I’m in a few different bands but the one which plays this is called Wednesday’s Child, we do modern/less obvious rock covers around the Surrey area It’s cool because we play this, Those Damn Crows, The Dead Daisies, Eva Under Fire, Larkin Poe, Brothers Osbourne, Kira Mac…

Nice, smart idea!

<pedant mode> Second gen strictly speaking, it’s the first “EVO” 🤓 </pedant mode> Almost 24 years old IIRC - the power amp board was dated same date as my 19th birthday! It had an amp tech look it over about 6/7 years ago but I suspect it’s an age thing that has taken out a power supply cap or something. We are pondering the next step with it!

Yeah, the initial brief I gave Martin was 40cm wide. The YI200 is just for testing porpoises

Update from Martin - it’s still on the cards, just been a busy time focussing in existing orders etc. He’s hoping to have a prototype in a YI200 chassis in the next few months and then will be finalising the design of the metal cage for the production model. First run will be 10pcs min due to the min order qty for the metal cage design he’s considering.

Good shout!

That’s the one, thanks @gafbass02 😎

One of my enduring early memories of the Bassworld days is a pic of you in front of that beast of a rig! I was always very jealous of it 😀

Of course I’ve just had a quick jam along to try out my new Roland Go Mixer Pro thing before doing a proper video for you, and I realise in the two years I’ve been playing it I’ve morphed some of the parts away from the original. 😆 So I’ll relearn the original first then sort the video 🤓

I’ll video it for you this weekend if you want - we do this in one of my bands. Which bits are you missing? PM if you prefer

Not yet, at least not in my inbox!

I should add … I can use a single Two10 with my Trace Elliot Elf at loud band rehearsals and still get told I’m too loud. My main issue with loud band rehearsals thesedays is if so take my TE-1200 as it’s SO powerful I have to be careful not to destroy the cab!

You won’t get earth-shattering, gut-wrenching lows from a single One10 but if the band is sensible with volume levels it will be fine for a monitor. I’ve used a single One10 for gigs with a quiet band in all sorts of situations without PA support and it’s been fine. I’ve used two One10s in a stack at rehearsal and gig (with PA support) with sensible and not-so-sensible bands, and they’ve been fine - amp either an Ashdown RM800 or Glock Blue Rock. The change to a single Two10 was interesting. It’s ultimately identical, give or take, to a pair of One10s, so the scenario above still stands, but I’ve come to find I prefer it as a stand alone cab over a single One10. It’s not that big or heavy, and the second drive just makes everything a bit … “more better”. I originally planned to keep a One10 for one band and bijou rehearsals/gigs but decided pretty quickly that there wasn’t a huge benefit in doing so… I’ve actually ended up getting a second Two10 because one of my bands is very loud (mainly the drummist) and we don’t put bass in the PA, so I decided it would be fun to destroy walls.

I would say so, depending on the sensitivity of your cabs

Not sure human/amplifier mating is to be encouraged 😄

Because I could/wanted something else/thought it would make me sound better/thought it would look cool* *delete as applicable

I’ve gigged mine, without PA support, in a loud rock band and been blown away by it. It may not have crushing low lows but it sounds like a bass guitar and it sounds good. Impressive little beasties

Turns out I’ve played this game before, so here’s the full list (I think) with the ones in bold still owned.
