I have heard someone, I forget who, using JBL EONs as part of their rig... sounded fine to me. I did for a while toy with the idea of getting active EON cabs and just using a bass preamp with them.

Yup, I like how delightfully silly.

You can usually find these things all over eBay, but there don't appear to be any at the moment. There are a couple of ebay shops who stock a hell of a lot of Artec gear, might be worth contacting them?

I used to run 1x15 + 2x10. I swapped the 2x10 for a second 1x15 and now the sound is bigger, louder, more everything. Far better.

I used Interparcel to send a power amp to Slovenia. It arrived safely and only took a few days. The tracking was easy and excellent.

Life's too short to spend time with people you don't get on with. Talk to the rest of the band and see if they're of a like mind to you & sticksman. If they are, show banjo the door. If they aren't, walk.

That is one very VERY lucky man.

[quote name='chris_b' post='1010720' date='Nov 3 2010, 01:26 PM']But my question was why Clapton when every week there's so much that falls short of even being adequate.[/quote] Yes, and every Wednesday we get a thread that goes "Did anybody see [i]Insertnameofbandhere[/i] on Later last night? What a bag of sh!te etc etc...". Clapton's not getting special treatment.

Manring is a genius... his whole approach to the instrument is so innovative. And some of his compositions are simply stunning. The Enormous Room is my favourite solo bass piece ever.

[quote name='chris_b' post='1010439' date='Nov 3 2010, 09:58 AM']I wonder why everyone hates Clapton today?[/quote] My dislike of Clapton isn't just restricted to today. He bores me rigid. Yes I know, he's a legend and all that. Don't care.

Bellowhead were on? *rushes to iPlayer*

Where's the popcorn?

[u]Amps[/u] G-B Shuttle 6.0 head, rackmounted with AKG wireless receiver. Hartke 3500 head on its own in 2U case. [u]Cabs[/u] 2 x Nemesis 1x15" SWR Bass Monitor 1x12" wedge The cabs are all 8Ω so there are no impedance issues. This gives me a fairly flexible selection. For rehearsals and some small gigs I generally use the Hartke with one Nemesis cab; for bigger gigs it's either the Hartke or more usually the Shuttle, with either the two Nems or one plus the SWR wedge.

'Romeo+Juliet', Craig Armstrong et al.

I'll give you a clue which I prefer...

Oh no, has he been at it with the gymslip & warm custard [i]again[/i]? The poor marmoset still hasn't recovered from the last time.

Wow. The evening sounds like a blast. I agree, if I'd been there I would have liked him to reach for the brown bass at least once... just for a few minutes [quote name='molan' post='996618' date='Oct 22 2010, 07:31 AM']So - the big decision now is whether to go and see Billy Cobham tomorrow night at a simialr venue in LA or not. I may be jazzed out already. . .[/quote] When are you likely to get another chance to see him? How often does Billy play in Oxfordshire? G'wan, you know it makes sense...

[quote name='lowdown' post='993319' date='Oct 19 2010, 11:22 AM']The thing with Sanborn - he can play one note and you know who it is straight away. Its his tone.[/quote] Yes. The late Bob Berg was like that too, instantly recognisable. God, that was a tragic loss.
