  1. Best cab I ever used was a swr henry the 8. 8x8 speakers. That thing punched holes in the ozone. I bet these sound mint.
  2. Folded horns all the way 🤣
  3. Damn my torment continues with my curse of the 5 strings 😥. That's a cracking bass
  4. If you was humping at the time and birth of these, then you,ll understand my banter sir. This is "rock n roll" is it not or did I take a wrong turn 😉🤣
  5. Thank you for your ver valid opinion. My needs are not important to you as you say. And I cant question your preference or reasoning in using your set up. Its 100% correct and personal too you. Again I'm not claiming anything other than at home when I push the volume on my class d heads. Personally,I feel I lose shape in a way my other heads dont. Fox said it better above. It's a feeling/vibrational thing. Others obviously get that aswell. Its certainly not a full on attack of anyone employing a class d head on the battlefield as it's been perceived by many tbf.
  6. Your comment got me thinking of my times sat out front in the crowd and I,m off too start the new BC debate/free for all on how much better a backline of folded horn cabs are better than going through a pa 🤔😉😂😂😂 Hows the classic going sir....
  7. You leave my early morning chemical imbalance alone, you bully 😉😂🤣
  8. Music has evolved ??????? I agree bass playing has evolved for some but not for all. Some of us actually still like some bass in the signal. You,ve picked my points, rubbished them without any substance what so ever sir. I can pin the vids here but certainly no point in handbag bashing. I have no idea what heads you have made, you talk about the tech side and your obviously very knowledgeable with the tech but you are ommitting facts too suit your angle. These heads never came along because the tech was better, they were born out of guys being girls about humping kit about. These heads started appearing and the companies latched on too a growing trend in the market. Companies will always sell their new lines... Does that mean new tech is better ? Often its cheaper too make with higher profit margins. I have clearly said class d works for millions of brothers, just not for me. Also stated i,ve only owned 7 of the class d heads on the market. I used class d for time sir. I,m not a hater. Apparently you dont like my opinion as a consumer. You also know along with the components, a different power supply can and does make a big difference too a few aspects. As you know also that its not just the components inside, its how they are designed too work. The tests you,ve spoke about previously have no bearing on the ops statement at all. Its not an opinion that certain heads use compressions ect too help obtain the higher volumes. Its fact. Tc electronic are very open about that in their rebel heads and have put this info out there. The tc bh500 does not suffer from this like the rh750. Why is that ? Culminates in size of head and components that can be fit inside. I think the ironic thing is you inadvertently agreed that the non class d stuff does have a difference, as for people too have a preference there needs to be a noticeable difference. Surely most class d amp builds work under the constraint of being class d heads? No ones buying a class d head the size and weight of an svt or a big block mesa. There,s a very big restraint right there. The components have always been the main factor, in any audio equipment, advancement has seen some parts get smaller but for most parts bigger is better still. My pioneer sx1980 kicks the hell out of modern 20k amps with ease, purely down too the bulkier components within it. Tech is never the end of the convo. And in house company tests always favour the products strengths only. A machine cant hear like a human does. Theres many variables. If your seriously telling me you cant tell the difference side by side of how some of these class d amp BEHAVES differently to its bigger brothers as you increase volume then your ears are fried sir and i,m done. Again i know guys have sworn by genz benz,ebs heads that i have not used. They are on the too try list. Infact i have a ebs reidmar750 and rumble 800hd on the way used to try as we speak as I,m actually in need of a small head for my barefaced cabs or its back too the eden metro,s for me.
  9. i totally get what your saying but its out of context. Forget the giggs. Guys (op) sat at home able too play at loud volumes. Hes talking about hes noticed as he gradually gets too loud volumes his sound starts loosing its shape in a different way too a/b ect and he cant dial it back in. Its a totally different scenario. At home its very noticeable. Also take into account a di,d rig is getting a boost from the powered desk or cabs and extra help with eq ect.
  10. All the power too you bro. But thats not how the thread started. There is a difference how a d class amp delivers the sound from an old school power supply at louder volumes. Maybe your answer exactly explains why class d heads work for many. As the actual head is ultimately not at the louder volumes the op is talking about or addressing.
  11. Yh i agree buddy. Class d amps are fine and work well for many np. But the op of this thread started it by saying "after a certain volume level, he lost his favoured sound in his class d amps due too the way the class d amps compress certain frequencies too obtain the very loud volumes. Thats something many of us also find. And why we chose too steer clear of class d heads. People are saying you cant tell the difference. I find that mind boggling.
  12. Absolutely right. Thats another tick for non class d. But of course we can tell the differences. This is getting ridiculous. Virtually every maker or seller of both these types of amps clearly state in their own youtube sale vid,s for their non class d heads, That it has an oomph over their own class d heads even. Thats ashdown, mesa, fender,aguilar ect. They all have a video where at some time they point out "this is not class d so has real old school oomph". For ease of reference, Just go and listen to the first and main selling point in every vid for the boss katana. Yep the 160 watts of a/b power is much more powerful than 160watts of class d. Every add 🤔😂 these guys saying "Cant tell the difference lol". Put the 6 or 7 heads i,ve owned through my cabs, blindfolded and i,d name each head by name, such the colouring of each of them too obtain their loud volumes. Why do so many people sell their class d stuff and go back to the older stuff, if its not different ??? This was accepted along time ago in the high end audio world and most guys upgrade their modern transformers with much beefier power supply,s. Many buy huge external blocks. The difference in how the sounds delivered is very noticeable. Class d amps are very usable and are so,by millions of bass players. But i just cant understand why a faction of class d users refuse too aknowledge the reason why people hump around a huge rig and pay 2-3k for a real ampeg, mesa,aguilar ect. What do they think all the extra components do in these huge heads 😂😂😂. Its ridiculous.
  13. if my status neck was a stingray one instead of a jazz i,d of had this with zero hesitation. We've all been on a budget at some time, i don't think you could spend a better £275, great upgrades and that body,s looks like a nice slab tbf.
  14. hi. Just brought a bass with these on. I love em tbf. Do you know if all gauge sets have the purple thread or just the 95,s. Cheers.
  15. cant believe this isnt in someones studio by now 🤷‍♂️
  16. Been very tempted myself but made some big purchases recently. This websites killing me 😂 How many £0000,s do you pay with other leading brands for their golden era stuff ? That terms often misused tbf but not with these monsters. 1650 for a bass of this era, quality and condition is a complete liberty. This would be going under the bed till its 40th birthday
  17. so hypothetically what do peeps charge for fretting a fretless neck nowadays 🤔
  18. This is just crazy now !!!!!!!!!! Seen so many £5-600 basses change hands on here recently that cant touch this bass in any way.
  19. very tempting. This bass is a part of bass folklore fullstop. Its an important part of both, the evolution of bass guitars and the great leo fenders own journey and his vision for the modern bass. (sorry, maybe too much weed, too early 😉😂)
  20. if i hadn't recently picked up 2 nice basses......... This websites too big for my wallet 😢😉
