[quote name='BassManKev' post='314952' date='Oct 26 2008, 12:00 PM']the bottomfeeder is especially for bass[/quote] ... I thought my DOD FX25B was for bass as opposed to the FX25... or does the 'B' stand for [i]blend [/i]?

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='314936' date='Oct 26 2008, 11:34 AM']Ha, nice user name! Buy it! I've got one, awesome envelope filter.[/quote] Ahh.... yes, envelope filter..... thought it probably was.. but not much of a hint in the name... I currently have a DOD one (cheap & cheerful!) & used to own & really like the Electro Harmonix Dr Q!... now there was an eccentric quack box! Does the bottomfeeder manage to avoid cutting the bass frequencies a bit when you stand on it?

..I feel strangely drawn to the[b] Bottomfeeder[/b]!!.... What kinda funky sounds does it actually do? [i](...the voices in my head!.... they tell me things... must resist!)[/i]

[quote name='molan' post='311667' date='Oct 21 2008, 11:02 PM']Who are you calling fat?[/quote] heh heh!....

have a BUMP! on me....

Okie Dokie.....[b] SOLD[/b] [b][i]pending the usual[/i][/b]...... Thanks for all the interest .. the show is as good as over.... (..the fat lady is warming her vocal chords up!)

ok, close to a sale here!...... anyone else?.... before I divide them up?....

A great amp... I have one myself, but not the 2 0hm version... a fair price too!..... snap it up someone!

Okie Dokie!... I've gone and brought myself the Aguilar GS112's.... ( 1st gig with them last night.... they seem to suit me well...) So ready to sell them lovely Bergies right now!.... BUMP* .[b] £330 each 0r £650 the pair[/b]..... [b]Fooking bargin![/b] Interested?

BUMP* Hmmm!.....

Bump! & a reminder of the amended price.....[b] £330 each or £650 the pair![/b] Now that has gotta be a great deal for these cabs!....

[b]chris_b[/b] - I'm interested to know why they took a while to get used to?...... Anyway.... I've done some camera pics, put them at post #1 Here's a few more....

[quote name='chris_b' post='302832' date='Oct 9 2008, 10:52 AM']Sounds like you should be getting Aguilar cabs. They do sound good. Can you get to hear some Genz cabs? Their owners seem to love them! Anyway, good luck with your search.[/quote] Yeah.... the Aguilar 112's would be portable enough.... hopefully will try soon, not tried the Genz ones as yet... & I've got an interest in the [b]Dr Bass[/b] & [b]Zoot [/b] stuff.... especially the Dr Bass 1260 + 112LF cabs.... they [i]LOOK[/i] like they'd be lush!!.. & very adjustable, blend the 12", 6" & tweeter to taste in the 1260..... proof of the pudding is in the eating, as always... I assume you use your AE112 with the AE2x10...(bet that sounds very punchy!) ...I'd considered that combination but because I'm so [i]'shallow'[/i] (!?! ...looks not personality!! ) I didn't like the ascetic value of how they stack (...or don't as is more the case... very well anyway!)

[quote name='chris_b' post='301324' date='Oct 7 2008, 12:48 PM']I don't think you'll get better than the AE112 cabs and if they are "killing" the kick then I would have thought that all other cabs will do exactly the same. What amp are you using? Maybe a less bottom heavy amp would "improve" the sound. There must be a way of placating your drummer; could you EQ the bass around his kick drum, move the cabs away from him or slightly behind him so he can't hear the ports or put something between the cabs/ports and him to deflect the sound? I use a Thunderfunk and regularly play with about 6 drummers and they all think the Bergantino cabs are the best yet. I've not had a single bad comment.[/quote] I'm using a Genz Benz neo-pak (really liking it!....) & have experimented greatly, including running the EQ flat .....the bergs do seem to be able to push out a lot of bottom! ..& small variations make a big difference... my stingray 5 is flat on the EQ too.... I have also experimented with position to appease the mighty Lord of 'hitting things' !!....(he can be a little 'precious' about his sacred kick drum sound! ) sometimes it works fine.. more often, I am still left wanting to hear something that I'm not getting..... I had no problem when I used the Aggie cabs, though ..we were both happy.... (I've played with this guy consistently, in different projects, for over 10 years!.... & it's never been so much of a problem as it is now.....)

bit of a bump* If you think I'm asking too much, make me an offer.......

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='299732' date='Oct 5 2008, 06:57 AM']The DB112's certainly have rear ports. I take it you've considered and dismissed the Tech Soundsystems 1x12's on this forum... certainly can't get any more portable than those![/quote] ...no, not dismissed.... never tried!... & Scotland's a long way to go!... if I could try some closer to home I'd be up for it.... I'm finding the mighty [i][b]tinternet[/b][/i] is great for research & cheap deals ..as long as you know what you want... I only seem to know what I [i]don't[/i] want at the moment! & I can't afford to buy blind.. Them bergs are very good.. & I spent the afternoon with Mark at Bass Direct trying all of the AE's against what I had before... & the 112's suited me best...(wish I'd tried the non-neo ones too, but I was on a 'lightweight' pilgrimage at the time & was blinkered!) I'm not great with the 'science' of it all but I've become convinced that the rear ports are causing me the trouble,[i] even if it is non-directional![/i]... somehow, with front porting, I can be louder & therefore hear myself better & a certain drummer I work with lots, isn't complaining that my bottom end is killing his kick drum!.... !?!...

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='299368' date='Oct 4 2008, 01:08 PM']Was it the Aggie GS or DB cabs that you tried?[/quote] it was the GS, a 2x10 + 2x12....too heavy & bulky for my needs really though!.....but a nice sound & I could be loud enough for me too hear it well, without my drummer complaining! (there's gotta be something in this rear or front facing ports thing....) ....is it true the DB's have rear ports? I am hoping that the smaller GS speakers... like the 1x12's, impress me the same way..... it's got to be quite portable for me... up to say similar in bulkiness of 2 x SWR goliath Jr 2x10's weighing in at 55lbs each( ..which I'd like to try if I can find somewhere with 2 in stock!) .... but preferably lighter.... I've got 14 stairs up to my front door!...& it's a narrow passageway.... (ooh er misses!)
