Oh, no! So sorry to hear this. He was one of the people who really made TB worthwhile. My condolences to friends and family.

Very sad. I enjoyed his contributions and interactions. He seemed like a good man.

I’ve had a few gigs recently with an acoustic lineup that were perfect for my TC112. Such great stage sound!

 

[Robert Gross]

In the market for a Hathor or Changeling. Anyone?

I’d be tempted by a Changeling 1233T. Realistically, there’s no way I should, but….

Which version and price/location?

Which version and price/location?

I was fortunate to get a Hathor recently, so no longer looking

 

[Robert Gross]

Anyone selling a Hathor?

I might be. Are you still interested?

 

[DennyOnBass]

I don't use both Hathor cabs very often anymore as most of the bigger gigs I've done this year have had provided backline, but I couldn't resist getting a full rig shot and also show off the Guild Starfire I bass that my wife bought me for Christmas when I was playing the concert series this past Saturday at Coyote Crossing Resort in Cadillac, MI.

Hey ya'll, asking a question for the long time owners of Thunderchildren...
I've got a TC 112, bought used off here last year, an earlier version. It's been great. Until a gig last night. I could hear this weird crackly distortion behind the tails of notes, or soft notes. Anything loud came thru, but anything below a certain volume got crispy, and below that got cut out, like a gate.
Has ANYONE heard of anything like this? feel free to PM me if you'd rather be discrete, I'm not trying drag Audiokinesis or anything. Stuff happens. Just gotta figure this out before the next gig.
I've written to Duke waiting to hear back, and my audio guru here in town. Might have to open the whole thing up to see what I can see.

I had an issue with a high end rattle from my TC112 cab with the baby but tweeter. Ended up that the switch nuts inside the cab had worked loose and needed to be tightened back up. When I spoke to Duke about it, he jokingly said that I had discovered the only flaw in his build. I had to reach up through the upper port after removing the rubber port gasket, and it was just enough for me to reach up and tighten up the nuts that are mounting the switches to the cab from the inside.

I just listed 2 Hathor 1203s in the classifieds. Just FYI

 

[steubig]

fwiw, selling a hathor 1506 in the classifieds (los angeles area).

 

[kittywithabanjo]

Welp my hathor 1203 decided not to work last night I am not sure if i have driver or crosover issues, but you can hear a tiny bit of sound out of it.

 

[kittywithabanjo]

Driver blown, thinking the issue may actually be my Demeter HPB-1 800D

 

[nutdog]

Bummer

 

[kittywithabanjo]

I ordered a driver, 400CAD

 

[nutdog]

I’m trying to remember. Was the Hathor off the shelf 3012lf or proprietary like the thunderchildren?

It's an off the shelf 3012LF.

 

[kittywithabanjo]

The one 3012LF ordered, was DOA out of the box, I installed it was getting nothing and took it to someone smarter than I, who first checked and re-sautered a bunch of stuff on the cross over then applied 1.5Amps to the speaker and sorted that it was a faulty speaker,

That’s a bummer. Sorry to hear.
