Cool little combo. What size drivers are those ?

Wow, that theme tune really brought back nights hiding under the sheets as a kid with a small transistor radio pressed to my ear. Terrified (totally unnecessarily) that my mum would come in. One night it was Hitchhiker's guide, the next, Tommy Vance "TV On The Radio" with The Friday Rock Show. Teenagers today have pr0n. We had Hitchhikers Guide.

It wasn't the only thing odd about that book. 😀 I was an avid fan of it when I was a teenager. I remember the TV series coming out. Am I right in thinking it'd been a radio series first ? I seem to recall surreptitiously listening to it under the bedcovers.

Or indeed. Radiant. (No disrespect meant. I love it)

I'll never be able to eat another growler....er...I mean....pork pie...for as long as I live without thinking about that...

Any 5 string with 4 tuners on one side of the headstock and 1 sticking out the other like the proverbial Friday afternoon after-thought. (Oh sh1t, where can we put this extra tuner ....) Anything above a 4 string has to be as balanced as possible.

I have a similar selection of things that could do it ( Boss BR-80, a couple of different Bass Pandoras, a Zoom multi effects pedal, a small mixer, a Roland Fantom 08 etc), but I've always wondered why it can't just be included like it is on some EUBs and acoustic instruments.

I recently went to watch a live band in a local pub. They are a pretty well known band in Ireland, never made the big time but are well respected. The bassplayer had one of those on the rather cramped stage next to him. He played a total of 4 notes on it the entire gig. But then again, at one point in the gig, one of the 2 drummers on stage was playing a diggeridoo duel with a guitarist, also on a diggeridoo. It's been a while since I saw anyone play a diggeridoo, now all of a sudden 2 show up at once. 😆 Great gig, but madly chaotic at times.

I have one, but I'm currently using it as a practice amp with a digital piano. It's never been gigged 😀 . I'm considering buying a 15 to match with it for a rather unique stereo gigging rig. Left hand through the 15, right hand through the 4x8.

Nice. I still have a very early Kingston 5 string which I took the fugly pickguard off 5 minutes after getting it home from the shop. Ive always drooled over a 535, which I know I'll never buy as I'll never be good enough to deserve it. I have seriously contemplated the AG model though and may well take the plunge one day.

So, like I said. It doesn't answer the questions.

Not really. It doesn't say where the original buyer is located or if the bass was bought directly from the manufacturer or through a shop. It also doesn't say where the OP bought it, did they buy it from the original buyer in the UK, or in Belgium?

That's certainly possible, however I do know that Thomman allow the warranty to transfer to a subsequent owner, but with a shorter length of cover. It's certainly possible that the bass still has some coverage left especially as it's still very new. It may depend on where the original buyer is located to see if it's covered under EU or UK law. It'd also be worth seeing if the original buyer is prepared to help too.

Hmmm. Not entirely sure that this is the case. I enquired with Thomann about a stage piano recently (okay, okay, I know it's the wrong forum) that I was looking to buy privately from someone local to me, but had originally been sold by them. It was about 6 months old. They said that they will continue to honour the warranty, but instead of it being a 3 year warranty, it drops down. I can't recall if it dropped to a year from when I bought it, or 2 years from the original sale, but the point was there was still a warranty. This was Thomann, but it may be the case with other sellers. It also applies in many other cases. Car warranties are transferable if the car is sold. I'd say find out where it was originally bought and also contact the manufacturer. If it was a manufacturing defect you should be protected. I would also point out to the manufacturer that this wasn't something that 'broke' it was wrong from the day it was built. If worse comes to worse, then you could threaten the manufacturer with taking them to the small claims court, but try and exhaust the other possibilities first.

Maybe Behringer should do the same and put a list of synths on their web page and we can vote on which one they rip off..oops.... sorry...'create a homage to' next. 😆

Done. 331 needed.

Is that from the new 'Elephantman' range ? (No offence to any elephantmen or ladies who may be reading).

Thanks Polymath. So just be be clear, this is the Faital 6FE200 in the same size cab as the Fane,but a modified port ?

I've just spent a leisurely couple of hours this Boxing Day morning, whilst waiting for the rest of the family to get up, modeling this on WINISD and had the same problem. Looks like I'll have to look elsewhere. 😓

Is it working again or has something died ? I'm no expert on cab building, but do have some electrical experience and don't really see how a cab could cause that. I'd have thought a duff driver, or maybe a wiring issue somewhere. Have you tested the speaker impedance with a DVM since this experience? Anyway, I'm sure one of the grown ups with real experience will be along to help soon.

Thanks Pea. I'd be interested to hear what you think. I have ran my keyboard (also a Kawai somethingorother) through various bass and guitar speakers in the past and it generally sounds okay, but not very hifi. Not much top end and a bit boomy. So far I've used it on a Peavey Minx (50W bass amp), an Ashdown 4x8 bass cab and a Peavey Mace (a 160 W valve, 2x12 guitar combo). The 4x8 is by far the best, but isn't stereo. I think that the 2x6 is the way to go. I did think about splitting the 4x8 into two 2x8's and run it stereo, but am reluctant to start chopping into it. It's also really heavy and far too big for what I currently need. I've always read that it's generally not a great idea to put a full 88 key piano through a guitar amp, but apparently plenty of people used to use VOX AC30s with a Rhodes back in the day.

Thanks again Phil. I've read that thread again. I think what I'll do is build a 2x6 cabinet that will basically be two 1x6 cabinets joined together and seperated internally. I can then use this as a mono 8ohm 1x6 or a 4 ohm 2x6, with one Gnome, or a stereo unit with a small stereo class d amp. Alternatively, I could always just buy another Gnome, so if I needed a more powerful stereo combo, I'll be gnome and dry. Seems to be a bit of a gnome-brainer to be honest....sorry....quiet day in work. If I'm unhappy with the treble response, I'll build a seperate, stackable, tweeter cabinet with the drivers from the 1x10 and the x-over(s) in the cab.

Sounds like a deal. We've even got Guinness here 😆

Thanks Phil, I appreciate your response. It seems it may be prudent to factor a tweeter, and the volume needed, into the design. I'll have to look around for suitable candidates. Do you think it'll need 2x or just one for the right hand ? Unfortunately, I think it's very unlikely that anybody near me has built one as I live in an idyllic rural wilderness in the very centre of Ireland.

Has anybody ever used this with keyboards? I'm thinking of building a stereo version for use as a practice/ small jazz group jam combo. Voiced mostly as an acoustic piano, but also a Rhodes and maybe some B3 style organs. I'll probably power it with a small generic stereo 25 watt class D amp, but also have a Warwick Gnome, (I also play bass) so it could be pretty versatile. Building two seperate 1x6's would be the most flexible, but I do fancy a single box solution. If I ever wanted more power I could just get a second Gnome (btw, apparently the collective noun for a group of Gnomes is a 'donsy of gnomes'). I'd build it as one box seperated into 2 chambers.
