Owen Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 This ticks so many boxes it is unreal. This is serious bargain o'clock. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bill-Fitzmaurice-Designed-Simplexx-2x12-Bass-Cab-with-Beyma-SM212-12-Drivers/324530511836?hash=item4b8f869fdc:g:LfsAAOSwqVBgVfFN I know there is a forum for this, but I guess it is one of the obscurer corners of the site. I have no afiliation to the seller but would already own it if it was not a 12 hour round trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 @Bill Fitzmaurice of these parts no less. It does look nice, far too far away for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthumb Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I remember playing through one of the larger BFM cabs at a bass bash years ago and it was nothing less than phenomenal. I've played through a number of the smaller ones too which are equally impressive considering their size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 That's actually really close to me! Bit of a weird ohmage though - 6.5... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 It's impedance, and 6.5 ohms is the minimum, not the nominal. Assuming he wired them parallel the cab would be a nominal 4 ohms impedance. The Beyma SM212 is a very good driver, a considerable step up from the average. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkydoug Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Very nice, but too large a box for me. Slightly off topic but does anyone know of a UK based cab Builder who would make a custom BFM cab or two? I know there's a guy listed on Bill's site but he doesn't seem to be active, on email at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Too far away for me! 😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't let them do things their own way. Some of the worst results have come from contracted builders who should have stuck with making furniture, while some of the best have come from first time builders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
