Straight in with a Douglas Adams quote. Nice to know inspired silliness is appreciated round these parts. I like it here already.

Greetings fellow low-endians!


I've lurked here, on occasion, but since I'm currenty actively looking for some proper gear, I decided to get with it. Strictly as a matter of speaking, of course - has bass playing ever really been hip?

Anyway, I've an old Japanese Jazz bass copy, ca. late 1970s, which serves me very well in a floppy and unassumingly vintage way, and a dirt cheap P-bass copy, which only sounds nice if you don't compare it to the other one.

I recently bought an Eden WTX 500, because it was such a ludicrously good offer that I simply couldn't have refused. I'm as yet somewhat unconvinced of its stage-worthiness, but the preamp sure does sound nice.

I'm currenty searching for a decently efficient 8 ohm 112 cabinet, in order to create a compact and versatile rig while leaving some room for improvement, as my main drummer is unholy - think John Bonhamly - loud. (Essentially just as good too!)
I'm currently liking Vanderkley cabinets, as their sensitivity seems pleasingly high, and they seem to be well-regarded on the whole. That, and the burgundy red is a nice touch.

What do you all think? I hope to learn a lot from you guys.

All the best,

Daniel
