Hey Guys,
I use a Sennheiser Digital Wireless and it's the best sounding wireless I've ever used, and I've used some high end Shures and an EV's. I'm an audiophile and I can't tell any difference between it and my guitar cable.
I also have an "AccuGroove El Whappo" I bought a year ago. It has the BEST smooth accurate sound of any cabinet I've ever played through. Whatever your bass really sounds like, the cabinet will let you know if your axe is worth a s___t or not. It's that accurate. If you buy one, take my advice, purchase a road case for it.
Mark is a bass player and plays nights in the San Francisco area. We've become good friends over the phone/emails and I talked to him about how he got to building his own cabinets, how he decided on what size and brand speakers, crossover, special wood the cabinet is made of, other stuff, and specifically about the "Bass Player" mag review.
I've always enjoyed "Bass Player", their reviews and articles, but after talking to Mark, I'm really dissappointed in "Bass Player" and will be more skeptical of their reviews from now on.
Mark told me that "The Mag" had his "Bill Dickens" cabinets for a year and didn't call him for any info or instruction on them until right before the review came out. They were rushed and the call didn't last 5 minutes. Didn't even test the cabinets until right before the review was published. They didn't test the "AccuSwitch" properly so the test results were wrong. They did their test, made up their minds without proper info, and then published. That was unfair and wrong!!
When I told Mark that I had just bought a "Dingwall ABII-5" and should I buy a "Whappo Grande" for the low B, he told me that the "El Whappo" was designed for 5-string basses. He also said that I didn't need to purchase anything else, but recommended that I buy another "El Whappo" if I wanted to move buildings.
I hope that answered some of your thoughts. Any more questions on the AccuGrooves, just ask.
