  1. [quote name='Tinman' post='388808' date='Jan 22 2009, 05:42 PM']So.....discussing the cab with Mrs T: She says: "It looks the same as what you've already got........it's green, with four blobs in the middle" Oh dear lord [/quote] Haha! You could have possibly gotten away with it if it wasn't for [s]those pesky kids[/s] the forum
  2. Hell yes! I was looking at a similar set up - my new rig will be revealed on Sunday tho
  3. [quote name='Raggy' post='388788' date='Jan 22 2009, 05:32 PM']Anyone had any experience with these cabs. I have the urge to run 2 together. [/quote] Do it, it'll be great Never used one, mind. But I reckon it'll be great
  4. Cheers Matt, that's saved me a job tonight!
  5. Cool! What about the cat?
  6. Nice cat, and nice MB rig I like the look of those 1x15 cabs - how do they sound?
  7. Status? Playability? You won't find a better playing instrument, IMO.
  8. I've changed my mind. I want either a Midget Twin (get in!!) or a Big Twin Sub - I'm mad AND deaf
  9. Well, it sounds bloody good with the 1x15 combo.... It can come up for the ride on Sunday and you can have a look
  10. [quote name='johnnylager' post='388571' date='Jan 22 2009, 02:38 PM']I did this in Amsterdam - I wouldn't do it again.[/quote] [quote name='alexclaber' post='388574' date='Jan 22 2009, 02:39 PM']Don't you already have one and a second impending? Alex[/quote] Excellent, I set 'em up, you boys knock 'em in. Keep them coming!
  11. Withdrawn thanks to Nic and Mr & Mrs Tinman and their common sense. Plus it sounds awesome with my new 1x15
  12. [quote name='yorick' post='388308' date='Jan 22 2009, 10:46 AM']Depends on where the two guitards set up!!! [/quote] But it's kinda nail -> head for my function band. Having a guitarist either side of the drummer, one who sings lead, plus a female lead singer, means we have to balance somehow. So it's guitarist and female singer on the left of the drummer, me and male singer/guitarist on the right. Not sure why we've never done it the other way around, but it's been a habit since day one and that's that. Doesn't worry me, though I do prefer being on the left for the reasons mentioned above, since our monitoring and general onstage banter is always good
  13. For some odd reason I am always on the ride cymbal side in my function band, but hi-hat side in my originals band. I think it's just the way the function band balances better visually but it doesn't make any difference to me.
  14. Sounds worrying - any updates? Hopefully positivie ones!
  15. I vote A too. B is too long vs the body (as BigRedX has said) and C seems a bit angular in comparison to the body. I like A a lot
  16. [quote name='Mikey R' post='387846' date='Jan 21 2009, 06:33 PM']About the 3rd fret parallel thing - as the biggest stretch is down this end of the neck, and both me and Mert do most of our playing down there (being BASS players and all ), it makes best sense to make this end the most familiar. As you move up the neck, your fingers naturally start to angle in the direction of the frets, so I think its going to be a win.[/quote] Wot 'e said BTW, "a few months" to me means about 3 years, so we're still on track
  17. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='387836' date='Jan 21 2009, 06:23 PM']I know where I'm not wanted [/quote] Yeah, geddaaaahhht! Both are now provisionally sold, one to MB1, one to Overwater#1. Cheers peeps! Mike - will let you know if anything changes
  18. Hi all! MB1 has first dibs, jus' checking with him what the score is and will go from there: Martin-Matt-Mike is the order this will go - anyone whose name doesn't begin with M can p*ss off!
  19. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='386471' date='Jan 20 2009, 05:48 PM']Can't believe I missed JTQ. I always thought their records sucked but as a live band they were excellent.[/quote] +1. Great band, great musicians but just never ever got a spark on record. Live is just a totally different experience, would love to see the new line up. I think I only ever saw Gary Crockett with them, he was awesome!
  20. [quote name='johnnylager' post='387608' date='Jan 21 2009, 03:19 PM']It's Merton with moveable Eagle eyes! I was mid valve change![/quote] See, I'm just a pedant [quote name='johnnylager' post='387608' date='Jan 21 2009, 03:19 PM']Me too, yes and oh yes - used it bridged into a Carlsboro 15'er & Nik's 15'er but using the poweramps individually and panning was better with 2 unmatched cabs. Can't wait to try it with a Big One and [s]give it some proper f***ing welly[/s] undertake a thoroughly scientific & objective aural assessment of both the amplifier unit and the bespoke loudspeaker cabinets [s]abilty to causing hearing damage[/s] merits.[/quote] It will sound immense, trust me!!
  21. [quote name='peted' post='387573' date='Jan 21 2009, 02:50 PM']Hi Mert, Any more pics of the prototype? Is it finished, and how does it play? I haven't had any more news on my own fanned SC, but I'm trying to hassle Jon too much [/quote] Not that I've seen - I think Mikey has had Christmas away from the bass building. While the wood gets all aclimatised I think the idea is to do the finishing of the proto. There's still a fair bit to do on that but Mikey thinks that to get mine to the same stage will take a fair few months so I believe there will be two builds running parallel for a while. I could have totally misinterpreted to, I'll leave that for Mikey to answer! [quote name='BigBeatNut' post='387595' date='Jan 21 2009, 03:09 PM'](snip) If this doesn't qualify for the thread hi-jack of the year, I don't know what does sorry.[/quote] Haha, go ahead, I don't mind!
  22. Bloody hell that's in good nick. No idea what it's worth I'm afraid tho. Also broke, but if you wanna sell for £5 I'll have it!!
  23. He is indeed interested... PM'd
  24. [quote name='BigRedX' post='387510' date='Jan 21 2009, 01:56 PM'] This isn't for you then?[/quote] That's a very subtle fan, ain't it?!
