[quote name='alexclaber' post='313997' date='Oct 24 2008, 05:15 PM']P.P.S. And then later someone who's just discovered a 21" speaker cab which goes to 20Hz...[/quote] I have a friend who says his cousin's girlfriend's dad has one in his garage, so it must be true. Sorry, couldn't resist.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='313962' date='Oct 24 2008, 04:52 PM']What i meant was to NOT play the guitar riff all the way through.[/quote] Aye, that I know, I just can't remember if what I play is as recorded or some other nonsense my brain made my fingers do!! Haha I dind't know Extreme did a cover, I thought Thunder did? Or someone like that...?

As recorded. I think. Can't remember

[quote name='Wil' post='313782' date='Oct 24 2008, 01:40 PM']I think the fundamental tone of graphite has always left a little something to be desired to my ears - yes, it gives a nice high mid edge, but I've always found the bottom lacking the definiton of a wood neck. I found this on both my old Status S2 Classic and my current graphite necked P bass - my old wood necked Status S1 though didn't suffer from this.[/quote] I have to say the fundamental tone of my Retroactive is perfect - for me. I think it's got the most bottom-end clarity and guts that any of my basses have ever had, except poss my Groove fretless which is just monstrously huge!

Oh, and a two 2x10 cabs stacked vertically is a good call, but no idea on makes for you.

I'm sure a friendly mod will move it

My thoughts - wrong forum? Hehe. Pedantic git, I am.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='313606' date='Oct 24 2008, 10:22 AM']Hey! I thought you had left the room![/quote] I have... now. Honest.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='313579' date='Oct 24 2008, 09:47 AM']The weight would be the limiting factor here for me.[/quote] I'll be going from a 42kg combo so it'll see m non-existent in comparison!! Haha. Ah well, let's see if they ever release them and if they're any good first...

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='313571' date='Oct 24 2008, 09:40 AM']Anyone notice that according to Ashdown its only 66mm wide? Thats amazing. I think maybe they got Height and width mixed up. Good ol Ashdown. Seems heavier the LMII as well. Here we go ;-)[/quote] Yeah, they've definitely screwed up the dimensions. Also notice it won't be smaller than your LMII - it's a foot deep!

[quote name='Stan_da_man' post='313569' date='Oct 24 2008, 09:38 AM']Does anyone have an idea how much the LH500 gives into 8 ohms?[/quote] Somewhere between 250W and 300W at a guess

[quote name='Stan_da_man' post='313533' date='Oct 24 2008, 08:42 AM']I asked about sorting out the problems the Superfly had and if they would be fixed for this head, yet the guy completely ignored my question about reliability - uh oh.[/quote] Course he did - he doesn't want to look a prat if they all go up in smoke, yet at the same time he doesn't want to say "er, not really..." Hahaha - difficult question to answer, nice one! I have to say I'm sorely tempted to get an LG 350 as a back up to my combo, it's a bloody good price. Must... resist...

Jeff Ament - Pearl Jam Cass Lewis - primarily for Skunk Anansie but also for his Scars and TTD work. Robert DeLeo - STP

[quote name='Rich' post='312993' date='Oct 23 2008, 02:22 PM']They've probably got their 'fingers crossed' that they don't all go ffzzztttttt within 6 weeks too.[/quote] That's certainly one method of QC

Just had an email from Ashdown, they say "fingers crossed" they'll be in stores mid November.....

My ultimate amp head would be the Trace V-Type preamp mated to a 600W MOSFET power amp. Basically, I want a Trace V-Type 600H amp head please. About as rare as the 4x8 cab I have.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='312970' date='Oct 23 2008, 01:54 PM']And now you can get that same preamp topology in a dead cheap but amazing sounding Hartke! Alex[/quote] But they don't have a gain control! <gets coat, leaves the room>

Sweeeeet. I wanna do the course now!

[quote name='OldGit' post='312915' date='Oct 23 2008, 12:43 PM']Certainly is here [/quote] I love that!

We love the Ox. For my birthday earlier this month my lovely gf bought me that book with photos of his bass collection circa 1995/6ish (but not printed til after he died). Awesome

Gorgeous!
