What you need to do is find the SPL for the other two speakers. Things start getting rather convoluted due to the logarithmic nature of sound levels, but, taking a simplistic approach, if they're both around the 103dB 1W/1m level, the volume will be around the same. A 3dB difference in sound level means a doubling in power, so if they were both around the 100dB level, you would need to turn the amp up a bit. How much is another of those piece of string questions, volume/output level controls are nominally logarithmic so on a scale of 1 to 10 you might turn it from 5 to 6, or you might have one of the more biassed controls that have most of the power increase over the first half of their travel which would mean you had to go from (say) 4 to 8. There may well be someone a bit more knowledgeable than me along in a bit to correct any mistakes I've made. [/quote] Thanks again for your advice...I've found out they they output at and I assume there's going to be a bit of a drop in volume there: [b]Sensitivity:[/b][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3] 96 dB 1W 1M For the 115 cab[/size][/font][/color] [b]Sensitivity:[/b][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3] 98 dB 1W 1M for the 210 cab[/size][/font][/color]

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1342819786' post='1741633'] ....Speakers differ in efficiency as well as in impedance and power handling. Total speaker cone area will be smaller but if the speakers move further (higher Xmax) then the volume of air moved might be the same or more. How often do you actually run it flat out? [/quote] Well I do play in a very loud rock band and I need the power/volume for this gig. The cab I'm thinking of replacing is a Bergantino NV412, just because I want to make the rig a bit more portable for smaller venues.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1342814236' post='1741533'] I had similar issues when ordering a Moses jazz neck. Three shipments missed. Moses were apparently to blame because they might have been moving premises around then (according to Steve Moses) and when the neck finally did arrive, All-parts gave me a free t-shirt by way of apology. It may well be that they get dicked about by US distributors because they're not a big enough client to be a priority if stock is a bit thin on the ground. [/quote] Yes, you might be right Kiwi but they waited 6 weeks to make the phone call and find out, they could have done it way earlier! Also no replying to emails and bad manners on the phone can't be blame on anyone else but themselves.

Tauzero, StraightSix, thanks a lot for your help guys! Not sure if changing my 412 cab rated at 750 watt is going to be a good idea, with the new rig I'll be losing one speaker as I'll have a 115 and a 210 cab...will I lose volume?

[quote name='StraightSix' timestamp='1342811224' post='1741463'] Maximum of 750 watts RMS running at 4 ohms. [/quote] So the sum of both cabs wattage then? That's the same as my current 412 cab, will they feel as loud by being two cabs?

Not sure about this set up I have in mind for my Aguilar DB750 amp: If I run two 8 Ohms cabs, one 2x10 cab 350 Watts and the other one a 1x15 400 Watts, that would make them go down to 4 Ohms, right?.... what total wattage I'll be getting?

...yes, of course I did cancel my order..but I have already los 6 weeks waiting for the pots. Not sure I have mentioned but most of my emails were not answered and when on the phone the staff's attitude was appalling, no interest whatsoever and rude in some cases...definitely not buying from them again! Now, where else can I find 50K pots with center detent, please?

[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1342774546' post='1740643'] Tell them 'see you next Tuesday'. [/quote] [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1342774701' post='1740646'] I concur [/quote] You read my mind, that's exactly what I told them!

Yes, that's my opinion after my last experience buying from them...I'll explain: I was looking for some 50K pots with center detent for my bass, I had a look on the net and I found them on AllParts UK website. They were listed as "in stock" and it was only when I was about to place my order, once on the checkout, that in said in small letters "out of stock" I thought, let's better ring them and ask before placing the order, so I did and asked them about waiting and delivery times to be told " we'll get them in stock next Tuesday and you'll receive them Wednesday or Thursday...I was happy with the time scale so I placed the order. The next Thursday arrives an no sign of the pots, waited till Friday and no pots so I contact them and again I'm told there's been a mistake and they will arrive on a shipment they have next Tuesday... I said OK, mistakes happen, I understand, I'll wait for another week. Another week goes by and no pots!...I contacted them again and guess what I was told?... same story, "they are arriving next Tuesday"...I quickly pointed out that this was the third time I had been told the same thing and again I'm told "There's been a mistake" and I said one mistake not three mistakes so far. . ....Fast forward two more weeks and I still haven't received the pots and every week I have been given the old "we are receiving them next Tuesday" Yesterday I contacted them, again, I asked what was going on and if they were ever going to get my order right and get these pots in stock... I'm finally told they won't get them for another 5 weeks!!!! I don't really understand what these people play at, were they thinking of telling me the same silly story for 5 more weeks? A month and a half wasted with these people and no pots!... From when I first spoke to them I was told they would get the pots within a week and now, 6 weeks later, I'm told I'll have to wait for another 5 weeks...is this some kind of joke? This is by far the worst customer service I have experience ever! No replies to some of my messages and when on the phone they were useless and rude at times...I can't believe it! Sorry about the rant but it has really pissed me off

[quote name='Ant' timestamp='1341618903' post='1722056'] Had a major change up this evening, here's my board as it is now [/quote] Nice board! What do you have in there? Pearce BC-1, Octaver, LS-2, Markbass Synth....and?

Really like Mike's basses too but those headstocks are a let down for me

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1341258954' post='1716047'] he plays a standard Fender USA Deluxe V.. yes ive seen the Bass Gallery vid.. to be honest i thought it was a little over indulgent.. [/quote] I assume an older model because of the tuning pegs, right? Are they better than the ones made since then?
