Big E Speakers Part 4 - Quadraphenia

Will be exploring the 109 again on a gig this Saturday. It was amazing at my living room jam last weekend. I have an eye on an 112LPT also, but have yet to reach the volume limit of the 109. The upright really likes it.

So - I don't know much about bans. Are they permanent or temporary?
It would be a real loss to this forum to lose Mike.
I know that much of my recent interest and participation was due to his posts and the knowledge he shared.
 
A website has to establish certain rules, decorum, play nice, don't be a commercial poster pretending to be a common user blah blah blah. Must have busted some nuts. Great Cabs Let the folks hear about them, however the resolution requires. Can't we all just get along?
 
I wish that I thought these rules and policies were enforced even-handedly. I have seen over the years guys continue to skirt these policies, while providing no real educational or valuable resource to the community. So it seems odd that Mike has been banned, given that his input is clearly a huge resource for players on tb, while others weren't. But based on my observations, I can't say that it's entirely surprising.

The owner of TB contacted me and apologized for the ban. I'm back---but to be honest--my heart's not in it!
Keep the info coming here! Keep the faith. your Zen mindset will see you through the petty political BS. I go to faceplant and stuff but there are thousands of actual bass players here. And your cabs are amazing thanks to the inventors and your relentless drive to make them better, well defined, AS TO SCALE AND USE, keep us updated here! I get to multi task here. That's the hook. Sell my stuff, what's the best amp head, what's the best cab? What are we all listening too . Whatever. Broad spectrum user sight. MAS should keep updating on TB My 2 cents. Cool stuff. Another cab designer don't play here no more. IMHO that is cuttin off your nose to spite your face. It's the music. Thank you for enhancing my experience. Just cut through the crap as needed.
