I don't mind selling one of my HLF's - this adventure might happen soon...


Anyone a fan of 4x12's here??

Not sure of a "preferred" builder. But I personally think this guy does really cool stuff with the greenboy designs.

I really need this to be an 8 ohm cabinet, though.

A little intro: Am primarily a guitar player, but for every band I've ever played in I take a bassist roll. With my current band, Mariana, I decided to take full ownership of being a badass bassist. We are a pseudo proggy, pseudo stoner rock group - Basically we have fits of Isis, Russian Circles, Hum, Pelican etc thrown all about.

Current rig is:

Fender Blacktop P Bass --> Volume pedal -> Boss TU-2 -> Fulltone OCD -> Ibanez DE-7 short delay -> Ibanez DE-7 long delay -> Tech 21 VT Bass Deluxe DI -> Ampeg SVT 3 Pro -> 2 Ampeg 410HLF's.

Been trying to friend a couple people's bands on here. We are in Idaho, but plan on making weekend trips to WA, OR, NV, UT, MT, etc....

Found this site while searching for a replacement for the SVT3, as well as the desire to push more air than my 410's can handle. Ideally i'd like to replace 1 of the cabs with a 2x15. haha, learning more about Greenboys offerings.

This looks like a great place to do some discovering!

Welcome man, thanks for the like on Facebook as well by the way.

Everyone else pretty much covered everything I would have said. Head and cabs not matching up, an impedance mismatch won't do you any favors in the power output department. I have a 410HFL and like it fine with the tweeter off, I used it on my last two recording sessions, but I'm not sure a pair are the best choice for maximum volume. The diameter of the speakers don't make a difference so much as the model, the cab, how everything is designed and put together (and used). Some greenboy cabs are modular, some are meant to be an all-in-one. If went that way you'd probably have a discussion with the builder about what your needs/rig are and what you wanted to get out of it.

Holy sh*t man, stubborn is right. Tell that kid it's time to wrap it up and hit the road.

Pedalboard update! HNNNNNNGGG

[mc_muench]

is there supposed to be a pic?



EDIT: Awesome...want oso...oh so bad.

[LOCOPELAND]

There's one for me.....hmm.

[Niff]

awesome man. i'm not taking pictures of mine until i've put together an actual board to sit them on and added an HPF-pre and volume pedal. i'm a sucker for taking loads of pictures to show off my gear and it's motivating me to get my **** together and budget for them..

in pedalboard news, grey DOD 250 clone ****ing rules for some trebly 70s tone with the ric in combination with a solo'd bridge pickup. my dirt quest is over, now i need to focus on utility pedals (as above) and my amp situation.

i almost forgot to mention, i found an LTD EC 50 guitar under my bed i'd forgotten about for literally a year, my girlfriend's dad gave it to me. plays nice after i lowered the action and tuned down to C standard. tempting to outfit with good pickups and sand the neck/replace the hardware.

Solid LOCOPELAND!

I have still yet to hear the BB/EL OSO combo, but have heard nothing but good things about it. Someday soon maybe. I am digging what I got going now as far as my pedal board goes. I love running the BB alone. I have a blender that I like putting my B3K and VT Bass in with my clean P bass into the GB SM 9.2 signal. Its just the right amount of dirty grind. I am really starting to dig the Blender for all it can offer as well. I have a couple of things that I plan to kick off my board, but those four things, are staying.

My friend who plays guitar in Mental Waste has an EC50. He put GFS pickups in it and they sound pretty good.

[Niff]

they really aren't bad guitars, i'm pleasantly surprised. smooth neck (may thin it), easy cutaway for weedly-weedly. bridge and tuners are kind of balls though. pickups, pots, switch and jack are cheap as hell too, but hey, free guitar, good project, and will serve as a backup for my guitarist lest he break strings at a gig.

One of the links in my Sig will take you to Greenboys site. There is a list of his builders, all of them are great.

Mark does some nice work, and is a great guy. I know he is like 10 cabs deep on orders right now. I would shoot an email to all the builders with ideas and see who can work you in.

Gotta pair it with something else? If you really want it to be 8 ohms you could build it with 8 ohm 3015's or 15pr400's. At that point I would just build two 215's in 4 ohms and run them in series.

It's going to be a guitar cabinet, and my jet city can't run one 4 ohm.cabinet as far as I'm aware.

[blendermassacre]

I have thought about running it through an ampeg 810 and splitting the cab up to make the loads work

If it solely going to be a guitar cabinet, then I would use different speakers.

Mark at BNA does do awesome work and is cool as hell.

Porn:


And my rig has been sounding completely awesome since I found that my doctor Q was sucking tone and took it out.

[blendermassacre]

Yeah, I have no clue what speakers I'm going to use. I was thinking of going just a guitar cabinet, but I might make it a dual purpose cabinet. Also, I've considered making two 215 cabinets instead, 8 ohm loads, that was I can use it with anything.
