Steve, have a great time. Please let us know your findings when you get back, will be interesting to hear how all your new gear panned out.
Cheers

And finally some pictures added for your perusal.

Welcome aboard. And yes your local guitar shop is most correct about Basschat being the font of all bass knowledge. Was that guitarguitar by any chance? I happen to work in Epsom.

Cheers

If they make them in 4 ohm then you can wire them in series. If they are just 8 ohm only then wire them in parallel for a 4 ohm total impedance. You wont be able to use an extension cab after that. I doubt extra bracing will be required.
I'm sure the experts will be able to advise here.

Yep, tis an absolute beauty. GLWTS

I'm selling my Yamaha BB1024 purely because I'm not gigging so much now, and doubt I will be for the forseeable future, so I don't really need a collection of gear around me - reminding me of days gone by

This one isn't getting the use it deserves.

Bought from GAK in 2013 this bass is beautiful to look at, with a stunning gloss lacquer finish over very nicely grained wood on the body. It's completely unmarked and comes with a Hiscox hard case which is also in very good condition.

Not really a lot more to say about these instruments really. It sings with a rich tone when needed, thumps like a P when needed, and will burp like a Jazz when needed.

Our bathroom scales indicate 4kg.

I'm looking for £475 for the bass and Hiscox hardcase. I'm based near Brighton.

Some pictures (excuse the spotlight reflections & shadows, my photographic studio is being used as storage while we are rebuilding our house :

In which case it should be named 'the Continuum' [size=4] [/size]

Stunning. You could licence it as the new Barefaced Behemoth

Paint it blue, stick a lamp on top and a Police Box sign, turn it up loud at it will probably move through time and space

Rechargeable NiMH are best for metal.

The new Fender Rumble v3 combos are getting some love at the mo. There's a thread somewhere around here...

I notice that luckily they will price match

Cheers chaps, will take a look at their websites when I get a chance.

Oh somehow I missed that thread. Those cabs look delicious, don't they? I'm hoping they sound just as good.

Which has the highest excursion/driver displacement? That's what limits low frequency output.
It's a bit of a trick question, since none of the listed examples tell you what their driver excursion limit/displacement is.

Do any manufacturers state those specifications?

Good call, thanks for posting.
Cheers

Blimey Steve that was quick! For any potential buyers Steve is a great guy to deal with and very genuine.
Good luck with the sale

Steve just picked up the Compact he bought from me. Great chap and very interesting to chat with over a coffee.

true, we do a kit run and you pick up what needs to go out and in.
These guys all belong to the same club and have secret meetings, I'm sure.
Top of the agenda, lets get as many BF threads as we can.
If there aren't enough threads here , there are more in the For sale forum..

True dat. And don't forget the Wanted forum too...

Good grief man, you must be crazy. I hope the new owner is a virtuoso worthy of it?

But is it any good for metal?

Well ive used mine both ways, and it works equally well either way. I had a wide Ashdown Klystron head that looked silly perched atop an upright Compact, but was perfect when the cab was on its side. Soundwise there was absolutely no difference.
For a while I had 2 compacts. Both on their side with the Ashdown on top was a fabulous sight and a thunderous sound.
Ive just sold my Compact though
Ahem.

And sold to a gentleman in Pompeii
