Hi,

New to the forum,

Based in Manchester, currently auditioning/looking for new band.

Currently have a nice custom bass.

Zebrano and Paduke through neck with swap ash body, hand made pups, Alnico magnets and rosewood covers.

Problem is average amplification.

Hartke HA 2500 head with Laney 4 x 10 cab.

Ideally would want a Valve head, Fender Bassman, the Laney is about to be moddified with Eminence drivers.

Cheers,

Carl.

WOOOOelcome. :D

Sounds like you got it all figured out LOL.
Careful with switching drivers, sometimes the cab and drivers won't have the best match, especially if you don't check the tuning.
Some good theory and info at BFM: [url="http://billfitzmaurice.com/"]http://billfitzmaurice.com/[/url]

That's not a rig to be sneezed at as-is. You could do some damage. Let us know how it goes - and enjoy yourself.

Hi Carl,

Welcome to BC!
As you may know, the Laneys are wonders with Eminences and new cases. Likewise I have a fantastic axe (the wood chopping device in this case) after my granddad... :lol:

Enjoy the forum!

best,
bert

(Yes, my father only ever put in a new handle, and I just shifted the blade. FANTASTIC axe!)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply's.

I'll be careful about new drivers in my Laney. It might be better to buy a different cab?
I like a challenge though, Iv'e built my own hi fi speakers with good results using eminence b102 10 inch drivers.

Are the barefaced cabs any good for rockier stuff?

There is one for sale in Manchester.

Thanks,

Carl.

Hi Carl

you'll find a lot of Barefaced fans on this forum. Personally never tried them. Any decent speaker/cab should be good for any style of music IMO.

See you around

They have fans and builders all over the world... ok mainly the USA AFAIK but you get the Idea.

Barefaced are special too - and pretty much as light as possible.
