Axis 30th Anniversary

Yes I Did.................

Wear it with pride, drac.

Nice rig too, what's the cab?
 
That was the cab from the house rig.They backlined the whole show but let us use our own heads, so that's my GK 1001RBII on top.The cab was a Megoliath and much to my surprise it sucked....real bad. I don't know if the speakers were blown or it just couldn't handle lows very well but it was farting out bad. I had the bass flat on my amp and on my SR5 and it was just completely crapping out.I was tuned CGCF but it should it least be able to handle a low B right?Anyways like Luke said at the OH you just have to play through it sometimes and so I did..............
 
Hey, I like your choice in heads. I'll be ordering a 1001RB-II in a few short weeks. I don't think you can beat an EBMM + GK combo. It would shake my boots if I wore them. I guess shaking my sandals puts enough emphasis. :D

Nice going, Randy!

Mine's now laundered and sitting on the shelf, asking how I plan to use it.

I think rehearsal tomorrow night.

But House of Blues? You kicked our @sses, man.

Luke says that 'cause he can get Steve Morse and Dudley Gimpel to go 'Butts Up' when his stuff craps out. :D

No BS - Steve and Dudley trying to fix Luke's stuff.


I know it's wrong but I couldn't resist. I was pretty "Luke'd" at the open house show..... :D
 
Cool shot, Randy! I'll have to take a look at the 1001RB-II as a potential mate for my Henry the 8th.

Got my G.A.S. Camp shirt hanging on the wall of my studio, and my Factory Tour pass hanging on my rear-view mirror. :cool:

I think the 700RBII would be an even better match for the Henry with the 700RB II putting out 460watts @4 ohms and the Henry being able to handle 480 watts.I think the 700 watts from the 1001RBII might make those 8 inch speakers come right through the grill :eek: I used the old 1001RB(540 watts) with a Henry and it was more than enough.
 
The gig tells the story way before an Inernet post will.

Good show Randy.


IMHO

Duly noted. What was your take on the bottom-end of the Henry w/o a 15" b/u cab?

I got Aussie Mark's input on another thread, but want as much input from other F'mites (who've actually used an H8) as possible.
 
The Henry has a lot of low end by itself. I know you don't play a fiver but it handles the low b very well.I really should be telling you about GK cabs though(since i'm in their artist program).I love my GK NEO 2x12 cabs :D The Henry is probably one of the best cabs SWR makes though.I'm still waiting for the rest of the H.O.B. pictures :(

Good to know. The H8 wasn't particularly what I was looking for, but at $300 used, and for SWR's cab rep, I just couldn't pass on the deal.
