  2. [quote name='andyonbass' post='462882' date='Apr 15 2009, 12:11 PM']What you need is something like this [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=217606"]Non slip mat[/url]. I got a similar one from Asda for a quid. Completely stopped the LM2 from sliding off an angled back cab[/quote] Thanks for the tip. Got one from Tesco for about £1 but didn't really think it would work with a cab angled at about 30 degrees or more. It only bloody does! It's like it's stuck on with blu-tack. 20+ gigs and not a millimeter of movement. BTW, have now done 30+ gigs with the compact and not once haven't been able to hear myself. It lives up to all my expectations and have finally broken my phoney expecations from tweeters. I can hear everything clearly and high notes cut through like a knife. Seems counter-intuitive but I guess it's just down to unlearning the marketing hype.
  3. [quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='513641' date='Jun 14 2009, 10:23 PM']I'll definately have this if its still available. Whereabouts in North London are you?[/quote] PM'd
  4. Just had an idea: I would be willing to sell the cab (inc. crossover and tweeter) separately from the 10" drivers. That way, someone could load the cab with (lightweight?) Eminence drivers (recommended) and make the cab whatever wattage and impedance they liked. The original PAS Eminence drivers would be ideal for an 'BFM Omni 10' or 2 x 'BFM Omni 10.5': the increased efficiency of the BFM design completely negates the "drawback" of these drivers being relatively low-powered by today's standards. Plus, as these are well known to have more bottom end than the standard Eminence 10" drivers (then or now), that negates what I see as a drawback to the BFM Omni design! Would not separate unless I managed to sell the cab, as that's what takes the space up! I'd accept [b]£50 for the cab[/b]. Seeing as the crossover is new and and cost £32 and to buy one of these tweeters now would set you back £62, I think that's an incredible deal. [b]£60 for both drivers[/b] (or £30 each if more that one person wants one).
  5. Bump for a fantastic light little combo that "punches above it's weight", as they say.
  6. [quote name='allighatt0r' post='508331' date='Jun 8 2009, 04:59 PM']Bugger. My SWR Black Beauty runs at 350 watts when a 4 ohm cab is plugged in. I would be scared of killing this! Would be nice to have a matching SWR cab though... Have a friendly SWR shaped bump.[/quote] Rewiring the speaker to make the cab 16Ohm is very simple, if that helps.
  7. For sale is my Behringer 1x12 (aluminium 'dynamizer' cone) 120 Watt combo which was made redundant when I got my MB 1x12 combo, which has a smaller footprint, is lighter and louder. Have owned this from new, is about 5 years old and is called a "bass workstation" because it has tons of features like 2 channels (footswitch included), ultrabass (octaver), DI out, tuner out, tape in/out, pre amp out, power amp in and a headphone jack! It can face straight forward or be tilted back for monitoring situations. I have all the original documentation, including manual and am looking for about [b]£100[/b]. That's a lot of amp for your money. Due to the weight, I would strongly advise cash on collection.
  8. I have for sale a TC Boxer 65. I inherited this from the original (from new) owner who moved abroad so can't say for sure right now when he bought it. It is in excellent condition apart from some barely visible tiny globs of candle wax on the side. Good for both home/studio practice and acoustic/jazz gigs. My MB 1x12 has a small enough footprint to make both this and and my larger, more powerful Behringer 1x12 redundant (also for sale). I'm thinking[b] £90 [/b] is a fair price for this but will entertain sensible offers. Make them a cup of tea, maybe some snacks . Would prefer cash on collection but willing to courier it if you make the arrangements.
  9. [quote name='thegregga' post='507726' date='Jun 7 2009, 08:31 PM']Does this have an additional speaker output? Thanks[/quote] If flippyfloop doesn't mind, I'll answer this as I have exactly the same model. The amp in this combo is identical to the head they sold separately. It has both a combination speakon/quarter inch jack and single quarter inch jack output: [url="http://www.markbass.it/immagini.php?id_pro=69&id_imm=31&lingua=en"]http://www.markbass.it/immagini.php?id_pro...1&lingua=en[/url]
  10. [quote name='JTUK' post='498095' date='May 26 2009, 04:30 PM']Hi original speaker chassis are cast ..? I have Goliath Jnr ll which I might put the speakers and horn in ... I am thinking they will drop straight in.....[/quote] Not sure what you're asking me regarding the speaker chassis but I see no reason why these speakers will not fit straight in. I actually always preferred the second generation's front grille, anyway.
  11. Pics added. Forgot to mention, that I've added some small rubber feet so it stands vertically as well. Feel free to make me sensible offers. Would prefer cash on collection (from either Enfield or somewhere in Essex) and am prepared to courier at your cost.
  12. 200W @ 4 Ohms I've had this for about 5 years now and until a couple of months ago, was my main gig workhorse. It's done 200+ gigs with me alone! Has the original PAS speakers, which are rebranded eminence, I'm told. They had bigger magnets than the production ones, to give give better bottom end. Just the speakers themselves are quite sought after! I had one reconed about 2 years ago by Wembley Loudspeakers, which was more expensive than just buying a new eminence driver because it just wouldn't have sounded as good. It's done more than 50 gigs since then, so don't worry that it's not "as good" as the original cone. It originally had "banana plug" connectors but I've changed this for a quarter inch jack. When I bought it, there was a fault with the crossover but this didn't bother me as the clarity is so amazing without it, I've just always left it turned off. A while ago, I've replaced it with a very high quality [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/link_dynamics_ldx24.htm"]Link Dynamics LDX24[/url] one. Although the original attenuator is still there, I didn't know how to wire it in, so the tweeter is always on. This is not a problem, as it's a phenominal [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fostex_fh27_hochtoener.htm"]Fostex tweeter[/url] (the original one), which itself is not exactly cheap! There's nothing to stop you wiring in the attenuator, if you feel so inclined. All-in-all, I think [b]£100 [/b]is more than reasonable for this classic and fabulous sounding 2x10. Not really in a hurry to sell this, so don't expect any silly price drops. Not looking for any swaps either. I just know I'm going to regret selling it and if I had the space, would keep it.

  13. [quote name='pete.young' post='484268' date='May 10 2009, 12:46 PM']Good luck with that. Ebay insist you take paypal now, so they'll pull this if they spot it. Whereabouts in North London?[/quote] They're w***ers. They say it's to make it safer to buy and sell but it so obvious what they're doing. I'm in Enfield, North London.
  14. Now on eBay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130305413853"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=130305413853[/url]
  15. [quote name='Stan_da_man' post='477198' date='May 1 2009, 05:53 PM']This used to be mine and it is a great cab. [/quote] Thanks for the recommendation. Last bump before evilBay.
  16. [quote name='claf' post='475729' date='Apr 30 2009, 09:04 AM']Do you ship to France ? Thanks[/quote] Hi, thanks for the interest. I don't use PayPal so it would make things too difficult. I'll explore all UK options first.
  17. Don't know how much help this will be but I have a TE v-type preamp (2 valves) and have tried a few types of valves. I wanted a fairly clean and full sound but with top-end clarity. Tried a few (EH 12AX7, Mullard 12AT7) but my faves are the EH 12AT7 Gold: lower gain and full sounding with clear highs and mids. Fulfilled my criteria, so stayed in. Highs could cut through more but I can't say I've really got head round the tone stack. That tone stack calculator Alex posted earlier should help!
  18. Bump. This is still available and taking up space.
