I just did the same. I bought a Sandberg Thoman 70th anniversary 5-string Electra. It is amazing, plays just as good as my Cali 4string, even sounds better (with the 'rougher' Sandberg pickups compared tot the Delanos on the Cali). It was just a bit heavy and unbalanced, so I ordered a set of Sandberg lightweight tuners, hich was quite expensive, but makes a huge difference 280 grams lighter and no more neckdive. BUT beware, the holes for the electra tuners are wider than the Sandberg lightweights! So you will have to fill the holes (or put something around the ferrules to widen them).

Hi all, off late I am getting more into playing with a pick, especially the faster funk of Bobby Vega, Cody Wright etc. I usually play fingerstyle (funk, disco, jazzrock, rock) with 45-105 DR LowRiders on my Spector NS4CR. Nice tight attack, deep full sound, long life. Would a different (lighter) gauge be better for pick playing? What would the difference be tonally and on playability? What strings do you prefer for pick playing? Thanks for all input!

Thank you so much, this is very helpfull. Indeed I am looking for an FRFR (a term I didn't know before), just amplifying all the aspects of my playing. And it seems GSS is one of the ways to go, especially since Didier is so easy to get in touch with.

Hi Hellzero, I see you use GSS products. As you can read in my opening post I want to assemble a small rig and am seriously looking at the Baby Sumo and a Single 12 coax. I have had contact with Didier and he filled me in on the technical details. Since I cannot test them in my country I’m very interested in your experience as a user! Especially the sound characteristics and how they hold up in live situations.

Please don't hi-jack this thread and start arguing about arguing for arguing. I asked for ideas about GSS 12" cabs and am glad with any advice. In the longer and arguistic posts is still a lot to of information for me.

I mailed Didier and asked about the speakers, this was his answer: "The Single12coax' speaker is a Celestion TF1225CX while the "standard" Single12 is loaded with a Celestion BN12-300S. All the best, Didier"

True it is, not often two Yodas meet. Thanks so much for the very clear response. I'm not looking for to much volume either, clean and honest reproduction of my bass is most important, and size. But the difference leaves me with a difficult choice between more percussive punch without- or clarity with tweeter...

Thank you, I knew it is a challenge to find good sound and small footprint, didn't know Hoffman's Iron Law though. Just trying to find how small (and light) I can go with a 12" and still have good (clean) sound.

Yes, I saw his other products and they're very interesting. I really want to go with a 1*12, so if you mean 'standard' compared to his other designs, that's ok. Just hoping they're better than the other usual suspects. At least they're the smallest 12" I've seen.

Hello bassfriends, I want to assemble a small rig with my Eden pre, a power amp and a 12" cab. As a power amp I was looking at the Baby Sumo (300w at 8ohm), and saw on their website the Single12 cab. I have seen some reviews of the Sumo, but can't find anything on the Single12 cab. Anyone tried or owned one? https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-single12coax-coaxial-12-bass-cabinet-c2x25882857 Thanks for any advice.
