Hmm...interesting ! I'll pm you for a reference name. Cheers Charic.

I have my old Peavey 410tx cab that just needs new drivers. Any suggestions ?

If I changed the cabs and the amp it would all have to be less than £1000 gbp. I was thinking maybe just new drivers rather than complete cabs . Any sugestions ? BW's ?

Incedentally, would C G C F have any adverse effect on the neck once it's set up ? What string gauge would be best for lessening the floppy 'four old boot laces' feel ?

Yep, it does make sense, but I'm not a lover of floppy strings. I'm using my Warwick Streamer, but haven't adjusted the neck for that much of a drop as yet. No way am dropping the tuning on my BB3000. My BB-N4 will be left as standard and just dropped as a back up for gigs, if I take the job.

No, actually they are relatively light. They're Behringer cabs.

Yeah, I was thinking along those lines. They're fine with standard (sensible) tuning but dropping to CGCF has got them somewhat stressed out and none too happy. Tried tweaking the EQ but still not happy with results.

The 15" is a little used 600w Aluminium coned Bugera and the 10's are two Sheffield drivers from my well used Peavey 410tx, rated 700w (program).

Bemused with the tuning ? Yep, me too. Not really looking for extreme bottom end, just don't want cabs that sound 'on the limit'. I'd say nice, round and growly sums up my ideal.

Yesterday I had an audition with a band that use C G C F tuning. Original stuff. Hard rock, but not metal. I've been offered the job, with the first gig on Sept 23rd. I really don't think my 2x10 and 1x15 cabs will cope with a 'full on' gig. I'm using a 20yr old Hartke 2000 (200w) head and the speakers are Sheffield 10's and a Bugera 15. Any suggestions on a more suitable (and ideally not too expensive) set up ?

Just a quicky to say thanks John for a pleasant transaction. The BB3000 is every bit as good as described. Not a mark on it. Even the case is like new. It was delivered next day and very safely packed. Well pleased.

It's not something I'll be adding to my wish list.

I note it has V/P/T/B - I have a 3-band semi-parametric Artec in the drawer I'm thinking of installing. The 2-band Artec I have in my Hohner B Bass Pro is pretty decent. I have flats on my BB415, so I'll put rounds on this. In the meantime, somebody please buy the Peavey Cirrus BXP I have in Sales!!!!!

The shape of the scratch plate spoils it for me.

Whatever you've got, it'll look and sound like a bass to everyone else, and when you're stood on that stage the feel, comfort and ease of playability of your bass is key.

[/quote] Yep, that's how I see it too.

How would one identify a BB1100S as made in Japan or Taiwan. The one I'm currently considering does not have Made in Japan stamped on the back neck mounting plate. Apparently the seller bought it new in the 80's and has always assumed it's a Japanese model as he thinks they were only made in Japan in those days. Is this correct ?
