Mental money that its gone for! I'm pretty sure when they start building again they will cost less than that.

Hi, yeah I have looked at the BFM designs, they look like a fantastic option, but I have no tools etc to make one myself. I do have a cabinet maker 20 yards around the corner from home though, so may well look into it in the future. A nice omni 10 + tuba 24 would probably do the job (of annoying the neighbours) !!

Just browsing ebay and noticed two basses next to each other, for all you Rush/Geddy fans; [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WAL-BASS-5-STRING-MK-3_W0QQitemZ140128330018QQihZ004QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WAL-BASS-5-STRING-MK...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2006-RICKENBACKER-4003-JETGLO-BASS-near-mint-OHSC_W0QQitemZ320125736239QQihZ011QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2006-RICKENBACKER-40...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Then they're would only be the jazz & steiny to get!

Sounds like they're for me then! I've been doing some shopping around and some calculations, and have worked out that a Low B2 cabinet will cost £450 all in at the current exchange rate. ........So it's a couple of months off the beer to pay for one!!

Thanks again for the advice Alex. My drummer is pretty dynamic, not a huge kit; we play pop/indie stuff (I know ...7 strings, overkill, ...I do a lot of chording.) At the moment I'm using an Ashdown EB combo+the hartke cab and it keeps up fine. (and sounds great)... but I'm wanting the sounds i get in my home studio, live. Probably too much too ask, Just seems Acme is the place to start.

Cheers Alex & Alemboid! informative as always. I was thinking of a 700-1000w power amp to drive it, as i am well aware that deep bass needs real power. Most of the pa amps (mackie etc) have sub (30hertz) filters, so would employ that. Another question(s) though, I already have a Hartke 2.5XL cab, would this work ok with the B2, or is its higher efficiency going to nullify the benefits of the Acme? Can the B2 handle small/med gigs w/o pa support (my band has just vox & guitar in the pa). Cheers Pete.

They are now available at thomman at £32 a pop. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_black_label_dark_lord_set.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_black_lab...rk_lord_set.htm[/url]

I know of only one uk user (alexclaber) who uses these, would appreciate some info from anybody about the cost of importing etc. I have done my own calcs based on the few imports from 'states , also how they might do in the "real world" with a 7, tuned low F# up. (I know the maker recomends low B as a limit).

I play an Ibanez RD605 with my indie band, but all my home recording projects are usually with my Conklin GT7.
