Total Watts

  1. I saw Talk Talk support Duran Duran in the early 80's and they were in a different league - especially as Duran Duran seemed to have problems keeping time. Simple Minds supporting Magazine in '79 sounded much fresher and interesting at that moment in time to my ears - I've changed my mind since!
  2. Hi, I’m interested. Do you come up near Bath at all?
  3. Rehearsal went well, the cab sounded great. I’m amazed really at how good it does sound. I got a metal grill made too so it looks really professional! Although at 8ohms it makes my amp work too hard and I’m pretty sure it won’t cut it for a gig. So I’m going to make another one! I sent off the dimensions to a number of online timber cutting services but can’t as yet find anyone prepared to cut the speaker hole. I’m pretty sure I can manage the holes for the ports. Does anyone know where I might get the speaker hole cut for a reasonable price as I don’t have the skill or the necessary equipment to do this?
  4. Managed to find some time to put the Beyma 212 into the cab and have a quick play today. First impressions are very favorable as it sounds fantastic to my ears in the confines of my house. The acid test is to use it with the band. If we have a rehearsal soon I’ll try it out then. Unfortunately though the rest of the band don’t like reheasals much, preferring to just turn up and play! Having turned the volume up as far as I dare, my feeling is that it won’t go loud enough for a gig with my amp as it’s 200w into 8ohm so I’m planning on building another cab... or getting someone else to do it as I have pretty much zero skills and equipment. I haven’t yet done a side by side comparison with my Ampeg 4x10 but from memory this cab sounds a bit ballsier. Can’t describe it any better than that. I was also surprised at the amount of top end it has, not having a tweeter like my 4x10. So for my use it won’t need one which is a relief as I won’t need to get drilling! I’ve ordered a grill as well, so all will be sorted when that arrives. Many thanks for the generous gift Phil, I really appreciate it and Will enjoy using it in the months/years to come. Just need to get a second one sorted out now! I’ll post another photo when the grill is fitted.
  5. did someone take you up on this offer? If not then I’m very interested...
  6. Vienna - heard Midge do this acoustically to good effect.
  7. Hi, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I couldn’t wait so have just bought one today! Good luck with the sale.
  8. Looks great, I might be interested in this. I hope you don't mind a few questions. Where are you located? It looks like the pickguard is raised a little in the middle, was wondering if it's the original? I presume it has dot markers on the side of the neck? Not sure how I'd feel without them! It's difficult to see the condition of the frets in the photos, so was wondering about the general wear? All the best!
