Mr. Foxen

If you made the vintage a couple of inches deeper, would it make it go lower, or would it just toally mess up the port tuning? And as a small run builder, is that the sort of shenanigans that are possible?

So what the F numbers mean then?

[quote name='Protium' post='461537' date='Apr 13 2009, 08:58 PM']Trying not to sound like a dick here but - Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the cabinet Frequency Response: The frequency response of the cabinet Maximum Output: The maximum output of the cabinet For me I'm reading the description of the cabinet being the loudest, lowest, lightest, etc etc and then there are no specs put up to back up the statements. IMO [/quote] I think the point is, under what circumstance are you measuring those things? Especially frequency response, that means pretty much nothing unless you have a lot of parameters, a graph as posted previously is probably the best you are going to get, even then you need two as it changes depending on where you are, and what the cab is on, and the room.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='461234' date='Apr 13 2009, 02:23 PM']The problem is that the qualities required of a driver to run to low frequencies at high output in a small box also result in a very low midrange output, demanding a midrange driver; the Acme cabs are an example. That adds to the cost of the cab, as do woofers with extremely high excursion and power capacities, which runs counter to the desires of both the consumer and manufacturer, both wanting to spend as little as possible.[/quote] That Ampeg isobaric cab with clamshell 15s and 2 10s on top, with modern lightweight drivers, would that be awesome? Its main problem was dreadful weight I recall, the 10s do the midrange, the 15s do the low, and the neo does the light.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='460718' date='Apr 12 2009, 07:30 PM']However I bet an Ampeg 6x10" couldn't handle the 2000W force of my power amp like the Big One did last night! Alex[/quote] I've generally found big ones can handle a fair bit of force.

If you can be patient, pick up all the parts second hand, so they retain their value, if you take them off and sell them again. Its generally what I do, except for the selling them part. I just have a room of weird frankenbasses.

Get something with a Darkstar in.

Wanna make an offer for mine? Looks like my rig might be moving back in with me for a bit, could do with freeing up some room.

I spend some of my unemployed time scraping a neck thinner to fit a body, ended up with such a tight neck pocket by it was ludicrous amounts of time to do.

[quote name='nick' post='453419' date='Apr 3 2009, 03:16 PM']Mmmm...you could try the Behringer, cheap. Had one myself, before getting a Boss. TBH wish I hadn't sold it, as I found it tracked better than the TU-2, though obviously no way near as robust.[/quote] Really? I have a TU-2 (suspect bought at same time as your one originally) and it tracks down to my low A without trouble. Its in chromatic mode, not the spinny light mode.

Saw a guy playing an EB3 through Chiseerkinds ampeg stack, sounded so nice.

Singer has quit, and guitarist is looking like he's knocking it on the head, so in order to justify my huge rig, parts of which I've just dropped off for servicing hours before hearing, I need a new band. Check sig for what I currently do, I have good gear but no transport.

Might be interested in the P neck.

Theres as much wood in a Wishbass neck as there is in most small bodied basses, I've played a few now and they are all very lively feeling.

[quote name='Gothicontheloose' post='458000' date='Apr 9 2009, 12:10 AM']Well... They look great ... Really great... But the resonance must be like crap with some of them... :S[/quote] Why would that be? They are all though neck and through strung, pretty much ideal for resonance, and the slotted headstock gives a steep break angle over the nut.

Wishbass. Ain't no good having a fancy bass if I can't afford it.

How you gonna turn it on and off without a pedal?

Room dynamics and simply turing up the amp doesn't necessarily mean the same sound but louder. Its a problem I had lots when I first joined Caricatures, awesome sound from my pedals in my room, turn up to practice and it vanishes.
