[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1486753494' post='3234405'] You have to be careful here. Few (if any) bass reflex designs cab reach 103dB 1W/1M. [/quote] True, but it's all relative anyway.. It's 3db extra.. Markbass published the number so I assume if it's crap it's relatively the same crap for all of their cabs

I've also got a bottle of this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mykal-Sticky-Stuff-Remover-250ml/dp/B000TAT4GM - it does appear to do what it says on the proverbial tin.. I have surgical tape on my left thumb which leaves sticky residue behind.. A touch of this with a microfibre cloth and it's gone..

[quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1486731317' post='3234164'] I must admit your (sensible) comment did cross my mind. I'm using a Helix Floor Unit at the moment but I've eyed up a Kemper, or even rack mounted solutions as well.. the BF would at least allow me to get them off the floor or not suspend them on a bar stool or chair..! [/quote] I had a period when I used active PA cabs (classic wedge on a pole type) - and the fact they're not cuboid really really got on my nerves...

[quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1486729035' post='3234144'] Like a pint glass you mean? [/quote] I was thinking more about a rack (not ribs).. My beer lives away from potential electrical entanglement..

Bought a Radial ABY switcher from Pete.. No Muss, no fuss.. arrived very quickly... Recommended to deal with..

[quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1486728137' post='3234140'] I did - but it doesn't offer much more than the FR800 and crucially it's bigger (6" taller) heavier (11lbs more) and rates at 45hz -3db. Was concerned about getting it in the car and lugging about which is what put me off the Line6 L3's. [/quote] And its a much more useful shape for putting things on the top

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1486723648' post='3234073'] Hopefully that's because we caught most of the faulty ones before they went out! [/quote] Hi Alex, I assume he meant generally I've always had great stuff from them, but also I've not bought one for three years, so something may have changed..

And some GENTLE heating as well :-)

[quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1486723791' post='3234075'] Well I'm going to order an FR800. I will let you all know when it arrives! [/quote] Excellent.. Look forward to your report...

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1486721592' post='3234044'] True - but it also goes lower... but with more than a -3dB roll off. I'm not sure you want to be going as low as 42 Hz.. your sound is going to be pretty swampy on stage. [/quote] You'll get no argument from me on that.... I have a thumpinator

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1486717781' post='3234009'] The FR800 is an active version of the BB2. The usable frequency range is the same for both - the difference in the specs is that for the FR800 we've quoted frequency response within 3dB limits, not usable frequency range (which is wider). [/quote] Thus my previous "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fr800 goes to 42 Hz (-3db)." Although my low B fundamental is about 32 Hz.. [/font][/color]

[quote name='Greg.Bassman' timestamp='1486671143' post='3233763'] Cool, definitely reassuring. Essentially, that is what I'm trying to do (replacing my 410 with a single 212). (Excluding the 'ninja') Markbass only offer this 122 as 4Ohmm; I suppose the implication being that it is fine on its own. [/quote] And don't forget that 4 ohms also gives you another 3db over an equivalent 8 ohm cab..

In terms of voicing I'm not sure you can generalise based solely on driver size.. however the fact I replaced two ebs410s with a single 212 should provide some reassurance

I use a barefaced S12t - cutting through is never a problem :-) .. 2x12 is the new 410..

Fr800 goes to 42 Hz (-3db).. drop a line to Alex at Barefaced - I think they do a 30 day trial period..

It's an efficient modern cab (103db/1w/1m) - I don't see how it could not be loud enough with your LM3..

I'm gigging mine on Saturday night as well.... Will report back :-)

It's certainly one of the best small cabs.. The rest is down to a complete list of other factors... Personally I don't like single 12's, and use either a BF supertwin by itself, or a compact/S12 stack.. But as other folk have suggested that may be about getting the speakers closer to my earline..

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1486585603' post='3233084'] Hi all I am looking for a new Jazz bass I have a maximum budget of £400 I have on my radar the Sire Marcus Miller it ticks all the boxes but do you guys know how heavy they are? I also have the Bass collection Jive bass in my sights are they any good? I dont really want a Squier so any thing else or other brands worth looking at as I really do not know much about Jazz basses. I am using an old Vintage brand Jazz bass right now and like it but want some thing a bit better [/quote] They seem to be between 9 and 10 lbs from the info other people have posted.

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1486578923' post='3232998'] It's not a big problem really Alex because the cab only moves from my house to the car, into the gig and back and I'm pretty careful anyway. The BB2 with the Thunderfunk amp continues to get positive comments from musicians and punters alike, that's what [b][i]really[/i][/b] matters. Frank. [/quote] Thunderfunk and barefaced do seem to be a good combination..

You might want to put a cable into the effects send/return... Some chat on basstalk about this.. as recommended already above :-)
