Back into the swing of things again and I played a jazz trio gig last night in a room I've played in a few times and always had crappy tone, too boomy in the corner and to piercing when I tried to eq out the boom.

Not last night though! Big E 4x6.5 sounded great as usual. I had a lot of people give me great compliments on my playing, I think they could just finally hear the bass clearly at the back of the room for once in this bar. Really my favorite cab for upright, I don't know why these aren't taking off on the DB side of talkbass.

By the way---just got a Tecamp Puma 900. Best amp I've owned. Electric or upright. You guys with the 4 x 8's---they sound astounding with the Tecamp. I think they can hear the low end in China.

How about the 4x6? Inquiring minds.

It is a spectacular amp.

Mike Arnopol · #**646** 01-18-2013, 08:28 PM

I played the Puma through the 4 x 6.5 and the 4 x 5. Best sound I've gotten through these speakers.

for simplicity's sake should I just call them the
MA 48
MA 46
MA 45

And then the MA 28 and
MA 26
?

DirtPoorRobins · #**647** 01-18-2013, 09:52 PM

Mike, if I get some scratch together, you might find yourself with another MA 45 order on your hands....

(first use of new cab's name

)

Badge would be cool though.

So I take it the answer is no?

Funny you ask about hard data. At last night's gig I passed out frequency response charts to the audience instead of playing. Then an origami flash mob broke out. It was crazy!

Mike Arnopol · #**651** 01-19-2013, 01:04 PM

Sorry--I've way to busy trying to get cabs out the door. I know Leland is doing a lot of measurements---he's putting it all together now.
And Duke will be doing some in a few weeks.

One thing I can say--I've measured the -3db points.
the 4 x 6 is about 43 and the 8's about 37.Built a prototype 2 x 10 with the new 3010lf's. 33hz!

I think that these beat most cabs I know. That are twice as big.

Mike - congratulations to you and the 'dynamic duo' for so successfully pushing the envelope. Keep up the good work!

Com'on Mike, you know size doesn't matter.

That low end extension is a lot lower than I had expected. I thought there was more of a perceived low end thing happening, which in my view is a neutral to positive actually. Meaning it's easier to control, IMO. But apparently it's less of an issue with these?

Also noticed on the facebook page there are some guitar cabs without cross-firing. So not necessary to the MVW design?

I don't know of any guitarist that I want to hear more top end from, especially off axis. That's my ear's haven!

Mike, don't do this to me.....

Is anyone with a BigE bass cab near Dallas/Ft Worth? I have a buddy down there who is in the market.

Thanks,
Josh

I have heard they are going to do a listening party near me (Oklahoma). I will call my buddy who knows more and see what I can find out.
