Lose Yourself- Eminem

L7. Reading. If you know, you know, and it wins.

Don’t mind the head, but the cabs come under my self imposed rule ‘looks like a Halfords knock off’. The head looks right up my street but I’m not sure the gains over my current LMT500 are big enough, especially with the low second hand value, despite it being excellent.

Just a quick update on the Elbee 10. Carried all the kit from the car, bass, acoustic guitar, cab, accessory bag, amp bag and pedalboard to the pit in one go. My volume on the amp settled around it’s typical position for my DB112. Sound is really clear and the sire with new strings sounded great. There are some differences off axis and the very lowest notes, sub bottom E don’t have the outright thwack of the other cabs but all in all, an absolute bargain and just the solution I, and my bank balance, was looking for. Thank you krispn for the heads up.

Thank you, so far so good. Managed an hours practise yesterday with the neighbours out, great fun with the sire, trying out different tones. Dress rehearsal for a show tonight, elbee vs drummer round 1.

Know what you mean about rat fur cabs, although i dislike cabs that look like they fell out of an 80s boy racer's boot more. The elbee 10, just, stays the right side of this. Its got a busy breaking in period, 12 calls in 14 days, starts tonight. Really looking forward to it.

It's arrived. Yes, the logo looks like a male bird plus spherical play object, it only makes me like it more. I've only given it a 10 minute run out as my neighbours were kind enough to receive it after DPD wouldn't send it to one of their designated drop off points. Its a semi detached so trying to find the point the cab farts out on a low b seems a bit ungrateful. First thoughts though. I wanted a cab that would be small and light for rehearsals and pit work. My long serving Aggie db112s have a surprisingly large footprint and some of the spaces pit musicians have to play in can be very tight. This will be perfect, it must be one of the cabs where a mark size head is in danger of overhang. It's stupidly light and opening doors etc whilst laden with kit should be much easier. Tonally, I wasn't expecting it to challenge the Aggies and it won't, they'll be staying in the meantime for function band work and festivals. It can make the ceiling shake easy enough, more like decent low low mids than full fat bass but I DI for most theatres and the foh will do the heavy lifting. Flats on the lb100 needed a bit eq experimentation, I suspect that's my ears needing to adjust. The cab seems more suited to the sire v7, which is good news as that's what I'll be using 90% of the time. I'll have a better idea of the cabs capabilities after next week, I've a show for a week, where it'll be up against the most leaden drummer so a decent run out for its first test. Harry

Was hoping to a NCD later, but Dropped Parcel Deliberately can't deliver to a appointed Pickup Shop apparently because the packaging was unsuitable. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

One of the best quotes I heard about a similar musical argument was "It doesn't have to be correct it just has to be right." Makes perfect sense to me.

As a left handed music teacher who plays right handed, I'm going to butt out of this one...

That's what I suspected. Will be interesting anyway.

So can't really tell if i don't have a variety of cabs to AB. I will give it a go when the new cab arrives against my db112, but it wont be like for like obviously as the new cab is a miniscule 110.

So what am i listening for please?

Elbee 10- rehearsals and pit work will be its primary source of employment.

Will do, I have a week’s worth of am dram pit work first week of December, hopefully the cab is ideal for it.

Seeing as one of these is still two thirds of a secondhand one10 and after a full day of carting kit around into the small hours- trigger pulled, one of these is on the way.

I'm keeping an eye on the for sales, it seems to be a common problem. My Aggies are over ten years old now, they cost me the equivalent price and the fit and finish, apart from one or two slight marks is still excellent. I must be getting old because I really like having smart cabs!

How did I miss this? Been umming and ahhing over a BF one10 but the peeling tolex is an absolute deal breaker for me. Spent the pocket money on an UA Apollo twin instead and used it once in 2 months. Had too many mad dash gigs these would have been perfect for.

Wouldn’t be surprised, he was an endorsee. A position I’d happily accept, I have an lb100 and an asat, and have aspirations of a 5 string jb for the next significant birthday.

Amazing, thank you.

Great call. I can remember being stuck in a traffic jam with my dad aged about 11, and hearing Everybody Needs Somebody on the car radio. The bassline at the end had to be good because I could hear it and we were in a Lada.

Here's our promo video for an upcoming gig. We play a fund raiser for the local theatre and the footage is from the last one.

Ahhh, our cheese grater playing friends deserve some love sometimes! I did have a listen to The Highwomen's The Chain to hear the Gibson/ dimed 100w Marshall he mentioned. Seems to 'cut through the mix' without too much difficulty.

Worth watching all the way through, there's some serious guitars on that rig.
