[quote name='Ant' timestamp='1377082473' post='2183045'] only issue with my cab is that i wish i'd had money at the time to upgrade to the grill cloth! [/quote] I am close to chewing my own arm off waiting for mine.

Roqsolid do none padded ones. Still be about 30/40 quid I'd guess.

[quote name='jimcroisdale' timestamp='1376907857' post='2180543'] Yep - I often ask any musicians in the crowd how the bass sounds, and they always say it's fine! Sometimes when I stand right in front of my amp it sounds great - I can feel the bass in my stomach and I only need to play very gently. This is the best case scenario. Then I take four steps forwards and it all but disappears..... [/quote] Do you use the cab for monitoring only? try and get it angled to your ears more.

Might also be worth uncoupling the cab from the floor.

[quote name='headofire' timestamp='1376902429' post='2180424'] Poor choice of words, I meant the email asking for payment as my cab is almost ready. This was mentioned in several earlier posts, and is pretty standard. Apologies! [/quote] Ohhhh thank god for that. Nearly had to change my kegs.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1376855991' post='2180076'] i just daisy-chain mine to a Diago powerstation . i've tried it with the Johnny Shredfreak one too, no probs. low-power draw. definitely not worth geting a separate supply for. fear not. [/quote] Yep +1

[quote name='headofire' timestamp='1376851792' post='2179988'] This thread really only tells us we've all got too much time on our hands! I'm patiently waiting for mine. The email about cashflow made me nervous tho... I think its worth remembering that the company is essentially three bass players trying to make the best gear they can with constant improvement being made to their designs. I don't mind supporting that personally. [/quote] Hold up... Cashflow email...?

Mark at Bass Direct is great. Superb customer services

This thread has fairly grown arms and legs! Jesus!

I've read this thread with interest since my BF cab is nearly done. But I don't understand the issue with the wheels/Handles? As far I can tell, they are parts will be used all the time... Kinda like wheels on a car, would you expect the manufacture to replace all your tires, even though you've driven and used them? No. So whats different about handles failing after use? You don't ever want to replace a car tire, never drive the thing. You want to make sure the handle and wheels dont die at all, dont move the cab. I mean - if the handle failed instantly, that would be totally different...

What about getting an extender? Thats what I use. Drop D at the flip of a switch.

[quote name='tb1973' timestamp='1376303791' post='2171807'] Thanks for the replies. Has anyone got any other recommendations for good quality patch leads without getting too pricey? [/quote] I tend to use Lava ones.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1375533213' post='2162589'] Never played it, sounds interesting though! Okay, my board [SNIP] [/quote] Kev - are you running the IE units into the B7k?

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1375798384' post='2165757'] He is, he replied to me. [/quote]me too Huzzah - cab paid for now. So close!

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1375795492' post='2165688'] And whyyy was the Subterrenea not in your purchase frenzy?! . I have a Iron Ether board challenger!! You should have bought my Nimbus, save you abit! [/quote] Your Nimbus for sale again?! Balls! I was waiting for your review of the SubT And I wasn't sure if the MarkBass Synth would be a good rival to it! [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1375795538' post='2165691'] Oh, and dibs on the Frantabit and oxide of you ever sell them please!! [/quote] Oxides staying Frantabit for sure man!

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1375791467' post='2165608'] I've been waiting since I started this thread, just emailed Alex to make sure he's still there! [/quote] Haha I did too. Was just worried there had been an issue with something... Alex - are you alive?!?

[quote name='maggsybass' timestamp='1375791215' post='2165600'] Me too! How long have you been waiting? [/quote] Start of May. Sooooo long ago! I need something to amuse me just now

[quote name='TG Flatline' timestamp='1375780876' post='2165378'] Good spending! I'm a fan of the Polytope, very interesting pedal! I can't imagine I'd change the signal chain you've listed, like you say it's all subjective but that is a good place to start! [/quote] I'm looking forward to getting them. Just means my pedalboard is a little small now...

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1375780476' post='2165372'] Clearly the economy IS picking up. [/quote] Aren't interest free credit cards great?

Hey guys, Decided to go a bit (!) mental yesterday and buy some new stuff. Namely the Iron Ether stuff. I just bought the Polytope, Nimbus, Xerograph and Frantabit (and might get the SubT today). But where would these units normally sound best? I realize this is all subjective, but a little kick in the right direction wouldn't go a miss The rest of my setup is:- TC polytune mini Boss OC3 Boss LS2 Darkglass B7k Iron Ether Oxide MarkBass SuperSynth Was thinking of going something like:- Bass > Tuner > Octave >MarkBass > LS2 > Polytope > Xerograph > Nimbus > Frantabit > Amp LS2 switching between the Fuzz and Dirt. Thoughts? Think I might need a larger board... Trex board for sale anyone?
