I've got wheels on my 1212.......I'm lazy :D
Aloha Jerry-I just got my shredding SCHROEDER!!!!....4 days ago-my house is still standing -my wife keeps saying "what :ninja: are those new noises the house is making ?"-when I'm playing..... Oh yeah,we're talkin Wheels...my cab came with out casters-I assumed it would have them-any way I wrote an Email to Jorg about my assumption and then he emails me back and says he'll send me a set-then I send him another email telling him that I'll pay him for them, just send me an invoice with the casters-then he sends me an email ,saying dont worry about it-then I send him another email saying ,no way, Jorg ,I pay my way...in fact, I feel owe him a dinner for making such a fine cabinet and don't even waste his time writing back about this,-I'M PAYING for the casters because he deserves to be paid for his good works. Whew! What a great guy :D that Jorg-not only is the Bass world better of because of him,but the universe is a better place....Thanks again Jorg...Peace...DAcat :cool:

I love all the features of the Schroeder...very efficient, small, light, excellent tweet, etc...just couldn't get used to the sound. So I put my 1210 on Ebay today. Hope I don't regret this move, but I bought an Epi 410UL!

Ok, you're gonna need to do an in depth review of that bad boy. GAS is setting in big time for a 410UL over here.

Steve, Epi says it weighs 57#! We'll see. It seems most manufacturers fudge the weight a bit don't they? I know everything I've had has been heavier than what was listed.

The EpiUL weights are accurate in my experience. The 410UL is very, very, very light... almost 'spooky' compared to other cabs, give the sound it puts out.
 
Uhhhh, not so much...
Let's round the 56# epi up to 60, and round the 78# Schro up to 80...that makes the epi 2/3 the weight of the Schro, not half;)

I'm going to seriously look into the Epi because that's almost half the weight of the Schroeder 410.
 
OK, I am trying not to be too overly excited, but I just got my new 21012 this morning and

:hyper: HOLY CRAP!!!!!! :hyper:

I plugged my new Aggie DB659 into the power section of my Yorky xs800h and into my new 21012 and I couldn't believe the improvement in my sound.

I mean I expected it to be significant, but I thought I was playing completely new instruments. Whereas before, my Laky P-Bass with Dark Star was unwieldly and hard to control harmonically; suddenly it is the smoothest sounding bass I've ever played! :bassist:

I realize that my ear is probably nowhere near as refined as most on this board. I've read about the low-mid burps, the Schroeder sound being colored or at least different; and how the Schroeders don't sound that great in the house but wait 'til you get them on a stage.

All I can say is that whoosh sound you may have heard this morning was the sound of one TBers rig GAS being completely released. :) OK, except that I now need another Schroeder for my gig up in Buffalo! But that's easy! I just have to make up my mind which one to get.

I am a happy man! :D

WOW! I just found out Ebay removed my ad for "keyword spamming"! In the title was included....not Ampeg SWR Eden....how many other ads have you seen that did that? Oh well it's relisted now as a 5 day auction. Sorry to get OT.

I've never tried to them in a title. I suppose you probably wouldn't know it happened (or that it was "illegal") if it didn't happen to you.

Geesh, they ought to spend more time on scammers and less time on controlling titles for that! :rollno:

I'd like to hear one of those, too. Did you get to compare it to a 21012 by any chance beforeyou bought it?
No Buffalo Bob,I didn't. I only had a chance to try a 1210 and 410-and I'm sure I would have had a harder time in choosing between the 410 and the 21012. We just finished a practice session with my 410 and it sounded fantastic :D -suddenly the guys in the band are wanting to hang around an play about an hour longer at practice....Hmmmm ;) ....Peace...DAcat. :cool:
