[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1456073843' post='2985122'] Are you new to the internet? [/quote] Why would you think that?

[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......

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.

[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!

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.

What exactly was the point of that post?

God, I can't believe I'm stooping to their level........

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1455281645' post='2977740'] You missed the pun [/quote] No, I just refused to be reeled in.

[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).

What's wrong with Artexed ceilings I'd like to know!

I quite fancy one of those Sire basses.

These get great write-ups on the German bass forums. Strange they haven't made it across the channel.

The first coat of paint is when it really starts looking like a cab.

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1454920299' post='2974067'] This. I also find that putting a dab of flux on and tinning the area first helps. [/quote] I was not talking about the normal Neutrik jacks, which have a cup for the earth that takes solder very well. This particular type, which I don't think they made for very long and I believe may have been the right angled type, had a solid lump of zinc for the earth connection, which made it very difficult to get a quality joint. It does sound like the conductive plastic shield could be the cause of the problem though.

You're welcome. That really goes to show what great singers can bring to a lyric.

Great version of that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icx4yV6TJkM

There was one particular issue of Neutrik jacks that had a poorly designed earth connection that was so solid that you couldn't get it hot enough to take the solder properly. It would draw all the heat into the casing of the plug. I have a couple somewhere. They have black plastic tops. They later went back to the normal earth tag.

Colin bought an electronic crossover from me recently. A very easy chap to do business with and highly recommended! Colin, I notice that you have a feedback thread for Whizzy and also one for Whizzzy. You might like to ask a mod to combine them.

So now you know why a 100 watt Marshall bass head and 2 4x12 100 watt cabinets (containing drivers with virtually no xmax) could blow your socks off in the old days.

Replacing the feet certainly looks like the ideal solution. That's a very useful thread, McNach. You have to wonder why Genz didn't fit rubber feet in the first place. If that doesn't do the trick, the cab's the problem. And yes, BotB, there are plenty of cabs that are reasonably immune to this kind of problem, but the current trend is towards cheap and lightweight - and the lighter you make the cab the more difficult it is to stop it vibrating. Similarly, if you make your cab out of cheap shuttering plywood, as many companies do, they are also going to suffer from this problem.

The real question here is: have you got a faulty one or are these just a crappy design? Because this should't happen with a properly built bass cab. Unfortunately, a lot of lightweight and cheaply made cabs suffer from this problem. I haven't heard any bad reports about these boxes but only someone with hands-on experience can tell you for sure. The fixes already suggested might stop your amp from falling off the cab but who wants a cabinet that vibrates like a snare drum?

I get that impression too.

They look good and are priced really well. Anyone know what "lightweight ply" means?
