Biz Prof Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Looks like a nice one; I will eventually procure a 611 for gigging. Geoff W. (Zenmindbeginner) and I concurred on the observation that in the Centaura of the early '90s, the vintage spec SSL-1s were horribly mismatched to the fire-breathing JB. Not sure why that combo became a common OEM set. Edited November 7, 2022 by Biz Prof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGale Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) I used to try and match HBs to the singles, obsessed about it for an inordinate amount of time. I currently have a MongooseT in the bridge of my 812V, mated with SSL-1s. I had to lower the bridge a bit to get it to play nice, but so far, so good! The slug coil ended up in phase with the middle pickup, the addition of which, tames the beast .. somewhat. Some interesting tinklys in dere. ETA: I tossed the JB that was in there soonest.
