How many people here are using their Schroeder cab for something that the traditional Hi-fi stuff? Any users pairing them up with any tube heads for rock/metal stuff? I'm really interested in a Schroeder 4x12 for these purposes, and figured I'd get some opinions before I get the chance to drive down to Murfreesborro to visit Brian at the Low End and try one out.

Also, how difficult is it to get a custom grille cloth on one of his cabs?

You should email Jorg via his website. He is great at giving advice about his cabs and he does do custom cab work to his existing line (within reason I assume). Super nice guy too.

I'll also add that I use a 1212R for Roots Rock type stuff (think Folsom Prison Rocked up or check out my sig.. although those recordings are direct to the board using a Demetre DI) with my P bass and flats.

Hello! Can I have a number please? Been a long time user...started with a 1210R that I upgraded to a 410R....which I traded for a 1210R (again...)...which i sold when I got my new 410L Rhino.....now having a 1212L to be delivered any day now. I have been thinking about a 12mini but am really indecisive as people say they sounds very "boxy"...is it true?

anyway, enclosed a pic of my 410R and my beloved Ampeg SVT-4 Pro (now sadly sold...).

I made some *okay* recordings with my laptop. Use the audacity program (great shareware program). I simply plugged a shure sm57 into the mic input on my laptop, opened the program and hit record.

edit: you need an XLR to 1/4 adapter and a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter to make the connections.

Hey Bassist-I really enjoyed your bands music from "Memphis Radio"-sounds like you guys are having a great time ...sounds actually quite abit like our band,though we're a little more "Dylanesque"-with a "Frisellian Blues Twist" in addition to our Memphis Roots. Excellent recordings as well...studio or at home?? Peace...DAcat :cool:

Thanks DAcat. Those recordings were done in a studio by Paul Baker. He's worked with some decent acts and used to do the music for all the Chris Isaak shows that were made up here. He's now working on 2010 Olympic projects. Super nice guy and quite good at his craft.

Before the album was recorded it was originally going to be called "Live Off The Whiskey Floor". Our bandleader uses the word 'whiskey' when a song is played a little 'loose' shall we say. The idea is that we wanted a live feel for the songs and didnt want it over polished and produced. So we recorded 3 takes of each song and simply picked the best one, which was almost always the last, and moved on. It only only took us 4 hours to record all 9 tracks. The singer re-did some vocals, but aside from that we didn't touch it. I was very surprised that it turned out so well.

Dylanesque is very cool. Do you have a myspace link etc?

Bassist-Hey...you may not believe this, but the first thing I thought of when I heard your recordings was..."Chris Isaak" :hiding: ...there is just something bright in the way his producer records the guitar and the overall mix that's really fine! Yeah... it really does have a nice live feel-but loose too, but you guys are obviously a tight band. Our band is just getting up to speed in the whole recording thing...not a computer head among us, and we'd all prefer to play music than learn "recording softwarese"...though we are slowly coming... kicking and screaming, and being drug into the new age. I'm taking the lead & am trying to set up a recording studio in my basement...but, I've been besiged with a Windows Vista nightmare this past year... trying 3 different recording interfaces only to find there was something inside the programs that was incompatible with Vista...and only finally just got my Cakewalk Sonar Downloaded after a couple months of trying almost daily working with Cakewalk and Dell and Windows...finally a friend who was a computer tech installed it for me...maybe I just don't have the right kind of brain for this computer-recording stuff-too right brained. And, I guess we're just too cheap to pay for studio time, because at this rate, I don't think we could ever make any thing sound near as good as Chris Isaak's Producer did on your songs ...maybe I'll just go back to playing music live...and stop getting frustrated...In any case...nice job on the recording...Peace...DAcat :cool:

Actually, it wasnt too expensive to record. Under a $1000 I believe since we didnt use too much of the studios time. I think Paul charges $75 an hour. We've tried using guys who are a bit less pro with their own in-house studios etc. They were alot cheaper per hour, but because they weren't as good, it took a lot longer to get an acceptable recording. Therefore the 'cheaper' guys ended up costing more money in the long run. I should also mention that I dont think Paul Baker is Chris Isaak's producer, so to speak, but Paul is the guy who did Isaaks recording on the Chris Isaak show. I know thats sort of splitting hairs, but I didnt want to be misleading. Funny though, since our bandleader is a big Chris Isaak fan and his style is somewhat similar.

Regarding your basement studio... I feel for ya. Computers can be a real pain in the a**. It is rewarding when you finally have it all figured out and get a nice final product.

Hey Bassist...Wow...that was very affordable- When I think that all the hours that I've spent setting this up,my time isn't very valuable in terms of recording time...like .50 per hour maybe!!!! I'd better off finding someone like Paul-and do what I enjoy more...thanks for the tip....Watch for a PM. :ninja: :D Peace...DAcat :cool:
