Mr. Foxen

Heavily depends on the tone more than the tuning, how much bottom are you trying to get?

Plenty of peavey amps do 2 ohm. And plenty of PA type power amps.

Can pull the knob part off if you are that scared of it moving. The facility to drive a power amp directly is seriously useful, stick it to the fornt of a power amp and you are good to go. I'm gonna velcro dot the middle of my Matamp Quasar just for that purpose.

[quote name='Tait' post='1362423' date='Sep 4 2011, 11:19 PM']EDIT: Actually, I think I get it now. Essentially for a DC circuit they're identical in every way, but for AC the impedance takes into account the phase difference between the current and potential difference?[/quote] Impedance needs a frequency to be specified, and has resistive and capacitive components, which I don't really understand, but a capacitor can pass AC but not DC, hence their using in amps, and a sort of important thing when figuring how stuff works.

Hondos are rubbish. Not worth that as a player, but as a flipper, maybe.

[quote name='Jack' post='1361329' date='Sep 3 2011, 09:17 PM']Whilst we're being educational, the word is 'impedance', not 'ohmage' or anything else of the like. You don't say 'kilometreage', you say 'distance'. One is the measurement and one is the unit. (I guess for some reason we do say 'footage' when measuring distance or area but I digress.)[/quote] Mileage. The impedance thing is more importantto differentiate it from resistance. And cabs is nominal impedance anyway, so isn't really impedance, 'ohmage' is probably better thought of as a term meaning 'nominal impedance as applied to speakers'.

Would like to have a go at sorting that. Even though I haven't actually finished sorting the one I have (got a new plate and nut to go on).

Kind of harsh trolling the guy.

Some typical wishbass noises with untypical wishbass playing. I know the vid you mean, but I can't find it, in front of what appears to be a barn full of junk and short shorts, with risk of further 'junk'. Used to be on [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/wishwig"]Wishnevsky's youtube channel.[/url]

Well, I just sent him an entirely appropriate 'here is a link to my P bass copy that is for sale, of interest?' and he couldn't cope with that either, just got a lot of question marks in reply.

I got my knot hole and bark inclusion:

Wattage is measured any way you like. TC conspicuously didn't say 'RMS' jsut gave another figure for 'peak' showing they weren't doing the usual trick, ala Behringer. For a real measurement you need watts RMS @ x% distortion @ y-z frequency range/a specific frequency.

[quote name='51m0n' post='1359351' date='Sep 1 2011, 11:29 PM']Nope, you are very misguided, diameter has nothing to do with tone at all.[/quote] Small caveat in that it kind of does if you aren't stood with the cab pointing at your ears, and then it is the total diameter of the whole array of speakers, but the caveat is important because it applies to a lot of real situations.

[quote name='bobpalt' post='1358467' date='Sep 1 2011, 09:39 AM']I have been through a number of cabs in the last year, constantly looking for the Holy Grail, but the fact of the matter is, I really dont know what I'm looking for! I do have a number of criteria, and money is no real object, but apart from the cab I use for practice (a 15" EBS non-neo with no tweeter), everything else I have tried seems to have [b]too much "mid" [/b]for my, admittedly shot-away, hearing. I play in a covers band that majors on rock and 70s music.[/quote] Looks like a lot of people are suggesting mid heavy cabs. The Aguilar GS cabs are noted for their scoop, and olschool sort of people dig them when they try them.

Always good to have stuff teched if you don't know. Need to find a good tech who knows how they work proper though, as be unlikely to fin a schematic for it. A local 'tech' 'fixed' the distortion on the drive channel of someone's amp recently.

Roundwounds with the windings squashed, so oval wound.

Isn't the pre in the TC stuff really programmable? Maybe leave the cab flat and tweak from there. Also, Aguilar GS cabs have that thing going on.

This is my original one, that I refinned myself, I've got a bunch more experience doing it now, so this one should come out better.

He has cut the sides already, but no pics yet, yay, and boo.

[quote name='daz' post='1357876' date='Aug 31 2011, 07:05 PM']Whats the diff between the "Green" GT200's and the black Matamps ? (i think the [i]Green[/i] ones look much snazzier)[/quote] The colour. And to an extent the date, since they ran out of green. But you can have a Green one in black. The faceplates are custom to order, so you can have whatever written on it.
