Well the thing is to try as much as you can - but you are not ideally placed for that. Blow some of the budget on Diesel and Travellodge

We all like different stuff - you gotta try for yourself.

Have you seen [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39253&hl="]EBS_freaks rig[/url]? Get 3 EBS Proline 2x10's 6x10 sound in easy installments. You can custom order the impedence.

Tried one a few years ago at the Bass Centre (when it was still a shop). Neck felt too fat (in a Warwick kind of way) and the MM pup totally overpowered the J pup. Maybe it was a wrong un. Much preferred the Laklands I played that day.

Do you want lightweight or not bothered?

Got bad GAS for the TC Electronic Rebelhead 450 bass system

[quote name='kdphysio' post='391986' date='Jan 26 2009, 06:20 PM']Yeah, & i could easily make a £3000 bass sound sh*te!! (this a great thread by the way)[/quote] Me too

We spend money on more expensive basses because we want to

There are a few factors at work here. The exchange rate is making US strings more expensive but once upon a time music shops sold loads of strings cos it was the only place you got them. Now they only sell strings in desperation and dont get the bulk discounts they used to get. So its a vicious circle of selling fewer strings for more money. At least Roto's and the Status strings I use (assuming UK made) should not be affected.

What about the Style Council at Live Aid - probably the biggest audience a one of Bernies basses has ever had.

When are they going to do some lightweight cabs to go with it? Could get some Dr Bass with orange grills I suppose.

At least somebody has taken my advice about not mixing cabs. Not that much different from using 2 4x10's. When are you playing the Dog And Duck?

Its too late now but Hipshot have started making their bridges with Fender fit holes. Badass gone bust; whats that all about?

[quote name='bremen' post='389581' date='Jan 23 2009, 02:16 PM']Hang on - I've been as skeptical as anyone about this (see post #5) but I mix cabs. A fifteen and a six, to be specific. Tell me again why I shouldn't?[/quote] Are you taking the micky or have you not seen any of the flame wars All I have ever said is that having different cabs, as in not multiples of the same cabs, reproducing the same signal, can produce unpredictable results due to phase cancellation. This does not apply when using a crossover, as I presume your 15 and 6 does, or if biamping a 1x15/2x10 using a crossover for example. But putting full range through both cabs wont always be the sum of the parts.

One of the things that gets thrown at me when I am preaching the virtues of not mixing cabs is why do so many bass players use 1x15/2x10 or 4x10 stacks. My sometimes reply that they dont know any better or are too stupid to know any better depending on how confrontational I am feeling. Here (and in all the duplicate threads) is the proof. This petition just proves that there are 70,000 people stupid enough to believe everything they read on the internet. Hell I can fart louder than 70db.

I cant understand why you would want a different rig for rehersal and like most others I use my gig rig (GB Shuttle 6.0, 2 NeoX112T, pedal board etc), I just only plug the top cab in and I do the same for small gigs.

Sounds like a plan
