I only just noticed this, not a million miles away from me at all. I would've popped along if it wasn't for my exams. Let us know if it all goes well!

You [i]almost[/i] have my username.

And all your money and maybe your soul?

[quote name='alexclaber' post='18563' date='Jun 15 2007, 09:22 PM']Obviously a well designed cab? I don't know how you come to that conclusion! Looks like a bog standard under-braced, under-insulated box which is too small for the woofers to operate efficiently, has a speaker arrangement that causes poor off-axis response, has too small a horn tweeter to cross over well to the woofers and to cap it all the drivers don't even match. However, apart from the latter point, that would accurately describe the majority of bass cabs on the market... Impressive name though! Alex[/quote] Sounds good though. I might have a go at putting in some acoustic wool just to dampen the sound a little. It can be a little boomy when the notes start to drop lower. If I do end up getting a different cab, I'm really tempted to just wack out the Neo's and put them into an Omni 210. My woodworking skills are however, interesting...

Myspace coding is just awful, the 'music player' is possibly the worst piece of everything. It's just painful and doesn't work 90% of the time.

I should've added, the cab was professionally built by 'IZ Bass Technologies' and is obviously a well designed cab. If anyone has any info on these people I'd love to hear from them, google yeilds no answers. Thanks alex, basically answers my questions straight up. I had a quick look at the parameters before I posted and I noticed they weren't exactly similar, hence the thread. And Chris, I was more thinking of reslae value, people aren't going to want to buy a mismatched cab. I'm also just curious, haha. But no, it's my trusty cab and I like it just the way it is! I just want an 810...

I bought this cab nearly 3 years ago, for not alot of money. It's been brilliant and I can't really fault it. I knew the drivers were B&C when I bought it, but because I have never had an issue with sound I never had a peek inside. Opened it up just now, and this is the result: As you can see I've got mismatched speakers, this pissed me off a bit at first because I thought that this could cause severe damage to the speaker cones due to speakers with different diameters being in the same enclosure. But I quickly realised that the top two drivers had significantly smaller voice coils, and I clicked that they were neo drivers. Turns out the drivers are: [url="http://bluearan.co.uk/menu/index.php?id=BAC12HPL76&product=B!amp!C_12HPL76_12!dquote!_350W_Low_Frequency_Driver_with_Neodymium_Magnet_8Ohm&browsemode=category"]Neo Drivers[/url] And the B&C PZ32, with a non Neo coil. Does anyone know whether changing the other two drivers so they match the Neo ones will make a noticeable difference to the sound? I wouldn't really want to splash out £250 on two new drivers if there isn't going to be a worthwhile difference.. It would shave nearly 8 kilos off the weight of the thing though... Anyone like to comment?

I had a BB210 for a while. Not exactly very loud and the tweeter is actually awful. But for the money..

Naahh, this is how it's done!

From the lineups I'm gunna guess he's from I Am Finn. After checking out thier (your) myspace (god it takes so goddamn long to load, myspace coding is just so goddamn terrible!) Sounds mad, haha.

Ashdown ABM 810, and I want it. Damn exams.

That's ok, but the single 12 will get double the power of the other 12's, make sure you account for that.

I've used Sennheiser and had some good results. A good quality preamp with a decent eq will do wonders!

[quote name='Russ' post='13906' date='Jun 7 2007, 11:01 PM']We need a decent cheap cab company over here, like Avatar in the US. I was reading a thread over on TB about "cheap rigs of doom", and some of the stuff these Americans have bought for less than $1000 is outrageous... you never find amps and cabs that cheap over here.[/quote] Which is the case for most products over there. Stuff is just cheaper full stop.

I might be selling my 412 in a month or so, if you're in Cheltenham and are still looking when I'm selling you can give it a try. It's a good cab, unbranded, but made properly. Aaaand I've just noticed you want the cab for Leicester.

What cabs have you got and what overall impedance are you trying to achieve? If you're trying to make a 412 then you can create an 8 ohm cab with 4 8 ohm speakers in a series/parallel combination.

Just download WinISD and have a play. You input the parameters of the voice coil (speaker) you'll be using and it tells you a set of reccomended dimentions. [url="http://www.linearteam.dk/"]http://www.linearteam.dk/[/url] It's free!

Really remeber to use WinISD pro, you'll need to tune your cab, especially when porting. It's not as simple as just wacking a speaker in a box, each individual speaker will peform well with its own specifcally designed enclosure. Are you going to port the cab? Because if you do you'll end up with a much more sensitive (louder) cab but the maths gets a little complicated. Theres a timber yard down near Waitrose in Stroud (last time I checked).

Make 'em up, nobodys going to check. You can just say they are from, 'a collection of bass guitar players'. Easy enough. How are you going to go about making the cab? Are you looking to use Neo drivers? There are lots of things that you need to consider, because if you simply use thin MDF to make the cab you may find that it rattles itself apart!

You have the best colour sense in the world. Woo redblack!

Wow! Why didn't you put a bid on it and sell it on?

It's just because it sounds more showy to people who aren't bassists, which is the majority of the audience. They think, 'eh wow, how'd you get that sound of a bass. He must be awesome!'. If you know about the actually difficulty of putting down a solid groove line you're going to apprechiate it more, and hence think it's better. If you don't know about that difficulty the slap line sounds better, and therefore 'is' better. If that makes sense.

Every time I see Bill Lawrence products they just confuse me. I just think, why is the writer of Scrubs messing about with guitar products. My small little brain can't get over the fact that two people can have the same name..
