(See bottom of this post for [b]festive[/b] offer.)

It's looking like I'll be collecting some new cabs pretty soon and my house just isn't big enough... so these'll have to go:

[b]Warwick Neo Pro 12" 300W [/b]- 8 ohm with adjustable tweeter 17kg/37lbs
[url="http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/produkt.php?submenuID=14679&katID=14501&linkID=25304&cl=EN"]http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/pro...25304&cl=EN[/url]

[b]Warwick Neo Pro 15" 400W[/b] - 8 ohm no tweeter 23kg/51lbs
[url="http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/produkt.php?submenuID=14679&katID=14501&linkID=25305&cl=EN"]http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/pro...25305&cl=EN[/url]






This is a hole in the covering (the only one I've noticed).

Both are VERY light, easily lifted with one hand. They have 2 speakon and 2 jack sockets on the back.

They're both in perfect working order and are very clean. There are just some scratches on the 'W' of the 15"'s grill and a hole on the covering of the 12", but it's not noticable. They look great and stck very nicely. My band were impressed when I changed to these cabs, my drummer said he could hear my notes more clearly and I was asked to turn down :)

They work well together and look good as a pair so...

[b]£390 or nearest cheeky offer[/b] for both including delivery!

[b][u][i]FESTIVE OFFER[/i][/u] £500 with Ashdown Superfly amplifier[/b] Used this rig last night and it worked great. :huh:
(I'm not really keen on selling this head, but if it'll help someone out with getting a nice little rig then I'll let it go as a package... otherwise the cabs are still available on their own.)

Anyone else got experience of these? Would I be daft to replace my two Bergo 12" cabs with them? :)[/quote]
I will take the Berg's for £390 if it helps !

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='359653' date='Dec 20 2008, 03:48 PM']I would be very interested but they are a bit out of my budget. If there's no takers in the next few weeks and you're willing to shed a few pounds, then maybe I can make you an offer.[/quote]

I'm always open to offers, you never know... the worst you're gonna get from me is a 'no'.

And I'll take the Berg's for [b]more[/b] than £390 if you are having an auction.

Thanks E.T.

It's now available with an amp if that suits anyone? I used this set up on Sunday and it worked nicely.

[quote name='Zach' post='364763' date='Dec 28 2008, 12:38 PM']When you say with delivery, does that include down to london? I'm contemplating taking you up on this, but it seems a rather long way to Lincoln.[/quote]

Exactly! I'll post these to you in London with 48 hour delivery... for no extra charge. That's either with or without the amp.

(I'm actually coming to London Myself soon, but I don't think I'll be able to get them on the train without annoying everyone. Has anyone ever tried taking a bass rig on a train before? The weight wouldn't be a problem, but they'd take up a lot of the baggage space.)

[quote name='Zach' post='364883' date='Dec 28 2008, 03:32 PM']Damn that's far too tempting. I have one technical question though, what's the difference between a 2x250W, and a normal 500W amplifier? Not sure the guys at the ticket gate would be too happy with you taking that onboard unfortunately.[/quote]

A 500W amplifier has one power amplifier and will deliver upto 500W of power into a 4Ohmn cab or two 8Ohmn cabs linked together.

A 2x250W amplifier like this Superfly has two power amplifiers which each give out 250W into a 4Ohmn cab or two 8Ohmn cabs linked together. So the total would be 500W as with the 500W amp.

With this set up you won't get a full 500W from the amp since each cab is 8Ohmn. So you might get something like 150W to 175W from each cab. That probably doesn't sound like much but it's still 300W to 350W from the rig, which certainly isn't quiet. When I played in a medium sized pub venue I was at about 6 out of 10 on the 'output' control. Any louder was too loud. That was with a 5 piece pop/rock band. (Turning up louder didn't give any distortion either, which was great.)

The superflys have taken a lot of stick for the 2x250W power arrangement but it gives the same amount of power as an Ashdown EVO 300W head and is WAY cheaper. For £110 I don't think you can go far wrong.

One for the amplifier experts: [b]Does running an amp into an 8Ohmn load give you more headroom than when you use a 4Ohmn load?[/b]

Ok, so I'm trying to find a reason not to buy this. If I haven't found one by the morning I shall get back to you.

Edit: Looking at the superfly reviews on harmony central, a few of the reviews complain about some high-pitched whistle. Have you encountered this problem with yours?

I have taken it to band rehearsals and no-one noticed the 'whistle', not even me, and I was listening for it and waiting for someone to complain about it! But when there are other people in the room chatting you don't hear it. I've set it up at venues and no-one noticed it (it doesn't get louder as you turn the output up). I only hear it when practicing at home on my own in a silent room. I wouldn't recommend this for bedroom practice because of this, but any public performance isn't affected by it at all. You can only hear it when you stop playing (in a very quiet room) when you play you cannot hear it at all. Again I'm only selling this since I've just bought another amp so this is just going to be sitting around. Even though I'm very tempted to keep it as a back-up. So if anyone just wants the cabs and leaves me with the amp I'll not be disappointed.

Lemmywinks has a superfly and the whisteling is only noticable when you have tweeters on full (barely noticable at all on non-horn loaded cabs) and as playbass says, doesnt get louder when you turn it up.

And i believe these cabs used to be mine, they really kick for such lightweights :)
