Nowt to do with me but if you are a dab hand with a soldering iron or don't want the valve preamp tone this appears to be a fair bit of kit for not a lot of money!

Money [i][b]and transport[/b][/i] no object... I'd have a Thunderfunk and a stack of four vertically aligned DB112's.

I assume Alex has good reason for doing what he has done however it may be a shortsighted way of saving himself time as the whole issue of the Barefaced cabs that are on tour will become a logistical nightmare to correlate. At least when the threads were open, it was possible for BCers to discuss where/when it was moving! Just making an observation as it makes no difference to me.

Who knows something about this? Some plots, images etc.

[quote name='AJ567' post='701441' date='Jan 5 2010, 12:09 PM']Ebony fingerboard is standard for the Thumb NT (wenge for BO). That piece of bubinga is exceptional though [/quote] Of course, the Thumb changed to Ebony as standard and the rest of the NT continued with wenge. -
If the fingerboard is ebony (and it certainly looks quite dense and smooth, unlike the standard wenge), then it will be a customer spec and quite unusual/more expensive.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='700790' date='Jan 4 2010, 06:53 PM']A 1x12" speaker cab for rock?[/quote] I agree that a 'single' cab is going to struggle but certainly a pair are a viable option... I manage very nicely, thank you!
-
+1 for the DB112. I'm not just saying that because I own a pair, I genuinely believe that it is 'probably' the best cab(s) to fit your needs. Though I would add that a pair make a lot more sense than just one... they are better as a pair than the sum of their parts.

[quote name='The Burpster' post='700454' date='Jan 4 2010, 01:55 PM']Very very tempting........

[quote name='Rowbee' post='694061' date='Dec 27 2009, 12:29 AM']Any kind of Warwick Streamer - I just love the body shape.[/quote] [quote name='cetera' post='699447' date='Jan 3 2010, 01:13 PM']That'll be the classic 'Spector' shape then For me... it's a white Spector NS-2 all the way!! [/quote] The earlier Streamers were like a 'toned' Spector (think Beach Volley Ball 'Babe' as opposed to Pamela Anderson... sexist? Nah; just an observation! ) but I have to confess that Spector always had the upper hand with fancy tops and colours... so an early sculpted Streamer but with one of the lush Spector Quilted Maple tops in see-thru Cherry/Lemon/Sunburst would be my ultimate!

-
Not sure if you were just commenting or genuinely interested in that particular bass but just in case you weren't aware I'll take the opportunity to point out that you need to factor in the various import taxes if you are thinking of buying that bass! You may already know all about it but you'd be amazed how many folks it catches out.

If you are a valve amp user that looks to be a cracking rig for the money! -
[quote name='molan' post='698386' date='Jan 1 2010, 09:30 PM']You fancy the Bootsy eh John? [/quote] Now you're talking my language; none of these sensuous ergonomic 'W' curves... but what does it weigh? -
[quote name='molan' post='698363' date='Jan 1 2010, 09:05 PM']I'm having a bit of a New Year's 'tidy up' of my bass collection. I'm currently standing at nine basses & I simply don't have enough time to play them all so I'm going to start thinning them down a little[/quote] So how's about keeping all of these fivers and selling the odd 4 string?

[quote name='Conan' post='698287' date='Jan 1 2010, 07:26 PM']Cool! But you didn't say where your next gig is - other than "Blyth", which is a big ole town!! [/quote] Good point! The Royal Tavern 16-01-10. 'Possibly' the smallest pub known to gigging bands but generally a good gig.

[quote name='Conan' post='697522' date='Dec 31 2009, 07:47 PM']What's the Thunderfunk like? I was looking at their website last night. What a lovely piece of equipment (oh, and a stunning price-tag too! Are they worth it?).[/quote] [quote name='xgsjx' post='698017' date='Jan 1 2010, 03:28 PM']you can get acoustic mats to put under your rig if you want to get rid of boominess. Oldgit told me of these as he uses one called a GRAMMA pad.[/quote] If we get the chance to catch up you can find out what a Thunderfunk played through a pair of speakers of identical size, placed upon a GRAMMA pad sounds like... as that's my rig, that is!
-
How did the 'rig' sound Andy and just out of interest, what bass or basses were used?
-
I'm off to complain to my optician as my eyes must be better than he says as I can see two joins in the body of that bass!

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='694736' date='Dec 28 2009, 10:30 AM']I think you're getting me mixed up with someone else... [/quote] ... and that can't even be me!

Rivera have a reputation up there with Mesa Boogie in the guitar world... can't see why a guitarist would need a power amp that big though!

Heck of a lot of cab for not a huge wedge of money!
-
I'm based not far from the Toon and I'm using Aguilar 1x12 cabs but unfortunately I don't have any gigs coming up in or near the city centre, so it'd be tricky for you to hear what is possible with a pair of 1x12's and no PA support (I'm assuming that's the style of gig you'll be doing initially). My next nearest gig to you is in Blyth in mid January if that is any good?
