So let me say this...I've only ever used an 810 in a DOOM situation once before and the cab was on the other side of the stage so I never really heard it well enough. So when I first plugged in and riffed a bit it wasnt exactly what I was expecting. It does that low mid pummel exactly like I thought, dark and very round sounding. What I was surprised with was the volume output, I was expecting a lot more, especially having more than twice the speaker area as most of my other cabs, but my idea of a loud cab might be a bit skewed because my other cabs could be equally or more loud than an 810. The EVM 215 is probably a bit louder but some of that could be perception because of the mid range differences of the two cabs. It's definitely a way different style of cab than I've used thus far.
Also I noticed between my high output P bass and my low output ric, there is some high roll off with the hotter pickup, is that a normal thing?
Physical condition wise, the rat fur covering is more like a carpet and it isn't as bad as I was lead to believe. The grill is uglier in person and will probably be burned. All speakers work fine but 3 of them have been ripped/damaged and ghetto fixed.
Two piece wise, where I'm not competing with a guitarist, the cab sounds great and is definitely a better suited cab than the EVM 215. The real test will be with the whole VEGA mix, but I'm thinking the results will be similar.

EVMs are really, really loud. Just saying. I'd put my EV 15B equipped 2000S cab up against an 810 for pure volume.
And yeah, it's normal for higher output pickups to have more high end roll off. Even without the bass cutting capacitor on the bridge pickup, 60s and 70s Rickenbackers are a little brighter than today's for that reason. Some people prefer that, some don't.
Prop 65 at its finest.
Yeah, it could be the solder, could be any number of things really.
As an example there are products that contain items that must be labeled similarly, but actually pose less risk than breathing the air in LA.
While I'm generally for such things, I think it's silly to say "this contains SOMETHING that could be bad for you." Why not have them label specifically what that something is? Like instead of a vague "chemicals known to cause blah blah blah," say "contains freon" or whatever the chemical is.
With food, we don't go "this contains things SOMETHING that might cause allergies." We go "this product contains peanuts."
It is truly ridiculous. I work in regulatory, and I am all for regulations protecting consumers. My stance is even considered radically conservative by most of my colleagues. Even I think Prop 65 is overstepping its bounds.
I don't think it's ridiculous, just poorly worded. I'm generally for regulations. But that's the problem with the proposition system. Propositions can be well-meaning but poorly worded.
Welcome to California, where people wants there to be signs on everything telling you about some academic fact that will never in reality be a danger to you, but nobody seems to care about the severe drought or any of the other immediate threats to our health and safety. We put a sign up on this cupcake shop that something in it might give you cancer though (if you smash open the back of the fridge and huff the fumes or start eating the insulation), so everyone can sleep soundly tonight.
I dunno, I've been at lots of restaurants lately that won't give you water unless you ask for it.
Damn so the dude 86ed himself? Or did he survive? I can only imagine how traumatic that must be for you and the witness.
810 dirty and 215 clean is how I'll be running my rig. 4 pro into the 810 and my Eden 550 into the 215 maybe with another 2 115s for a nice clean and tight lowend.
I'd actually go the opposite, if I was running a stereo rig. 810 for big clean sound, 215 for nasty ganky overdriven midrange.
Nature of my job I've seen stuff like that before. It was shocking that it happened. S***** that he did it in front of someone. But it wasn't surprising. I'm just glad he didn't take anyone with him. Or do it in front of any of the neighbors kids. He didn't make it though. Put a bullet in each lung. That's a hard way to go. Not quick or painless.
Whoa. Each lung?
Sounds like he felt he really needed to suffer as he died. Maybe some sort of self-hate/guilt thing.
The new Corpse f-ing rips!
Meh.
Oh holy poopie. At least the OP is on the ball.
Why Talkbass? Why?!!
(edit)
I'm even more disappointed now. I was reading along the first few posts, and things seems almost reasonable. Then **BLAM SMASH BOOM** Trainwreck!
I didn't read that far. Bunch of homophobes saying horrible poopie about gay people?
Yeah, I should have known better than to have read past the first few posts haha.
I didn't read past the first post.
I think
@mc_muench should drop some Peavey Kvlt pix in there for the hell of it.
That would be amazing.
I saw this thread minutes after it was posted and I thought to myself, "You should post here. For the sake of your gay best friend and the forward progress of humanity, you should post a comment." Then I thought about your exact sentiment and I figured I would just dodge the bullet and continue to be an upstanding, equal rights supporting bassist without the need for internet moral (self) validation.
Maybe we should ALL just hijack the thread with rig pictures. No text, just a photobomb of DOOM rigs.
We should, if it gets reopened.
I read through 3 or 4 pages after I let it stew for a while. I became supremely disappointed in the TB community and became extra grateful of the level of involvement I have carved into the S/D community. You guys rule, those dudes suck. And I have also gathered a list of people I would probably tell to pound salt if they responded to a classified ad.
Share your list with me, so I know who to tell to shag off if I ever sell anything on here?
Well I'm reading that whole wedding thread as it's hilarious.
There's several dudes who seem to think the weddings in question will just be a sea of dudes in pre orgy mode... Instead of you know people at a wedding.
It's weird how some of the incredibly anti gay create the most grandiose overly sexual ideas in there totally not gay heads and assume their fantasy is a reality of being gay.
Gay weddings are pretty much exactly like any other weddings. Lesbian weddings are the best weddings, because of maximum cuteness.
And yeah, a lot of homophobes seem to have this really far out idea of what LGBT folks are actually like. It's weird and creepy.
I saw that thread as a good opportunity to share Chris Kluwe's letter from a couple years ago. I'm sure that will go over well.
Chris Kluwe's letter?
I also enjoyed the people who were *trying* to make a justifiable argument that playing a gay wedding would somehow brand them as supporters of homosexuality. I don't understand this argument as I have a feeling 99% of the people that would be attending the wedding and thus compromising their audience are probably supporters of homosexual rights. Also I doubt many people who they might lose potential gigs from would be in attendance at a gay wedding.
My guitarist in my folk/rock band is straight edge and vegan.
We often play at bars.
Sometimes at pubs.
Probably not a bad idea. She'll hate you soon...
Maybe, maybe not. Seems more like girls hate their mothers during their teenage years moreso.
Funny enough she was really happy hanging with us at the Oakland studio... Issue there is no bathroom. Will debate this till it's time to go.
Lol, is it Rehearse America? The bathroom there was broken for a while. The toilet wouldn't flush. It was gross.
Gator dude is a cray cray hater
Gator dude?
