I have been playing around with the idea of a passive crossover; feeding highs to a guitar cab and lows to a bass cab. What frequency would we want to crossover at? 800Hz, 500Hz - even lower? The downside is that you wouldn't be making much use of the full range potential of the bass cab speaker, I guess. What are peoples thoughts here?

Phil, Bill, Thank-you both for your inputs. I think I'm going review and cross reference some 12" speaker datasheets to see if I can identify one close to V30 specs. I guess I wouldn't know whether it is the V30 in particular I liked the sound of 'most' (compared to other guitar speakers), as I haven't played a great deal of bass through guitar speakers... I have though, played through a fair amount of bass cabs, and ultimately, a wide range of specific bass speakers. The majority though, have all been ported... I like the idea of a sealed cabinet with a pair of 12" drivers. One of the better cabs I played my V4 through (to my ears), was a Matamp 4x8 (sealed, with the dodgy, but fair quality chinese neodymium speakers Jeff managed to come by...). I really appreciate the help gents, thanks again; I'll definitely be posting here again with equally silly questions

Thanks for the quick response! Could you recommend a tighter sounding cab?

So... I took delivery of an American Fender Dimension Deluxe V last week; beautiful bass. With my Trace V4 and associated cabs all covered up and stacked out of the way from a gig a couple of weeks back, I was too impatient to set it all up in the lounge to try my new bass... My Engl Thunder 50 combo was set up in my lounge from some gui**ar noodling the previous night. I decided to plug the bass in for a quick test- It sounded really good? Albeit at a very low volume and with bass freq eq'd low. Later in the week I setup my V4 and a 2103H; after playing through the ENGL combo, I couldn't help but notice a lack of clarity/definition and sharp response that I had heard through the gui**ar amp? It got me thinking about bands in the 60's and early 70's; without the abundance of bass gear available that we have today, they appeared to use guitar cabinets of a sort. The cabs would blow a lot apparently, as you might imagine. My question to the experts: Is there a modern speaker/cab that can provide the clarity and sharp response from the Vintage 30 fitted to my ENGL combo, but is designed to withstand bass frequencies? Bit of an odd one I know; maybe one for those who seek to replicate vintage bass tones...

Bought Dan's Trace Combo; excellent communication and even drove to Swindon to save me driving all the way to Oxford! Top Bloke

Paul sold me a Korg A5 multifx pedal. Communication was great, the pedal was packaged very well and was exactly as described!

Dave sold me his Son's Korg EMX Synth/Sequencer Excellent Communication and when it arrived (Well-Packaged of Course!), all Minor faults were exactly as described; I was made fully aware ,before buying, in perfect Detail I'm yet to meet a Better BC'er to deal with! Kyron
