The second driver allows the cab to be made smaller with no sacrifice in response, but that bit about there being no such thing as a free lunch reigns true to form, so what is sacrificed is output. The same two twelves in a larger cab would go louder.[/quote] Same maximum output when they reach the excursion limit, as a 1x12. With the same power, a 1x12 would go louder, but the isobaric would be bassier (but quieter), all other things being equal. That right? A pair of 12s both touching the air are more sensitive than one touching the air and one helping basically.

If it was a bolt on I'd feel more confident as it may be easier to fix - pity these dont seem to come up that often[/quote] [quote]Hello, Unfortunatelly the neck is not straight, there is a large bow along it, and the action is very high. Thanks,[/quote]

Replace the switch with a nice one in the Hyperdrive (easy) and you are good to go, it's a weak point.

More idle imagination rig building. If I use the crossover in my preamp to send everything over 100hz to a guitar amp, into a guitar cab (or one that doesn't like much by way of lows) will I still get hte same sort of sounds from it as if I were to send full range, less the sub 100hz, or does the bottom stuff hitting the amp make higher harmonics I'll be missing out on sending signal without those lows? Anyone use guitar rigs as part of their bass setup? Toying with using the high pass in the preamp to shoot that signal into a guitar head into my ABM 8x10 (only rated to 70hz by Ashdown and inclined to fart out with detuning) for driven valve growlyness (that I love) and still get bowel loosteng bottom elsewhere. Plus the option of feedback that goes 'eeeeeep' without tweeter nastyness, or that low mid feedback you get sometimes that is not so handy for not having a guitar player.

Most music shops have a box of them, bring in the bust one, get a good match, get some needle files (model shop if harware place doesn't have dinky ones) and go nots Or do what I did when unemployed; go to the butchers and file one out of a chunk of bone.

Any bass + this: I've seen live pics of King Ov Hell (Gorgoroth) playing a fretless, possibly a Warwick, really, its down to the player. If I was playing Black Metal, I'd play a P bass, trashed, spend the rest on new steel strings and be fully prepared to hit people with it if I was really feeling the music.

Peavey one, just realised I missed that its just Max, the Tmax is the head with the same preamp (which I have a dead one of laying about): Here is a pic of offending buttons:

[quote name='bigjohn' post='725243' date='Jan 26 2010, 02:56 PM']They sound interesting, but I can't find any! I'd like one of [url="http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=9&lng=en"]these[/url] I think... but it's only rated up to 13v. I reckon there's got to be a way. This fan actually comes resistive adapters to lower the voltage > rpm > noise, but 24v is outside of their scope innit.[/quote] Use two. Reverse polarity and facing each other. Although I think the fans are made to only turn one way. Just like isobaric speakers. Shoot up the fan diameter. [url="http://www.afrotechmods.com/fanmod.htm"]This might help somewhere.[/url]

[quote name='bigjohn' post='725127' date='Jan 26 2010, 01:41 PM']I've had a look about. All the PC ones I've found with lower db levels are 12v. Its got one these in at the moment... [url="http://octopart.com/8414-ebm-papst-3282"]papst 8414[/url] and supposedly they're quiet @ 35dba. I'll have another scout. Ta.[/quote] Go dual contra-rotating, that would be cool.

[quote name='johnbass57' post='725061' date='Jan 26 2010, 12:51 PM']If you are just using it for recording, WTF do you need a 2x15 for?[/quote] I recorded with a GS412 and a 4x10. Suspect the DI did a lot of the work though.

[quote name='bigjohn' post='724938' date='Jan 26 2010, 11:08 AM']Has anyone ever replaced a 24V fan with a 12V fan, perhaps using a resistor? I'm thinking there are 12v fans with much lower noise than there is in the back of my amp, with similar airflow flow ratings.[/quote] Probably better getting a 24v fan with less noise, for computers, best is probably find a PC techy forum and see what they suggest.

I've had this preamp for a while now, and its great. It has two sections, valve and SS, and the option to use either or combine. I've been combining, but have just been messing with rigging a footswitch for it, and realised that the single options don't work. The lights change, but the valve stage is always audible. Switching channel basically makes no difference. Where could it be wrong? Not just switching with the footswitch, but using the front panel button. Not really sure where to go with it.

If the thumb slips over the top of the fretboard, hit it with a stick. Make them listen to Jaco Pastorius until they 'get it'. Make them get an evening job, because its never too early for GAS. Ensure one of their friends is learning drums. Make sure they can hum the lines before they play them.

[quote name='simon1964' post='724344' date='Jan 25 2010, 05:59 PM']I think they simply split a mono signal into a stereo one, replicating the two outputs on the Ric 4003. I could be wrong though![/quote] Think its just a stereo to two monos, for using the stereo out into two amps.

You are lacking bottom with a GS412? I think you might need to change amp there. I've used an Aggie GS412 and a mesa 2x15, the former wins. Also, some worms from that can you open when you suggest mixing drivers.

Yeah, using car stereo components in a bass rig is the leading cause of Amazon deforestation, known and verified fact.

[quote name='offom' post='723656' date='Jan 24 2010, 10:38 PM']Everybody said, I better go and get a big&new one.[/quote] Get a big and second hand one. More bang for the buck.

I didn't like the Hydrive 4x10. Sealed cab and lacking bottom. Dunno if there is a ported one too.

If you like the sound as it is, but want louder, get another the same. A 15 underneath will probably not do much more than a crate of equal height, cause 15s don't move as much air and will probably do less with the power.

[quote name='alexisonfire' post='723314' date='Jan 24 2010, 05:25 PM']Would I be better off taking it back to the shop?[/quote] Probably, if it keeps going wrong, you don't want them to accuse you of having fiddled with it.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='723262' date='Jan 24 2010, 04:33 PM']The only real problem i had was the notes on the G string kept disappearing. Its not really a volume difference as far as i can tell. At sound check it was fine but once the band were playing almost anything i played on the G string seemed to get lost. This si what ive been hearing at home as well and this is really the only issue i have now.[/quote] Try clamping a g-clamp or somesuch to the headstock and see if it sorts that. Obviously not a perm fix, but it will show if one of those headstock weight things will fix that for ya.

It should be about right plugged right in. You have to be quite far out before it causes real trouble. Better to get is biased properly and looked over, those fuses will have blown for a reason.

[quote name='witterth' post='723203' date='Jan 24 2010, 03:36 PM']Well .......Bugger me!!!!! [not literally] never seen those before[/quote] Lucky for you that you haven't heard them either.
