Great stuff, just what I wanted to hear - I've ordered one! Thanks for the speedy replies

Excellent, will look in to those first!

Hey Dingwallians, I've some very good wall mounting hangers for my basses but find that the 'hooks' that the headstock hangs on are too wide for my Dingwall. Yes, I could pull the thing down and find someone with a vice so I can bend the arms in, but I could use that hook for another bass. (Of course ha!) What are you using to hang your 5 strings with that don't get in the way of the Dingwall tuners?

[quote name='Raggy' timestamp='1414862419' post='2594103'] I'm using a Greenboy Fearless F115 built by Guy at Tricky Audio and would thoroughly recommend him as the UK builder to go to, from my experience. The cabs can take a lot of watts and are well engineered. I get some positive comments on the sound it produces. I'm actually thinking about moving on my Dubster and getting an F215 after spending time with this cab. Probably overkill due to the performance of the F115. But what the heck [/quote] Yours wasn't the one with the red baffle and coating featured recently was it?

Here's a link to the design: http://greenboy.us/cabs/view.php?model=fEARful%201515/66

I meant to come back and add them myself! Much appreciated.

I agree the TH500 does sound great with the CN212. I also found that the Eden WT550 with it's parametric EQ does a great job of being able to dial in a tone that works very well with this cabinet. I also found that the Orange AD200B Mk3 delivers a very sweet tone to the CN212 at moderate volume but weighs more than the cab itself!

Dave Green is a top chap! I've enjoyed having a little chat with him every now and then. I love the designs and the ethos behind each of the ranges. ONE DAY I'll get to try some of these cabinets out to see how they fair. Reviews suggest very well it seems. I'd dearly love to hear the 1515/66 model. Ed Friedland has been very pleased with his cabinet: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-YUbQyK5Ls[/media]

Excellent, thank you please do suggest things I can add in reviews! - Mostly I talk about feel and weight in the written review as they tend to go hand in hand - but I'm off to the studio tomorrow so I will take your points on board - You notice that I make a point of not 'shredding' through the reviews. The videos certainly aren't about me personally but hopefully the bass details I get across clearly.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1414502459' post='2589888'] Well... You could try the Barefaced website. [/quote] Well, yes for someone like me who understands the acronyms, but most of my students don't know what THD %, SPL or what "excursion vs thermally limited power handling" is. K.I.S.S is an acronym that many do know though

[quote name='tks.se' timestamp='1414501754' post='2589865'] Unfortunately, the power rating doesn't say anything about how loud the cabinet will go (how loud/deep you can play without the speaker distorting). The power rating is an indication of how resistant the speaker is to heat failure, and to bass players, that isn't really an important issue. The average power for a bass signal is lower than for say the PA which handles the sound reproduction of the full band, and it's the average power that creates the heat the RMS rating refers to. What's much more interesting for bass players is how far the speaker cone can travel without distorting, and how much air is moved (displacement). This is what really decides how low/loud you can play. You could have two different 600W speakers, both able to take the same amount of average power without failing, but one having large displacement, and the other one a much smaller displacement. The small displacement speaker would start sounding bad when turning up the volume, while the high displacement speaker would continue to deliver at higher volumes, even though they both are rated 600W. It's too bad that most manufacturers don't list displacement/excursion capabilities of their speakers. For the designer, it's a known value, so it wouldn't be an impossible thing to list with the other specifications, and could help potential customers in choosing the right gear. Don't just go by the power rating. Without knowing and being able to compare displacement values, the best way to decide on which speakers can deliver what you're looking for is to simply try them out yourself and compare. If you tried one 300W cabinet that does the job, don't expect a 500W cabinet to be able to go even louder without distorting, it could just as well be the other way around. [/quote] This is a great post. There are so many myths I hear on a regular basis about gear compatibility and for example power handling that perpetuates further misinformation. I'd love to see a single resource online that explains away so many falsehoods with your clarity and ease of understanding.

You actually won't get any spam. You do get a reminder mail when a new addition is coming out with what to look forward to in it, but you don't have to receive those mails. Registration and subscription is FREE and you also get access to a whole host of other freebies such as a free copy of Guitar Pro amongst other offers. Seems crazy to turn it down just based on a cuppla emails? I mean, that's a lot of reviews for nothing more than a bit of your time!

Apologies that there are interviews, bass, amp and effects reviews all in one post. It'd take until the following christmas to split them up throughout BassChat's review forum. Maybe i'll do that when I've nothing else that needs doing first ha!!
