[quote name='Huge Hands' timestamp='1421400581' post='2660698'] You know Matt too then? He works for the same company as me, albeit I'm in London. I haven't seen him for a lot of years, so I probably can't call him a "mate" too much. I think it was a shock to most of us that he was on there. Shame he didn't get through, we'd have all been rooting for him! [/quote] Yeah, big shame he didn't get any turns but he seems to be getting a bit of interest regardless. He's still busy with his function band, The Beat Brothers and no doubt they will see a rise in bookings following this. I really enjoy playing with Matt - his guitar playing is as good as his vocals too.

My mate didn't do so well - his rendition of House of the Rising Sun didn't strike a chord with the judges!

How about running a thread like this every quarter? Or every 6 months? Seems a good fun thread.

Awesome cab. I think it's the best neo cab that EBS do. Enjoy.

[/quote] What a great video, he looks like a top chap.

When it comes to acrylic instruments, this has to be the best thread on the net... grab a cuppa. http://www.tdpri.com/forum/2011-tdpri-tele-build-challenge/263778-scatter-lees-2011-tdpri-build-challenge-thread.html

Never had any problems with Thomann - I've had more problems with the UK based companies than I have with Thomann (which is zero). What's this about Germans and efficiency?

745 certainly a step up from the 725. In fact, I think that RCF have killed off the 725 now and presumably pushing the 745. Bass response is good too - in fact, I reckon most DJs could go out with a pair of these and not bother with a sub. Hmm... maybe I should make a bass rig out of these...

[quote name='Alec' timestamp='1420467942' post='2649616'] For the 12" & 15" units, the 7 series blows the 3 series away hugely [/quote] You heard the 745? Quite remarkable for a plastic box!

I think the RCFs will see you ok. 10s aren't my favourite but given the fact you are looking for lightweight and portable and only using for vocals, I think it's a sensible compromise. To put your mind at rest, I've never thought as RCF as particularly harsh - I consider them fairly well rounded and surprisingly good in the bass response, considering that ART stuff is in plastic boxes.

Talking of Attenuators, I found the only ones I liked were these- http://www.tedweber.com/atten.htm

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1416917439' post='2614949'] Luckily enough I feel the same way about Jaco as some Basschatters feel about Barefaced cabs. [/quote] Has Jaco got a sh*t logo too?

Budget?

[quote name='paulmcnamara' timestamp='1419873451' post='2643430'] Bose are portable but pricey but sound fantastic......... [/quote] But are crap for a full band situation.

Spotify is your friend. Esp if you have wifi and need to find requests.

You are only likely to be able to shave off a couple of kgs at most. Test your Mackies against some RCFs out of the 700 series... A couple of kg lighter than the Mackies but is be surprised if you didn't notice the difference.

To avoid going over the same ground again... Just read this thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/205633-in-ear-monitors-help-needed/

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1419708880' post='2642142'] Depends how many mixes your desk has... and since most bands desk are pretty basic, then I am not sure what use you expect IEM to be. [/quote] *shakes head*

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1419427836' post='2639858'] I think the logo looks great. I guess there always has to be something, right? [/quote] Not at all. Logo - Just a bit 80s for my liking.

Wow, first BF cab I've seen that doesn't look like it's been knocked up out of parts from Tandys. Classy looks. Now... About that logo.

The 350 is my fave head of all time. Not too heavy, powerful and sounds sublime to my ears. It has always been, in my humble option of course, the best amp that they have ever produced. I ended up leaving my 650 at home as I came to realise that my 350 actually had the edge. There's something about big transformers that class D doesn't nail for me. (Apart from the weight! - not that the 350 is heavy!)
