What's your opinion on these combos : Polar/1852 as use by Sinai and Dub Smugler or Tubby (PBS)/Red I as use by Jah Tubby. Any feedback ?

Smugglers have PD1850 in theirs!
It's my favourite scoop by far, to be honest. |

Is common knowledge, the PBS/Jah Tubbys Red-I Scoop is modded copy of the Kutty Red I Scoops, he made for WSP, that Jah Tubbys bought.
Jah Tubbys never had decent Red-I Scoop, till he get dem. |

Thought they have 1852 in theirs, like Sinai. Have you heard both (Sinai / Sumgglers) ? What's your opinion ?

Red eye suits the tubby box. From what ive heard of the 52 it either doesnt suit the polar scoop, or its just operator missing the lows and making them sound hard and harsh when its a naturally warmer sounding driver. And p.s i prefer the 52 over red eye. I havnt been impressed with all the times ive heard 52 apart from in lev.44 scoop and ultimate 52 full scoop

Red I would suit JTS box, as Kutty refined driver with Roy, and prototyped box for it, till combo was ready. WSP was first crew who to have Kutty Designed RedEye box. WSP sold RedEye Scoops to JTS, when he was no longer sole owner of them, and the rarity was over. Rest is history.. All that from actual people involved, not gossip. |

Due to Nostalgia, I keep looking back into PD1852s, but in reality, people already buying and using 18" Scoop drivers, which are superior to PDs.

One thing I will add is Sam PBS built a red eye scoop before seeing kuttys ones FACT I seen the pics and spoke on the phone to Sam about them while being built , tubbys then bought the wsp boxes and took them up and did tests between the 2 not hear say the chambers and throat are act very different and when you listen to them you can tell this ,I think if I ever decide to finally give in the 1850s it will be PBS and red eye for me too

Yes Paulus, JTS def did have Some Redeye Scoops built, before he bought the Kutty Scoop from WSP.
Howeverthe ones which really did the business for him were the Kutty version. Some stuff then went on behind the scenes that some know, but I won't repeat here. |

Jts builder made him scoops and he still wanted kuttys after...hmmm and then he wouldnt sell roberts old ones bk loool wonder why. Anyway who cares goin over old ground. Qss redeye scoop and the qss/jts/pbs play better than the 52 polar bears ive heard
