Kiwi Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 [quote name='alexclaber' post='399923' date='Feb 4 2009, 01:11 PM']I don't know how many exist - it sold for $10k and I think they still lost money on each one. A true 'halo' model like the Veyron. Imagine it stacked on top of their 16H cab - possibly even too loud for Lemmy![/quote] Thats a pretty crazy price. I don't understand how out of date technology can cost so much (unless they're hand built by lawyers...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 That PJB amp looks very impressive... until you find the bit that says: [quote]Weight: 110 lbs[/quote] It made my back hurt just reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 [quote name='synaesthesia' post='399872' date='Feb 4 2009, 12:21 PM']On the Alembic forum, you tend to get people with money who would rate anything as long as it is expensive. Other than DFUNG there's hardly anyone there who has anything acoustically or technically sensible to say about amplification.[/quote] That's me sorted out then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not intended as a slight towards you or your playing Looks like I will be there on Friday (surplus brownie points to burn, so I may as well use them before they time expire) look out for a fat bearded bloke in a bright orange basschat tee-shirt!

[/quote] yup im the same, me groove tubed SVT classic still does it for me after all these years..(though if i could ever find one at the right price a mesa diesel 2x15 to go with it would make it me ultimate personal combination i suppose.... ) i remember even with the standard valves using it for the first time at a gig, tentatively plugging in and hitting just a simple low E and thinking"ohhh lordy, that.... is ...just..so.. authorative.."..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come you got a BassChat T and I missed out !!!! ??[/quote] For cab wadding, try this stuff [url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?category=Hardware&masthead=Speaker_!amp!_Case_Linings&subheadnew=Wadding"]Wadding[/url]. It comes in 1.5m width so about 3m should be more than enough for your 4x10. I'd do the back, sides, top & bottom. Simplest way to attach it is with a heavy duty stapler, oh and don't stretch it tight. See you tonight then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On axis response sounds fine however you stack it and that is what fools most people into believing that that is how a stack of speakers will project acoustically.
