Hello from the UK!
God dag!
Förlåt - jag pratar inte Svenska.
wateroftyne here - I live in Newcastle upon Tyne in England, not far from the Scottish border.
I've signed up to Prata Bas to hopefully get some opinions on TKS cabs from any English-speaking members, and I thought it would be rude not to introduce myself!
I love Fenders, and I have four:
L-R: 1971 Precision / 1971 fretless Precision / Roscoe Beck IV / 1971 Jazz.
Can you guess what my favourite colour is?
They're all strung with Lakland flatwound strings, and I use a MESA Walkabout head and (at the moment) Bergantino cabs.
I've been playing most of my life, with a lot of different bands. Usually of the acoustic / blues / roots / country variety, but not always.
I recently got the chance to play with Mark Knopfler (a big hero of mine) at a concert that was recorded for DVD. You can see clips here - MK appears towards the end:

Anyway, thanks for listening!

Re: Hello from the UK!
Tommy (the brain and hands behind the TKS speakers) is excellent in speaking english, so you will get most qualified help. He is a member at this forum too.

Re: Hello from the UK!
Cool!
Nice to see you here!
I´m sure that Tommy (founder of TKS) will be more than happy to talk about his cabs in both English and probably also some other languages that I´m sure he speeks fluently...

Welcome to PrataBas!
Nice collection of Fenders you've got there, I'm a bit of a fan myself! Walkabout is my choice of amp too.
I'm sure you can get a lot of information about TKS here, every other member seems to have at least one cab built by Tommy.

Re: Hello from the UK!
Gaahh! I love the looks of that Roscoe Beck IV! Has it a P- or J-width neck?

Hello and welcome!
That is a beautiful collection...
About TKS speakars, they are worth every penny. My 2158 + 1158 are beasts.

Re: Hello from the UK!
Hi wateroftyne, i think we may have had a chat earlier. You are very welcome to PrataBas and as you see, there are lots of people here who can talk about their TKS speakers and who essentially all speak decent English too.

Re: Hello from the UK!
Thanks, everyone! What a friendly bunch you are.
Bassace - the RB is a beauty. I'm lucky to have it. The neck is J width, with an assymetrical profile. It's lovely.
bjelkeman - yes indeed. Nice to talk to you earlier. Thanks for your help!

Nice collection of basses.
I have a TKS 2128 and I am very happy with it. Leight-weight, loud.
Since you are looking for a combination of two 112's I hope you will get feedback from users of that specific combination. But in my experience and opinion, the TKS speakers offer very good value for the money.
