Just received this email from, a know UK company. 

Worth a look 

Thats one sweet cab, fella, with a fifteen under her, the skys the limit ....... all of BFM designs work very very well, at that price a snip too... someones going to be well pleased...... also now a discontinued design as to tricky to build, replaced by the Jack 10/12 , so its got rarity value built in..... !!!


some of my other BFM builds and diarys are here, [url="http://s351.photobucket.com/albums/q464/thylacine23/"]http://s351.photobucket.com/albums/q464/thylacine23/[/url]
good luck..





This is my latest, a T39 sub with OT15 top, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice...

Top Man,!!!!! great comms, a real pleasure to deal with, sound as a pound,,,,,, "he drank all my tea, too."
keep us posted with BFM 015 LowBoy and how you get on, with it.... Cheers Mark

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='517204' date='Jun 18 2009, 10:10 AM']This looks very well built. Got to be worth £350 of anyone's money...[/quote]


I bet I spent well over that on parts, LOl.....

Hi,
its gonna be a Titan39, with 2x12s inside, for that sub low end,!!!!! and a OT12 ontop with necked horn, for the mids.....Nice......

Also, two quite really easy builds, "its in the plans", I cannot recomend BFM enough, all the plans are complete with all you need to know, inc schematics for filters, and plans to make a saw guide, you just follow the instructions ....

However, the real fun starts, when you use it, them.... UNREAL !!!!!!!

The first one I made was a AUTOTUBA, basicly a folded sub horn for the car, using a real cheap 8" driver, the results blew me away, "that dont happen very often to me now",,, driven by a S/H 50watt amp, it sounds far better than alot of twin 12" sub boxes, that cost five times as much, I kid you not, and I luv my ice !!

So I then made the 015 LowBoy, shortly followed by a 015 TallBoy, which is my main rig now, for the mo at least... I always get a great sound from either and loads of intrest when in use,,,,,

,,, Personaly I love the look without the full grill, its different somewhat...

I find making them a real pleasure, the only bit I dont quite like so much is the carpeting, cause the spray glue stinks big time,,,,,,, arrchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Ive just also been given, a nondescript 15" bass speaker, Lies, its a S/H used, wharfstale Circa.2005 I think.

which i shall be making a 0mniTop 15 for bass, out of too, soon. using cheap 5ply and painted, as a bass cab 15 bottom, just to abuse and show to others, the sheer sound quality for so little money,
I shall be posting that as a build thread when I start, cheers, Mark

Have since built a 015 Lowboy, with comp horn, !!!!!!!!!!

just the best sounding cab on the planet, ??????????

Heres my review on UPS, Thought Id try em, as the drummer I play with works for them, says their good,and appear to be a pro company, ect, and they do charge a bit,!!!!!.

First up, send a bass to Ealing, go online, make an account, measure and weigh bass, book a collection time, and pay.
wait in all day,,,,,,, try to phone, hmmmm, not much joy, as my collection day/slot got lost, in the internet, no probs, lots of apoligies, they will collect tommorow........Grrrrrrrr, anyways THREE VANS arrive !!!!! five minutes apart,,,, Bah.
Bass sent, and arrived ok, though a day late..... Cost £32.00, inc insurance......

Second Bass, Phoned for collection this time, payed over the phone, £36.00 inc insurance, seems ok, surely.
destination, Falkirk, bass collected, Monday, and on its way, then dissapeared for four days ,,!!!!!!!!!!! Gone,,,, WTF....
Many phone calls to many in fact, much anger from the guy I sold it to, he beleives me to be a right ++++ er
ups cant find it ect, and so on,,,,Saturday morning, turns up at the customers house, out the blue,,,,
no response or any sense from ups,,,,,,,as to why how and maybe what,,,,,, no more UPS for me........
T~~~ssers.. il use anyone but, from now on.

Finished, have I heck, a month later, I get an invoice for a extra £66.32 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Due to, "VOLUMETRIC WEIGHT SIZING", Even I couldnt dream that one up,,,,,and have to pay .......within the next four weeks......

My response, :brow: took two days to sort that out, all done, thankyou.......UPS

I WILL USE YOU AGAIN, NOT.

Im, in Leicester area, and have a Omni 10,
which I use as a top for my 15 inch bottom end, sounds unreal, dont realy need the 15, but hey,
here most evenings and weekends, more than welcome to try ect, bring your own bass, ect, if you like,
appointment essential, and ill arrange plenty of time, and so on,
Nothing compares to an omni, !!!!! a bit larger than most 2x10s, but , hearing is believing, !!

Mark

No, that is all true, on my life, hand on heart. Teddington to my place, is a three hour drive, so he left his house around 4.30 in the morning, !!!!!
without phoning or nowt first, !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Truth is stranger than fiction.......

NIce one, !!!!!!! congrats all round, cant wait to see pics, I love that stuff.

on a similar vein, our John, got given a right old vox combo "for guitar", what a pile of rubbish, i wouldnt put it in the works van, talk about filthy, mice once lived in it yuk......

he fiddled with a couple of valves, and it only worked, !!!!!!!!!! one speaker mind, and sounded , well, really nice, but the smell, !!! sheeeez

bit later we chucked it on the evilbay, for a laugh, 99p no reserve, on a five day listing, lol, THE SMELL

only made £743.00p !!!!!!!!!!!

Next morning 7.30 a m,, my house, blokes there with the cash, has a cuppa, and takes the amp out of it, only a couple of things, out she slides, then the starts getting well excited, like shaking a bit,

turns out to be a forerunner prototype of the AC50 twin, cause its got the original wooden transformers or something, as rare as hens teeth or similar, this guys a dealer in this stuff, Vox, ect and hes chuffed big time, like the holy grail, hmmmmm

our John and me, well, were chuffed, we got £743.0 for it, well pleased, so we went to the pub to celebrate, great stuff.


The blokes name was, Ted, from Teddington, true, I just remembered that bit, Enjoy

Hi Ive got a couple of "good bits", leftover from a knackered ,gk combo which I broke for parts

a pair (2) of the wheels on recessed plates at 30 degrees, they always split...grrrr

and a handle assy that folds into itself,

these are open to cheap offers, how about £5.0 for the wheels and a tenner for the handle, postage prob a fiver per thingy, id have thought, message me ect

as i dont need em, and want somebody to use them, rather than hang on my shed wall, attracting more bits to come and join them in the fun, that was the wifes potting shed,

il post some pics later, when my mate brings my camera back, Cheers Mark
