sounds pretty nice, most people dont need rigs that will blow the cosy off a grannys teapot!!
What mic's do you use, any stage monitoring yet? |

A lot of the DIY bass cabs are pretty much on a par with many "branded" cabs anyway. Tom Danley could quite easily have released the Labhorn as a branded product, as opposed to a free design. The drivers are even custom specified afterall.
The same could be said for all sorts of short BPH's. Are they really that vastly different from cabs like F218's?........not really.
It seems to really come down to the fact of being rider friendly or not.
I don't think the same could be said of mid/tops however.

sounds fine to me, whats the kappa pro drivers like for the bins? I've only had one experience of using them in some of my own built cabs and they were alright but i've upgraded to PD now and you can tell the difference (but does burn a hole in the wallet!!!)
Some nice amps mind, £££££

kappas are great, like you said for the money ! if id have had to pay full price prob would have put a bit more in to get the pd's. but they are great !!!
amps havent cost me crazy money, done a lot of hunting and cash offers. got 2 p2000s at good cash prices and 1 for really cheap but with a blown channel. 2u500 was an ebay buy but perfect as it has built in crossover as well !!! also run a q66 on monitors all runs off ultradrive with dbx eq's and comps check out my posts for pics etc Edited by THECANDLEMAN - 28 November 2010 at 11:38am |
