I got one from Leathercraft. UK made and pretty good prices [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s?ie=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=mi&field-keywords=LEATHERCRAFT"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/s?ie=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=mi&field-keywords=LEATHERCRAFT[/url]

Having re-read your description of the tone in the OP, it sounds like they are voiced more like most other cabs.

[quote name='tedgilley' timestamp='1342183538' post='1731020'] I have to be honest here, I've heard the expression 'mid-hump' before, but I don't know what it means. Let me know; I'll help if I can. tg [/quote] Most of the original small and medium, and to a lesser extent the large Schroeder cabs were voiced with quite a prominent midrange, but not a lot of actual bottom, partly due I guess to the very small box size. Essentially a quart in a pint pot. Whereas a lot of bass cabs have a mid scooped sound, which makes them sound very nice solo but tend to get a bit lost in a band mix. There was a huge wave of Schroeder hype, mostly originating on TalkBass when the first 1210 and 1212 cabs appeared because people could not believe how loud they got for a small cab, mainly down to the built-in voicing. I guess that was around 2003/4. I've owned a few and while they sounded quite nasal and midrangey solo, but in a band mix, especially competing with too loud guitarists they were absolutely ideal. I sold mine because I was playing less rock and in more sparse band mixes they didn't really sound right. The latest batch of Schroeders, the BMF and PL are configured more like standard bass cabs with the drivers mounted on the front baffle rather than the angled jobby, like they used to have so i was just wondering if they still had that very midrangey Schroeder sound. I don't think that explains it any more clearly though

Very interesting. I've seen these on the Schroeder website and they tick a few boxes for me, but they're rare beasts over here this side of the pond, and Schroeder have kinda dropped out of sight a bit. I've always liked the cabs but had some quality problems with them in the past. From what I hear he's sorted the QC now What amp are you putting through it and does it have the pronounced mid-hump that some of the other Schroeders do?

Why do they want you to write a new bassline? Don't they like the old one or are they testing you? IMO the one on the track works very well with that song. Sorry. Not much help really

Those Squiers ***Pedant alert*** not Squire, are great basses for the money. If it does what you need you really don't need a "proper" Fender. Agree with Luke about the DI box although it may be cheaper to just uopgrade to a bigger amp like an EB or MAG if you like Ashdown. They can be picked up for peanuts used. Welcome to BC

I'm seriously impressed that you've had lessons with Herbie Flowers He is indeed a legend. Franc O'Shea's no slouch either Welcome to BC

I owned a 4PRO for a while. One of the best sounds I've had was putting it through a Schroeder 1212L. Those cabs really punch when fed a lot of watts. A couple of them would make an ***AWESOME*** rig if you can find them.

Agree about the name but like the music. Fairly typical stuff from the most talented ex-member of Genesis

Always easy to deal with. Top feller. Recommended

I saw a review of one in Bassist Magazine which IIRC would've been the late 1990s but it's too long ago to remember any details. Not much help then

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1338193347' post='1670483'] Perhaps someone can explain this mixing 4x10's and 1x15 cabs? I have never understood why you would feed two different cabs with the same input. Surely you'd want to have a different EQ for each cab to tune into the individual properties of each. OK, I'll shut up now ..... [/quote] Good question. It doesn't appear to be an ideal configuration so the answer is probably marketing. Mixing speaker sizes has been discussed at length on this forum and no doubt will continue to be discussed
