Hello from the UK!

God dag!

Förlåt - jag pratar inte Svenska. :oops:

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? :D

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!

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.

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... :D

Welcome!
You have some nice looking basses. I really like the Roscoe Beck.

I hope you will get all answers you want about TKS. I've got two tks 112 and is really happy with them.

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.

Gaahh! I love the looks of that Roscoe Beck IV! Has it a P- or J-width neck?
Welcome to PrataBas BTW :-)

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

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.

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!

Lucky me that I prefer P-necks (... otherwise i could have developed serious GAS ...)

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.
