andyonbass Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) Some of you may be familiar with this cab, built with great care and attention by Dave Perry, (build diary [url="http://www.finnbass.com/showthread.php?t=2216&highlight=omni15+tallboy"]HERE[/url]), but sadly, due to a shortage of gigs, and my lad taking up Kart racing, I have decided I need to reduce the amount of gear I have accumulated. I have enjoyed gigging this cab over the last year or so, its been 100% reliable and coped easily with any situation whilst sounding brilliant. Surprisingly easy to move about and load up too. Hardly a mark on it, its been protected by a superb quality Roqsolid fitted cover. I bought this off of Hamster, on here, for £300 about a year ago [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72089&hl=omni+15"]For sale thread here [/url] so after a years light gigging its still gotta be worth [s]£275[/s] £250 of anybody's money. Hell, for the money there's nothing that comes even close, and I'll be lucky to get a set of tyres for that, but its priced to sell .

3below Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 BUMP I wish you had put this up a week ago. It's less than the cost of the parts and time. Sadly I've just ordered the parts etc. An absolute bargain for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Is there a means of shutting off the tweeters for fuzzyness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Basically, if you use fuzz pedals, tweeters do horrible shrieking, so I'd need to turn them off. Was hoping there'd be an attentuator knob somewhere, can probably rig one in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentode Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I've got the 'Wideboy' version of this cab (same parts slightly different layout) and can highly recommend it. The bottom end on these is nothing short of amazing as it's basically a sub with a 15" driver. The midrange is handled admirably by the 8" driver with any top end requirements by the tweeters. On mine, I found the tweeter a little bright for my tastes and although a simple switch could be installed, I just stuffed a small piece of black cloth in the horn to tame it....! As has been said, £275 wouldn't get you the parts (there's some quality coils in the crossovers) let alone the hours spent building it. S'bargain, I tells you all, a bargain!

3below Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) Switching the tweeters off is no more than a switch away, £2 or £3 at most + a bit of time. This cab is the one of the bargains of a lifetime. From a quick scan of the original thread a 3015 LF and an eminence 8" + tweeters. Go on buy it, stop me please, I have just bought the parts and this is cheaper and less time and effort. You know you want to. Why am I building one; to compare it with my Barefaced Big one at 8 Ohm, 500W. These guitar players with their 20W and 40W valve combos, too loud man, too loud... and Roland the drummer is beyond belief. How did I manage with a Vox AC50 and Foundation 2x15 as my first serious! bass rig. (edited for spelling due to my jumpy t***a laptop mousepad).

andyonbass Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) It is superb for getting in and out of venues with the tilt back castors, its narrow enough to fit through any doors with ease and is a simple one hand operation to lug around. It is lighter than my previous peavey 4x10, and much easier to move about. Oh and it sounds tons better!

3below Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Bump Sadly the components I ordered have arrived before I could cancel them (Xmas and new year in France) so I will have to build my own, this will cost more and take time conmpared to this one.

Stonking performance and if I had the space I would keep hold of this until I get back in a band situation, but I still have the Omni 10.5's I built and something has to go! Its good fun building your own, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
