Stag Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Of course I would love an 8x10 but I am a weed and cannot lift that kind of behemoth, or fit it in the car. But if it solved your GAS for the big bad 8x10 .... can only be a good thing (for your back) ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Well... after seeing that... and doing a bit of price research... I got my own, for even less than what was paid above, and mine is one of the last USA ones, which was a nice added bonus (not that im knockin's the Vietnam ones at all). The chaps at the shop even gave me a Speakon connector FOC as well. Top guys, who also fashioned a protective cardboard cover out of other boxes with a stanley knife for me to take it home in. It is awesome. As mentioned above - menacing. Its set up downstairs at the moment and hasnt been moved because i just like looking at it. Fearsome power as well - im not using it above 0.5 volume on the amp (B2RE) and its shaking the floorboards. With my Ric and a pick you can nail that Ric/Ampeg tone in seconds. I am so proud of it that I had to take a piccie of it and my basses. Sadly I am in the picture as well, but hey, you`ll get over that I hope.

0175westwood29 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 played a gig with this for the first time! was awesome had to do a bit of adjustment due to where we were playing but only got good comments on my bass tone, sat really nice in the mix, even when i turned on my metal muff distortion for our last song! and just found out that my band gets to spend a day in a studio, its to help out a friend whos doing a course there. we going to do two tracks complete in a day! will be quite hectic me thinks! but ill be posting the recordings up once they done so you can hear what my rig sounds like. andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
