[quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1481295043' post='3191316'] You have to remember also that EBS are quite coloured cabs, they put them together as they are Scandinavian-ish companies which is not the right reason! If I were you I would rush and try but have the time to sit with your bass and your idea of a sound [/quote] Umm. Kinda. Coloured in the highs, yes - super hyped, but nothing that can't be tweaked by the tweeter control on the rear. They sound more like PA cabs (which are meant to be uncoloured) compared to most bass cabs... which are more heavily coloured to have a bias in the mids. Running demos with different cabs is kind of fruitless as a cab has a major effect on the resulting tone. The only thing that can be deemed fair in an amp demo, is running the cab that the manufacturer themselves have been using whilst developing the sound of the amp... whether that is of their own manufacture or not - as that is the benchmark that the designer has been using and tuning their product with.

Wanna borrow my subs? Looks like you'll need them.

Meyer would do also it would seem.

[color=#000000][font=pontano-sans, sans-serif][size=3]"Engine : Yamaha Judd V8 4439cc twin turbo"[/size][/font][/color] and to me it looks much better than the equivilent priced Ferrari... [/quote] What's that then? A boat engine?

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1481135454' post='3189982'] Genious! Exactly what i have in mind... oh, wait... there goes my million dollar invention for a shark tank pitch... [/quote] I don't know - if you could make them look less sh1t you may be on to something.

Gosh, a lot of love for a car with a Mondeo engine.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1481127424' post='3189901'] "I have to be this loud to get my sound" is shorthand for I don't know how to get a good sound out of my gear any other way, and anyway the sound of the band as a whole doesn't matter to me. [/quote] And besides, people who subscribe to this mantra tend to have a sh1t sound whatever volume they are at.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1481053085' post='3189375'] More fool anyone for paying for that [/quote] Sometimes a badge has a lot of influence. You'd be a liar if you told me you'd rather have a car with a Noble badge in your garage than a Ferrari badge.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1479145874' post='3174320'] But when you look at the cost of the new Mesa, which doesn't have something with the same prestige as the Microtubes engine in it, can you blame them? [/quote] It has the prestige of the Mesa badge on it though.

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1481038917' post='3189212'] I've thought about making a beveled/angled something to place on top of my subs so it's impossible to place cups on top of them, never got to do it but it comes to my mind every other gig.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1480970356' post='3188615'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Let me correct you... it wasn't my rider, it was a international jazz act who insisted on that spec. The venue, which had a very decent Meyer in-house system, didn't have the 9 wedges of the standard required. [/font][/color] [/quote] The Tickled Trout has Meyer? Well blow me down. I find it funny that a jazz act has a rider. Most jazz acts I know would settle for an audience.

[quote name='Grassie' timestamp='1480980016' post='3188784'] We have the same bass. That's the look I'm after. Well - on the bass anyway.... [/quote] Haha that's not me. I was the one who was behind the lens as opposed to being in front! That's my mate playing though.

I've currently got the strides. I'm JTUK.

This one was traced from the original.

Curse you. I want a Kemper again now.

If this is a SZ signature pedal... can anybody think of an instance where SZ has actually sounded like this?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1480605896' post='3185791'] The problem with using IEMs at a pub gig is not the £500. It's the endless succession of regulars asking you why you were listening to your mp3 player while you were supposed to be gigging ... [/quote] Leave them in and you won't even hear the punters asking you anything.

[quote name='bassjim' timestamp='1480602735' post='3185766'] The pub test you are going to do is probably the most useful. A real common bass nightmare situation that the IEM fans already have a solution for. £500.00 for the decent IEMs that do the job or just under £200.00 for the Earbox..... [/quote] Carefully shopped for UE900s (quad drive, dual lows, mid and treble balanced armatures - compared to a single dynamic driver Shure 215 that a lot of people plump for) and a headphone amp would come in circa £200.

Not convinced.

There's stuff on poles and stuff on poles. I guess it depends how good the stuff on poles you were running was.
