hey guys, i bought a swr big ben 1x18" cab off pete a few weeks ago to see me right for some gigs whilst im inbetween cabs..it looks like its replacement should be soon so i thought i would put this up for what i paid for it, £50 collected from manchester.
Ive done 3 (loud) gigs with it and it sounded great, very bassy!
heres the original post...

cheers geoff

hey chris, thanks for your reply....im not far from bass direct so will try and get some funds in place and go and see for myself but im thinking more and more about the bergs being the best long term option...im also getting bored of lugging heavy gear about....
cheers geoff

hey chris

how do you get on with the 12 and 210 combination? sounds really flexible... did you get a chance to compare the AE and HS bergs?
cheers for your help Geoff

yeh i spotted that! it looks amazing but its too big for the sort of gigs i do....i had a play on joes old one and it was amazing!

...just realised joe also has his new sadowsky! a trip over the penines might be in order!

yeh i thought so....i would be well up for 2x210s's but they are so expensive.....mmmm...ive heard the HS seem so have the edge on sound over the AE series which is good as they are about £100 less per 2x10...

hey guys, sorry for the boring post but i was hoping for some advice as ive been going round in circles trying to find the right cabs..

I play mostly jazz/soul/funk

I have recently got a db750 which i love. However with my schroder 21012 it was just too boomy...and i like an old school bass sound but it was really too much...However with my old solid sate head it was amazing...but the DB750 won out and i sold the schroeder

i was thinking of getting an aggie DB210..eventually 2... or 1 and a DBx12..do you guys find them clear enough with the 750? i could go for something really hi fi like the bergs, but they dont have aguilar on the front! Also they are really expensive...i dont usually do hifi cabs, in the past ive owned a Euphonic audio 210 that was too hi fi, but with the DB750 it might have been a great match..

cheers Geoff

ive seen this and its in perfect condition....

yep, ive owned loads of basses and the sadowsky modern 5 i have right now works in every context...the other day i did a pub gig in leeds with a beringer 90 amp (which was a bad as it sounds!) but still people complemented the bass......
by the way joes celinder is also Very special!

bump.......

any thoughts on the diffence between the GS and DB series 12" cabs?
by the way thats some rig! i bet it sounded insane!

Sorry for messing about but ive been talked down by other DB750 users!...i think the answer to my tone problems is different cabs..Many thanks for any enquires Geoff

hi guys, ive been asked for more info...its not the current model as it has an angled 12" to save space, im pretty sure that it is 58lb ...its carpet covered (a Very dark blue) and it has an adjustable tweeter,Really its just a lightweight alternative to a 4x10 and it sounds massive! really loud! cheers geoff

4ohms 1000watts and its the light model....

Hey Guys,
im looking to sell/trade my Schroeder 21012 L. I bought it from WOT about a year ago (he had it from new). It also has a fitted cover. Its seen a few gigs but is in great condtion...
Im using an Aguilar head and fancy trying their cabs, especially the DB12s .. i might even add some cash for 2 db 1x12"s....
Im asking £450....collected
oh im based in manchester, but am often around leeds and york...
cheers Geoff

sold sold sold

ive got one and love it...loads of guys are using them and the wheels are really well made..buy it!

good to see you mate, i remember really likeing your old cort...

the best bit of advice concerning bass buying has to be to try them first, its amazing how different they usually are to what you expect ....when i tried mine i thought i was all set to go for jazz pups but was so blown away by the humbuckers i bought it straight away... i had the same feeling about steves old 4 string!

thats my new toy!

but im still longing for steves 2 white 4 string metros...they were great!

[quote name='BassBod' post='369629' date='Jan 3 2009, 10:34 PM']Looks great! One quick warning - I've been using one of those Sadowsky cases. A great light case, but mine has a screw/pin or something sharp down in the corner/jacksocket area. You can't see it but its scratched up two of my basses recently, until I worked out what it was and stuck some extra velcro over it....looked like woodworm damage![/quote]

mmm, cheers for the tip! im off to check right now!

After a trip to the Gallery i have just bought this Sadowsky M5-24.....its amazing! I have never owned a better bass, the b string is amazing and the bass responds really evenly all over the neck. The pickups sound fantastic, i usually favor the back pup but both on full is perfect...circut is also fantastic, really musical..........I did its first gig last night and i couldnt be happier!

could you give me a lift, i cant be trusted not to destroy my bass in a rediculous way!

hey guys, i took it to the gallery who did a great job on the repair, it still need a bit more work but i should be collecting the finished bass next week, fingers crossed but martins been fantastic.......will post some pics

would also be worth having a lesson with a really good teacher. If you are new to the bass im sure they could give you some usful advice on your hand problem, and its gonna be great for all other aspects of your playing.
Good luck, Geoff

where are you based?

just checked out ged greens site and he looks really good so i think i might give him a try.....i hate the hassle of posting basses to the gallery it would be cool to use someone up north...
