NAMM 2010!!! Whats new?

[mccartneyman]

I hear you.
19mm. spacing would make them killer.
I just can't play there 17.5 spacing.

I would love a 19mm Classic Sting Ray, but I doubt it will happen. Just like I doubt Dan Lakin will ever do 17.5mm fivers. I think both danand Sterling Ball know they have their customers and don't feel the need to grab more with a different spacing.

+1.

For the first time in 20+ years I am Ampeg SVT-less. I did a gig with a 9lb TC Electronics RH450 and absolutely loved it. I went home, took one look at my 85lb SVT-CL, took a couple of pictures and off to Craigslist it went. I haven't looked back and honestly don't miss the Ampeg.

hey, easy pal, let's not get carried away

you know, there are times i'm really glad we have all this neat stuff that simulates tube amps so well. like my band is doing our yearly cruise next week so i'm stuck using the ship's gk/hartke rig, and my vt pedal will be quite the big helper there. but i don't think i could ever sell my ampegs. i keep threatening to go back to the markbass/vt because what turns me on about tube amps is lost on the crowd anyway, but it isn't lost on me and i'm really the only one whose opinion matters. besides, i'll never get another 69 svt with an 810 for $650

having just procured tubes, I concur.

NAMM 2010 was a much more optimistic show than NAMM 2009. It was nice to see peoplel upbeat and having fun!

I have some links to some pics and videos in my sig line. We'll be getting more up, soon.

Are the 210 cabs in this Invalid Link Removed picture the same spec as the 210av, just with a port?

Ah, my bad. No, those are the new Pro Neo line cabs, made in USA (by EAW). We should have those in for review very, very soon.

 

[tom once dead]

any clue on the wattage rateing and frequency handling? Thats the main reason I'm not interested in the 210AV.

Tom, a couple of questions about the new Yamaha BB-series:

What is the string spacing on the 2025? (5-string)

What is going on with the electronics?

The best I can do is point you to this video for now. We will be getting a new "Super BB" in for review, though, and we can of course report back with much more detail once we've had a chance to put 'er through it's paces.

Here is the link to the Yamaha BB video.

OMG, that's an isobaric bass cab in there!!! I've never paid much attention to Orange Amps, but wow... they've suddenly got my full attention!

Got any more info? Pricing maybe? Their site is a little bare...

I hate NAMM... I can't keep up with my G.A.S. list as it is, but then along comes all this cool new stuff... lol

They are not as loud as a "conventional" cab with the same number of drivers, but they do go really freakin' deep, and they do sound like "Orange cabs" to me.

 

[fivestringgecko]

Sweet! Looking forward to the full review.

Since you're "here," happen to have any further info (a.k.a. street date/price) on the new MXR Bass Envelope Filter or Pigtronix EP-2?

5sg.

 

[Surprise Panda!]

Wish I was there

The Apollo 65 Amp looks really neat, too
