  1. Ian very kindly offered his nearly-new-but-with-a-screw-missing microphone stand for free, which I picked up yesterday. Found a screw and the jobs a good 'un. Thanks Ian!
  2. Great answer. Thanks icastle.
  3. Are the latest FXX plugs an improvement on the previous FX types or just a move sideways?
  4. Ian, my son's garage band is trying to get some mics and stands together, and that would be a useful edition. Would you mind messaging me with your details?
  5. Outstandingly clear and informative review. I don't think anyone has mentioned the price yet, which is about £1,150. That's beyond most of us, unfortunately.
  6. [quote name='Gottastopbuyinggear' timestamp='1456318531' post='2987733'] Yes, I'm quite keen to build the Basschat 1x12 as well, and I'm eagerly awaiting the full write up, although I think enough has been published so far to crack on anyway. [/quote] There's enough information in the thread for you to get cracking, yes. As you seem familiar with WinISD, you can always modify it to suit yourself by, say, fitting different ports, modifying the bracing, etc. etc.
  7. There is a wood merchant across the water in Bristol who stocks poplar ply: <http://www.avonply.co.uk/Client%20Area/ASP/Plywood.aspx>. I'm not a fan of 1/2" plywood, but if you do get normal ply, make sure you get Scandinavian or Russian birch ply. The good stuff really does make a difference to the stiffness of the cabinet. Beyma is a great choice. Their ceramic drivers are probably the best value out there at the moment (at least in the UK).
  8. WoT will be along in a minute.
  9. If this is a first build, you might be better to keep it simple and go with a 1x12". The size you want to build is about right for a 12. There is a wider choice of suitable drivers. Driver cost is going to be virtually half. There is quite a lot of info on this site covering a 12" build - the Basschat 12 Diary, and Beer of the Bass's build thread, to name just two. Your choice, of course. Oh yes, and in response to your other question, B&C drivers are excellent. They are one of the brands used by the major names in PA, which is always a good sign. Not all of their speakers are suitable for bass guitar, however. Oh, and one more thing: the frequency response curves for raw drivers on the various manufacturers' websites depend on how they are measured. So you can't really compare the 40 to 300Hz measurements on the Eminence website with the ones on the B&C website. You need to model the parameters to get an idea of how the drivers will perform in an actual cabinet.

  11. Thanks JapanAxe - and all the others who made their point in a civilised way.
  12. That is cheap - and Allparts are not a cheapo brand. Problem is, my flats seem to last forever (5 years so far). Allparts do rounds for about the same price. It's got to be worth a punt.
  13. Yes, yes, I promise not to do it again.
  14. [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1456073843' post='2985122'] Are you new to the internet? [/quote] Why would you think that?
  15. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1455924740' post='2983795'] Hey! I contributed to that and 10/10/10/10 all vertical makes more sense than 10/10+10/10... that didn't pan out right! :/ [/quote] Yes, I saw. And you didn't even mention dispersion......
  16. 490,000 BCers eh? Sorry for the grump, Roland. However, your eagerness to inform everyone about your new purchase struck me as vacuous because it lacked any real information. I'm sure your opinion will be worth reading when you post it.
  17. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1455924275' post='2983790'] You could equally ask what's the point of 90% of the posts on BC? [/quote] Quite true. You've read the fish pun thread then? Sometimes I don't know what keeps me coming back here. 2 x 10 or 4 x 10? Give me a break!
  18. I don't think the fact that you have a new amp is of interest to anybody. Why should it be? Your thoughts once you've tried it out could be though.
  19. What exactly was the point of that post?
  20. God, I can't believe I'm stooping to their level........
  21. [quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1455281645' post='2977740'] You missed the pun [/quote] No, I just refused to be reeled in.
  22. [quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1455281240' post='2977730'] I suppose it doesn't matter if one thread spawns another does it? [/quote] Absolutely not, but there should be some relevance. Otherwise it's like having a conversation in a mental hospital. (I'm sure some of you know what I mean).
  23. What's wrong with Artexed ceilings I'd like to know!
