Big E Speakers Part 4 - Quadraphenia

[spiritbass]

Aah, that felt good. I just got done giving myself an all-over body massage by sitting about five feet away from my 112 powered by my Shaw cranked all the way to three. This combination delivers sweet sounding body-punches from low to medium to crazy-loud.

It's amazing how therapeutic that can be, isn't it? I just got done doing the same thing, but with much cheaper gear. It still felt good though. I've only got 30 watts but I've fallen in love with tube amps again. Can't wait for my 112LPT, but it's still a few weeks out. That Shaw/112 combination must be amazing.

Before I posted the above I had 'or any good tube amp' in parentheses, but took it out. Tubes sure can bring some glorious, muscular tone!

The 109 shines on gig again, especially on upright. I've struggled to get even string response from my current bass. The D is very loud. This cab really is helping even things out a bit.

And that single 10 is carrying the band with ease...

Missed the FedEx truck today. Think I feel a fever coming on. May have to call in sick tomorrow

 

[MarkA]

Cool to hear.

Re. the bass, do you encounter that unevenness acoustically, or just plugged in?

Just curious if anybody else is using an F deck (or other) high pass filter with their MAS cabs. I always used mine in the past, but Im not convinced that my flex 210 really needs that kind of filtering.

 

[JBNeedsBeer]

So, while I wouldn't want to do so regularly, the MAS115 (barely) fits in the backseat of a 97 Honda Accord. Practice and gig report to come on Saturday!

Also, per Mike's advice, the bottom handle was a lifesaver for loading it into my car.

 

[ric426]

I wonder how it would perform if you left it in the back seat and just rolled the windows down to use it. Probably wouldn't do much for the dispersion.

 

[JBNeedsBeer]

Honestly, this thing looks like it would shake apart my car if I tried to plug it in

I have one and it goes with me in my miscellaneous gear box. I usually carry it in case my gear might be used by another player at a gig.

So I got my MAS112 w/Faital 4ohm today and WOW! There's not much I can say that you guys don't already know. Still haven't had that much time with it of course.
I've been testing it with a Demeter 201 and a Fatboy DI with a Stewart 1.2. Tomorrow Ill have a Low End True Voice.

I'm relieved at how small it actually is. It looks bigger in the photos to me.
Well, I better get back to breaking this thing in

Cool waiting for your gig review!

I don't know that it's necessary either, but I run with an Fdeck set to the lowest (35hz) setting...

 

[JBNeedsBeer]

Initial impression of the MAS115 - wow. Even in a room too small for the cab, it is seriously impressive. A great big box of awesome. Easy to move, easy to lift at 90 lb. I'll give a proper review tomorrow after the gig and I get to hear it from the audience side as well.

spiritbass and mtngrown,

Do you notice any adverse affects on your tone as a result of running through the Fdeck?

Obviously it cleans up the low end, but is there any detriment that you notice?

Not at all.

Not at all.

Same. I remember Mike liking them when he first tried one. Have you heard from him yet?

Is this where I sign up for the support group?

A phone conversation with Mr. Arnopol on Wednesday afternoon resulted in cash escaping from my bank account....the wait begins. Really looking forward to the arrival of my new MAS112!
