musgit Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hello, I've been lurking for a while and thought it was time to join. I'm an electric bass player, based in Brighton, playing for many years, mainly jazz and that sort of thing. From my tone safari so far, I play a Yamaha BB300 with flats through an acoustic image and Empress EQ. I've made a couple of BFM cabs and also my new one, which a sealed one based on the Beyma SM 212. Lots of info nicked from here! It's all sounding good at the moment but I'm probably going to make some more sawdust soon making a little sealed 1 x 10 for rehearsals.

SpondonBassed Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Welcome Musgit. Tone safari? Cabinet making? You've been paying attention. Come right in, pull up a topic in the build diaries and make yourself comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would definitely be interesting to see more about the BFM cabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musgit Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi and thanks for the welcome. I'm pretty sure that the Empress EQ has cured my tone safari, but you never know...... After a few years of persevering , my BFM cabs have been re-purposed. I made a Jack 112 with Deltalite and whatever I did I couldn't get it to sound any good. Tried it with the piezo array and without. Then I made one of the Simplexx ones, which was better, but by then I'd been rehearsing with an Ampeg 8 x 10 and figured sealed was the way to go and the Deltalite wasn't for me. Obviously my sealed 1 x 12 isn't as loud as the Ampeg, but it has a lot of the boingyness I was after and of course it's small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
