wotnwhy

I'm looking at getting the Yamaha MG206C, recorded using one a couple of weeks ago and was hugely impressed!

laugh away, you know music man have made some right dogs

I've been singing the praises of OLP for a long time now, and stand by it! Weak is the last word i'd use to describe the sound of mine, i've had a better music man tone out of it that some of the real deals! Think you got a mighty lemon..

Yes, i am quite partial to that scruff look two, but had come to the descision that it would be a fun restoration project. Was actually thinking white/cream vinyl, in part because of your Jacks! Tests were not in the best circumstances, badly shaped room and lots of loose things to rattle and buzz. Put some very bass heavy electronic music through them, hooked up to a 300w a side poweramp (they're rated at 200), even with the amp on full they showed no signs of struggle! very impressed!! They moved a LOT of air, and even in circumstances the ultra low frequencies were not too mushed, and you could feel everything from the sub to mids very nicely Also hooked them up to my Eden for a little play and that was a lot of fun! Definitely more for the reggae bass sound than King-esque slap Only mark on them is DKQ sprayed on the front grill cloth, a google search reveals nothing so assumed it's a band logo or something? Had the back off for a quick peek but the only thing written on the speakers was 30hz written in permenant marker, they had mighty impressive magnets on them. may well get some snaps and see if anyone can identify them. I was up in cardiff a lot with my old funk band, but members are spread out round the country atm. should be doing barfly soon with a new metal band but haven't got a date set, if you dig that sort of thing i can let you know, but it's not everyones cup of tea i know

I got these! picked them up on the weekend and had a little play with them. very, very good! well built and monsterous speakers in them. just need a bit of re-furb work to make them look as good as they sound!

i didn't convert. the smiley face has never appealed to me... it's all about the burp!

cheers for the heads up. once i've got a new band off the ground i'll be getting right on that!

looks like i have! are they all down the bay??

managed to get our first gig in the point a couple of months before it was closed. amazing venue and the only good thing down that end of cardiff. now no-one bothers going there who actually lives in cardiff. shame

At one point i owned 6 basses. i now own 3. One is my old Yamaha RBX765A, my first gigging bass, my first 5 string, my first big purchase as a child. Did every gig for 5 years. Doesn't play anymore, but it's hardly going anywhere is it?! One is a homemade acoustic fretless. bassically a length of wood glued to a small acoustic guitar body. home noodling fun! And then THE ONE. My custom Shuker. Had it just over 6 years now, don't need anything else and at the moment i don't have enough money for things i don't need, so it's the only one. However i like basses, it's a hobby, so i'd never restrict myself to one [i]just[/i] because thats all thats necessary.

thats all fine, but why do you feel that overwater should be the one to complete your vision?

played through one at a gig once. was very, very impressed.

"his mike, his amp, his rack" "well that doesn't sound very good" though there was a bassist standing there when i turned over. sure he was the one to get it? or did the band have 2 bassists?

if you can do a 5 string fretless in any guise for under £600 you'll be onto a winner (at least in my books!)

very nice indeed!

SWR 750X, just got one and it's the nutts! chunky, defined bottom end etc etc. nice overdrive section. deffinitly put it on your try list!

the same was said for the MM SUB range. not sure what i'm trying to say with that either...

yum yum
