Honestly that photo has some lovely specimans . Did that come out right ? I meant the basses - you do know that , don't you ?

[quote name='ped' post='567513' date='Aug 13 2009, 12:20 AM']Just playing with my new camera... got a quick snap here, it's a bit blurry actually but will get some better ones tomorrow. Just wanted to ask though, on my monitor the picture is very clear and sharp, but having posted a black and white pic on here before some said it was very dark on their monitors. Over at Flickr I have looked at the pics in the black&white section and they all seem about the same levels as mine.. so how does it look to you? Cheers ped [/quote] I've been on the look out for a passion like this for years - either missed out or no money at the time . Always wanted a white one , and non of that 90/10 malarkey - it's graphite only for me on everything now . I know that you'd probably never sell , but I'm going to be cheeky and ask .

Dan's (DOOD) interest in the PA option is one that I once looked into . I tried to find a flat response system , but could find non . EA stated that their gear was flat response - I heard harsh . An Aggy rig in BGM was described as flat response , but it's got a shed load of valves in it - thus colouring the sound . Eden used to say that their gear was 'pure' - it colours . Why do all the supposed flat response systems all sound different - shouldn't they all be the same ! A pure sound is subjective to the listener . I would have thought that a digital system would be more flat than a valve , bi polar or mosfet etc , although being a technical dunce of sorts , I hope to be corrected and maybe learn a bit . By the way , I use an Eden WT400 and Epifani 610 UL and this rig is not flat reponse , but I love what it does - all that matters I suppose . Though if DOODY ends up with one of Alex's cabs , I may yet pester him again for a try out as they do look mighty interesting .

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='559679' date='Aug 3 2009, 09:30 PM']It claimed to allow switching from 8 to 4 ohm impedance. It consisted of a capacitor, switched in and out of series with one woofer of a parallel pair. When in circuit a DCR measurement would be twice that of when it was bypassed, since the capacitor wouldn't pass DC to the second driver. When an actual impedance sweep was done there was no difference, of course. There are only two possibilities for the origin of the circuit. The first is that the A-G engineering staff did not know the difference between DC resistance and AC impedance. The second is that they knew and tried to pull a fast one. Neither explanation is excusable. A-G never came up with a plausible explanation, the switch unceremoniously disappeared from their cabs and literature. They continue to make SPL claims that defy the laws of physics in this universe and at least two more that we know of. [/quote] I seem to remember a couple of their cabs being reviewed in Bass Player a few years ago . They picked up on the switch issue (the technicals are a bit beyond me , and I defer to Bill and Alex on this) and Accugroove's reply was a bit snotty . Haven't Epifani come up with a similar silly switch recently ?

[quote name='steve-soar' post='549451' date='Jul 23 2009, 10:13 PM']Cheers Martin, it is very nice. Only problem is that new strings need to be without windings to get the silk off the nut grooves. Sound is amazing, not many choices but massive and meaty tone. [/quote] Don't often see them in that condition . My stingray rear and front loads and strings used to be an issue - just look around , though Elites are all silked from what I've seen . My mate's promised me his pre ernie ball natural one , but only after he's snuffed it . Oh and I heard ' Love and Pride ' on the radio the other day with a nicely prominant early stingray tone if memory serves from concert footage from the 80's . Good song and great tone

That's some lovely lovely gear you have there! - I have indeed replied to your PM, lookin' forward to having a good bass chat with you! Welcome![/quote] Thanks for the reply . I was looking at Saturday morning (just in time to buy it and take to the outdoor gig I'm playing at and crank it to buggery) , but alas the car is off with the wife to somewhere called the 'Next Sale' . So as I have your mobile # , I'll ring or text on Saturday afternoon to find out when is good for you - maybe Sunday or Monday evening ? I'll be in touch .

Hi everyone . I've been a 'member' since the start , but never got around to making an honest womam of you all . I've now done it at last - mainly because I'm after Dood's 610 ul - I'll be in touch -I'm in Norfolk . I'm just turned 40 , playing since 15 . Married , 2 kids . Gear - Stingray with Modulus Quantum neck , Status 2000 , '79/80 Precision , 70's Jazz with Vongunton graphite neck 2 humbuckers and Status 2 band , Framus Star bass , Eden WT400 , Eden 410 XLT 4 ohm , Epifani UL 401 S1 4 ohm and some pedals that never get used . Bit of a luddite with computers , so it may take a while for photo's etc . Anyway , Hi guys and gals , it's a pleasure to finally arrive .
