wateroftyne

Hi all Some new TKS cabs - including the neo 112 - were given a workout at the North East Bass Bash yesterday. There's some pics [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/214518-north-east-bass-bash-september-8th-2013/page__view__findpost__p__2201060"]starting at this post[/url]. Unfortunately we didn't have a Streamliner there, so I can't give you the lowdown on how the might pair up. Thunderpaws - if you're ever down Newcastle way, you're welcome to come and see my Ceramic 112s or the neo loan cab you can see in the pics...

Will tweet the posts with the photos for our followers tomorrow [/quote] Thanks, Bluejay! Here's the open-access Facebook link to the pics: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151880033356322.1073741842.690966321&type=1&l=8640e97db3

What a GREAT day! Thanks to everyone for coming along. Great turnout, great gear, great chat. [url="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151880033356322.1073741842.690966321&type=1&l=8640e97db3"]Here's a full gallery of photos...[/url] And here's a selection:

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1378626866' post='2202438'] That was where they started to lose me. Move from progness to song orientation. Like Genesis and Yes around this time, ended up a little less exciting for me. [/quote] They did ease back on the prog, but the quality of the songs was still there. Recently they've gone back to prog, but without the songs. IMO.

I think it's awesome - one of my favourites. The production is dated, but when you compare it to something current - Clockwork Angels, for example - you have to wonder if producers are born with cloth in their ears these days. Yes Signals has a bit too much reverb, and it's a bit low on guitars, but it's punchy, fat and rich, with loads of open space.

Swing by on the way back... Bring him along!

Bump for tomorrow!

Na. If it works, it's fine. I never need to cut 'em on Fenders... the string is always wound to the bottom.

Little miss WoT (7) is doing OK on the fiddle. Sometimes she wants to practice... sometimes she doesn't. She's only 7, so it's up to her.

Some I do for money, some I do for love. Thankfully, I do most of them for both. Rehearsing is boring. Gigging is more fun.

No - just one of each, all 8ohm... L-R: Neo 15" w/tweeter (17kg) | Neo 12"+6" (15kg) | Neo 12" (8kg!)

The postman didn't let us down.... toys to play with on Sunday:

[quote name='rk7' timestamp='1378481605' post='2200995'] I'll be coming in past the Metrocentre, will that be uncongested(ish)? Oh and Martin from Overwater is coming along too. RK [/quote] Cool! Coming from the Metrocentre should be fine.

..I should mention that people should bring their own lunch. Once we've demolished Matt P's brownies (and maybe something from Mrs WoT), that's your lot. There's no shops nearby....

Nah - [quote name='funkypenguin' timestamp='1378478339' post='2200925'] is that going to affect me, coming up from Leeds? [/quote] Nah - it's the other side of the river. You'll be fine :-)

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1378467345' post='2200711'] They are different. Neo allows longer excursion, not because of higher flux, but because the motor structure is more compact. Longer excursion results in higher output with less distortion. Most of us prefer that to lower output with higher distortion, but I guess not all. [/quote] That makes sense. Thanks, Bill.

Don't have band 'practices'. Have band 'rehearsals'. 'Practicing' is what you do at home. On your own.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1378464845' post='2200654'] Thanks man, I enjoyed it [/quote] You're welcome. I'm here all week!

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1378464744' post='2200650'] I'm not sure why you want me to validate you. SMART is not used for the purpose you seem to intend for it here. [/quote] it's just a bit of fun, man.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1378464476' post='2200640'] [/quote] Weak answers (apart from the first one which was clearly a trick question). Have another go, but this time use this:

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1378463489' post='2200618'] Those who can't accept that some of these concepts are very useful if applied properly, those who limit themselves with their ill-found and restrictive prejudices.
