That would suggest there's something in this science/engineering then I suspect (in that we know the BF is well engineered and as I understand it the Eden 410 is as good an engineered 410 as you'll get; I'm casting aspersions on the TC cab here a little of course......)

No idea I'm afraid! Conversely on the pro side, Phil Mulford and I exchanged views on the BF Super Compact a few months back and Phil very much didn't like it, and said he much prefers 10s and 15s to 12s and this cab was no different in changing his view that 12s had too much gnarly mids for his taste

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1430938763' post='2766200'] We wont know until top class people start using them... and shops start stocking them. [/quote] Like Neil Murray perhaps, and with respect to shops, Bass Gear (TKS) and the Great British Bass Lounge (Barefaced)

I disagree. Just because otherwise it's not Basschat

[quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1430844915' post='2765135'] Thank you for this review. No need for 800W for me but they are bringing out a 400W version. Seriously need for one of those! [/quote] Oh, bugger

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1430863180' post='2765472'] That's a far better explanation than mine. Frank. [/quote] Makes a change for me

Bill, Alex et al have all got the ears, they have heard what they like/don't like and what is good/bad about speakers, they have learnt why things break/sound crap/sound great. They have the science AND the ears IMO But I think that's what you're getting at isn't it JTUK; one without the other is not so great

That is a very sexy little rig. Nice!

TBH the tiny overhang when the Super Compacts are vertical doesn't worry me, so it depends how wide the stage is!

I can vouch for the ABM500 + 2x Super Compact rig. Stonkingly good

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1430581804' post='2762854'] I love the - now disconinued - Super 12T. Fantastic one-cab-does-all solution, easy to carry, on-board wheels, loud, articulate, all I need in a cab. So I have two! [/quote] Knowing the old S12 and the new Super Compact, I can safely say the new Super Twin is even more immense and incredible

Yep: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/261130-tc-group-bought-by-behringer-including-tc-electronic/page__view__getnewpost

Must watch later - might get fired listening at work!

Every gig is a bass cock up from beginning to end for me

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1430306826' post='2760029'] Beware of buying more than you need! [/quote] Naaaah. I have three heads with a fourth on order and four cabs. A rig for every occasion, and several occasions I don't require too

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1430252597' post='2759612'] Me too! I was expecting one of those Dan Armstrong basses. [/quote] Like this? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/256447-new-bass-ampspeaker-concept/page__fromsearch__1

[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1430243609' post='2759460'] I don't know I agree with this theory, the good old Celestion Vintage 30 is a common swap into many different guitar cabs and, as far as I am aware, usually gives a big improvement, probably purely because it is a higher quality speaker than the normal, manufacturer price driven, unit.... See if the cab builders recommend anything specific for the cab, if not visit the likes of Celestion and see if anything takes your fancy, they do have sound clips available for a lot of the speakers but that has always confused me as if I listen to the clip on the laptop it will sound crap...if I listen through the hifi it will sound much better! so surely the clip quality is driven by the speakers you listen to them through! [/quote] Er, bass speaker cabs are a completely different kettle of fish from guitar speaker cabs. It's all in the low frequency handling

You want more power in the bass/lows - for example the GK biamp system offers 50W for the highs and 400W+ (depending on the model) for the bass

Wrong AH1000 for your BFC I'm afraid Urban Lions!

[quote name='Urban Lions' timestamp='1430085201' post='2757912'] Thank you. That narrows my search down a bit more now. Do you think there are any still in existence? [/quote] Yes, just about as rare to find as their magical V Type 4x8 cabinet though!
