sounds like Will Lee, fits in the back seat, $1000?

[greenbass5]

I'm looking for a portable rig that will fit in the back seat of my car and give me modern J bass sounds like Will Lee with Hiram Bullock playing "Funky Broadway". (There was a link to a youtube clip here but danged if I can find it).
Anyway, maybe start with a LMII because it will fit in my Dub bag. (no, a UL 410 won't fit in my car, wish it would.) I'd like to keep it in the $1200 or less range if possible. I'm looking at used Shroeder 1012L or 1212L's maybe. I have'nt been able to try them but, I suspect that they will be loud enough. Any suggestions here would be great! Thanks!

The LMII's set flat sound GREAT with the Schroeder L series cabs. Contact Brian Barrett (he's on here) as he has this exact rig in his shop in Nashville which is where I first heard it... sounds amazing. Brian's great and will hook you up too!

What about a Bergantino AE410? Very killer cab with the LMII, and it will fit in most cars that the UL410 can't.

 

[greenbass5]

I'm not sure I can get the Berg in my budget. But yeah, I've heard great things about them. I absolutly love my NV 610.

I suggested it because you said your budget was $1200, and the AE410 sells for $1099 at the Groove Shoppe.

Edit: I just realized you are talking about creating a full rig for $1200, not just shopping for a speaker cab. Sorry.

No problem Tony. I love Bergs!

You mean this one?



Back in '86, I believe Will Lee was using Hartke cabs.

The Schroeder 115L+ will totally cop that vibe... totally, with the LMII. The 1210 and 1212, not so much IMO... too much low mid bump and upper mid hole.

Call Jorg and plead with him to hit your price point, and get a 4ohm one!

Yes and GK heads.

...and he endorsed Hartke heads in the 90's.

FWIW, most of what you hear from Will on a TV broadcast is mostly DI.

Along with the squeaky-clean LMII, a very open and crisp-sounding cab is the best bet.

+1.. and LOT's of upper mids

Into an SSL Console no less...It would be hard for my 7 year old daughter NOT to sound good through that signal chain!

Man i love that clip... The tone... Will is the man

 

[jezzamac]

Markbass cmd121p (or 151p) combo?

 

[()smoke()]

wow, that is a great sound for that song!

 

[pickles]

Love that clip ... what an awesome sound. Is that just a stock jazz or was he using a preamp in it by then? What do you recon they used for compression?

Gonna be mighty hard to put together a rig that sounds like that out on stage.

 

[Ezbass]

LMII + Schroe cabs, can't go wrong there.

Love Will's mullet on that clip as well as his awesome chops.

 

[slofut]

Unless you need it really loud, I'll suggest Mesa's Scout 112 (4ohm). Very light for a combo, fits in the front seat, loads of bottom and a tone monster! Also doubles as one bitchin guitar amp. Less than a G used.

That's it!

What a bunch of hacks.....

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I'll go over to Ken's 115L+ thread and read up! I gotta be honest, I never would have thought of a 15 for that sound! Very interesting!
