Bump for price drop. -
Any comment on room EQ software like Sonarworks? I’ve had a good experience with it. I have a small room that I have absolutely zero treatments on. It’s not politically possible, as it were, to make that happen (yet). Sonarworks did an amazing job in that setting of making the monitoring usable. At least IME. EQ of course doesn’t sort out early reflections, reverb, etc in a room. And the effect is really only good for a small area between my near field monitors. But it has made an appreciable difference here...

Open to offers.

Lol. I'm going to suggest what I was using. Tecamp Puma 900 (500W into 8 ohms) is loud as hell into the F112. The voicing options on the head work well. The bass knob cuts at 30Hz so acts as a HPF for some rooms. 'Taste' knob radically changes the sound from crisp/clear to 'old school' middy/thumpy. The treble knob is set a touch high for my taste, but I only really tend to cut a bit there, so no biggie.

And the second one is sold. Thanks everyone for the interest. -
Deal pending for remaining cab.

All PMs responded to.

Ok. That’s one sold. Thanks Jimmy! The one remaining is the one in the pic below. I’ll flip the badge on it for aesthetic taste.

RMS handling is as per the Eminence 3012LF woofer specs - I cannot recall the data sheet immediately, but I think it’s 450-500W RMS. I remember thinking the rating was extremely conservative. Ed Friedland talks in his review (link in my original post) about driving it with 1200 Watts into a single cab without an issue. I certainly can’t hit the limits of the cab with 500W RMS... Weight is listed above in original post. 37 lbs each, according to the bathroom scales...usual caveat about bathroom scales should apply...

Sweet. I’ll PM you. Let’s work something out!

Evening all I hope I don't need to explain too much about these. Super high-end 3-way cabs with a ton of low end welly, volume, and clarity to match. I haven't played a finer cab. Or set, in this case. I'm basically not gigging and probably won't be for the forseeable future. However, these have served me well and I've been real gentle with them. I recently touched up a few scuffs with Duratex from the maker (Tricky Audio, here in the UK). So they look great. Hopefully the pics give good detail. 1 cab has the low end of output of a 4 x 10" and the volume output to match any other high end 1x12 - Berg, etc etc. 2 together is sweet. For most of my gigs 1 cab has sufficed. 2 is very very good indeed. On my bathroom scales they weigh 37 lbs each. (Caveats apply about bathroom scales, obvs). Size is 20" x 16" x 16", each cab is 8 ohms. Power wise they can handle a huge amount - I've never reached their power limits with my amplifier. Here's Ed Friedland giving his one a test run: And his positive review in Bass Player: https://www.bassplayer.com/gear/greenboy-audio-fearless-f112-cabinet-reviewed I will consider splitting the set. However they are mirrored so that they match when both in use. It's probably better that both go to a single home. These I'll sell for £1100 for the set. PM me and we can talk about shipping, dicker about price, etc. No trades; cash is king, etc. Happy for anyone to come and try them out; however once my Tecamp Puma 900 head sells, you'll have to bring your own head. Pics are taken in order of each cab, then of the two together. Edit 24/6/18: One sold. One remains. Edit 28/6/18: both sold. Thanks all Pete

Hey all I'm not gigging enough recently to justify keeping this head. It's been well gigged, but very babied. I love it - the Tecamp Puma 900 head. Loud, compact, powerful, and easily transported. It's great. 900W into 4 ohms or 600W into 8 ohms. 1U high, 2nd gen version. 2.4 lbs! £500 £450 including shipping in the UK. PM me with offers if you like also. No trades, thanks...I've got to pay for kids stuff and the car...lol Pete

Pmjos nailed it really. I have owned both Amp one and Amp three at various points. Huge huge low end output from both. Stupendous. Too much for many scenarios, but intoxicating. Easy to EQ up or down, depending on need. Great EQ on both. Lots of connectivity. Very loud. Not 2x12 loud, but definitely loud. I ditched both because I could not hack it without a tweeter/horn for top end. Beautiful warm sound out of both otherwise. Punchy. Great little amps.

Brilliant idea. Nice work. I'm almost tempted for one.

[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1508319143' post='3391275'] Any bass where the top strap button is higher than the 12th fret. I love the sound and feel of Spectors for instance, but reaching for the 1st fret is an uncomfortable stretch, unless I have the neck pointing upwards. I tend not to care what a bass looks like, not that bothered what it sounds like, but it has to be comfortable to play. [/quote] Also this. Strap buttons at 12th fret and above...why do people do this...first fret reach is a million miles away. Impossible. I'm looking at YOU, Warwick Thumb Bass.....

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1508311210' post='3391186'] Seems to me that Basses 'speak' to me through their neck dimensions. Anything too small and it just feels wrong to me. It's not just about nut width either, the only Jazz bass I've retained is my 1975. Obviously it has the 1.5" nut, but having the U shape neck makes it feel substantial in the hand, so it works for me. I've also got wider nut Basses, which have deep necks (Yamaha Attitudes), and shallower necks (Fender RW Precision). Seems as long as the neck has enough wood, then I'm happy. [/quote] I agree. However, I think it comes down to neck stiffness, as opposed to bulk. I love graphite necks and the necks of my Celinders...plenty of substance there. The Celinders have graphite neck reinforcement.

Yamaha SBV - To remove the pre-amp or not to remove?
funkle replied to BassApprentice's topic in Bass Guitars
Remove the preamp and sell both separately. You will almost certainly get more; people don't consider mods to instruments as generally adding much value. Pete -
Mods can close the thread. -
Withdrawn.

Final bump. I'll take it off the market after that.

Responded to messages. Bump.

BF Gen 4 cabs - not anytime soon but a new BF Amp may be!
funkle replied to Al Krow's topic in Amps and Cabs
The Puma 900 I run has probably the world's most useless bass boost knob - centred around 30 Hz. However, a smidge of cut makes the sound in many small rooms much better - a sort of ersatz HPF. Boosting there is not that useful IMO though EDIT: In fact, the more I think about it, it's probably quite a dangerous knob. A noob player looking to get more bass out of a cabinet not designed for it could easily put quite a lot of power through the woofer, if the maxed out that particular knob. Alex will know more about the power tolerances and voltages etc, but I imagine enough low end boost at high power could damage a woofer.
