Wayne Jones!!!

I knew that someone would pick up on that cab being there fast. The only problem is that Wayne Jones himself said that you need at least two of them.

not if my back has to do anything with that... ;)

speaking of which, aaron mentioned that thx to the recessed handles, carry isnt that bad, considering it also has a very low profile. would also fit the trunk of my accord rather easily, too.

and yea, while i'm a little worried about "customer support" and its lack thereof, i'm pretty psyched that i'm finally gonna own a freakin' wayne jones! no less, broken in nicely, and in terrific condition.

and yea, tom, i was hoping my comment would throw you off for at least one day. :smug:

with a battery of preamps and power amps, i'm ready to kick some butt with this little guy. :bassist:

awwwwright Joker....looks like you just added some mo' to yo' bitchin' (cab lineup, that is)...not that you needed it, o' course! :D

Lookin' forward to reading the latest installment of the steadily-growing Joker 210 review archive ... I'm sure I speak for many TB'ers when I say you've been a great help to those wanting to hear how Epis sound vs Accu vs EA vs (soon) Wayne Jones, etc... thanks!

Joker.....Congrats!! They are GREAT cabs....I had the pleasure of playing through a pair not once but twice a couple of years ago and they are TIGHT boxes...I can't comment on the single cab except to say I know that Wayne used to say that you really needed a pair to rock...but why wouldn't he if he could sell a pair instead of a single??

I know that the pair was devastating with an Avalon U5 into a Crown Macro reference amp...(must have weighed about 800 lbs :D thank god I didn't have to carry THAT rack around!!) As far as sound, they are very efficient so 1 may be enough for you, (but I doubt it...LOL!!! :cool: !!) As I recall, you could definitely compare them to the Acmes so I think you will dig it....I would start looking for a second now just in case, though!! :D

I guess it will just be matter of time before TomB will HAVE to have a PAIR of his own!!!!! :hyper: :hyper: :D ....

GREAT SCORE!!!!!!!


Peace,

T

thx Greg,

but i'm pretty sure TomB has contributed waaaay more than i have... ;)

Actually, I really do need to update both of those "shootouts." I have since added enough cabs in both categories to make additional comparisons hopefully meaningful.

Some people have drug addictions, I have a bass gear fetish! Truly, I am just very impressed with the products that some of our top manufacturers are putting out, and it gives me great pleasure to experience them firsthand. Of course, sharing our experiences here on TalkBass is the icing on the cake!

I am really looking forward to hearing what Joker as to say about the Wayne Jones cab. You always do a great job on the reviews, and I trust and value your opinion greatly!

It's a good era to be a bass player!

Tom.

Hi Joker.

Great cab. Looks good to!

Do you have Epifani, Accugroove and Wayne Jones cabs?

I just wondered :)
Click to expand...

well, living around some great shops gives me access to quite a few nice pieces of gear. i have yet to play thru an Accugroove 2x10, which i have a feeling i'd love.

as of now, in the joker stable, i've got a pair of Epifani UL210's, pair of Acme B-1's, an Acme B-4, and soon the Wayne Jones.

finally got it today!

Link Removed

unfortunately, didnt get home from work until about 11pm. i like my neighbors, so, i didnt crank it, but i did try it at a relatively low volume. regardless, the WJ's articulation is UNREAL. sooooooooooo detailed and crisp. reminds me of the old NYC Epifani cabs.

interestingly, against my Acme B2 (which i got a few weeks back), at the lower volumes, with the same EQ'ing on the Aguilar, the WJ doesnt quite sound as full or fat. and the low B isnt nearly as thick.

course, tomorrow, i'll be taking it to a friend's church, where we'll really see how it fares... ;) stay tuned...

jokerjkny said:
yea about so. and yet, the WJ's alot smaller than i envisioned. still, the carry is pretty hefty for such a small little box. lead bricks is an understatement. :hmm:

IIRC it weighs in at somewhere between the Whappo Jr and El Whappo. Or slightly more than an Acme Low-B4.

The question is, is it even heavier than a VL-210?

Au contraire! The real question is how does it sound!?! ;)

It is? ;)

I guess with over 40 cabs in your armoury, compromise is no longer your middle name!

I do think though, that with such huge variation in weight and price between cabs of a nominally similar configuration, it becomes more sensible to compare cabs by weight rather than 2x10", 4x10" etc.

Is anyone making the WJ anymore - last I heard some were being manufactured in Europe under license?
