For all I know it's been replaced already. Ill get a closer look tomorrow if I can get to the store.

The neck might be a problem. I have a Schecter Stargazer right now. Neck is super thin and fast. And I'm playing some fast stuff right now. Haha

I always had a desire to get a natural Ray though. Never had the $ sitting around.

I don't have a ton of experience with different MM pickups, the original that came with it and the Seymour Duncan Basslines I replaced the original with.

People have gave the GFS MM pickup some good reviews too. You may want to look around at some different reviews as I may not be the best person to provide answers to what you need. The SD was great, though.

I'd be buying that Peavey but I'd have to convince my guitarist to upgrade to a full stack. Gonna bring it up at practice this Saturday. Somehow a full 8x12 behind the guitarist and 4x15 behind the bassist just make for instant stage presence.

Yup. 415's is where its at.

You guys just don't understand the Dually. If you experienced it in person you'd understand. If I brought two Duallys to a venue I'd never be welcomed back again lol.

The Dually is stupid loud and awesome, kind of amazing to get that in such a small package. It pretty much delivers the same kick in the face as Dixie's 4x15 rig, only with more clarity. Sunn SS vs. Ampeg hybrid power I guess, different flavors, but the cabinetry of both rigs pack a punch.

Trust me, I considered it. I just dig the classic Stingray tone more than the ATK, even though they're close. But I'm thinking I could find a Ray 5 thats lighter than any ATK305. And Ibanez has this hard-on for bright maple fretboards for some reason that I just don't dig.

And who buys things new???

one 4x15? sounds like amateur hour to me.

I think I get it. I had 2 of the Kappas in my Yamaha...holy god. I thought the cabinet would implode. It would always eminate a weird smell when I craked it and it was louder than what you would ever really need.

I know, the dually is the best design, but the Yamaha/Sunn 215B design with Kappas will stun animals and small children. My house started moving. Like if you were in the living room, you could feel the floor boards trying to escape the nails holding them down.

You've cranked it already, right? Easy way to kill guitars in the mix, some kappas in a well designed box with some power.

OMG, that made me snort.

I think most of us here are shadowed by that monster you call a rig. It might as well be a small building, tuned, ported, with wheels and an axle. Tow it up to the gig and plug in to it.

Speaking of classic Stingray tone, I was feeling nostalgic and watched this a few times this morning. Pretty awesome when Cedric tries to eat the microphone at 2:44 haha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBUtkPrANRs

Oh for sure. The SVT-7 Pro gets louder all the way through cranking the master volume. I've dimed it and plaster fell off the support beam in our practice space.

Those Kappas cost a pretty penny though eh?

Gonna call USSpeaker today with the dimensions/volume of my Sunn 215 and see what they recommend. It donned on me last night I could just pull the Black Widow out of my Peavey combo amp to see how it sounds in the 215. If USSpeaker-man agrees the BW is good fit, and it sounds good, then the Sunn will be loaded with 2 Black Widows and the EV Force 15 that came in the Sunn can go into the combo practice amp. I just want to not use that stupid Crate 2x15 we keep stashed in our practice spot anymore.

I'm just messing...

You'd never be welcomed back because there wouldnt be any place to go back too.

Having 2 duallys would be like owning a doomsday device.

I wonder if anyone has run 2 before, or who will be the first? It could be you, IT SHOULD BE YOU!!!

I got them before they went stupid expensive and they are gone now. But while I had them in the Yamaha, dear lord. In the Peavey with the triangle ports, nothing. It was half as loud as the Yamaha, not even half. Cab design does matter.

Pretty sure I've linked this band before, but listening to them again this morning http://wofat.bandcamp.com/

He can only run two Duallys when I have at least two half stacks running, preferably two full stacks.

Laz, you'd need another amp too, right? Isn't the 7 pro 4 ohms?

Nevermind. Might be bigger hassle than it's worth. Thanks for the head's up though.

I just trolled one of that scorpion dudes threads. This might get interesting hahaha. I'll probably just not go back to OT for a while.
