You'll have report in on the cabs now !

Sold Chris my PJB8B in a Cash/Trade deal, Chris TX'd the cash and sent the p/x whilst I was overseas so I could courier the PJB on my return, which I duly did. During this period there was a lot of email chatter, all in all a seamless transaction with a gentleman now turned on to Steely Dan. Good man to do business with.

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1328792956' post='1532677'] You're right, this was just a bit of off-topic that i've wanted to release for some time now. It was not intended to you! [/quote] +1 for could'nt be @rsed and no offense taken

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1328788738' post='1532588'] [rant] I don't know and don't want to discuss the efectivness of the gramma pads but i must say that they are too expensive. You can build one as just good with a tiny fraction of the cost, here's what you need: - a piece of ply-board cut in the mesure you need; - a piece of carpet; - two chunks of hardcase foam (don't know the real name but it's the foam they apply inside the hardcases, the dark-grey one); - contact glue; construction: Just cover the ply with the carpet and them glue the bits of foam on the bottom! There you have it!!! It's funny how i see some BC'ers building cabs and modding they basses but then go and spend a small fortune in something like this... [/rant] [/quote] Fatback, posed a question, many people offered opinions based on experience and offered variations on a solution to the issue including Bill who designs cabs for a living. I am sure Fatback is now armed with sufficient information to make his own decision, just as it was my decision to buy the Gramma, each to their own, thats why this is a vibrant and sometimes robust forum with input from all types of players.

Bought John's Epifani UL112, deal went like clockwork, all sorted whilst I am overseas. Not home yet but next week I'll be givin' it a blast Thanks John

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1328739418' post='1532082'] There are uses for isolation pads, decoupling isn't one of them. Sorry that you accepted their advertising claims at face value and paid ten times what you needed to. But there's no need to recommend that others follow suit. [/quote] I'm just a punter that bought a product that does the job (for me) is Aesthetically pleasing to the eye (my eye), and does'nt look like i've attacked a crusties bedroll with a stanley knife.

It's all very well being "Techy" with Vested interest, I'm just a punter happy with a product. It might suit, it might not, no big deal . I'm sure a trial would clarify this.... Snake Oil ...shame on you are you not selling enough "Voice of the Theatre" design concepts? Oooooer .

Aye, forgot about that bloody FUGLY, though..!!

[quote name='fatback' timestamp='1328713624' post='1531541'] Thanks for the thoughts. My amp does go down to 2, as it happens, but the point I'm getting here is that the gain from the 4 vs 8 probably isn't worth bothering with, given that I've already got a sensitive cab. I was thinking about this mainly cos when I raise my cab on a stand (to avoid feedback from the upright) I lose a lot of oomph. So i was idly wondering whether a lower impedence cab would free up some headroom. You can see that a two cab solution couldn't work for this. Most likely, i'm going to try raising the cab by a lot less and hoping it's as effective at avoiding the feedback demons. Pity, cos raising the cab totally avoids any problem even at very high volumes. [/quote] http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Auralex_Isolation_Risers.html This item might alleviate any feedback and give you all the ooomph you amp and cab can provide. I use one, it de-couples the cab from the floor and thereby removes unwanted resonance as well.

i witnessed the destructiion of a Marshall Amp, 4 x 12 cab in the Cavern Liverpool Circa 1966/7 so he was alive then....
