OT: Bucking the trend - oh my......

Tried Markbass - but ended up with this. Phil Jones Suitcase with 4B extension cab. WOW An amazing amount of tone - power - sound - clarity - low end! Unbelievable!!!

Next to my Ampeg Portabass 2x10 for size comparison:

Hey I was looking at those in a mag, love the design. So the verdict is awesome?
Sweet, I may be trying some of those out sooner than later.

WOW, we would have the same setup more or less with the DD Sterlings.

My initial impression is like awesome squared (or even cubed)!!

All eight of those little 5" speakers put out ...........BIG

I thought you were going to go with a pair of 4b's and the LMKII, what made you change your mind?

I must say I really like my 4b with the LMKII.

What happened to the Bose?

A ten minute conversation with Phil Jones helped me change my mind. Very nice guy - great input as to how things should work together. Decided to give this direction a try. Got a few days to change my mind - but I doubt I will.

Tom - I still have the Bose equipment. The Phil Jones stuff is for gigs where a sound system is aready present. Most of our gigs are private - so the Bose covers all our needs - amps/monitors/PA - all in one. The few times we play at a bar or other event with sound - out comes the "regular" amps etc.

Nice setup Eggy!

I wish that I could unload this great sprawling Ampeg that dominates my living room!

ARSE!

Just keep it sounding like you want it to and all will be good.

Nice.

So many people just don't believe that small drivers can deliver good bass tone. They're listening with their preconceived notions instead of their ears.

Vive la difference!

Congrats! Those are great cabs. Definitely one of the big hits of BassFest '07.

I little more trend bucking. Just got a Phil Jones Flightcase - which is a 150 watt combo with 4 of the 5" NEO speakers, 2 pointing up and 2 pointing out the front with 3 big round ports. Incredible sound - clean and can get very loud. Total of 24 lbs. Can carry it in one hand and bass in the other. Sweet.

LOL eggman. I sitll play a Peavey. I owe BP a chance to kick me in the butt.

I like what I have with my Bongo.

Happy is happy is it not?

this is sounding more and more like a great idea.


between the 3 places we record...........24 lbs sounds quite reasonable.



thanks for the input.
