Mr. Foxen

Can you get other grill cloth colours?

Is the port tuning thing plugs for each section? On the left = Doom.

I'd love a bassman 135, but I would use another bass for my low end, should get some sweet growly overdrive from it. The cab might be meh, and 2x15 is inevitably big. Its Fender, so is gonna be an investment whatever.

Hard to get a seal between moving parts without lots of friction, and you don't wanna be oiling your cab between songs.

[quote name='joegarcia' post='523945' date='Jun 25 2009, 05:59 PM']Isn't that a guitar combo?[/quote] You're a guitar combo. I think running an extension cab instead of its own speakers is best plan. Means you can rag it and not worry about the extension cabs drowning out the breaking speaker sounds.

If you look at Mythbusters with some real science, it tends to fall over. Especially the brown note one where they were playing 'sounds' in the single digit freq range though speakers that jsut won't do it. Think they revisited that one later, but ain't caught it.

Angle one so it points at your ears. The property you are looking for is good dispertion (sal?) or good off axis response, so you can hear when its not pointing at you.

Also, forgot to say; Doom.

[quote name='jensenmann' post='522065' date='Jun 23 2009, 09:19 PM']As long as you´re in a room with your cabs the room will add loads of modes and combfilter low frequencies anyway, no matter if you have one cab, two or twentyseven. As it´s mainly a function of the placement which is depending where you are standing on stage there´s not much choice and you will have the trouble in a kind of unpredictable way. No way to avoid that. Oper air is different. One cab is perfect (besides first reflection from floor and - probably neglectable - from roof. Two cabs will give frequency depending combfiltering and frequency depending dispersion. All the theory besides 2x 8x10"SVT rock. Your guitarplayer shall live in fear :brow:[/quote] From my understanding, even one cab ins't perfect, since the speakers are next to eachother, just close enough that the null will not be the same for each of your ears. Two cabs directly side by side might also produce an acceptible pattern, so you can get away with it. But one each side of the drummer and from experience, the filtering is silly. Of course, you can get bone cruching sound out of multiple 8x10s:

What's the deal with free shipping? Suffering from that ebay rule to stop the 99p + £100 post thing?

Heavy enough strings will straighten that neck out.

Nerd fight! My primary source of driver failure is damp.

If you plan on detuning any, lights definitely won't cut it.

Not looking in the back of the van and saying 'So... where is your drum kit in here?'

I used a pair of 8x10s, one eitther side of the drummer, the nulls were nuts, I could stand in a gap and hear the guitar really clearly and no bass, and step foward a foot and get mad droning feedback. It was awesome, lets you eq your ears by where you stand. Not very ideal if you had some sort of fussyness about exact sound balance. ChiSeerkind has a very old SVT he had to replace speakers in, hassle him to see what he did. With my 8x10 I run it as two 4x10s, and tempted to but bassier drivers in bottom half, guitar drivers in the top, but will actually never get round to doing this and buy more cabs instead.

I had the same strings on a reverse headstock jazz and my through strung P, anf there was a very noticeable difference in the string tension, the jazz felt much slacker, but the setup was better, the action probably influences the perception of tension on the left hand, but the right hand its more picking position.

Those are wasted on Peter Hook. He doesn't use that lovely neck bucker on his, grrr.

[quote name='joegarcia' post='518044' date='Jun 19 2009, 01:05 AM']184lbs![/quote] Doom. Always wondered what Ampegs have over all the other 8x10s. Is it just the name?

[quote name='escholl' post='517999' date='Jun 18 2009, 11:40 PM']sounding good so far, i'm guessing you're looking to add more cabs to it?[/quote] Doom.
