Did you play your sweet fretless through them? How did you like them compared to what you're using now Tat?

Only two strings away from an attitude problem.
Why yes....yes I did. And they sounded amazing. Im totally saving up ... but they're going to have to build a cab as tall as me first. They said it could be done though. .... 
Great pic. I'm thinking when they make a 2x12 or a pair of 1x12s I'd be grabbing some, but they'd have to pay me or give me a discount for the logo

OK, so could one of you who knows photoshop please put Tat over Noel's image here?
Most of the bass gatherings are that way, to a minor degree a wank session (don't mean that in the normal negative connotation) where players show off a bit. And the lessons follow suit, focused on flash more than anything else. If you're still early on in the learning cycle you may feel overwhelmed by the supposed depth of their knowledge.
Most of these camps/sessions operate under the assumption that you have basic theory under your belt and are really not designed as good learning experiences for newer players. But they are fantastic networking opportunities, and well worth the cost of admission, IMO....
BTW, was Niño Valenti there? I thought I saw something on FB about that. If he is/was, I hope you all had a chance to check out his basses .... Fantastic basses !!

Nino was there. I hung out with him for a little while. 
played quite a few of his basses. Quite nice. Michael Tobias was there too...and a few others.

That is the logo image moving forward.
Just some different colors. Its part of the brand recognition moving forward and the website is going to get a makeover (steps are in place for that now). The facility over a Berklee are loving it and we love it. So we hope other do as well.

I'm sure once they gain some more recognition, people will proudly display their Rev cabs. I'm impressed they can make a birch cab so light at that price. That's pretty impressive. I'm definitely interested in the 12s once they surface.

BassWave, do you have any clips online of recordings where the Revs are captured with mics? It would be great to hear how they sit in a mix
Lol, thanks bro.
I posted this on FB, and I will put it up here:
I'm going to write this down while I can still remember the experience - My wife and I got to the airfield at around 10:30 am. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. We got through check-in and stood around and waited for someone to guide us into the next step. A friend of ours, Sean , was there trying to fulfill his jump quota to get the next license level. He found out when we were jumping, and shortly afterwards we got geared up. We met our instructors and got a short course in what to do. A few moments later, we were boarding a small plane. Next stop, 12500 ft. The ride up was interesting. I was sitting closest to the "door", which was basically a plexi roll-up. I watched our ascent, and soon, my instructor was adjusting my harness and clipped me into his. The green light flashed, and the "door" was opened. Solid green light. "Holy crap, this is really happening" flashed into my head. Two solo jumpers departed the plane, and I was next. The instructor told me to swing my legs out of the plane..that was the only time that I felt any sort of panic. The instructor counted off - "1, 2 - GO!". We were free-falling. I have a fear of heights, but for some strange reason, I felt safe!! We "flew" by using our hands and arms to direct the air to make us turn. I really really enjoyed the fall. The instructor told me to put my hands back onto my harness so that he could deploy the canopy and even offered that task to me. I respectfully declined. Canopy deploys and suddenly, I felt really heavy..holy crap what a feeling that was. It was brief, and we're now gliding. The visibility today was outstanding..one could see the Catalina Islands off in the distance, and Big Bear mountain seemed to be really close. I found myself looking down more than out. After the instructor adjusted my harness, he had me take the controls. I wasn't expecting that. He showed me how to steer, and started off with some slow, gentle turns. He then showed me how to make fast turns..wooooo that was FUN! The feeling that occurred shortly before the turn actually happened was surreal. You felt suspended for a very brief moment in time, followed by a rapid "whoooooooooosh", and you have made a ninety degree turn. The canopy ride was over too quickly for me..I was actually bummed when I realized that the landing was going to happen. We made it down without any problems, and I was ecstatic. I didn't have to wait long for my wife to make her landing. I am actually bummed that I don't have video.

I used to jump in the days before my motorcycle accident. There are just no words that adequately describe the rush. There just isn't. Very cool DT.
Very cool, DT. Not likely something I'll ever do, so I will content myself to falling vicariously through your experience.
Been thinking about this since yesterday. From an organizer standpoint, I can see their point. Why would a novice spend $500 on a weekend when s/he should be spending it on a year of lessons? (Or books and DVD's...) And could a novice be exposed to enough - let alone learn enough - to derive the value from the expense? Maybe a multi-tier registration is the answer, with less-expensive novice-oriented sessions and a higher-cost 'advanced' (i.e. working pro) level. They'd probably get twice as many attendees - but can they afford twice as many instructors and classroom spaces? I donno. I'll tell you this, I think they need a lot more 'stuff' in the Expo. I came with a shopping list and went home with a $15 CD.
I have no regrets about making the trip but it only cost me half a day and some gas.
Gerald Veasley was asked point blank by a friend of mine about whether this would be too much for a beginer. His answer was that he had people buy a bass on the way to the event and that beginers do fine here. I was seriously concerned about whether or I should go until he said that. That is why a novice like me went. For the record, there were people there that were not as far along in their playing as I am. I gave it a shot, I'm not sorry that I did. They have four levels. Beginer, intermediate, advanced intermediate and Advanced. There were instructors who geared their class plan to each level and there was at least one instructor who did not. I was bothered that an instructor ignored the classifications and used the identical class plan for all four classifications.
My health issues and the fact that I hadn't seen my fiance Jackie in two weeks had as much to do with me leaving early as my feelings about the curriculum.

based on discussion with basswave and David, I believe they are 8-ohm cabs but the Revsound website says 4-ohms so it is a little confusing.
The most attractive option for me on the Revs would be to get a 210 and put a 110T (don't need two tweeters) on top of it. That would be 3x10 @ 4 ohms and would produce a lot of punch at a relatively low price, plus it would be easy to transport and carry. (They're very light.) I wish I could test them out myself though in an environment other than a hotel expo. In a perfect world I'd make a field trip up to New Hampshire which is not a bad idea anyway.
The other cabs I'm looking at are the Baers. They seem to be what I'm looking for sound-wise but I can't decide on the ML 112 vs. the ML 212. Seems like a lot of people go with two of the ML 112s and use either one or both as needed, but that's a pretty high-cost option (for me). The 212 looks awesome but it's too much for a lot of the gigs I play.
Hi CWB peeps! So many posts since I last logged in. I want o say a lot of things but can only recall a few.
Anyway, Tat the new bass looks amazing on yo. MB your soon to be new bass is Al's gorgeous.
For all of you who made it to BBC, congrats. Would have been a great weekend and I would liked to have been there. Maybe next year when MB will teach a lesson or two to the instructors!
Drummer, be well. Hope you and Jackie were able to spend some quiet quality time together. Gotta try and sleep now.

I will do what I can to address some of the Revsound questions in a single response. Please anyone feel free to PM me at anytime. I sometimes might take me a bit, but I always respond.
The 110T 210T combo appears to be a Berklee favorite, but we know that is not for everyone. If you see a T at the end of a model name that means it has a tweeter (otherwise it does not) any model can go either way of course.
The ohmage mentioned on the site is regarding older drivers that came in a couple of different ohmages. This updated drivers do not, but we feel are superior.
As far as 12s
It looks like Celestion and Dave have the right design now for the application (third time the charm I guess
) however they are not in the States yet (to be honest we are not sure when). Based on that Revsound will eventually have the following.
RS112T
RS212T
RS322TP (Custom request only that pays tribute to the Berg 322 with 1 (12) and 2 (10s) with a tweeter for course).
