grenadilla Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 These Carvins interest me as they resemble the shape of my old Vox Westminster cabinets. The vox cabs were extra heavy 1" particle board and rear-ported. The Carvins aren't even .75" plywood, but I want a couple. But,I know better now and will stick with 10's!

KingBollock Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I had a Vox Foundation 2x18 when I was a kid. I wish I still had it. I can't remember what it sounded like, and I'd probably refit it with a 15" and a couple of 10s, or something, but it looked lovely. It was the big one from this page: http://www.voxshowroom.com/catalogs/1971_p6.html I paid £20 for it and it came with a 30m lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipideebass Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Having fooled around with mostly 15's but also one 18 these post make sense- especially the earwax. I've never needed cotton buds since [i]that [/i]Zep concert. Might be worth doing some research on the guy who used to make Jaco's speakers (18's I believe) a Steve Rabe. He wanted to prove to a highly sceptical and conservative load of bass players (shurely not!!) the there was a better way to make a low end. Start with http://www.swramps.com/company see what you think. I found this a good thread. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1338038112' post='1668883'] [i]a tight, punchy, slap & pop high-end.[/i] [b]Freq. Resp: 30 to 2K Hz -3dB [/b] Those statements are diametrically opposed. [/quote] Reading the entire blurb they seem to promising all things to all people. However, considering those frequency response figures I'd like to hear a high end pop and slap from it. Perhaps the person who wrote it has a different definition of 'high end'.

JTUK Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 He used 301's... but never needed much high end gliss... that just wasn't in the game at that time. And Steve Rabe brought out a very respected bass monitor system which blew everything else out of the water at the time..pretty much.

Count Bassie Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 [quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1337942211' post='1667667'] Marshall Major and 4 Vox Foundation cabs, 18s.
