparent to allow you to amplify what you throw at it. I have the Barefaced supertwin speakers which are phenomenal and loads of bass. I had the Hartke HyDrive 410s, very good as well but I needed a little more low end for my liking and a lighter weight so moved them on
  22. All depends on your sonic space. A Hartke flat EQ is bass knob 2/3, mid knob 10, treble knob 2/3. You can then work from there to tinker your sound. Not all 410s are bred alike and you can find endless discussions on dispersion issues, but it fully depends on the components in the Cab. So far as not cutting through, well if you have a guitarist with a Les Paul and then you play something like a Fender Starcaster with 'Mudbucker' type pick ups you will just get a wash of sound, or if it's too heavily distorted to be articulate. Pair instruments right, get the balance and EQ together and you will get heard just fine I think. Most important thing is to have fun and do whatever you want and sounds good to you and the band. You look at a guitarist like Ty Tabor in Kings X and for years people were trying to work out his sound buying all sorts of expensive gear, and actually it was from a very old, relatively cheap amp that he just lived and tinkered with till it matched dUg's sound that he took ages to tinker with. I'm sure you'll get in fine as long as people keep drinking in the pubs! Make sure you post your rig pics!
