    Owning cabs powered by 3015LF and 3015 my advice would have been go with either. If you can, change order back to 3015. BF knows his stuff.

    pmd - but Paul 5 has first dibs.

    I have owned both, the 300 has the edge on clean headroom. The 300 was noticeably heavier to lift and carry. My Mk3 was bought new in 1983/4?, it is still going strong, although not with me. The only failure was the speaker about 5 years ago, the glue holding cone to frame gave up with age. Bought a 15" Eminence from this forum and it lives on.

    Tried repairing Peavey B/W where the cone edging had lifted from the metal frame - age caused glue to fail. It was not a good result (I am pretty fair at repairs - usually) There is a good amount of info about how to recone available - shims to set voice coil in correct position seems to be the secret. What is blown? describe the damage - cone damage to paper can be fixed with varying degrees of success.

    Decal surrounds / edges look unlike any Fender I have owned (4 from 1977) or any Fender I have seen (countless). Caveat emptor m'lud.

    May I say these are great lightweight resonant basses. As above super slim neck and very fast. Stick a s/h set of good pickups and you have a staggeringly good bass, mine has EMGs now.

    Seems to be no simple explanations of this in my experience. My most lively bass - acoustically and amped is the Kramer. It is also the heaviest by a long way. After that no obvious pattern, they are all just different. Have same with two USA 1990s Strats I have, they are so different in character.

    My thinking was the stud inserts will have grooves / indents. PVA wood glue would set into these grooves / indents and wedge the inserts in. Should removal ever be needed they could be heated up and break the glue down. Agree - Araldite / epoxy combined with roughening the inserts - fixed for life.

    My VBA was great, immense amounts of everything, bass, treble, mid, volume. They seem to be a good deal on prices. Sadly it also had immense mass and I had sciatica so it had to go. I miss it.

    Cheap basses - warwick Rockbass Corvettes, I scored mine at £150 - gives you change for good hardcase. Friend's duaghter has yamaha rbx170? cheapest yamaha bass, it is very good.

    So what sort of money are we talking?

    Did you buy it? I had 7215 ? a 2x15 cab, [url="http://www.marshallamps.com/archive/7400cabinets.html"]http://www.marshallamps.com/archive/7400cabinets.html[/url] a great thing but heavy. Well built, British Engineering at it's most solid.

    Lightweight could be good, is it a neck diver would be my concern, are the originals?

    Great fun, now where is that £40 peavey milestone 3 I have somewhere. Honey I'm home .........................

    AFAIK the ferrules should be a tight (interference) fit so that they do not pull out. Seems to be no harm pulling them out (gently) if they are lifting out and glueing in. PVA woodwork glue?

    Peavey Tour 700, excellent, 500W at 8 ohms, all useful features present and naff octaver. Just bought one, v little use, £200. Reasonable weight. Firebass 700, good as well but heavy.

    Amps and cabs move on, they get better and better - I regret selling Hiwatts (100, 200) in early 80s, but other than that my ampage is way better than ever. Guitars / basses are a personal thing. How good is the bass? is it a dream to play? does it have any special value? then go and compare with what is available. My G&L SB1 is a great bass, but the Chinese rockbasses are every bit as good and are crazy cheap s/h. I will keep the G&L for sentimental reasons (22+ year with me) and rarity - unlikely to get another one.

    [quote name='Fellrunner' timestamp='1345846920' post='1782504'] Im tempted by the Dubster....how limited in its application is it 3below? [/quote] Apols on slow reply, Dubster is just great. I have used with my USA basses TI flats, and cheapy Rockbass with roundwounds. No shortage of hi frequency for my tastes, does not seem much different to Big One (and I know my high frequency hearing is still pretty good). Where the Dubster scores is the sheer volume, noticeably louder with my Peavey 700 compared to Big One. The low frequency response is just something else. Best cab I have ever owned, Big one is second best.

    It is the age old caveat emptor, try before you buy, and try in anger at gig volumes. Then again 4 x KT88 or 6 x EL34 has never disappointed me over the years. YMMV.

    The public liability issues seem quite amazing in the new world order we live in. So much so I wonder should I have liability insurance for a trip to the pub with my other half. Would be a terrible shame if she left her handbag by a chair and someone then tripped over it - claim coming on I guess

    Have never tried German or Korean models. My two are Chinese made, the quality is staggeringly good, every bit as good as my USA basses (or any I have owned). They were also incredible bargains s/h. I would not hesitate to own another Chinese built one.

    Enjoy the Big One, it is a great cab. Despite having a Dubster I am having an equivalent built since it is such a good cab, only reason I changed was the Dubster was too good to miss. Feed your Big one plenty of Watts, it thrives on them.
