AREA Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Hans the Luthier from FMC is a great Guy and a Bass Player also. Always helpful if you got any Questions. He only builds Bass Cabs, because to deliver superb Quality for an affordable Pricepoint is his Passion as a Bass Player. It is a small Company with only 4 Employees as far as i know. And because you can buy the Cabs only directly at FMC he can offer the Cabs for an IMO great Pricepoint because, if you look at Tests at Youtube, the Cabs are compared with Cabs like Vanderkley, Bergantino & Glockenklang. I bought some Cabs from Hans before and they are really High Class. Superb Quality, very punchy and great sounding. Hans is on Holiday Vacation right now. He starts working again at Sept. 11th. I have a FMC 212H UL on Order right now to fit with my Mesa Subway D800 and so I am waiting for Hans to start building my Cab after his Holidays. There are two big Threads on the german Bassforum "Bassic.de FMC Infos FMC Reviews/Expiriences FMC on Facebook I hope this could help a little...

I would recommend to write an E-Mail to Hans and ask about the Shipping Quotes to Great Britain. As mentioned, he is on Holiday right now, but he will answer your Question asap.

franzbassist Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I have one of these on order: the 1210H UL. I'm hoping it will be a good one cab solution. 600 watts, 4 ohm impedance, 65.5 x 41.5 x 41 cm and weighs just 17.3 kg. I've ordered mine without the tweeter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassmanPaul Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I've never been a fan of mixing driver sizes in the same air space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eude Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Very nice @franzbassist! Do you know if they'll make a 1x12 with a 6" driver and tweeter? I'm finding the website a little tricky to figure out... Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to drop him a line later in the year. Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that’s not a problem at all. In fact that was my original plan when I was thinking a pair of 12s. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 My cab arrived today. It's beautifully made, sounds fantastic, and weighs 11kg! Review later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) So, initial impressions are excellent. The cab feels really well put together: It’s crazy light, 11kg is just insane for something this big! Metal corners and grille. A sort of medium pile carpet finish. Not sure how robust it’ll be, but time will tell. The rear panel is recessed in the same way as the front, so the speakon connectors have a little bit of protection. The cab has an 11cm port in the bottom. The cable and connectors inside look very heavy duty. Big thick feet to give it good clearance. The sound is wonderful. Full, rich bass, plenty of mids and just nice warm highs. As I said in an earlier post, I went without a tweeter as it goes to 6.5k with the 10", which is fine for me. It’s a perfect match for my fretless, as I hoped it would be. Hans says if it gets too boomy in a room the port can be plugged to tame it. Here are a few dodgy pics. I will take more when I can get it out in the sunshine. Edited April 27, 2020 by franzbassist 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franzbassist Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I have another cab incoming from Hans: the 112UL. 300 watts at 8 ohms 50Hz - 3.5kHz (I went for the version without a tweeter) 11kg 45Hx42Wx41D cm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 That looks awesome, I love the fact it's basically a cube too. You getting on well with it's big brother too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You getting on well with it's big brother too? I am loving the 1210! I've had the chance to run it at volume now and it sounds really great. It can get very loud but retains its shape very well. I especially like the down-firing port on the bottom, which can be plugged if its booty gets too big.

Bit random, but do you have any experience if Aggie's now defunct GS112 cab? That is the nicest small cab I've owned, and it had a glorious amount of low end for the size of it. Just wondering how this compares... Eude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long ago, in fact, that I don't think I'd be able to do any sort of comparison. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
