I suppose now the 2012 is out, with all the improvements, these are getting left behind. Which is why I was able to snap up a 2011 Precision from PMT for £785. [/quote] What are the " improvements " ?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1356196039' post='1907866'] This isn't how it works. Port placement makes no odds unless you push them against a wall or the back of the cone shows through. There are a resonant device, and reinforce the low end loading the driver, and the low end is not directional. Plugging ports lowers the tuning of the cab, you don't have to plug them all to mimic the response of a sealed cab, just drop the tuning to below audible. The Barefaced vintage has this option for that purpose. [/quote] +1

You are right dood, the "BBE effect" happens in the high and mid frequencies. I find in gives the mids a little more clarity and adds more top end and you are right about the bass control, it's just a 50hz boost. It's a subtle " effect " if you use the tone controls flat, but the delay process does something to give a subtle improvement in tone. The di 100 does make a great active di with tone controls though. Info here... http://www.bbesound.com/products/manuals/di-100_manual.pdf

Give Mark a call. Remember it's christmas and postal services are running very late and will take a few extra days.

I really have gas for a 5 string Frog. or [url="javascript:window.close()"][/url]

I have the Di100 and use it with great effect. It does change the overall sound for the better, gives it a tighter sound that projects better. The two knobs are really just bass and treble controls but they do work and the di is great too. I use it for live shows as my amp does not have a di.

I have a set of boxed Nordstrand NP4 pickups for £80 posted. They have great punch, power and a hollow grind, perfect for a powerful bass sound.

I would ring Watford valves they will advise you. They are there to help you choose the right set.
