BNA fEARless 215 Wide - Yet another show piece!

[CL400Peavey]

So this is Mark Robertson's personal cab. I scammed these pics off of the FB, and wow this thing looks great. I believe the side decals are lightly routed into the wood, and then painted in contrasting colors. Another absolutely stunning build. Mark will be playing very loud upright bass through this cab. It has a cross over designed with that in mind, and Mark has said its the best cab he has ever played through.

I hate logos on cabs. Normally I remove them as soon as possible. This is the first logo that I really makes me go "WOW"! I think BNA is setting the standard for great looking cabs. I love the matching rack too. Not only does it match nicely, it appears solid but trim.

Yep. What gets me is the logo's are so clean.

Man, there is some pretty work coming out of that shop.

One of the nicest rigs I have *ever* seen.

Apparently, it sounds just as good as it looks. That is saying something.

Awesome looking rig, I just love big 2x15's and this one's a real peach.

Hey guys...thanks for the kudos! This is my personal rig. We're working with a local CNC place. Everything has hidden dadoes so this is a VERY strong cab. You have to assemble the entire box in one pass. No screws or brads, just a hundred clamps Since we had a CNC guy, I decided we should have him carve our logo and a greenboy icon into it, and I love the results. In the future all of our cabs will be made this way, as we get the designs programmed in.

I got to play a gig with it last night and the reviews were quite glowing. For loud upright bass, it's the best thing I've ever heard by a long shot, and all of my friends concurred that this was indeed the case There are two crossover options with the Fearless cabs. Option 'A' is the classic fEARful sound, with greenboy's 'more is more' approach...huge lows, very forward mids, etc. Option 'B' is a crossover he did to address two things.

1. Make it possible to play upright bass LOUD with great acoustic tone.
2. Smooth out the things some people don't love about fEARful's. Primarily the very strong mid voicing between 2-4k.

I prefer option 'B' for bass guitar and upright. It sounds like a greenboy design, but I can only describe the tone as more 'refined.' super smooth and hi-fi from top to bottom.

Hats off to greenboy for raising the bar in cab design yet again!

Wow, another great-looking cab! You're knocking the cover off the ball, Mark.

Thanks! I've never been a huge logo guy either. I just wanted to try it now that all all cabs are being cut with CNC...I liked the way it came out so....

What is the depth of the in-set?

Roughly 1/8". Was shooting for just enough to make it stand out and not look painted on, but not so much that we'd have to glue backing in behind it and add to the cab weight

[mgbass]

Very Cool!

can this be had in a 1-15?

I think the fEARless 115 (which will have a mid and tweeter) is coming down the line. I havnt seen any specifics about it, but I suspect it will be unveiled before too long.

Exactly right! The Fearless 112 is the next release, followed by the Fearless 115

Thanks Greg! Really, this is all about greenboy...I just try to make 'em pretty

[dukeorock]

Even though these are dolled up, it's the sound...these things are unreal...this will be my big cab for years to come, and the bonus is, it aint all that big! Kills my old 810's and weighs less than most 410's

[jHawk Customs]

Beautiful cab Mark. BNA is once again raising the bar on "pretty".

And about the sound? Preach it brother!

[Geoff Firebaugh]

I want. Those cabs are sick!!! They're the size of a 610, weigh less than my Acme 410, and sound better than anything I've heard. Oh, and mark makes 'em pretty too. Epic!

I know it depends on Eminence, but I'm waiting for the Fearless 110
