Uncle Balsamic

Thought of making the thread but it didn't even cross my mind to check the members. Crikey And thinking about perhaps a jack of some kind. I've been mulling over just building one myself, but can't see that going too well

Is there anyone building BFM cabs for sale in the UK? I see there's one authorised builder listed on Bill's site and was wondering if anyone has any experience, or if there are people who aren't listed there who do it. So any info or advice would be much appreciated. Cheers all

Bought a[size=4] Source Audio Soundblox Bass Envelope Filter[/size] from Neil. Prompt communication and a delight to deal with - a great guy.

Leave me off the list, too, please.

Will this cab have 2 speakon jacks or just the one? Put me down anyway - Wallasey, Wirral.

£600 is a decent price for a new F1 I think. Also, the F500 is only worth it if you need that extra control with the EQ or maybe a mute switch.

Great posts. I would love to go out there.

A bit OT, but I always feel so awkward trying out gear in shops. I end up so distracted by this that I get no benefit from it.

If you've played and liked the LMIII - buy it. They're cracking amps.

Although he says that all the amps are flat, I think he must mean that all the tone controls are set to zero, because the only one that sounds flat to me is the TC. The Mark Bass sounds mildly scooped with some HF lift and a depressed LF. The Puma sounds as if there is an excess of lower mids. Depends on the cab, of course, and I'm assuming that the Bergantino is relatively uncoloured.[/quote] The LMII is actually pretty much exactly flat with all of the controls at noon.

Or that.

The Big One would work fine with a LMII @ 6 ohms. That said, if you want to go really loud, you'd probably want to put more power into a Big One than the LMII can provide.

Is the Barefaced Midget small enough?

It'll be fine so long as you're sensible with the volume knob.

If you liked the Markbass rig, go for it. There's nothing wrong with it that would make it a terrible purchase.

What's wrong with Ohm's law?

Oh right. Yeah you could do it. It's probably not worth it, but you never know.

If it's 4 ohm then you can't make it 2 ohm at all. Even if you could, it would probably be of little benefit. Edit: Do you mean that the cab overall is a 4 ohm load or that each individual speaker is 4 ohm?

I think it just shows that people have different tastes. There are plenty of people who hold onto these amps.
