discreet Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) [b]Do You Build BFM Cabs..? Or own a Jack 12..?[/b] Bottom line is, I have terrible GAS. Also, I really want a Barefaced '69er. [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/69er.htm"]http://barefacedbass...-range/69er.htm[/url] However, not being currently in possession of the necessary folding for such a purchase, I would also settle for a second Bill Fitzmaurice Jack 12. I already have one BFM J12 (see build thread in my sig) and I think another would pretty much see me right in [i]any [/i]gig situation. Phwooaar, eh? But... I don't have the time [i]or[/i] the inclination to build another right now and I seem to remember that someone on Basschat is an official Bill Fitzmaurice builder - or at least is able to, or has built a BFM cab, or cabs. But I can't for the life of me remember who it is, so my question is this: Does anyone know who the BC BFM builder is, or indeed are YOU that very BFM builder yourself? It may also have been someone on FinnBass (Finn who?) but again, I can't remember their moniker. Another possibility is this: you have built, or you own a J12 yourself and you don't use it/want to move it on. Please drop me a PM if you can help. [size=4]I thank you.

bertbass Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Got a pair of Jack 15s looking for a new home. Kappalite 3015 loaded and a distortion free displacement limited power handling at 350 watts. No horns as they don't need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Or if you fancy a BFM omni 15 wideboy - the same as Mr Foxen's but in the wide format for valve heads. I have used the 3015LF in another cab but the rest of it is available. Probably about the size of a 4x10, check website for details. It was pretty comparable to the Barefaced big on I used to own.

mrtcat Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hi All, I am a franchised builder for BFM. I can certainly build / quote but at the moment I'm back and forwards a bit with my regular work. I'm a cabinet maker but the company I work for have me designing / building / fitting interiors for temporary buildings we're constructing in Greece. I'm out of the UK fairly regularly and will be until July and I already have a couple of guitar cabs part done that I'm struggling to finish. Beyond that I'll be building to order again as I have a feeling there will be plenty of slack with my employers after this contract ends. I'm itching to get back on the BFM building because I have a lot of faith in Bill's designs and I have a stupidly big shiny new workshop to spread out in after I moved recently. Most of my builds have been PA based gear but I've done a couple of Jacks and they're pretty straightforward. Sorry I can't be a help in the short term. I'm still available to help with build queries as I'm still on line when I'm away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumb, Trace Elliot, BFM... Just thought I'd say like...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
