Doing our first lesbian wedding a week on Saturday, any volunteer roadies?

Practice, practice, practice and don't scrimp on cables.

F*ck the cabs - genuinely, utterly butterly brilliant to have you back BeLow

Wise words WOT as always.

Dave, I've told this story before so apologies if you read it last time. The last time I went out and bought a P, I literally had £1,000 in my pocket and together with a completely open mind, set off to buy one. I went to Sound Control in Salford and tried about 8 or 9 different Ps from Mexicans up to the 60th Anniversary model - which was very good but thought I'd keep looking. I then drove up to Music Ground in Leeds because I knew they stocked Jap Fenders. I tried a 62 RI, a 57RI and a bog basic Jap Standard at £329. I kid you not Dave, the Jap Standard was the best P I played all day - which included at least 5 USA ones so I bought it and learned a valuable lesson at the same time. Don't forget the Lakland Bob - I believe they're superb basses and I fully expect to have one in my possession soon.

But it's all a bit of an inexact science isn't it, hence your concerns? I think you're right in thinking that with this set up you might be able to turn down a bit because when I've used stacked cabs with one nearer to ear level, I find it helps a lot and I don't have to turn up as much. Hopefully, there's more knowledgeable members here who can advise you best, Nik[/quote] To be honest Nik, I had consulted our resident expert - alexclaber who advised against using the two together because of the imbalance. I went ahead anyway so I can leave the 212 at the band rehearsal room and use the smaller cab for practising in my den. They look and sound so good together (at loud bedroom volume) I was wondering about gigging with 'em (with PA support). On paper, it should be ok because we're not that loud really but I'm technically challenged, hence the post seeking reassurance for my errant ways.

[quote name='joegarcia' post='77739' date='Oct 22 2007, 02:57 PM']I believe Wil on here uses the same two cabs together. Not sure what amp he uses but it would be worth having a chat with him I guess.[/quote] Thanks for that joegarcia, I'll PM him.

[quote name='Alien' post='77743' date='Oct 22 2007, 03:07 PM']What are the impedences of the two cabs? If they're both 8 Ohm they'll share the power equally. If the 2x12 is 4 Ohm and the 1x12 is 8 Ohm, then each driver will get the same power. Either way, extra cone area = extra volume. Andy[/quote] They're both 8 ohms and I realise they'll share the power evenly but I'm just a bit concerned 'cos my amp is 700 watts. The extra cone really makes a nice different to the sound - more body and better mids.

I've just bought a GK 112 neo as a 'multi-purpose' addition to my rig which consists of a 1001RBII head and GK 212 neo cab. Primarily, I bought it to use for quiet practicing in my bedroom and to use at band rehearsals but I've stacked it with the 212 and at (fairly loud) bedroom volume and it sounded absolutely wonderful! I would imagine that having that extra speaker closer to my ear will help me to hear myself better on stage and might even let me turn down a bit. I'd like to use the pair together at gigs occasionally if it's possible without damaging anything - and, being conscious of the imbalance of the 2 cabs - ie; 300 watts 98db and 600 watts 101db, was wondering how far can I go volume wise without damaging the 112? My usual settings on the head are - Contour & Presence off, EQ flat, input volume at 9 o' clock, boost at about 2 'o clock and woofer on about 11-12 o' clock. I play in a soul band and use PA support at all but the smallest venues.

Hello stevealex35, ask that question and you'll get a hundred different answers with the most popular being - go and try as many as you can before deciding. It all depends on what sort of sound you're after and the situation you're in, ie; are you in a band gigging regularly or are you a bedroom player etc. There's other things you need to take into consideration - like size and weight etc.. A 4x10 would suit most people / situations but for me, they're too heavy and cumbersome. I like 12" cabs, other people don't. There's no straight answer.

I played a really nice Sadowsky Metro at the Gallery when I visited a while back. It was a truly beautiful piece of work in terms of finish and playability but it sounded a bit on the bright side to me - but in a band mix, that's often a good thing. I've got serious GAS for a Bob at the moment - silly really cos I've never played one.

I'm going to have to come up to Kendal and see/hear this Peter - fancy a beer one night?
