voxpop

Thanks.... I've just bought revisited so will play it right now.

[quote name='Monckyman' post='1287369' date='Jun 30 2011, 09:56 AM']Thanks all for your replies, we`re getting somewhere now! Voxpop, the crucial question is, did it improve your sound? Alex, if I understand correctly you are saying a filter wouldn`t just passively prevent frequencies above the roll off point getting to the driver, but would distort the response of the remaining frequencies the cab produces unpredictably? Hmmm. I will look into the high pass alternative also. MM[/quote] Yes it dd improve the sound. It sounded like a 2x10 with a sub.... Punch with deep bass.

I did a similar thing with a trace rig some years ago. I had a 2x10 with a 15 and wanted the 15 to just handle the very lowest frequencies. I put in a hand made induction coil from Wilmslow audio with a cut off of 100hz. Only frequencies below 100hz get into the cab. Simply wire it in-line inside the cab. Cost was about £50 if I can remember...... [attachment=83731:DSCN1433.JPG] I made a small box and put the inductor into the cab and filled it with silicon to stop it moving and to deaden down any vibrations.... you can still see some of the silicon stuck to the coil. Hope this helps.

Nice... Big and heavy. Just like my woman!!!!!!

I think must of us are scared at first of such a stange bass but after a little time and effort it really pays off. I prefer playing the fretless now and use it exclusively in my band. It can add a real different sound and feel compared to the usual suspects.

Did a trade with Tom and he is a true gentleman, could not of asked for a better transaction.

You are already an experienced solderer, or have the time and patience to learn how to be one. 2. You have lots of free time that wouldn't be better spent doing something else. 3. You are going to be making up a large quantity of leads, or you need some highly specialised ones. 4. You are looking to save every penny that you can. Otherwise get OBBM to make them for you. You'll get high quality cables which will most likely be made better than you can do yourself and only slightly more than the cost of the materials in the quantities you'll be buying.[/quote] +1 for OBBM cables.

[quote name='Darkglass' post='1282515' date='Jun 25 2011, 09:49 PM']A friend of mine built couple LA2As and 1176 for his studio here in Helsinki... super silly money, but if one can afford it, they're worth it IMO. Super natural and awesome! Nobody has recommended the Demeter Compulator... one of the most transparent out there![/quote] The Demeter is fantasic..... I have one for sale on eBay. Sorry for the plug.

Looks like a V125b head. I had one only a few months ago. It a fantasic head using four EL34 valves giving 125 watts of nice warm valve sound. You can pick them up or around £300 - £400. Only draw back is the crap eq, so use an active bass with good eq or buy a pedal.

Lets give the man a break, he has made an effort on here . when im sure he has better things to do.[/quote] Agree lets close this thread and get on with life.
