Think that if the amp is rescueable then tracking down another speaker from Jim bergantino might be a better bet. I'm half tempted to explore it further

if it were me...... secondhand japanese. and does it need to say "Fender" on it, it get even more exciting if it doesn't

I think it depends what the Eq is doing - there is part which is fitting into the room, and another part where the Eq/Eq setting gives it's own character to the tone of the bass.

[quote name='triggno9' timestamp='1409605283' post='2541524'] The crazy8 is £360. Pete. [/quote] that's a great price! can i ask how much a F112 is, PM me if you want

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1409154458' post='2536899'] Aluminium is not stiffer than steel and was used for loudspeaker chassis long before neo came along. [/quote] like comparing a steel and aluminium framed bike. Heat dissipation isn't as much of an issue on my push bike - but you can literally feel the difference with how they behave. [quote name='budget bassist' timestamp='1409524872' post='2540616'] I have another question - I've been using WinISD and some other online speaker dimension calculators, and they're all throwing up rather large box sizes in order to get the optimum sound for a specific speaker, which I understand. But how are all the manufacturers using such tiny enclosures and still getting a good sound? I'd like my cab to be as small as possible really, I just don't understand how they're doing it. [/quote] Bill FM will possibly maybe turn up and say that they're not! .... just a question... have you considered buying the plans for bill's simplexx 10? he'll have done all the design work, tuning, crossover design and testing for you....of course half the fun for you might be doing it yourself in which case ignore me! and also the 3 musketeers on here are making a 1x12 with quite a low price (non neo) driver - which looks like a good build too

[quote name='Bradwell' timestamp='1409502780' post='2540259'] Two 410s would be ideal as I can leave one at home and one in the band's secret underground facility ([b]dank basement[/b]), bung the amp head in the car and have both for gigs if necessary. Not too interested in 810s for practicality reasons and low resale values. [/quote] I don't think speaker coils like dank.... BTW... there's part of me who thinks you're a wee bit daft - £1500, esp secondhand could get you an amazing rig... I would start by asking what exactly do you want... what do you want to sound like. then ask how loud do I need to be. then ask how light does it need to be. and then figure out which of the last two are more important

I'm running a ACME B2 cab which is very flat and full range - so I actually tend to have the cab sims turned on. The church I play at has gone all in ears with no back line - the bass often sounded odd through the FOH - the Hellborg gave this amazing full warm clean tone - but in the mix the humps and bumps of a cab (plus the gentle top end roll off) was missing - using the B3 as DI into the PA is great. At the moment I've been liking the Aguilar sim with it's cab, or the B15 for a bigger fatter bottom for less rocky songs. Today I was finding the hartke amp with the aguilar cab sounded pretty good too.

I hear the designer is a basschatter....

makes me wonder what it is now! btw - if you've a car m62 manc-leeds-hull is quite a quick road if your avoid busy times

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1409265988' post='2538242'] BEWARE... the experts assure us there is no difference but 'some of us' think there is a conspiracy! [/quote] sign you're getting old John!

you can set it i think.

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1409174381' post='2537213'] Nice. As a recent convert to old Yams, I couldn`t be happier. [/quote] +1 also recently picked up BB1200 is a cracker

the support section of warwick's website has diagrams of the electronics - the part is a B500K push pull part number i've found is M81 SP003 but I think that is the version with a circuit board attached to it. You need to make sure that the pot is long enough to go through the wood . also you sure it's the pot that's the problem not the actual electronics themselves?

any of them... and use your B3 as a preamp.... effect in of the GK fusion bypasses the front end (so I'm told)

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1408868869' post='2534099'] Surely it is beneficial to us as prospective customers who base our decisions to use ANY company on the input of those who have already used it, to hear both sides of the story? [/quote] If it's a large amount of money you are about to spend then maybe read the posts and PM the people who's opinion you want? Beyond the obvious legal implications for the mods theres the problem on internet forums that one person with an axe to grind, or even a genuine problem and the ability to write well can turn opinion totally one way - sometimes beyond what is reasonable. If you have say an amp that fails mid gig... depending who the user is that could either be something you never hear about, or something that is drummed up to such an extent that half the bass players in the world know that brand X is unreliable rubbish.... which isn't really fair is it? (esp when Jon isn't around to give his side of the story) There's enough about Jon on here from the last few years that you can read, maybe PM a few people and ask, talk to Jon about your order if you want and form your own opinion based on that.

that's pretty awesome - looks great too!

do you think mark bass or someone could be convinced to put a switch on their amps to disengage the EQ and put a hard limiter on so that amps used this way wouldn't be damaged at all? the idiot switch....
