Sorry, forgot to mention about Tom Jenkinson. I'm a HUGE Squarepusher fan, I've been in love with Tom's music for years, but as a bass player I can sort of take him or leave him to be honest. Clearly very talented, but kind of misses the mark playing wise for me personally.

Utterly ridiculous, mostly because a lot of the venues that implement these limiters have not had them set up correctly whatsoever. It's a real irritation... we played a function the other day and me stamping on the floor at a quiet volume pushed the level into red. Imagine what a floor full of dancers and a full band would do to it. Get real... if it's that much of an issue for the venue organiser then I'd be more than happy to pack up my gear and leave... you don't get a full band in to play a gig (and we are by no means a loud band), only to turn around to them and say that we have to turn down because a badly set up limiter is telling them that we're too loud. I just won't deal with it, and I'm really glad it's been brought up.

Thanks for the reply. The 212 did look good as well, I need to check the weight difference between the two although I should imagine it's a minimal factor. There's around 10lbs difference between the Eden and the EBS, which isn't so bad... just a bit of a bind if you're carrying it around everywhere for gigs and stuff. Any other thoughts?

I think I might chip in on this one... Stuart Zender was always my favourite player and Paul Turner, the new guy with Jamiroquai has an amazing feel and groove. Other notables for me would be Randy Hope Taylor, Dave Holland, Andy Rourke, Colin Greenwood for his remarkable ability to keep it simple and moving, Yolanda Charles, and particularly (most importantly) Pino Palladino. In regards to Dave Holland, he taught one of my lecturers upright for a while, who then went on to play with Mike Walker on a lot of gigs... Mike and Steve are both remarkable musicians, and have said they owe a lot to him.

Hi chaps, new to this forum but it's nice to be able to see a lot of guys from the UK posting instead of trawling through the mountains of info at Talkbass! Anyway, to business... I was wondering if anyone owning the EBS Neogorm 2x10 has any thoughts or opinions concerning the combo overall. I'm in the market for one having played one abroad in Sweden last year for an outdoors gig, but I really wanted other people's thoughts concerning reliability, sound and such having not heard one indoors, and likewise, any info on it's main competitors like the Eden Metro or even the SWR Redhead would also be well received. I know it sounds great, but I wanted secondary opinion also if possible. Thanks, Liam
