Newfoundfreedom Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Anybody heard of them? Are they any good? This 4x10 cab just popped up one of my local buy sell groups. Decent second hand gear is a bit thin on the ground here in Bulgaria 600w at 4ohms. With the current conversation rate it comes in at about £220. Is it worth the money?

yorks5stringer Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Never heard of them, think they are German, Thomann sell one of their tweeters. Can't comment on the value, as if their is not a lot of s/h gear around in Bulgaria prices would be higher than somewhere else where gear is more plentiful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therein lies the problem. 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Cab looks as if it has plenty of 'heft' i.e not lightweight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that wouldn't worry me too much as I wouldn't be lugging it around much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Craaft are a well-estabished company based in Bavaria.I don't think they're involved in bass guitar cabs any more, but they manufacture quite a wide range of PA cabs. Last time I looked, they were the only German company making their own sound reinforcement drivers, and these were high quality. I think there's every chance this is a seriously good 4 x 10" cabinet, although whether it's worth the asking price is a matter for the buyer to decide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like ease of manufacture may have overridden absolute performance? Edited September 24, 2018 by Chienmortbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundfreedom Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Sorry? Colour me stupid. What's a slot port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 It's the rectangular hole in the bottom of the cabinet. It's used to tune the cab to the speakers and at the lowest frequency it is the air that vibrates in the port that makes the note not the speakers. That's a very small port for a 4x10. It may create some distortion and wind noise at high volumes. You may not notice though and there are a lot of commercial designs with over small ports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I thought Lyme Regis was a small port....sorry, you'll see my post in OT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
