Never Ordering a Schroeder Cab Again

[Munjibunga]

We also don't know the tone of the OP's communications with Jorg.

 

[jnewmark]

It would have been if he had followed up on the OP's inquiries. Instead, the OP has been sitting on this issue for months with no apparent responses from the manufacturer. The ball was dropped.

First of all, we don't know Jorg's side of the story. Second of all, the ball is now in play, namely the rig is, as far as I can tell from the OP's posts, ready to go, but he chooses not to try it. What's more important here, the OP's hurt feelings, or getting the rig going he wanted in the first place ? He's in for a lot of disappointment in life if its the former.

Agreed... however, I would hazard a guess that Jorg has been made aware of this thread through the various users of his equipment in this thread. It would be good if he would chime in.

Folks been dealing with Jorg over many years, and have always had great service and accurate info from him.
Even called about having a blown tweeter, in which he replaced for free. Even sent wiring diagram pictures to me before.

So it's hard for me to believe him as being unscrupulous. In fact, Jorg goes out of his way to help players. After all he is a Bass Player too. His cabinets utilize quality components, in fact, I am a real fan of B&C drivers that he uses, and think they are a better driver than Eminence or Faital, used by so many other manufacturers.

Just saying, I have always been treated right by Jorg.

Lack of response from the manufacturer has put him off the product. Bad taste in his mouth. Simple as that. How long should he have to wait to use a product that has been long paid for and sitting idle? I'd be selling the stuff as well!
And, from the OP's point of view, what happens should he require service on these cabs? So far, form what we have been told here, he would have to assume that he would get little to no response from the manufacturer. I'd be cutting bait as well.

Yeah I totally understand what you're saying in fact last week I went to the hardware store and bought a hammer but I can't get it to drill holes it won't drill holes them sunny beaches are to do something about it they are to make it right my hammer won't drill holes. A travesty has taken place.

I could understand if the cabs didn't work if there was a quality issue. He bought 4 ohm cabs he got 4 ohm cabs he paid for 4 ohm cabs and the cabs actually work what the heck is the big deal?

If I was Jorg I wouldn't come within a hundred foot of this thread.

Ok, now that is nonsense and I would think that you know it. He bought the 2nd cab at 4 0hms and was told a box would solve him minimum 4 ohm problem. The OP can't get the box to work. He has been left without a solution for months. Where does a hammer come into it?
I'm done here.. gonna go sharpen my hammer.

He hasn't even tried it !

When you buy something from anybody, it's a good idea to whatever you both agree to in writing.


There's only 4 screws on the magic box. OP isn't going to try it, or open it and take a pic. Sounds like the OP doesn't want the truth. Just wants to vent about how he's been wronged.

Either way my hammer won't drill and I'm pissed in fact I'm furious.

I think what he's really frustrated with is his own ignorance. I know how that feels because I have felt that way before 2 then so stupid and so angry I think that's where we're at with this deal my carburetor won't inject so therefore the world is coming to an end and I only eat blue fruit so take that.

To me Common Sense means looking at the fact that the only threads or postings you have had at Talk Bass we're against Schroeder.

Common sense says you have contributed nothing to the community and your sole reason for posting here is to grind your axe.

Common Sense tells me to take that with a grain of salt.

why such vitriol?
The OP gave his side.
Jorg has by now been told about this thread and has chosen not to give his side.
You have your experiance and the OP has his.
Now we can all do with this information what choose.
Pretty simple stuff.

Did the guy at the hardware store tell you that your hammer would drill holes?

 

[trickyric]

Disagree, in fact, the OP has already used the two cabs and his bandmates like the 15/8. Nothing wrong with the cabs. The box he was sent for FREE, is a series box that needs a different speakon connector to work, but OP does not want to even try it, now that he understands what is exactly needed.

Nothing is really free. It was part of the deal. It would be like me selling you a car and throwing in the steering wheel for free.

How do you know Jorg has been told, and has chosen not to give his side? Awfully bold statement to make without any proof whatsoever.

It may have been part of the deal, but he certainly could have charged for it. It's like buying a bass and having the seller throw in the case for free.

 

[trickyric]

Sorry, but no.
Jorg was telling him to get 2 4ohm cabs instead of 8's. The selling point was that he was giving him a box that would make it all work.
No box and the guy doesn't buy it. He was lead to believe this package was the key. It's not a package without the box.
Sorry, you analogy is wrong.

Disagree. He had the first cab, and used it for some time. He then wanted to order another cab, when Jorg threw in the box to make it work. AND THE BOX WORKS in allowing him to use both cabs. We can throw analogies at each other all day. Bottom line, he got what Jorg said he would get. Now, the OP chooses not to try it. Simple stuff, no ? And please tell me how you know Jorg is aware of this thread and chooses to not to participate in it ?

Is it a hammer-drill or just a hammer? You can buy chissel like gizmos that you hit with a hammer to drill stone. You're going to get tires if it's a little claw hammer.

From the original post -
" I ordered a 15x8 cab from Jorg at Schroeder, approx 8 months ago. Initially, I wanted an 8 ohm cab, as to potentially utilize with a second cabinet. Jorg encouraged me to go with a 4ohm cabinet. He claimed he had a "box" that would enable me to run both 4ohm cabinets at a 4ohm load. He said he would include the box for free."
He had nothing. He wanted an 8 ohm cab. After discussing with Jorg he was sold on the 4ohm.
Now this all may be true or not.
However if we are working on the premise of what the OP said, he was sold on the 4 when he originally wanted an 8.
