CharlieC - 283

That just rolls off the tongue, Charlie C, two-eight-three.

Nice bass, and welcome.

I posted my LB70 a couple of pages ago but... no number. Maybe this photo of the LB70 plus a B4, DCM1500, and RL 210T will do the trick?

I call that particular all-white SB4000 configuration, "Carvinilla"

Anyone else have the H50A's? What do you think of them?

Any chance you could post a sound sample of your passive bass with the H50N's??? Thanks a bunch! -Willy

Actually, all you had to do was ask for a number.

Many people post in the thread but aren't interested in the whole number thing.

Anyway, that's a great looking bass, member number 284.

I've listened to some clips on youtube and it sounds like it has a lot of growl. Would you agree?

Yes indeed. I have an Icon fiver and an Icon sixer and they both have a good growl.

With a sweepable mid range it's easy to go from growl to smooth. I have the sweepable midrange with my two Icons and my LB70.

Oh man, I was taking a hard look at this bass! Enjoy!

TheAngryPocket · #**577** 01-24-2013, 01:36 PM

I believe they offered the HB's on the Icon when it first came out, but they don't seem to do so now. Can anyone say yay or nay on that, and why that is maybe? I would love an IC5 with 2 of'em in it.
