TheButler Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Well, it just came 'in the post' now, very very well packaged i might add... in the thralls of excitement i lifted it with one arm out the box and think i've knackered my back, oh well - it was worth it i think I'll get pics of it tomorrow, with my Orange Bass Terror on it! Its going to be my practice/rehearsal rig and 'go-to' gig rig for now anyway. Next year will hopefully bring with it a GT200 and couple of 410's.. Will report back after i use it on Thursday at a pretty decent gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Very nice, I like the piping I would have got some if I had done it on any of my other cabs. These cabs are soo good, I'm yet to try 2 together though I need Umcoo to come to mine should have really done it while we were at Matamp together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only slight qualm is i got it in 4ohm, and not switchable. Its 900W though, well says 800W on the back, but i think thats just to remind me not to go nuts.

tayste_2000 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yeah I got mine so it's 4 and 16ohms you just have to request it upon ordering, Jeff doesn't read minds, but I use tube amps so some of my vintage amps are 16 and 8 ohms only and they all put the same wattage out regardless of impedance, you could always get a series cable from OBBM to run two 4ohm cabs at 8ohms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend to run this as a mini rig and next year get the GT200 and some more cabinetry for that.. in green. I wasn't aware you could get those cables! I suppose that opens more options up. Might treat myself to a 4x10 in the new year in that case. An orange and green cab atop each other might look odd, but meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayste_2000 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Well that cab is £400 not £350 due to the more expensive drivers.

I'm not grudging it though, i would've paid several hundred quid more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayFW Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 That is fab. I take it these cabs are special order? What's the lead time like? Are they 'vintage' voiced? Sorry for all the questions but that cab has got my juices flowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umcoo Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'd written a big long reply, but then the electricity went in my office and lost it all. To summarise.... I guess they are special order. You can customise it anyway you want. I had mine in 13 days, but that includes about a week of nothing when I was working and couldn't get up to the factory to order my stuff. I'd reckon lead time would be a week or just under. Vintage voiced? Running the bassman gets a nice thumpy vintage sound, but they can also do very clean hi-fio schtuff. Monz and Butler on here have different speakers to me and Ste, but if you ring them they will ask you what you want and what sound you're going for, and they won't rest until you're happy! It may look like us lot that have them are ejaculating all over them, but they really are necta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yeah nothing leaves the Matamp factory without you playing first to confirm you are happy with it. Monz and Butler's are voiced more vintage as in vintage by default, mine and Umcoo's is very what you put in you get out, use a vintage tube amp get a vintage sound, use a hifi head get a hifi sound. Also now available in weed tolex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess they gave you the full price before they built anything and you agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFW Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Many thanks for the replies chaps. I think I'll get my Xmas gigs out of the way and then book myself a visit. £350-£400 seems like a steal for these. Luckily I only live about 30 mins away. Now which colour...? Hmmm...
