  1. Measure up your Ashown box. Find the volume of your new box. One of these experts will cheerfully work out what port length is required to emulate the original design tuning in the half size boxes.
  2. OK, what is the 9M cost of sales covering?
  3. 232 is less than 245. If you add 1cm to each dimension it is still less than 245. Ombudsman time.
  4. Man, some big rocks some people live under when a V4B is an unknown. Enjoy your light load tubes. An Elf makes an excellent backup.
  5. It won't open with Adobe like every other pdf I grab on my phone???
  6. When it comes to the OP, less would be nothing at all. DeOxit has wrecked a lot of gear according to Agedhorse. Less is more is a good maxim.
  7. 1 bass smuggled into the house in parts over 20 years is the crime of the century. You might get away with it. Depends how silly the other is. They may not really care for the skullduggery all the same.
  8. I take it you are used to the Elf getting quite warm tp the touch when working? Overloading the input stage isn't going to make diddly squat extra heat before it would sound incredibly angry. I think your fan isn't working or you obstructed it somehow.
  9. Half of that extra loud is sucked up with modern drivers being half as sensitive as the vintage ones old BMP was using with his 50w amp.
  10. How's the tonez?
  11. The Venture is an all new Yamaha, much as Peavey revitalized Trace Elliot, minus bass player enthusiasm.
  12. By my maths that is two 200w tube amos. Divide and conquer.
  13. Thread title could benefit of a change. "Most unwelcome overplaying guest soloist at open jam".
  14. Harmonica, lead guitar. Can't decide which gets the title.
  15. Barefaced do cloth grilles and custom tolex jobs. Trace Elliot green 210 with Elf on top?
  16. You should me more concerned with blowing up your hearing. Never plug more than one amplifier into a speaker. If it isn't obvious what cables are what you should check with someone before hooking it up. Mind out with the output sliders. If something isn't making any sound, turning up the output won't fix it.
  17. If you would be bereft should it be stolen you could insure appropriately at the cost of similar enough model Fender plus sandblasting and the satin clearcoat. That would mean paying extra premiums which perhaps temper your enthusiasm for like for like insuring. Hence the dilemma?
  18. 500w is only going to get you a 3dB boost if your cab can take it all without cooking or breaking. 1200w means you can plug into a big high power handler like a BF Twin and give it some berries, outdoors on a big stage. Elf sales don't hurt 1200 sales and vice versa. A 500w version would not be significantly cheaper than the 1200. Hence no 500w version.
  19. Plug in cab volume. Plug in driver if your version supports the Beyma. If not, give it the T/S specs from the datasheet. Tell it you have a tuning of 50hz and two 4" round ports. It will tell you the length, also the port velocity and response chart and displacement chart for whatever wattage you input. It's a big enough box you might get away with a lower tuning.
  20. I wouldn't worry about it until you are getting gigs. That gives you plenty of opportunity to see if the 200w is enough. 20W is twice as loud as 2W 200W is twice as loud as 20W 2000W blows up your cab way trying to be half as loud again. 500W is just a bump up.
  21. Soft bags for the win. That's a lot roomier than I remember the original MX5 boot. It has some depth to it. So long as the cab foot print goes into the dropout section you are good for a much bigger cab overall than what I imagined. If a box doesn't drop straight in and stay under the lid you are screwed out of a huge amount of cabinet size. It has to go through the opening, rotate and lie down. Suitcases have quite rounded edges and corners. Googling the biggest carry on suitcase mx5 model could really stuff things up. If it is close I would make a cardboard mockup just to be sure.
  22. Perhaps they aren't quite as incompetent as all that and have refunded the insufficient postage?
  23. This.^ If it is shelf ported you could run it through the centre, slap new sides on and call it good. That would only work for a tall skinny 210 as opposed to one that is squat with diagonally mounted drivers. You want to maintain the cross sectional area amd length of the ports, half the area for each cabinet. Half the original cab volume each.
  24. It serves notice to anyone thinking of doing the same. It might be a lot harder than you imagined. You need to be careful not to take away plywood in your enthusiasm. The individual plys are very slim. Strip the glue rather than sand it.
